The Rwanda Vital Statistics Report 2019 report is produced based on data collected in 2019 to showcase the progress made by the country in improving civil registration and vital statistics (CRVS) system and to assess the level of implementation of the CRVS strategic plan elaborated in 2017. It is therefore a useful tool to inform related policies and decisions and guide strategic interventions aimed at boosting implementation of the strategic plan. It is the Rwanda’s first vital statistics report, which is expected to be a benchmark for the following reports and a reference source for future publications within the same scope.
