CRVS Strategies works with clients to identify the support that best meets the intended outcome. Services include but are not limited to:
- Serving as a technical advisor in CRVS system assessment and intervention implementation, i.e. reviewing a country’s medico-legal death investigation system and its connection to CRVS systems through a legal review; assessing the death registration and cause of death reporting process through the application of business process mapping; drafting an analysis of civil registration inequality assessments across ten countries; and supporting the expansion of community-level pregnancy follow-up to include stillbirth reporting.
- Educating CRVS stakeholders, technical experts, and program officers (governmental and non-governmental) on global best practices, intervention approaches, advocacy strategies, and considerations to mitigate challenges, with a specific focus on improving the quality of cause of death data through medical certification of cause of death (MCCD) and mortality coding improvement interventions, and strengthening system connections between medico-legal death investigation and CRVS systems for improved system functioning and cause of death data quality.
- Developing educational content (pocket cards, instruction manuals, short informational videos, and e-learning courses) for doctors in medically certifying causes of death following World Health Organization standards.
- Advising development agencies in strategic approaches to engage with country stakeholders, assess CRVS systems (legal framework, processes, data quality and dissemination), and design interventions based on human and financial resources and country collaboration.
