OCTOBER 2022

This topic was the focus of numerous global events throughout the month. First experts reconvened for the third Global Gender and Civil Registration and Vital Statistics conference. Shortly after, statistics in Africa were put into focus at UNECA’s Eighth Meeting of the Statistical Commission of Africa alongside the 6th Conference of African Ministers Responsible for Civil Registration.
