The course of action required to develop an effective CRVS system depends upon the existing country situation, and the availability of national expertise, capacities and resources. In all cases, an understanding of the status and performance of CRVS systems will be needed if progress is to be made. Such an understanding will enable priority actions to be identified and addressed.

In this module, the steps to assessing CRVS systems were introduced. As described, the assessment tools provide a more detailed understanding of the strengths and weaknesses of CRVS systems, and should follow any process mapping activities that are carried out.

An overall roadmap was also presented (refresh your memory).
