In this regard, the State should offer additional assistance to the Dominican-Haitian communities to repair the damage caused by the practice of not registering Dominican children of Haitian origin and implement registration campaigns and other programs; (e) To implement a campaign and a policy to guarantee the right of children to be registered immediately at birth; (f) To accept the presentation of documents identifying the parents other than the identity card, when registering children; (g) To send civil status registrars to register the children in the communities where they live; (h) To reduce birth registration costs; (i) To eliminate the requirement to present birth certificates for school enrolment, as well as all other obstacles that prevent children from exercising their right to education, and (j) To establish a fund to enable the children Dilcia and Violeta to pay for the cost of their schooling together with their living expenses during their studies at the primary, secondary and higher education levels. This fund will allow Dilcia and Violeta to complete their education despite the serious damage caused to their life projects. The State should also pay tutoring expenses to ensure the children attain an appropriate level of education for their age and recover their self-confidence and belief in the possibility of successfully completing their education. Arguments of the State 233.

Moreover, when submitting the answer to the application, it had indicated that Congress was considering a draft law that would facilitate this procedure, setting up birth registration offices in clinics, hospitals, rural health facilities and other community entities to register all those born on Dominican territory.
