Mapping exercise nears completion ahead of national census – UBOS
The Uganda Bureau of Statistics (UBOS) announced it is nearing completion of the mapping exercise in preparation for the National Population and Housing Census.
According to the Bureau’s Executive Director, Dr. Chris Mukiza, 97.6% of areas across the country have already been mapped.
Dr. Mukiza has issued a directive to all district representatives, urging them to finalize the remaining mapping within one week to ensure they meet the deadline.
In the meantime, Dr. Mukiza confirmed that all tablets required for the census have arrived in the country and training for enumerators is underway.
The Bureau commenced a nine-day training of national trainers from all districts of Uganda and cities ahead of the May census.
In the training, each district/city has been represented by three people, including District Census Officers, their assistants, and ICT experts.
These have been joined by UBOS staff, and others from participating Ministries, Departments, and Agencies.
