WHO Director-General, Dr. Margaret Chan, announced on 1 February 2016 a Public Health Emergency of International Concern regarding the increase in neurological disorders and neonatal malformations.

Between 1 January 2007 and 3 March 2016, a total of 52 countries and territories have reported autochthonous (local) transmission or indication of transmission of Zika virus (41 since 1 January 2015).

Assignment Tasks

TERMINOS DE REFERENCIA

Consultoría Propuesta de un sistema de registro desde el nacimiento para acceso a servicios sociales

Antecedentes

Sobre el registro de personas de 0 a 18 años

De acuerdo con datos oficiales, en El Salvador el 98.5% de los recién nacidos cuenta con registro de nacimiento, el cual es extendido por las municipalidades del país. Este es el proceso que popularmente se le conoce como «asentamiento» de un recién nacido, por el cual las alcaldías extienden una partida de nacimiento.

La partida de nacimiento es el documento que identifica a un recién nacido. Es también el documento que, además de señalar quiénes son los padres biológicos y otras informaciones relativas al lugar y fecha de nacimiento, sirve para identificar a esta persona hasta que alcanza la mayoría de edad y cuenta con el documento único de identidad (DUI).

A la partida de nacimiento se suman registros administrativos que llevan algunas instituciones del Estado que proveen servicios públicos. Dentro de estas instituciones destacan el Ministerio de Salud con los registros de salud de pacientes y el Ministerio de Educación con el registro de alumnos que se matriculan cada año lectivo. Además de los Ministerios, existe una tercera fuente de información sobre personas, que ha sido sistematizada a partir de los beneficiarios de los programas sociales que abarca población de aproximadamente 76 municipios: el Registro Único de Personas (RUP). Si bien los registros son de instituciones públicas, la información no está en un repositorio único y los identificadores utilizados siguen directrices diferentes. En otras palabras, no existe un registro único desde el nacimiento hasta la etapa adulta.

Sobre la institución nacional a cargo del Registro de Personas y proyectos vinculados al registro desde el nacimiento

El Registro Nacional de las Personas Naturales (RNPN) es una entidad de derecho público, con autonomía en lo técnico y en lo administrativo que para efectos presupuestarios se encuentra adscrito al Tribunal Supremo Electoral. Su competencia abarca todo el territorio nacional en materia de Registro del Estado Familiar, e identificación ciudadana.

UNICEF, OEA y BID establecieron una alianza regional en el 2006 para promover el registro de nacimiento como instrumento para combatir la exclusión económica, política y social. Desde entonces ha habido avances significativos en la región, que han sido analizados en las tres reuniones regionales sobre registro de nacimiento que han tenido lugar en Paraguay, Panamá y México.

En el año 2004, el Comité de los Derechos del Niño de las Naciones Unidas, recomendó al Estado Salvadoreño que realice acciones para que todos los niños y niñas salvadoreñas posean una identidad eliminando obstáculos existentes.

Dando respuesta a la Observación del Comité el RNPN inicia desde el año 2008, y en concordancia con el marco legal existente (LEPINA), el Registro Civil Hospitalario como un proyecto que toma fuerza dentro del proceso institucional, el cual, es parte de la estrategia del Programa de Universalización de la Identidad Civil en las Américas (PUICA), para alcanzar las metas establecidas en el «Programa Interamericano para el Registro Civil Universal y Derecho a la Identidad», aprobado por los Estados miembros de la Organización de los Estados Americanos, OEA, en la Asamblea General de 2008. Así mismo, es una de las iniciativas apoyadas por la Agencia Española de Cooperación Internacional para el Desarrollo (AECID) para contribuir al fortalecimiento de los registros civiles de la región.

Es así como se constituyó la Unidad de Registro Hospitalario, que tiene como principales objetivos:

Prevenir el incremento de sub-registro a nivel nacional, mediante las actividades realizadas en doce centros Hospitalarios de la Red Nacional.

