Mapping of Existence and Functionality of Birth Registration Centers in Afghanistan

Agency : UNICEF, Kabul

Birth registration was established in Afghanistan in the 1960s and it is a legal practice as per Article 32 of the Civil Registration Law (CRL). Registering births is the official function of the Vital Statistic Unit (VSU) within the Civil Registration Department of the Ministry of Interior Affairs, but birth registration level was as low as 6 percent (rural 4%; urban 12%). UNICEF Kabul has decided to map the existing birth registration centers and assess functionality in Afghanistan. The study was conducted by both Delhi and Jaipur campuses. Based on the mapping of the centers in 13 UNICEF high priority provinces of Afghanistan, IIHMR Jaipur developed a strategic action plan to increase availability of birth registration services, with a special focus on remote and hard-to- reach areas. The draft of the plan was shared with key stakeholders in a workshop in Kabul. The plan was well accepted.
