Subregional Training on preparations for 2030 population and housing census

The population and housing census is the most comprehensive source of data on the counts and characteristics of a country's population, forming the foundation of national statistical systems. Censuses provide essential social, economic, and demographic information, serving as baseline evidence for planning, developing, implementing, and monitoring policies across various sectors and diverse user needs, including research. They are also a critical source of population data for numerous Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) indicators, aiding in the monitoring of national progress towards achieving related targets.
