Vital Statistics• Clear connection between Civil Registration and Vital Statistics 

• Discrepancies in information between Civil Registries and National Statistical Institutes on under‐registration percentages

Challenges ahead• Standard methodology for measuring the registration of births

• Clear and functional mechanisms of information transfer

• Greater interaction between the authorities of vital statistics and civil registration in subregional forums
