Civil registrars from Eurasian countries gathered for their inaugural meeting on 15-17 April 2025 in Ankara, Türkiye. The focus of the discussions were to review recent progress in enhancing civil registration and vital statistics (CRVS) systems across Eurasia, exchange knowledge, insights and lessons learned, and to document recent progress towards the goals and targets of the Regional Action Framework on CRVS in Asia and the Pacific, the 2014 Ministerial Declaration and the 2021 Ministerial Declaration. Efforts in strengthening CRVS systems and their inclusiveness are a profound statement and commitment to human dignity across the life course.
