Description: The physical health, mental health, and general well-being of migrants and people on the move, in particular, is a vital issue. Political and social structures must respond to the challenges posed by population movements, including a focus on achieving universal health coverage using the building blocks of health systems. Migrations, particularly within the continent, have always been an important component of African lives. Recent factors such as climate change and population growth contribute to exacerbating this mobility trajectory. Promoting the health of migrants and migration-affected populations is not only essential to enable safe, orderly, and humane migration, but also to ensure that the economic and development benefits of migration are sustainable for both sending and receiving countries. Despite their positive contributions, many international migrants are at greater risk of vulnerable situations that put their own health status at risk. They may be denied access to health services by law, or they are unable to access these services in practice. This webinar will address how migration data can help design and implement more effective health programs for migrants in Africa.
Description: This ministerial roundtable was organized by ESCAP. It took place online on 19 November 2021, from 08:30 to 09:30 hrs, Bangkok time. Overview: The pandemic has caused both tremendous challenges and opportunities for CRVS systems, especially related to deaths, and calls for collective efforts to shape the future landscape of health information and ensure the benefits for sustainable development. The most fundamental question: How many people have actually died from COVID-19 cannot yet be answered in many countries in the region. Indeed, it may take some time before we know the answer and, in some countries, we may never know. In particular, the most vulnerable and marginalized populations – those often most at risk of COVID-19 – may never have their deaths counted. A well-functioning civil registration and vital statistics (CRVS) system is necessary to provide an answer to this question. However, during a public health emergency such as COVID-19, even a well-functioning CRVS system is faced with challenges of backlogs in death registrations and diagnostic uncertainties. Issues for discussion: How can we respond to the ongoing challenges posed by the pandemic while leveraging the spotlight on mortality statistics to ensure sustainable capacity strengthening? What can Governments and the international community do to assist least developed countries in rebuilding through productive transformation of CRVS systems to ensure preparedness for the next health emergency or pandemic?
Description: This warm-up session was organized by Vital Strategies and WHO. It took place online on 17 November 2021, from 08:45 to 09:30 hrs, Bangkok time, before starting Agenda item 3 of the provisional agenda. The session was dedicated to the topic of Agenda item 3 and focused on the health sector and civil registration and vital statistics.
Description: This meeting is an important activity towards the improved coordination between the multitude of international partners involved in CRVS strengthening activities and constitutes one of the strategic objectives of this Strategic Implementation Plan. WHO convenes CRVS partners to discuss complementary, innovative, and cost-effective approaches to CRVS system strengthening in the context of the GPW 13 strategic shift towards “Health in All Policies”.
Description: This side-event was organized by ESCAP. It took place online on 9 November 2021, from 12:00 to 13:30 hrs, Bangkok time. Background: The current pandemic has put mortality statistics at the center of attention. Daily reports of the number of deaths due to COVID-19 have been a critical tool of governance and have played a major role in public debate. This scrutiny has made visible shortcomings in cause of death and overall mortality monitoring that most countries still experience. The true toll of the pandemic and the consequences of these shortcomings in the monitoring tools are still to be measured, but the importance of addressing them so that every death is registered is undeniable. While estimates of the number of births that are not registered globally have been published by UNICEF, the literature on similar estimates for unregistered deaths is limited. Recent debates and studies have mostly focused on COVID-19 related deaths and not on overall death registration. ESCAP has therefore tried to develop an estimate of unregistered deaths for the Asia and the Pacific region. The study conducted based on publicly available data found that 7.8 million deaths were still not registered in 2018 in the region. This important blind spot has detrimental consequences for the current crisis, but also for future ones and for overall public governance. Further identifying where these ‘invisible’ deaths occur and who are the ones not counted is necessary to achieve universal registration. At the midpoint of the Asia and Pacific Civil Registration and Vital Statistics Decade, the results of this study highlight the progresses made both in data availability and in registration completeness, as well as the challenges remaining in those aspects. Scope: This side-event was based on a Stats Brief published by ESCAP. It was independent from the midterm review of the implementation of the Regional Action Framework for CRVS in Asia and the Pacific since it used different data sources for most countries. As a result, it covered all countries in the region, including countries that have not answered the midterm questionnaire on the implementation of the Regional Action Framework.

