Lack of investment in Civil Registration and Vital Statistics has been called one of the most important shortfalls in global development over the last 30 years, and the results are devastating.
Tens of millions without identity and rights. Governments flying blind.

This episode features a recording of our recent CRVS roundtable event, where you'll hear from leading experts engaged in the life-changing work of making millions of invisible people visible.
The event was moderated by Femi Oke, international journalist and broadcaster, with speakers including:
