UN Technical Meeting on the Use of Technology in Population Censuses 28 Nov. To 01 Dec. 2016 USE OF THE NEW TECHNOLOGY IN MOZAMBIQUE STATISTICAL DATA COLLECTION PREPARING THE 2017 POPULATION AND HOUSING CENSUS By Ar o Mbalate Censsus and Surveys Director Email: arao.balate@ine.gov.mz
Bakground Bakground Keeping in line with decennial census taking programme, the next population and housing census in Mozambique is scheduled to take place in August 2017 The last Census we use the classic metodology for data collection as well for data processing. After the Census 2007 we start preparing the digital data collection for next census using the tablets on the households surveys Starting with the agriculture Census in 2010 and number of the hoseholds surveys like DHS, household budget survey and continuos sarveys (2012 2015).
Decision Decision on on the the methodology methodology for for the the next next Census Census In 2014 the steering committee of the NSS analyse the outcomes of Digital Data Collection using CAPI. Found good improvement on data quality and reduced time for releasing the results. At same time analyse other factors like: 1. Coverage of power/electricity 2. Coverage of internet/Telecoms 3. Number of IT people to handle this technology for large scale 4. And other factors and facilities
Decision Decision on on the the methodology methodology for for the the next next Census Census The conclusion was, no capacity to use the Digital Data Collection for next Census The steering committee recommend to NSO to find an other solution for the next Census. The solution was to use scanners But using scanners the NSO would have the same problem of institutional capacity to handle this technology Outsourcing was considered as a good solution and one Portuguese Company was selected to do all the Data Processing process.
State State of of preparation preparation of of the the next next Census Census 2017 2017 Following the activities defined on the Census Prodoc, in 2015 we conduct the first Pilot Census to test all the equipment for data processing to ensure its function. Conducted the Pilot Census in large scale in October 2016 Conducted the Post Enumeration Pilot Census in November 2016
State State of of preparation preparation of of the the next next Census Census 2017 2017 Now we are busy with mapping which is full digitalized using tablets the same that we are using for the surveys, equipped with GPS
Maping Maping for for Census Census 2017 2017 51 Teams with 51 vehicles total 387 Cartographers envolved.
