The Pacific Community (SPC) and Cook Islands government collaborated on this work with support from the Vital Strategies–Bloomberg Philanthropies Global Grants Program.
Fiji is the first country, to our knowledge, to embark upon an in-depth quantitative inequality assessment,
examining differentials by sex, age, ethnicity, and mother’s marital status.
This report provides statistics pertaining to births recorded by the Fiji Ministry of Health and Medical
Services (MHMS) and registered by the Civil Registration Office (CRO) for babies born during 2016-2021;
and deaths recorded by the MHMS for deaths that occurred during 2016-2021.
This report documents the results of the work of the Niue’s CRVS stakeholders in assessing, analysing and redesigning birth and death registration processes using the ‘assessment, analysis, and redesign’ stage of the CRVS Systems Improvement Framework.
The improvement of civil registration and vital statistics (CRVS) systems in the Pacific requires a diverse set of technical expertise that is not available in any one agency.
