The document summarizes Sudan's civil registration and vital statistics (CRVS) system. It describes Sudan's population and the government agencies responsible for registration and vital events. In the past, CRVS efforts lacked coordination and strategic planning, resulting in low registration rates. However, since 2012 the government has prioritized and invested in CRVS, establishing coordination mechanisms and assessing the system to inform a new strategy. Key lessons are the importance of stakeholder coordination, early involvement, and engaging communities to strengthen the CRVS system.
