Census: What Is the Role of Census Mapping?

Census mapping in Kinshasa is in its eighth day and is expected to expand to the other provinces of the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Organized by the Central Census Bureau, this preparatory phase aims to identify households and buildings and define enumeration areas. Mapping agents are collecting data across the capital’s municipalities, neighborhoods and avenues. On a program hosted by Jody Daniel Nkashama, Professor Pierre Klissou, UNFPA’s principal technical adviser to the census process, discusses how the work is proceeding, its challenges and how residents can contribute.
