Challenges • Low quality of paper forms (allergies to carbon copie, handwriting, coding…) • not suitable for scanning and ICR • Regionalization of data entry (delay of one region impact publication of national figures) • Inadequate resources (especially with pill up of non processed forms) • Estimated number of forms not yet processed (Birth: 3,000,000, death: 400,000, mariage/Divorce: 3,300,000)
Strategy • Transcript coded information into new forms, suitable for automatic processing via scanning and ICR • Centralize processing of vital statistics forms into the centre of automatic reading of documents • reuse readily available infrastructures and procuders used to process 2014 population census (software, hardware, archiving, BPM) • Carry out processing of paper forms until complete digitalization of Civil registration in Morocco
