  10. Updated EA Maps will be produced for All municipalities including those of Kathmandu Valley All District Headquarters Urban-headed or densely populated VDCs Completed Cartographic Field work of 12 municipalities &Running Cartographic Field Work of 4 Municipalities Digitizing maps is going on. Major Challenges Lack of Human Resources Lack of Adequate Fund Lack of Logistic Support Uncomfortable mode of program execution Census Mapping (Cartography)

  11. Census Publicity Strategy Paper Effective publicity campaign against the prevailing social, cultural and economic background. Multimedia effort: Radio, Television, SMS, Web, Newspapers, Posters, Pamphlets, and Bulletins, Postal Stamps, Public places campaigning, Alternative media (Gaine), Folk Songs Message from the Head of the Government Observe “Census Day” as a national holiday. Census Publicity

More than 7 million pages of short form and 5 million pages of long form. More than 125 tones of census materials was transported during 2001 Census Materials: Packaging and Dispatch

  13. Feasibility of modern data capturing techniques Coding/Editing (District level Vs. Central) Data entry, coding and editing: contract out to private agencies. Estimated time for data entry: 4-6 months. About 400 micro-computers, 400 coder and data entry operators Verification and tabulation at the CBS. Data Processing

  14. Preliminary results (within 2 months): based on quick count Data dissemination strategy: Hardcopy and Online simultaneously Hard copies, CDs/DVDs, District Census Info and website (Interactive Web Portal). Sample data on public domain Dissemination Workshops, seminars and Training Data Dissemination

  15. Post enumeration surveys conducted since 1981. Considered limited in scope. Not analyzed to the full extent. The PES conducted after 2001 census shows under coverage of 4.5 percent. Post Enumeration Survey (PES)

  16. Strategies for Population Census 2011 (contd.) Census Enumerators and Supervisors Preference to Local People with understanding of local language Local school teachers University graduates (Statistics/Demography) Women Development Officers and other Government Staff including FCHW Fresh recruitment. Improved and Extensive Training/Manuals – 7-10 days of enumerators’ training

  17. Strategies for Census Field Operation Use of Enumeration Area (EA) Maps EA digital maps of 58 municipalities including Kathmandu Valley, District Headquarters and Urban characterized VDCs Capture geographical coordinates of all clusters and each dwelling using GPS Data Dissemination through Web-Mapping, Interactive Maps, Atlas

  18. Producing a series of socio-economic and demographic data that will be A benchmark data for the “New Nepal” Capable of measuring the impact of development activities since 2001 Capacity building (HRD, logistic support) of CBS Adoption of new technologies – OMR/ ICR, GPS, GIS, Interactive web portal Producing digitized EA maps which can be utilized in other statistical surveys and censuses Producing frames for Agriculture Census 2011 and other surveys Population Census 2011- Opportunities

  19. Hunting for huge resources (financial, human, logistic, infrastructure) US $ 24 Million Donors contribution: US$ 14.5 Million (Abt. 60% of the total cost) GoN contribution: US$ 9.5 Million (40% of the total cost) Limited time left (less than two years) Establishment of District Census Offices in Jan 2011 (18 months) Packaging of the census materials in July 2010 (12 months left) Printing of the census forms/manuals in May 2010 (10 months left) Production of EA maps in July 2010 (12 months left) Conduction of Pilot Census in January 2010 (6 mths. left) Challenges Ahead

  20. HRD for the adoption of new technologies OMR/ ICR, GPS, Cartography, Data Analysis and management, timely data dissemination, Interactive web portal Quality Control Recruitment of Census staff Training Field work (Data Collection) Data processing (Particularly in coding/editing, Outsourcing, In sourcing) Data security Ever-increasing data-demand of stakeholders, international agencies and data users (lengthy questionnaires) Data dissemination – Compatibility with the Federal System Challenges AheadContd….
