L’Union des Comores s’est engagée dans une réforme ambitieuse de son système d’état civil en adhérant au Programme Africain d’Amélioration de l’Enregistrement des faits d’État civil et des Statistiques Vitales (APAI-CRVS), initiative continentale de référence pour l’enregistrement des faits d’état civil et la production de statistiques vitales. Cette adhésion traduit la volonté politique du pays de disposer d’un système moderne, fiable et inclusif, garant de l’identité légale, de la citoyenneté et d’une gouvernance fondée sur des données probantes. Consciente des défis persistants — notamment la faible couverture des enregistrements des mariages et décès, la fragmentation des pratiques, l’insuffisance des capacités institutionnelles et l’absence d’un système numérique intégré — l’Union des Comores a validé en 2024 un Plan stratégique de modernisation de l’état civil 2024–2028, aligné sur les orientations de la stratégie nationale « Comores Numérique 2028 ». Ce plan structurel, évalué à environ 10 millions d’euros, constitue la feuille de route pour la transformation globale du secteur.

Le/la consultant(e) international(e) sera chargé(e) d’appuyer le Gouvernement de l’Union des Comores et l’UNICEF dans l’élaboration d’une stratégie de mobilisation des ressources et l’organisation d’une conférence des bailleurs, afin de financer le Plan stratégique de modernisation de l’état civil 2024–2028.
