Inclusivity: A theme for the 2024 review and potential extension of the Asia-Pacific Civil Registration and Vital Statistics Decade (2015-2024)

This paper examines inclusivity as a key theme for the 2024 Review and potential extension of the Asia-Pacific Civil Registration and Vital Statistics (CRVS) Decade (2015-2024) to 2030. It includes a review of existing literature to develop a comprehensive understanding of inclusivity in the context of CRVS and to justify the integration of inclusivity into the 2024 Review and potential extension. In addition to proposing a definition for inclusivity, the paper also operationalises the definition by identifying inclusivity-building catalysts and proposes a framework for integrating inclusivity in CRVS system improvement initiatives. Finally, the paper outlines a list of potential questions designed to measure progress in building and promoting inclusivity throughout the Asia-Pacific CRVS Decade as part of the 2024 Review process. These questions are intended for consideration by members of the Regional Steering Group (RSG) for CRVS in Asia and the Pacific.
