Farajaland is a fictitious country used to illustrate how OpenCRVS is specifically designed to meet the needs of typical low-resource settings. The OpenCRVS demos are built around the needs of this country, which reflect a variety of real-life contexts from around the world.
Farajaland acts as the default configuration. The OpenCRVS product works "out of the box" so that functionality can be quickly demonstrated and explored, based on the needs of the Farajaland context.
The Farajaland configuration illustrates a number of new service delivery models, which have the potential to strengthen CRVS systems and improve key performance indicators, such as completeness rates, quality of vital events data etc.
