Census and survey project management toolkit  

The Census/Survey Project Management Toolkit is an integrated platform designed to assist national statistical offices and other relevant organizations in planning, executing, managing, and assessing census and survey projects. This toolkit provides end-to-end support, covering every stage from initial planning to result dissemination and overall assessment, ensuring that projects are efficiently executed and aligned with statistical guidelines.

Traditional census and survey management often rely on fragmented tools, leading to inefficiencies, delays, and challenges in coordination. The Census/Survey Project Management Toolkit addresses these issues by offering a centralized system that enhances collaboration automates workflows and ensures transparency throughout the census or survey cycle.

This application enables census planners, field officers, and data analysts to manage all aspects of a survey - from questionnaire design to data processing, dissemination, and post-survey evaluation while maintaining methodological consistency with internationally recognized guidelines.

• Provides a secure, role-based access system to ensure only authorized personnel can manage and update project data.
• Allows users to set tasks, assign tasks to project team members, and manage completion status with an interactive dashboard that supports real-time progress tracking.
• Generates automated reports and alerts on project timelines to help teams stay on schedule.
• Facilitates multi-stakeholder collaboration by empowering different teams (statisticians, planners, logistics managers, and policymakers) to coordinate census and survey activities in a single platform, fostering a sense of control and collaboration.
• Provides customizable notification and reminder options to keep teams updated on key milestones, deadlines, and critical issues.
• Includes a built-in Kanban board to visually track project progress and enhance task management efficiency.
• Features pre-built project templates designed based on international census best practices, providing reassurance and ensuring proper structuring of census and survey activities from initial planning to final reporting.
• Allows users to attach supporting documents to tasks and activities, enhancing information sharing and providing necessary evidence for project progress.
• Supports dynamic Gantt charts and timeline visualization to provide a clear overview of project phases and dependencies.
• Audit trails and activity logs are supported for transparency, compliance, and performance review.

The application is currently in development and will be deployed under the official domain (e.g., censusstats.uneca.org). For interim access and testing, contact the relevant department.
