Civil registration centre for development-CRC4D : supplementary assessment of civil registration in Botswana, Côte d’Ivoire, Namibia, Nigeria, Senegal and Uganda—UNICEF contribution to the second conference of African ministers responsible for civil registration

Abstract

This supplementary assessment focuses on three “i-strategies”, while implicitly it is part of an important fourth “i-strategy”. The three strategies are: information and communications technology (ICT), interoperability and incentives. The fourth is the strategy of international exchange and, one could say, of “intelligence”, of which these assessments are an example. African countries have much to gain by working together, learning from and inspiring one another in addressing their civil registration challenges. The ministerial process is the engine for this international collaboration and exchange.
