33. While welcoming the significant progress made by the State party in increasing rates of birth registration, the Committee remains concerned that a large proportion of children are still not registered at birth.<\/p>\n
34. The Committee recommends that the State party:
\n(a) Continue and strengthen its ongoing efforts to raise birth registration levels including through facilitating the birth registration process, raising awareness among parents, increasing resources available to registering authorities and establishing birth registration facilities in hospitals with maternity clinics;
\n(b) Give particular attention to isolated communities, including those on less populated islands.<\/p>\n
