Fiji has launched a nationwide campaign to improve birth registration and legal identity, focusing on underserved rural and maritime communities. Running from June to September 2025, the initiative is a joint effort by government ministries and international partners. It targets ten regions with the longest delays in registration, deploying mobile teams equipped with off-grid technology to deliver on-the-spot services.

In July, the Ministry of Justice received a CRVS Awareness Kit from Canada, funded by Vital Strategies, containing tools like a laptop, printer, scanner, and power pack to support remote operations. The campaign uses a three-pronged approach: collaborating with healthcare workers, offering mobile registration for births, deaths, and marriages, and educating students about the importance of civil registration. In August, Northern Division outreach activities in Nabouwalu, Savusavu, and Taveuni emphasized the role of registration in daily life. The campaign also reached Dravo District School, extending services to the wider community.

This effort supports Sustainable Development Goal 16.9, which promotes legal identity for all. By expanding coverage and improving data quality, Fiji is working to ensure inclusive access to essential services and reliable statistics for national planning.

Additional activities and updates from the Fiji Bureau of Statistics are available on the website and social media channels.
