
Vital events in Mozambique are mandatory and are
deadlines for registration. In the case of the birth
registration deadline is 120 days and death 48 hours with
expansion to 90 days. As can be seen by analyzing the
articles, sanctions by the statement after the deadline laid
down by Law, embody in allocating the costs of registration
to the person who should be responsible for the event
declaration.
. Different in nature reasons dictate not register within the
period established by Law (120 days), specifically: the
distance, cost, lack of knowledge about the importance of
registration and cultural factors.
In view of this evidence a number of actions have been taken
to broaden the base of log data, objectifying ensure greater
coverage of civil registration services on the entire country.
OPERACIONAL
PLAN

Activities will be conducted which can be summarized in the recovery and
digitization of information and, linked to this activity, intended to be
developed a digital system of civil registration data management and vital
statistics; expanding coverage not only in terms of increasing the number
of registrars and civil registration posts as well as through the use of SMS
as a means of notification; and strengthening the capacity of institutions
dealing with vital data in terms of personnel and infrastructure including
equipment.
2.Promote the integration of databases and generate vital statistics;
The information produced is not integrated and the institutions
involved, particularly the Ministry of Justice, the Ministry of Health
and the National Institute of Statistics operate in isolation. In the
case of institutions that deal with vital data is necessary that the
information produced is integrated in a database and that in turn
would enable generate and disseminate reliable and credible vital
statistics.
Reform legislation and sensitize stakeholders on the
importance of RCEV;
Achieving this objective will be achieved through the review
and harmonization of legislation on civil registration and vital
statistics as well as inform and educate stakeholders including
the public about its importance. The first intervention result
that existing laws on civil registration and vital statistics did
not include the use of ICT (Information and Communication
Technologies) as a means of recording and sharing of data
(based on the registration paper) and as such does not
provide standards on the regulation.
