Background and Purpose:
Gaps in civil registration and legal identity documentation expose people to a heightened risk to become victims of human trafficking. Therefore, the Bali Process on People Smuggling, Trafficking in Persons and Related Transnational Crime (Bali Process) and the UNHCR Regional Bureau for Asia and the Pacific (UNHCR RBAP) have for many years collaborated to promote universal civil registration. They have done so by helping Bali Process Member States to identify, and ultimately to address, inequalities regarding access to civil registration. To this purpose, they jointly engaged in the development of the “Bali Process Civil Registration Assessment Toolkit” and its roll-out through pilot projects in Thailand, Pakistan and Vietnam. By now, the three pilot projects have been concluded and a comparative report on the pilot projects has been produced. Based upon the three assessment reports from the pilot countries and the comparative analysis, the Bali Process Regional Support Office (RSO) and UNHCR RBAP would like to discuss with civil registration experts from the Bali Process Members States the way forward.
Guiding Questions:
- How can the conclusions and recommendation from the pilot projects be put into practice?
- Which national action plans and targets are envisaged?
- Which of the lessons learned can be of use for other Bali Process Member States?
- How can the “Bali Process Civil Registration Assessment Toolkit” further contribute to remove barriers to civil registration that affect marginalized and hard-to-reach population groups, as envisaged not only by Bali Process Member States, but also as the overarching goal of ESCAP’s “Asia and Pacific Civil Registration and Vital Statistics Decade 2015 – 2024”?
