According to the Spanish civil code and the civil registration act a child in Equatorial Guinea is registered immediately after birth. The countrys ministry of health requires parents to register all births.

Belonging to a family and a community is a most precious identity. But being registered at birth (Article 7 of the CRC) is recognizing the citizenship of a child, in the region where the growing number of armed conflicts related to nationality and citizenship is becoming an issue.

In Equatorial Guinea Registration is an important issue which has been neglected for too long. Children are excluded from accessing education, medical assistance, social security and are often more vulnerable to child labor, forced conscription, child marriage and trafficking.

However, a child has the right to have a nationality, which can only be obtained following the registration of his or her birth. In Guinea, the system for registering births is not very operational and prevents many children from having an officially recognized identity. Many parents remain unaware of the importance of declaring their childrens status at birth.

Birth Registration: Citizenship is derived from ones parents. The Ministry of Health requires parents to register all births; failure to register a child may result in denial of public services.
A National Committee of Rights of the Child was established in 1997 but its functioning is unfortunately not yet effective and little coordination exists between initiatives taken at different levels.

• Birth registration also contributes to building national statistical data
• Also for national planning process and development plans.
• Being registered opens the door to social services such as education.