Incrementar la seguridad jurídica de los recién nacidos.

Facilitar la inscripción de nacimiento inmediato, de los nacidos en los hospitales nacionales, a través de un sistema de Registro Hospitalario.

Garantizar la inscripción conforme a derecho de los niños y niñas recién nacidos que ocurren en estos centros.

Fruto de este esfuerzo se han establecido acuerdos y mecanismos para que los registros hospitalarios sean entregados a las alcaldías correspondientes por medio de actas de entrega, en un plazo no mayor a 10 días contados a partir de la fecha de la captura de información. Lo anterior ha permitido disponer anualmente de la información y centralización de los registros de nacimientos y controles de calidad.

Asimismo, en el marco de la Ley Especial de Creación del Régimen de Identificación Migratorio y Aduanero, el RNPN ha puesto en marcha un proceso de identificación de personas adultas, adolescentes y menores de edad residentes en los bolsones geográficos a raíz de la demarcación limítrofe entre Honduras y El Salvador. Esta es una experiencia que puede servir para tomar lecciones aprendidas del proceso.

Hacia un registro desde el nacimiento: identidad, identificación y herramienta para la política social

A pesar de los avances en materia de registro, existe una tarea pendiente: construir un sistema de registro único desde el nacimiento que permita, además de dar identidad y servir como identificación a una persona, que permita darle seguimiento en el trayecto de vida, identificando necesidades que pueden ser cubiertas desde los servicios sociales públicos. En otras palabras, que sea una herramienta que contribuya a la planificación de servicios públicos de la política social y a la dosificación de estos en el territorio, según las necesidades de la población. Dicho sistema integral basado en el registro de nacimiento debe de articularse con el documento existente para la etapa adulta (DUI).

Justificación

Para desarrollar un estudio de esta naturaleza y alcance, se requiere la contratación de una consultoría a cargo de un especialista o equipo cuyo conocimiento sea diverso y cuente con la capacidad de desarrollar una propuesta de registros para el país.

Además de sistematizar el conocimiento generado en el país acerca de esta temática, es indispensable poner en marcha una revisión de casos pioneros internacionales de registro y su uso para efectos de la política social, de manera que se puedan identificar lecciones para El Salvador. Asimismo, una parte fundamental del proceso consiste en analizar el estado actual, oportunidades y retos para implementar el sistema de registro, considerando múltiples dimensiones (legal, institucional, política, técnica, entre otras).

El país cuenta con diferentes estudios y experiencias sobre registro de personas. Sin embargo, este conocimiento se encuentra fragmentado. Para desarrollar una propuesta para discusión e implementación en el país, se requiere una consultoría que en primera instancia sistematice el conocimiento alrededor del tema: los estudios anteriores sobre registros en el país y sus principales hallazgos en relación al registro desde el nacimiento.

El registro universal desde el nacimiento es una herramienta fundamental para proteger derechos de niños, niñas y adolescentes así como para la planificación y provisión de programas sociales de manera eficiente.

Objetivos específicos

Esta consultoría tiene por objetivo apoyar en la construcción de una propuesta sobre el registro desde el nacimiento para contribuir a asegurar el ejercicio de los derechos de identidad y de identificación, así como el acceso a la oferta pública social. Los objetivos específicos son:

Identificar problemas y requerimientos que intervienen en la implementación del documento único de identidad desde el nacimiento que incluya el análisis del proceso para la obtención de la partida de nacimiento, tiempos, costos (para las familias y las municipalidades) así como lo que representan en ingresos para las municipalidades.

Desarrollar y validar una propuesta de implementación del registro único de las personas desde su nacimiento a través de la discusión y consulta con el equipo técnico, instituciones gubernamentales (nacionales y locales) y posibles beneficiarios. La propuesta deberá considerar la inclusión de dicho número de identificación en las bases de datos existentes del Registro Nacional de las Personas Naturales, sin generar saltos en la numeración.
