Islamabad: The government is planning to introduce an upgraded Civil Registration and Vital Statistic (CRVS) model of registration for births, deaths, migration, adoption, marriages, and divorces in the Islamabad Capital Territory (ICT), according to news sources. The Central Development Working Party (CDWP) approved an initiative worth PKR 201.917 million to strengthen the existing CRVS system.
Officials have revealed that the project will enhance the registration process of vital events with appropriate technological updates. They stated that improved registration of vital events will streamline the health sector, information, inter-connectivity with social services and demand generation.
As per the publication, the initiative to optimise the CRVS systems will also strengthen 50 ICT Unions Councils (UCs) for online registration of vital events and share records with the federal data repository at the National Database and Registration Authority (NADRA).
In addition, the officials also revealed that the need for an updated system arose from the fact that Pakistan lacks credible registration of births and death, and the CRVS records are often inaccurate. However, this revamped civil registration system will help credibly collect vital statistics.
