Description

Canada will announce that IDRC will co-host a Centre of Excellence for strengthening CRVS systems. Currently, there is no Centre of Excellence (CoE) that is recognized as a knowledge leader in CRVS. This gap has been identified by CRVS advocates as being a key issue that needs to be addressed, in particular as more countries develop and implement comprehensive CRVS plans that are funded from the GFF. The Centre will contribute to the long term goals of the GFF by supporting developing countries’ efforts to strengthen their CRVS systems through the gathering and sharing evidence, technical expertise, and guidelines from around the world on CRVS. Improving CRVS ensures the sustainability of development results by maximizing the targeted impact of development investments across sectors and in relation to related government of Canadian priorities such as child, early and forced marriage, child protection, gender equality, and good governance.
