In response to the persistent problem of deficient birth registration, NGO-led coalitions in Zimbabwe are seeking to build a strong case for prioritizing universal birth registration. Beside efforts to amplify children's right to birth registration as defined in international rights conventions, these coalitions seek to construct a causal relationship between birth registration and social exclusion outcomes. The idea that the absence of birth registration intensifies social exclusion for children has become something of a mantra in birth registration activism, but despite the surveys conducted in Zimbabwe and other developing countries, data to demonstrate the dynamic interplay of birth registration and social exclusion are lacking. In this article I illustrate that qualitative research can bridge this gap and strengthen birth registration activism.... view less

Von NGOs geführte Koalitionen in Zimbabwe engagieren sich für eine deutliche Verbesserung der kontinuierlich defizitären Geburtenregistrierung. Neben dem Insistieren auf dem in internationalen Konventionen zugesicherten Recht wird hierzu eine kausale Beziehung zwischen Geburtenregistrierung einerseits und sozialer Exklusion bzw. Inklusion andererseits betont. Die Idee, eine fehlende Registrierung intensiviere soziale Exklusion ist zu einer Art Mantra der Aktivist/innen geworden, ihr fehlt aber eine empirische Fundierung: Trotz Surveys, die in Zimbabwe und anderen Entwicklungsländern erhoben werden, fehlen Erhebungen, die das dynamische Zusammenspiel von Geburtenregistrierung und Exklusion/Inklusion nachzuvollziehen erlauben würden. In diesem Beitrag versuche ich zu zeigen, in welcher Weise qualitative Sozialforschung helfen kann, diese Lücke zu schließen und die Aktivitäten in Richtung einer umfassenden Geburtenregistrierung zu stützen.... view less
