The World Health Organization (WHO) and the Organisation Internationale de la Francophonie (OIF) will co-host a high-level roundtable on accelerating investment in Civil Registration and Vital Statistics (CRVS) systems across the Francophone world. The event takes place on 3 November 2025 at the Palais des Nations in Geneva, aligning with the 50th session of the Human Rights Council's Universal Periodic Review. 

The roundtable will explore strategic partnerships and digital innovation for CRVS transformation. It features two sessions: one with country-level discussions (including Benin, Cameroon, Guinea, Rwanda, Senegal, Switzerland, and Togo), focusing on investment mobilization with global institutions (e.g., World Bank, Vital Strategies, WHO).

CRVS systems are crucial for legal identity, service delivery, and public health. The hybrid event offers simultaneous French-English interpretation, with registration via Zoom/Indico and a live stream on YouTube. 

Details of the high-level roundtable is as follows:
