Yaoundé restarts birth registration drive

**Cameroon’s Yaoundé to Restart Birth Registration Campaign in September**

The Cameroonian government announced that it will restart a nationwide birth registration drive in September, targeting one million schoolchildren who currently lack birth certificates. The campaign will use schools as a strategic entry point to reach children who missed registration at birth.

The decision follows an assessment conducted earlier this month, which highlighted the need to address gaps in birth registration among school-aged children. The drive aims to provide official documentation to those children, ensuring they have access to education and other essential services.
