RB launches 2010 census

President Rupiah Banda has officially launched the 2010 Census of population and housing, with a call to citizens to fully cooperate with enumerators.

President Banda said the information to be collected from the Census will be used for planning and decision making, in order to take development to all the people.

Mr Banda said government would have to relate population growth to economic growth to effectively reduce poverty and provide sufficient social and economic resources.

Speaking during the launch at State House Friday evening, the President said government will also use the information to address the acute shortage of housing units in the country.

He said this would in turn reduce on overcrowding being experienced in compounds and cities.

Mr Banda emphasised that accurate information would enable government to develop all sectors of the economy.

The 2010 census is being conducted under the theme ‘ Help the census, help you be counted.’

The government allocated 98 billion Kwacha for the exercise in the 2010 budget.

About 5 thousand enumerators have been trained for the exercise.
