Description *
Digital Birth Registration" (DBR) is Telenor Pakistan's flagship Sustainability project in collaboration with UNICEF and has been designed to augment the births registration rate in Pakistan which happens to be one of the lowest in the world. DBR provides the fundamental right of identity to thousands of children across Pakistan. In 2015, DBR was piloted in 3 villages in Pakistan where the birth registration rate increased by 206%. The promising results of the pilot has enabled us to scale up the project in 2017 to 800 union councils (villages) in 9 priority districts of under the same tripartite partnership. In South Punjab: Pakpatan, Rahim Yar Khan, Muzaffargarh, Bahawalpur, Rajunpur, Multan & in Sindh: Thatta, Badin, Nushero Feroz.
