Births and Deaths Ag. Registrar Signs MoU to Strengthen Collaboration on National Statistics

ACCRA, March 12, 2026— The Ag. Registrar of the Births and Deaths Registry, Mr. Samuel Adom Botchway, participated in a joint signing ceremony for a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) and received confirmation from the Office of the Chief of Staff on Thursday, March 12, 2026, in Accra.

The ceremony, organized by the Ghana Statistical Service—the institution mandated to report on data generated by Metropolitan, Municipal, and District Assemblies (MMDAs)—marks a significant milestone in ongoing efforts to deepen collaboration across Ministries, Departments, and Agencies (MDAs). The MoU reinforces a shared commitment to producing high-quality, harmonized, and timely official statistics for national development.

Speaking after the signing, Mr. Botchway noted that improved inter-agency data sharing and coordination are critical to strengthening civil registration systems and ensuring that vital statistics directly inform policy, planning, and service delivery nationwide.

The agreement is expected to streamline data exchange between the Births and Deaths Registry and partner institutions, reduce duplication, and improve the accuracy and availability of demographic data for government and development partners.
