Because Everyone Counts: Universal Vital Registration to Leave No one Behind

This virtual side event during the 76th Session of the UN General Assembly marks the first public announcement of the transfer of the Centre of Excellence for CRVS Systems (CoE)—founded in 2015 and hosted to date at the International Development Research Centre—to UNFPA.

The transition underscores a growing partnership between UNFPA, IDRC, Global Affairs Canada and the Global Financing Facility (GFF), to expand the reach of CRVS technical support worldwide. In hosting the CoE, UNFPA will build on the high standards of global leadership and technical cooperation set by IDRC, and aim to extend the reach of the CoE’s expertise, tools, and guidance to a larger number of countries. #UNGA
