Strengthening civil registration and ID systems for inclusive development

Forsingdal Consulting provides expert advisory, technical assistance,
and strategic guidance on Civil Registration, Vital Statistics (CRVS),
and Identity systems. I support governments and development
partners design, implement, and modernize interoperable, rights-based
identity ecosystems aligned with international standards.

Forsingdal Consulting

With over 15 years of global experience, Forsingdal Consulting supports national and regional CRVS and ID reform initiatives across Africa, Asia, and the Caribbean. My work bridges the technical, legal, and administrative dimensions of identity systems — from policy frameworks and system design to implementation and evaluation. I work for and with global institutions including the World Bank, ID4D, GFF, UNECA, UNHCR, and UNICEF to advance legal identity for all and strengthen foundational registries that empower people and enable sustainable development. Prior to setting up Forsingdal Consulting, I worked for the Centre of Excellence for CRVS, housed by IDRC in Canada, and the Ministry of Home Affairs and Immigration in Namibia.
