Objective of the checklist​

Given the challenges experienced in the 2020 round, this checklist aims to provide a systematic planning approach to guide stakeholders in ensuring that the plan for a digital PHC is coherent, coordinated and focused on efficiently meeting national development priorities, as well as maintaining and reinvigorate momentum for a census undertaking in preparation for the 2030 round. The specific objectives are to:

  • Guide member states on how to prepare for a digital census undertaking.

  • Provide support to the planning process for the 2030 Round.

  • Serve as a checklist for successful census project management.

The checklist provides an outline to clarify the relationships between phases. Given that each phase of the census cycle is dependent on the preceding phase and the quality and timeliness of the output from each phase has a direct effect on the success of the next and subsequent phases.
