Demographic Resilience Programme for Europe & Central Asia

This brochure provides an overview of UNFPA’s Demographic Resilience Programme, which aims to strengthen the capacity of countries in Europe and Central Asia to respond to the profound demographic shifts the region is experiencing. Many countries in the region are grappling with how to respond to demographic trends like low fertility, population ageing and outmigration and their effects on the economy, social systems and services. With this new programme UNFPA offers a wide range of tools that help address population dynamics in a holistic manner, enabling countries to mitigate negative effects and fully harness the opportunities that come with demographic change.

Project card: Improve the availability of administrative data for tracking the progress of the ICPD agenda in the context of SDGs

This project will transform the national statistical system towards a registerbased data and will contribute to the tracking and achievement of several national SDGs.

As the experience of developed countries shows, that builds their statistical system based on register-based data, an interoperability platform for the exchange of administrative data increases the timeliness, reduce the costs, and provides more accurate and detailed estimates for various sub-population, including vulnerable groups. The statistical population register will be a cornerstone for the preparation of the upcoming Population and Housing Census in the 2020 Global Round and, in long term, will support the National Bureau of Statistics in moving from traditional census to register-based census.
