1. Background,
Purpose and Justification
Purpose and Justification
UNICEF
places high priority on the registration of births for all children and
ensuring that all registered children have birth certificates. Timely and
efficient birth registration systems enable governments to know and plan for
children born in a year and thereby plan for all required services that are key
for their development. According to Rwanda’s 2012 Population and Housing
Census, only 67% of children under 5 years are registered; a substantial
variation from the target, considering that Rwanda instituted compulsory and
universal birth registration to ensure every child of Rwanda’s rights to
identity and nationality.

Consistent
with the legal and policy framework of Rwanda, including the Constitution of
Rwanda, Law N°54/2011 of 14/12/2011 Relating to the Rights and the Protection
of the Child and National Integrated Child Rights Policy of 2011, and as part
of the global effort to underscore the importance of birth registration, UNICEF
Rwanda is committed to working with relevant government partners to build
sustainable civil registration and vital statistics systems. Recognising civil
registration as one of the key priorities of the Government of Rwanda (GoR)
through the development and implementation of the 2014-2018 Second National
Strategy for the Development of Statistics (NSDS2), the National Institute of Statistics
of Rwanda (NISR) and other key national stakeholders, including the Ministry of
Health (MoH), the Ministry of Local Government (MINALOC), the Ministry of
Justice (MINIJUST) and the National Identification Agency (NIDA), have
undertaken a national initiative to strengthen and modernise the Civil
Registration and Vital Statistics (CRVS) system in Rwanda and allow the GoR to
obtain comprehensive and, up-to-date statistical data that complement official
statistics from surveys and censuses and support generation of national
policies and programmes that are evidence-based. In particular, NISR in
collaboration with NIDA has developed and introduced a modernised CRVS
web-based application system that facilitates the collection, storage and
production of vital events data from civil registration, including causes of
deaths, through the online notification at health facilities and registration
at sector office. However, despite the efforts to revitalise the national CRVS
system, it is not yet complete and sufficiently reliable for producing regular
and continuous vital statistics on civil registration.

It
is against this background that the GoR in collaboration with UNICEF and other
partners has decided to conduct the CRVS comprehensive assessment and CRVS business
process study in order to review the current system and its operations and
examine strengths and weaknesses to draw lessons learnt and identify ways to
improve the system. This will allow the country to develop specific strategies
and interventions to reform the existing CRVS system into a well-functioning
CRVS system that will enable all vital events occurring in Rwanda to be
registered within the officially allowed time limit and timely reported.

2. Objectives
The
main objective of the assignment is to plan and conduct a comprehensive
assessment, which aims to identify strengths and weaknesses in the current CRVS
system, draw lessons from what has and has not worked, and how improvements
have been made and sustained. The comprehensive assessment will entail (i)
planning and implementation of a baseline study (qualitative research) on
registration and certification of births within the CRVS business process in
Rwanda that will deepen the understanding of the incentives and barriers with
regards to use of CRVS system; (ii) an analysis of the existing CRVS business
processes and regulatory framework, taking into consideration identified
barriers, bottlenecks and incentives, and designing of the most ideal process
maps; and (iii) generating a database (matrix) of on-going interventions and
identifying the potential partners supporting the continuous process of
modernising the CRVS system. The outcome of the assessment will guide the
development, approval and dissemination of a costed CRVS strategic plan that
entails a clear action plan for revamping the CRVS system in Rwanda for greater
efficiencies and more effective outcomes, in terms of coverage and
completeness, outputs and their uses.
