Identification (CRVSID) Management system.
The workshop, held on February 13, 2025,
marked the culmination of a series of workshops conducted during the firm's
first planned mission from February 9th to 13th, 2025. Project Manager Dr.

project, emphasizing the key digital outputs and the current digital
development mechanisms within the CRVSID ecosystem in the Maldives.

Judicial Administration, the Civil Court, the Family Court, the Ministry of
Health, the Maldives Bureau of Statistics, Indira Gandhi Memorial Hospital, the
Local Government Authority, and Male City Council also participated in the

the workshop in addition to the organisations consulted one-on-one. These

death data into the current CRVSID system.
Along with government organizations and the private
sector, representatives from international organizations such as UNFPA and
UNICEF participated in the workshop. Both organizations are part of the
Maldives CRVSID steering committee. The Ministry of Social and Family
