The manual recording of births and deaths is labor- intensive, and it is not feasible for huge populations that are growing rapidly. Erroneous birth and death registration records have the potential to create a number of difficulties, including the expense of registering a child, the possibility that both the parent and the kid may lose their registration certificate, and inaccurate demographic figures. Birth and death registration became an issue of utmost importance as a result of difficulties encountered while obtaining accurate population statistics. Accurate population statistics are essential in social service planning for any government and in ensuring that adequate resources and budgets are made available to address the needs of the populace. Keywords: birth, death, registration, system. INTRODUCTION In most countries, birth and death are important occurrences that are recorded. While birth and death registration in developed countries is adequate for estimating population fluctuations and planning, the situation in the majority of power countries is dire [1- 5]. According to reports, one (1) out of every three (3) infants out of a total of 40 million births is unregistered [6]. Birth registration is the process of formally documenting a child's birth through a country's official administrative system, which is supervised by a specific government organization [7]. It is the child's permanent and official record of the existence and is crucial to the child's future development. It is also a matter of children's rights and practicalities. Assuring children's citizenship rights enables them to get a passport, establish a bank account, vote, and seek employment. It contributes to the provision of essential services such as immunization, health care, and school enrolment at the proper age. At the moment, millions of Nigerian infants are thought to be unregistered at birth, depriving them of their right to a name and nationality, as well as other basic rights like health care and education. Civil registrations and censuses are used to gather information on the frequency of occurrence of specific and defined vital events, such as births, deaths, marriages, and divorces, such as birth and death, in addition to pertinent aspects about the events themselves and the person or persons concerned" by the United Nations Statistics Division. This definition can be found on the website of the United Nations Statistics Division. Compilation of statistical data, processing of those statistics, interpretation of those results, presentation of those results, and distribution of those results are all included in this process. The Vital Statistics System pulls the majority of its information for its analyses from the civil registration system. The constant gathering of information on any and all major occurrences that take place inside the borders of a country is necessary for the process of civil registration. The documentation of a person's death is one of the most important events that may be recorded in a Civil Registration and Vital Statistics (CRVS) System. The documentation of a person's death lays the legal groundwork for the burial or other disposal of dead individuals. The ability to recover inheritance and insurance claims, the capacity to substantiate a claim of death, and the avoidance of issues with law enforcement agents during the transportation of a corpse are additional benefits of death registration. Problem Statement Nigeria's mortality rate dropped from 13.5 percent in 2007 to 10 percent in 2017 [8]. Between 2008 and 2017, the WHO's database did not have any information for Nigeria. The country received a score of less than 0.1 on the Vital Statistics Performance Index [1-3] for the period under consideration (out of a possible 1 point). Although Nigeria has the highest rate of unreported births in the world, Lagos has a population of over 21 million people, according to the National Population Commission (NPopC). According to RapidSMS.org, a global birth registration database, Lagos has 1,436,986 (31 percent) unregistered under- fives. It is possible that the country's overall poor performance is due to the concurrent constitutional and legal tasks of the National Population Commission, the National Identity Management Commission, and the Local Government Authorities. Aim of the Project The aim of this study is to design and implement a birth and death registration system. Objectives of the Project To achieve this goal, the project will primarily focus on the following objectives: 1. To review the literature on the web-based database to efficiently manage births and deaths processing in Lagos.
