Papua New Guinea Civil Registration and Vital Statistics Action Plan (2023-2025)

This refreshed plan is developed based on the findings of the Comprehensive Assessment completed by Jeff Montgomery in 2019 and is aimed at supporting the Government of Papua New Guinea in achieving a coordinated approach to the development of the CRVS system in the country. The plan outlines existing long-term development initiatives but mostly focuses on shorter-term actions that can support the larger initiatives, where multi-agency collaboration is necessary to deliver immediate and sustainable results. It was developed with assistance from the Pacific Community ESCAP and other Brisbane Accord Group1 partners from information gathered during meetings and workshops held with CRVS stakeholders in Papua New Guinea in August 2023. The plan was endorsed by the PNG National CRVS Committee on 28th November 2023.
