Recognising the magnitude and complexity of challenges standing in the way of children’s’ rights and their effect on the burden and prevalence of key deprivations in West and Central Africa region, considered alongside the heightened ambitions attached to the sustainable development agenda 2030, necessitate new ways of doing business to accelerate progress, the UNICEF RegionalOffice defined a series of Key Resultsfor Children.
As part of the Mid-Term Review of the Key Results for Children, this multi-country evaluation will review the implementation of initiatives to increase Birth Registration (BR) rates as one of the Key Results for Children (KRCs) in West and Central Africa Region (WCAR) as a basic human right as defined in the Child Rights Convention Art.7 – Right to name and nationality, and Art.8 – Right to identity as a provision and as a means to meet child protection outcomes including the right to basic services. Not only is birth registration a fundamental human right, it also helps ensure that children’s other rights are upheld – like the right to protection from violence, and access to essential social services, health care and justice.