Description: When used well, civil registration and vital statistics (CRVS) data can add credibility to a narrative and enhance a journalistic story. However, writing articles or preparing other media products based on CRVS data requires knowledge of how a well-functioning CRVS system works, who is responsible for the administration of the systems and the kind of data it can produce. Furthermore, journalists and content producers need to know how to analyze data to articulate trends and patterns while communicating findings clearly and accurately to their audience. As national CRVS systems continue to develop and grow in importance, so does the need for journalists to understand how best to harness the power of data and the role of government institutions in maintaining timely and accurate CRVS systems. As a result, Vital Strategies and United Nations ESCAP will hold a 1-day virtual training session for journalists on 29 October 2021 to learn about CRVS systems, the type of data these systems produce and how to utilize effective data communication strategies, as well as the ‘Get Every One in the Picture’ regional initiative. The virtual training session will utilize Vital Strategies’ e-learning platform and include live, group discussion and activity sessions held over Microsoft Teams before and after the Conference. The training will utilize modules from an e-learning platform developed by Vital Strategies and designed to educate journalists on utilizing public health and CRVS data in their reporting. The training aims to build the data-use skillset of a select group of journalists interested in developing stories based on CRVS data.
Description: The COVID–19 pandemic has exposed long-standing data governance issues such as intellectual property rights, data sharing, reuse and storage. Globally, persistent data gaps and fragmented approaches to governing health data in different contexts are a major roadblock to using data as a Global Public Good. Health data is a strategic asset that requires global cooperation with clear direction in an evolving, fragmented global landscape. This is highlighted in the UN Secretary General’s Data Strategy, World Bank’s 2021 Development Report, 52nd UN Economic and Social Council Statistical Commission and OECD’s Partnership in Statistics (PARIS21). In response, WHO has convened a global summit on health data governance over two half-days. The first summit on 30 June brought together WHO, Member States, partners and the general public to underscore the need for health data as a global public good, the importance of adopting common data principles, and the urgency to institutionalize robust data governance mechanisms across all sectors. This resulted in a draft summit statement which was made available for public comment as well as a Summit Report outlining key takeaways. The second summit on 30 September will present the final summit statement and further advance this dialogue with a focus on three technical tracks: 1. Research data sharing 2. Public health and disease surveillance 3. Data sharing policies: Legal and ethical considerations

Global consultation to optimize Routine Health Information Systems (RHIS) to effectively deliver Universal Health Coverage (UHC) and Primary Health Care (PHC) in countries
Description: The SCORE for Health Data Technical Package (Survey, Count, Optimize, Review, Enable) offers more than 90 tools and standards to assist Member States in strengthening data and health information systems capacity. The SCORE global report, 2020 found that nearly 50% of countries have limited capacity for systematic monitoring of health care and only 4% have sustainable capacity to optimize health service data. The COVID-19 pandemic has underscored these gaps and highlighted the urgency of timely, reliable, disaggregated and actionable data to better prepare, detect, and respond to emergencies and provide high quality essential services. Routine Health Information Systems (RHIS) are an essential source of data to monitor access and quality of health services to improve the performance of PHC and UHC. The Global Consultation will focus on: • The importance, components and applications of Routine Health Information Systems (RHIS) • Data gaps and tools from the SCORE technical package • Sharing best practices and perspectives from countries and partners • Describing the value of integrated data and health information systems with a focus on building sustainable capacity in countries • Promoting better alignment of partnerships and resources to accelerate progress The outcomes of this dialogue will aim to further strengthen RHIS in countries so that when SCORE assessments are repeated in 2025, every country will have a robust health information system which is crucial to track progress towards the GPW 13 “triple billion” targets and health-related SDGs.

