The present manual is targeted primarily at statisticians working in national statistical systems and can be used as resource material for training in gender statistics. The manual should help statisticians (a) to improve the coverage of gender issues in statistics, as well as the quality of statistics, on a wide range of topics; (b) to incorporate a gender perspective into the design of surveys and censuses, by taking into account gender issues and gender bias in measurement; and (c) to improve data analysis and data presentation and to deliver gender statistics in a format that is easy to use by policymakers and planners. The manual may also be useful for data users who wish to be able to interpret statistics correctly and to understand the problems involved in the production of gender statistics and therefore have a more efficient dialogue with data producers.

This report is a step towards better understanding of country practices and difficulties and challenges in maintaining the civil registration system and in collecting and compiling vital statistics. The report can help countries
in the African region to share experiences while in the process of improving their civil registration and vital statistics system, particularly in the context of the Africa Programme on Accelerated Improvement of Civil Registration and Vital Statistics and the Conferences of African Ministers Responsible for Civil Registration.

This Handbook offers background, specifications and practical examples for the improvement and/or establishment of civil registration, vital statistics and identity management systems. It presents model organizational and legal arrangements, as well as ideal descriptions, processes and protocols that are considered the gold standard. Although some national examples are offered, this text is not a technical report describing country practices, but a model to strive to. It aims to encourage countries to undertake long-term self-sustaining programmes of strengthening the management and interoperability of their civil registration, vital statistics and identity systems.
