Resources Implementation Partner Programme

Welcome to the OpenCRVS Implementation Partner Programme — an initiative designed to empower organisations to be able to lead and support OpenCRVS implementations at a national scale. The programme sets out a recognised quality standard and helps organisations achieve the required level of skills to ensure the benefits of OpenCRVS are realised and risks are fully mitigated.

Whether you are a system integrator, part of a government digital team, or an institution providing regional capacity, our program is tailored to elevate your expertise and contribute to the success of OpenCRVS implementations worldwide. Join us on this transformative journey, where collaboration, knowledge-sharing, and continuous learning define our commitment to high-quality Civil Registration and Vital Statistics systems.

    1. Skills Building Programme
      A progressive capacity-building initiative enabling organisations to lead or support OpenCRVS implementations at scale.
    2. Accreditation Assessment
      Rigorous testing to ensure organisations possess the skills and expertise to implement OpenCRVS to the required quality standards for a National CRVS system.