Description: The Asia Pacific Forum on Sustainable Development 2021 will in part be dedicated to the in-depths review of SDGs 1, 2, 3, 8, 10, 12, 13, 16 and 17, which include target 16.9 on the provision of legal identity for all, including birth registration, and indicator 17.19.2(b) on the percentage of countries having achieved 100 per cent birth registration and 80 per cent death registration. As part of the forum, this side event is organized to reflect on the progresses made in CRVS systems in the region since 2014 and on the impact the COVID-19 pandemic has had on these systems. Presentations will explore the needs highlighted by the pandemic, especially through legal identity and vital statistics lenses. Individuals need legal identity credentials to access healthcare (including vaccinations), education, economic opportunities, and representation. During the COVID-19 pandemic, this has been further highlighted with national identification systems and vital statistics providing the backbone for distributing support during the crisis and beyond. The event will be moderated by Mr. Jeff Montgomery, Registrar-General and General Manager, Services and Access Department of Internal Affairs New Zealand. The presenters will be: Ms. Kamni Naidu, Administrator-General, Ministry of Justice, Republic of Fiji Mr. Mohammed Shahidul Islam, Deputy Secretary, Cabinet Division, Bangladesh Secretariat, Dhaka Mr. Benuel Lenge, Director, Department of Civil Registry and Vital Statistics, Vanuatu Ms. Nazaria binti Baharudin, Deputy Chief Statistician, Technical Development and Social Office, Department of Statistics Malaysia The event will be held on Thursday 25 March, 12:15-13:45h (Bangkok time, GMT+7, verify your time here). You can register for the event here and join the conversation on MS Teams here. You can find more details, as well as the presentations and recording on the ESCAP website.
Description: This side event, organised in the context of the Asia-Pacific Forum on Sustainable Development 2021, aims to explore how the use of health data is critical to address the indirect effects of COVID-19 on the delivery and use of sexual, reproductive, maternal, newborn, child and adolescent health (SRMNCAH) services in the Asia-Pacific region and the implications on achieving the 2030 Sustainable Development Goal for Health (SDG 3). The COVID-19 pandemic is straining health systems globally. Governments have had to respond quickly to curb the transmission of COVID-19. The consequent disruption of services on already overstretched health systems, and the diversion of resources from essential health services, threaten the progress made so far in achieving the 2030 SDG goal on health. This side event will provide an opportunity to reflect on the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on SRMNCAH services for women newborns, children and young people in the Asia-Pacific region, share good practices and spread awareness on the status of the 2030 agenda for SDG 3. The event will include presentations and discussions by representatives of the Ministries of Health of the Federal Democratic Republic of Nepal and of the People’s Republic of Bangladesh, moderated by the WHO Office for South-East Asia, the UNFPA Regional office for Asia-Pacific and the UNICEF’s South Asia and East Asia and Pacific Regional Offices. The event will be held on Monday 22 March, 11-12h (Bangkok time, GMT+7, verify your time here). You can register for the event here.

