Description
This project aims to protect the rights of children in the Democratic Republic of Congo by increasing the rate of birth registration for boys and girls under 5 years old and increasing the number of children who have a valid birth certificate. It also aims to improve government systems and processes for birth registration and certification to make them more accessible, particularly for vulnerable girls and boys. The project aims to ensure that 3.5 million children born in a health facility in target areas and an additional 60,000 children from vulnerable groups are registered and receive birth certificates.
