Hi 👋 , my name is Thierry, and I’m the Impact Expansion Lead at OpenCRVS.

I represent all countries 🌍 that are interested in strengthening their civil registration systems.
One thing I hope to gain from being part of the Collective is to help establish it as the go-to community for civil registration—supporting countries in enhancing and scaling their local systems and processes. 💪🌟
