TAGS

Two capacity building workshops were held 24-27 September and 30 September-3 October in Paro, Bhutan. With participants from the Ministry of Home Affairs, Bhutan Bureau of Statistics, Ministry of Health and Department of Immigration, the workshops provided an opportunity for a large variety of stakeholders to get an in depth understanding on the production of demographic indicators. This included multiple hands-on exercises and analysis of the benefit and downsides of using census and civil registration data for the analysis of population, fertility and mortality estimates.

The workshops were part of ESCAP's support to develop a CRVS inequality assessment in Bhutan as part of the Bloomberg Philanthropies Data 4 Health initiative. The final report is expected to be finalized in early 2025. Bhutan will be continuing the analysis of CRVS accessibility and completeness with a gender perspective as part of the activities supported by the Global Grants Programme.