Title in Arabic: مؤشرات الصحة ضمن إطار أهداف التنمية المستدامة 2030
Organizer(s): AITRS Arab Development Portal
Description: تأتي هذه السلسلة في ظل أزمة صحية عالمية، أدت إلى ما كان من المفترض أن يكون عقد من العمل على أهداف التنمية المستدامة إلى العمل لمواجهة صدمة اجتماعية واقتصادية. وعلى أثر تفشي هذا الفيروس، فرضت معظم البلدان العربية سلسلة من تدابير الاحتواء، بما في ذلك إغلاق الحدود، وحظر التجول الليلي، كما أغلقت أماكن التجمع من مرافق عامة ومطاعم وأماكن العمل ومدارس وجامعات في محاولة للتصدي لانتشار الفيروس في أنحاء البلاد. ومع استمرار انتشار هذا الوباء، أدت تدابير الاحتواء التي اعتمدتها الحكومات إلى تأثيرات سلبية على النظم الإحصائية الوطنية التي تواجه تحديات غير مسبوقة. فإن الإغلاق الكامل أو الجزئي لأماكن العمل قد أجبر المكاتب الإحصائية الوطنية والمؤسسات الحكومية والوزارات التحول إلى ترتيبات العمل عن بعد، ذلك مع احتمال عدم وجود التجهيزات اللازمة في البيوت من اتصال بالأنترنت للحفاظ على الأنشطة الجارية، خاصة في البلدان التي لديها بنية تحتية ضعيفة لتكنولوجيا المعلومات والاتصالات، والذي يؤدي إلى تأخير في انتاج ونشر الإحصاءات الرسمية والمسوح والتعدادات. لذلك، فتواجه المكاتب الإحصائية الوطنية والوزارات المعنية تحديًا مزدوجًا: توفير الاستمرارية والحفاظ على الحد الأدنى من جودة البيانات مع الاستجابة أيضًا للطلبات الجديدة في ظل أزمة كورونا. تهدف هذه الورشة إلى تعريف المشاركين بمؤشرات الصحة المدرجة ضمن أهداف التنمية المستدامة خاصة ما كان منها تحت الهدف 3: "ضمان تمتّع الجميع بأنماط عيش صحية وبالرفاهية في جميع الأعمار" وأيضاً تحت الأهداف الأخرى لترسيخ النهج العالمي في وضع الصحة في قلب التنمية المستدامة والنظر لمؤشرات الصحة كقياس لتقدم الدول نحو تحقيق أهداف التنمية، وكذلك تعزيز معرفتهم بمفاهيمها وتعريفها وغاياتها ومصادر بياناتها وطرق احتسابها، وسُبل تلبية
Description: In the midst of the current global COVID-19 crisis, there is an unprecedented need for data to not only enable decision makers to inform policies and planning but to also minimize the risk for all especially the vulnerable population groups. For this purpose, timely data disaggregated by age, sex, location and other markers is important to inform decision makers and the general public. From the point of view of the statistical community, are we ready for such a huge challenge? What do we learn from this challenge and experiences? Governments are working together with partners at the national and global level to deal with the current emergency by adapting innovative production methods and processes to ensure collection of critical data at various levels. Daily case information is being collected to provide demographic information disaggregated by various markers. Data collected by National Statistics Offices are also being used to forecast gaps in the required health service resources, such as hospital beds, to respond to the crisis effectively. Also critical is to translate data into actionable, ready-to-use information and insights to benefit decision-makers. Bring experiences from 3 entities working at the forefront of this crisis to provide data support Highlight the challenges and lessons learnt to improve the data collection and provide sufficient empirical data to respond to the pandemic The webinar is part of the UN World Data Forum webinar series that aims to showcase some examples on how national and international organisations are leveraging various techniques and methodologies to provide up-to-date information to decision-makers to mitigate the global COVID-19 crisis. Speakers Moderator: Amanda Glassman, Executive Vice President of CGD, CEO of CGD Europe, and Senior Fellow, Center for Global Development Panelist: Christopher J.L. Murray, MD, DPhil, Institute Director of the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation (IHME), Professor and Chair of Health Metrics Sciences at the University of Washington Panelist: Ramesh Krishnamurthy, PhD, MPH, PHIF, Senior Advisor, Division of Data, Analytics and Delivery for Impact, World Health Organization Presentation Panelist: Frankie Kay, Interim Deputy National Statistician and Director General for Data Capability, Office for National Statistics, UK Presentation Panelist: Wilma Ascano-Guillen, Assistant National Statistician, Social Sector Statistics Service, Sectoral Statistics Office, Philippine Statistics Authority Presentation Speakers' bios
