Islamabad: Parliamentary Secretary for Planning Development and Special Initiative Kanwal Shauzab said the development responses in Pakistan could not be managed effectively until they're backed up by universal and responsive civil registration systems. Chairing the Civil Registration and Vital Statistics (CRVS) Stakeholders and Promotional meeting here, she called for the development of uniform and comprehensive national CRVS legislation.

The parliamentary secretary said the CRVS system was key to create a foundation for country administration, fabricating the backbone of inclusive development, supporting social protection, bridging the gap for the most vulnerable; forging opportunities for all segments of the population, and distributing the dividends of increased prosperity fairly across society.

She urged the need to expedite the process and improve coordination mechanisms at the provincial level.
