The record

Publishing that serves the record

Not every book is a memoir. Some are the documents a country runs on.

For the Civil Registry Department, we edited and published the comprehensive country assessment report on Civil Registration and Vital Statistics Systems (CRVS), together with the Costed Strategic Improvement Plan for the Strengthening of Zimbabwe (2023–2027) — work that demanded the same editorial rigour we bring to any title.
