Today, it is becoming more evident that every African nation is suffering from the effects and consequences of a lack of reliable and routine population and health statistics due to the absence of complete civil registration systems. Absence of routine population dynamics information has affected the preparation of current population estimates and the updating of population projections. This has resulted in limited use of national census data and lack of reliable statistics for the designing, implementation and monitoring of development policies and programmes. On the other hand, most Millennium Development Goal (MDG) health indicators, including infant and under-five mortality rates, maternal mortality ratios and cause-specific death rates, are being affected by the absence of reliable and current mortality measures.
