17. While noting the progress in terms of birth registration coverage, and taking note of target 16.9 of the Sustainable Development Goals on providing legal identity for all, including birth registration, the Committee recommends that the State party:

(c) Launch extensive awareness-raising programmes about the importance of birth registration and the process by which the children are registered;

(d) Ensure birth registration of children born out of wedlock and for those born to adolescent mothers;

(e) Seek technical assistance from UNICEF and the United Nations Population Fund, among others, for the implementation of these recommendations.
