The programme moves the points of registration closer to the community. It establishes registration points at health facilities, which provide reproductive and child health services, and at the community ward executive offices in line with the government policy of decentralization through devolution.
This will enable parents in these two regions to easily access more than 780 registration points set up compared to 10 registration points at present. Moreover, there will be more than 1,500 trained Registration Assistants to support the registration process.

The government has waived fee for registration under this programme and the first copy of the certificate is given free of charge. The programme introduces a ‘one step, one visit’ process adapts an innovative way of data collection. Through the use of mobile phone technology data will be instantly transferred and uploaded through SMS, facilitating a real-time tracking of progress.
The decentralized system significantly accelerates birth registration in Tanzania Mainland, after years of stagnation. “We are transforming the system to make it easier for children and their families to access the entitlement of a birth certificate,” said Emmy Hudson Acting Chief Executive Officer of the Registration, Insolvency and Trusteeship Agency (RITA), responsible for the programme. She added that; “Now parents can receive birth certificates from the designated health facilities or through the ward executive offices.
The system has helped thousands of children in the regions where the decentralized system is in operation and we have a plan to replicate this throughout Tanzania Mainland in the shortest possible time.” She further added that, “ the government duly recognizes the contribution of UNICEF, the Government of Canada and TIGO for their commitments to this cause”.
