Abstract

The first ever conference of African Ministers responsible for civil registration took place from 13 to 14 August 2010 at the headquarters of the United Nations Economic Commission for Africa (ECA) in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. The conference was a follow-up from the recommendations of a workshop held in Dares-Salaam from the 29 June to 3 July 2009, which was subsequently endorsed by the second session of the Statistical Commission for Africa (StatComAfrica II). The conference was preceded by a preparatory meeting of experts from 10 to 12 August 2010. This conference was co-organized by ECA, the African Development Bank (AfDB), the African Union Commission (AUC) and the government of the Federal Democratic Republic of Ethiopia that hosted the event.
