Background

The Pacific CRVS Partner Collaboration (previously known as the Brisbane Accord Group or BAG) is a consortium of agencies with a principal aim of coordinating partner support and maximising investments made towards supporting the improvement of civil registration and vital statistics (CRVS) systems in Pacific Island countries and territories (PICTs). Technical assistance by the Collaboration has been coordinated through the Action Plan for Pacific CRVS (2023–2026)[1] and previously through the Pacific Vital Statistics Action Plan (PVSAP) which sat under the Ten-Year Pacific Statistic Strategy (TYPSS) 2011–2020.[2]

The Collaboration has adopted five priorities:

  1. Strong CRVS systems and processes.
  2. Digital civil registration systems and records
  3. Inclusive and responsive civil registration systems
  4. Cause of death certification and coding
  5. Data analysis, reporting, dissemination and use for policy and planning
