Experts Group Meeting on Supporting Electronic Data Collection and Dissemination in Censuses
 

Population and housing censuses provide fundamental information for monitoring the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and Agenda 2063 on a wide range of statistical areas related to population and housing allowing disaggregation by small geographic areas and small population groups.  As population and housing censuses are a fundamental source for producing small area statistics, timely dissemination of good quality census data is crucial for monitoring the SDG indicators. 

Population and housing censuses are one of the most complex and costly statistical operations due to the involvement of a huge number of field workers, requiring a long time for preparation and post-enumeration activities. Therefore, there is a continuous effort for using alternative approaches and technologies to improve data quality, timeliness and dissemination of census results while considering increasing costs of carrying out the census. 

In this context, ECA is proposing an Expert Group meeting on using new technology to strengthen the capacity of national statistical offices for improving data quality and timely dissemination of census results.  The meeting will enable countries to have a better understanding of the challenges and benefits of adopting new technologies through sharing experiences of other countries and agencies who have utilized or plan to utilize new technologies.
