Background CRVS stands for Civil Registration and Vital Statistics. Civil Registration (CR) system is used to register and provide Certification on vital events, such as births, deaths (Including Cause of Death), marriages, divorces and Adoption while Vital statistics (VS) are the statistical yield under the civil registration system.  The individual information, in the civil registration records, is assembled in order to create vital statistics for the population. A well-functioning CRVS system aims to: Secure individuals with recognition of their legal identity and ensure rights of access to public services, social protection and human rights; Generate essential statistical information that decision-makers depend on for policy formulation, planning and implementation, and monitoring, and Permit the understanding of the prevalence, distribution and causes of mortality, as well as identify health inequalities and priorities. Currently, the CRVS system in Ethiopia involves several actors. The FDRE Immigration and Citizenship Service (ICS) is responsible for coordination, standardization of procedures and practices, and technical support. The twelve regions and two city administrations of Civil Registration Agencies are responsible for vital events registration and issuing of certification. In addition, there are federal registration organizations such as the Agency for Refugee and Returnee Affairs (ARRA), Ministry of Defense (MoD), Ethiopian Shipping Lines and Ethiopian Missions abroad. The Ministry of Health (MoH) and Regional Health Bureaus (RHBs) are responsible for community and health facility birth notifications. The Ethiopian Statistics Service (ESS) is mandated to produce vital statistics. The current registration system is paper based almost in the whole country and the few available technological solutions varies among regions and all of them are interregnum by design, which are not interoperable each other. Integration of civil registry with other public and private sector systems allow exchange of selected data, verifying individual’s identity, improve public and private service delivery and increase efficiency. The data sharing and transmission is not real time and computerized, there is delay on process of transmitting and sharing the data. Therefore, with a financial assistance from the Italian Agency for Development Cooperation, the Immigration and Citizenship Service requires a well experienced consultant to conduct a baseline study in order to develop a standardized, interoperable, and cost effective smart CRVS Information Systems and Data Centre Design and Planning.

This deliverable will include diagrams, narratives, and recommendations depicting a conceptual, logical and physical IT design for a Tier 4 Data Center. The design should balance security, system administration, budget, high availability, maximized revenue, and redundancy, taking into account the current environment, ICS CRVS requirements, and industry current best practices.  Detailed Design Plan ICS will choose or modify the Conceptual Design Option to be further designed into a Detailed Design Plan. The Detailed Design Plan will include: Modelling & Simulation Electrical/Power Quality Design Mechanical/Cooling Design Architectural & Civil Design Data Center White Space Design Network & Connectivity DesignSecurity & Access Control Design Fire Protection Design NOC & DC Management Design
