The minimum criteria are specified in annex IV to the strategic plan.
Calculation based on country self-assessment through the Africa Programme monitoring conducted in 2016/17. The number includes only the countries that submitted the
filled monitoring forms to the Africa Programme secretariat (i.e., 39 countries responded as part of the 2016/2017 monitoring exercise).

Expected progress is defined as moving at least one category up in a classification: 1 (Less than 30 per cent); 2 (30-60 per cent); 3 (60-90 per cent); And 4 (90 per cent or
more, for birth and death separately, within five years). Countries that already achieved the registration rate of more than 90 per cent are counted in the baseline column and are
expected to maintain their rates. Baseline rates are based on the 2016-17 Africa Programme monitoring form and additional data sources. More details are included in annex
VII to the strategic plan.
