Dear Residents,

Success of the census depends on a host of technical and technological factors, but mostly on your cooperation with the census staff by providing complete and accurate data.

Since Census is a form of national undertaking, it involves everyone in the country and, through its statistical results, serves everyone in the country. The increasing complexity of modern life means a greater need to plan housing, schools, roads, transportation and a vast range of social and economic requirements for the nation. This cannot be done without a regular detailed count of the population.

It is therefore urged that correct and accurate responses to Census questions be made readily available at the households and the establishments for providing the census staff with these answers when they visit. It might be prudent to make sure that dates of births, educational attainment, employment and occupations of all members of the household, including domestic workers, be made readily available to census enumerators.

Please be assured of the utmost confidentiality of your personal information and that of the establishments. Census results will be made available at the aggregate level for statistical purposes. Census and all other statistical data collected are governed by the confidentiality clause of the Statistical Act issued by the Royal Decree number (29/2001).
