Open CRVS

OpenCRVS

 

 

A digital public good to achieve universal civil registration and evidence-based decision making.

For people to count, they must first be counted, and that’s what a Civil Registration and Vital Statistics (CRVS) system does, recording the details of all major life events, such as births and deaths. As the sole continuous source of population data, it provides the foundation for human rights, government service delivery, and the measurement of development goals. 


 

 

Highlights

The software is intended to be easy to deploy and requires minimal skills for customisation, maintenance and support.
