INDIVIDUAL CONSULTANT: For strengthening Civil Registration and Vital Statistics (CRVS) data system
Purpose of consultancy:
Digital information, i.e. data and statistics, are necessary tools for diagnosing and understanding population situations, trends and changes, and informing decisions and policies, following them, evaluating their outputs, performance and reform. Within this context comes this proposed project/activity. The United Nation Population Fund, Jordan office has a long history of supporting the capacity of Jordanian institutions in order to enhance their performance in responding to the needs of administrative data related to population and development issues, including the fact that the UNFPA has previously provided technical support to the Civil Status and Passport Department, CSPD, to enhance the completeness and quality of civil registration data and vital statistics in order to support the decision making process and evaluation.
Years ago, UNFPA supported activities to build the capacity of a number of Civil Status and Passports Department(CSPD) cadres in the analysis and dissemination of data related to the management, advocacy and follow-up of population and reproductive health programmes in Jordan, but the need to continue these efforts remains to enhance the skills of the new cadres who have newly joined the Department in assessing the data available in the Department's databases, as well as subjecting them to statistical analysis and demographic analysis to come up with statistics that can measure a number of indicators that serve decision makers and policy makers and that will enhance the process of monitoring the implementation of the Sustainable Development Goals and the Global Agenda 2030.
Previously, the Fund has organized and/or supported meetings and workshops for all parties producing and using data related to administrative civil records and vital statistics in Jordan, in order to discuss ways to increase the completion of this data and raise its quality, reliability and issuance at specified times to be used by all parties that need it. Data experts currently recommend special attention to all data sources, not only population censuses.
