The scarcity of current, complete, and accurate primary data on causes of death in most of sub-Saharan Africa restricts the ability of countries to measure progress against many of the Sustainable Development Goal targets, measure the impact of programmatic interventions, prioritise and plan to address their health needs, and achieve the goals of the Africa Agenda 2063. On Aug 10, 2018, the first African Civil Registration and Vital Statistics (CRVS) Day was celebrated, underscoring the importance of working towards compulsory, universal CRVS systems across the continent. However, progress towards establishing these systems has been slow; even with substantial inputs and political will, universal CRVS will probably take decades to be functional in all countries.

改善非洲决策的生死数据。

撒哈拉以南非洲大部分地区有关死亡原因的最新，完整和准确的主要数据的匮乏，限制了各国根据许多可持续发展目标指标衡量进展情况，衡量计划干预措施的影响，确定优先次序并计划开展以下活动的能力：满足他们的健康需求，并实现2063年非洲议程的目标。2018年8月10日，庆祝了首个非洲民事登记和生命统计（CRVS）日，强调了在整个非洲大陆建立强制性的通用CRVS系统的重要性。但是，建立这些系统的进展缓慢。即使有大量投入和政治意愿，通用CRVS可能也需要数十年才能在所有国家/地区发挥作用。
