Registration of vital events such as births deaths and migration and other events like marriages in most developing countries is woefully inadequate, even though there are established institutions such as the births and deaths registry departments, the immigration service to deal with international migration and the courts for marital registration. In the DSS sites, births, deaths and marriage registration is near complete. To help the national registries, the DSS data can be linked to the national data at the district level. Sites should educate and encourage members of their community to register all vital events with the appropriate department. Sites could help in facilitating the registration process. For example, in Navrongo and Kintampo, the DSS facilitates the registration of births. This can be extended to other events where possible and the data should be linked to that of the registry. The main problem of national registries is the lack of computerization, but since they have unique identifier for each of their documents, DSS sites can make use of such identifiers until registries are adequately resourced to deliver these essential services.
