Statistical Service likely to change date for 2020 census

The Ghana Statistical Service (GSS) has stated that Ghana’s forthcoming 6th post independence population and housing census, which was originally scheduled for March 2020 is likely to be moved forward by a couple of months.
According to the GSS, the date is being anticipated following observations from the completed field census mapping exercise, which has engendered the need to redesign technological interventions required for complete coverage, enhanced accuracy and timely release of the census results.
In a statement by the GSS, signed by the Deputy Government Statistician, David Yenukwa Kombat, the GSS urged its stakeholders, media and the general public to maintain positive engagement and participation in the preparation and implementation of the 2020 census activities, including sharing of the right information.
Meanwhile, the GSS said it will communicate the new census date to the public once it is approved by the National Census Steering Committee.
