Municipal Committees for the Eradication of Underreported Civil Birth Registrations
The Municipal Committees for the Eradication of Underreported Civil Birth Registrations? main goal is to ensure that the entire population owns a birth certificate. This initiative is contained within the National Commitment to the Eradication of Underreported Civil Birth Registrations and Wider Access to Basic Documentation, launched in 2007, and is convened by the Special Secretariat of Human Rights of the Presidency of the Republic. Each managing committee has the mission to schedule meetings to prepare or update municipal plans. It is expected that the committees, at the very least: organize the Plan for the Registration of Birth and coordinate permanent actions to eradicate the underreporting of live births in three years and ensure the registration of birth to every child born alive before completing 90 days; carry out activities to identify the non-registered population and map their locations; organize intensive, systematic and permanent actions to universalize civil birth registrations, with an emphasis on priority population groups that require special strategies. These groups include traditional communities, indigenous peoples, quilombolas, gypsies, riverside population, rural workers, low-income population, homeless population, recyclable material collectors, non-registered patients in long-term care institutions (mental health and elderly) and non-registered children in shelters. The priority areas are the Legal Amazon and cities and/or locations with an underreporting of birth equal or higher than 25%.
Institutional design
Formalization: is the innovation embedded in the constitution or legislation, in an administrative act, or not formalized at all?
Frequency: how often does the innovation take place: only once, sporadically, or is it permanent or regular?
Mode of Selection of Participants: is the innovation open to all participants, access is restricted to some kind of condition, or both methods apply?
Type of participants: those who participate are individual citizens, civil society organizations, private stakeholders or a combination of those?
Decisiveness: does the innovation takes binding, non-binding or no decision at all?
Co-governance: is there involvement of the government in the process or not?
