A delegation of officers from the Births and Deaths Registry, Ghana embarked on a working visit to the residence of the National Chief Imam at Fadama in the Greater Accra Region of Ghana.
The purpose of the visit was to call on the leadership of the Muslim community to actively support the Registry in its efforts to achieve universal birth and death registration in Ghana.
The Chief Imam pledged to support the Registry to deliver its mandate and expressed optimism about the outcome of the collaboration between the two parties.
The Births and Deaths Registry was established by Act 301 of 1965, now replaced by the Registration of Births and Deaths Act, 2020 (Act1027), within the Ministry of Local Government and Rural Development to handle and develop the births and deaths registration system in Ghana.
Its core mandate is to provide accurate, timely and reliable information on all births and deaths accruing within Ghana, through their registration and certification for the socio-economic development of the country.
