FOREWORD
Nigeria conducted a Population Census in 1991 and the data derived from the Census had been widely
disseminated in various publications. In line with the United Nations’ recommendations on decennial
Censuses, a Census of Population and Housing in Nigeria is scheduled for next year, 2005. I am glad
to present to you in this publication, the strategies and plans of the Federal Government of Nigeria
(represented by the National Population Commission) for the execution of the 2005 census project.

It is expected that once this census is undertaken, it would have firmly established the tradition of
decennial censuses in the country. It will also hopefully generate good quality data, covering more
demographic and socio-economic indicators than Census ’91 and provide users with relevant data for
planning, decision-making and evaluation of various intervention programmes.

A Census is an expensive exercise requiring commitment of enormous resources. As an emerging


nation, Nigerian government alone cannot shoulder all the expenses to be incurred in the activities
connected with the next Census. Support is therefore needed from International Donors, the Nigerian
organized private sector and individuals to undertake this exercise.

This report discusses work plans and activities proposed to be carried out between January, 2004 to
December 2007, when actual enumeration would have been undertaken, results released and
analytical and other reports published and disseminated. It discusses strategies and plans and
identifies components/activities, which could be donor supported. It is written in a standard project
implementation format referred to as the logical framework. The report begins by determining
“outputs” whose achievement would lead to the attainment of the purposes (the purposes range from
short to medium term results expected from the census project). A set of related activities are
identified, which if carried out will lead to the delivery of the stated outputs. The activities, outputs
and purposes are logically linked, such that the achievement of one will contribute to the attainment of
the other within the project. The Document also contains Monitoring and Evaluation (M&E) plan and
the Census Budget with a detailed justification of expenditure in the Appendices.

Finally there is a GANTS Chart and a work plan showing at a bird’s eye view who does what, where
and when. It is expected that the document will stimulate political leaders, policy makers, Programme
Officers, International Agencies, Civil Society, Organized Private Sector (OPS) and NGOs to come to
the aid of the Commission by identifying what area they can help.

The technical backstopping provided by the UNFPA Country Support Team, (CST), Addis Ababa and
the former Chief Technical Adviser, Dr. G. B. Fosu, in the preparation of this document is warmly
acknowledged, so is the continued support and commitment of the UNFPA in Nigeria to the Census
project.

Chief Samu’ila Danko Makama,


(Ubandoman Pyem),
Chairman,
National Population Commission
Abuja.

CHAPTER ONE: INTRODUCTION
THE NATIONAL SETTING

Nigeria is bordered in the south by the Gulf of Guinea and in the East and West by the Cameroon
Republic and the Republic of Benin respectively. The Chad and Niger Republics define the northern
boundary. The total land mass is about 923,768 km2. Nigeria is administratively a Federal Republic
of 36 States with a Federal Capital Territory (FCT). There are at the moment 774 Local Government
Areas of uneven size.

The Federal Government is responsible for defining, establishing, monitoring and evaluating national
policies and programmes; including the Population Policy and Programme. A number of sectors are,
however, jointly shared with the states and LGAs and these include Education, Health, Agriculture,
social welfare etc.

There are more than 260 ethnic groups with diverse cultures and patterns of beliefs. The major ones
include Hausa, Igbo and Yoruba. A greater proportion of the people are either of the Islamic faith or
various Christian denominations. There is a sizeable pocket of adherents of traditional beliefs as well.
All the religious and socio- ethnic groups have a pro-natalist orientation.

In 1988, the government, realizing the importance of integrating demographic data into socio
economic planning, accepted as one of the objectives of the National Policy on Population (NPP) the
improvement of demographic data collection and analysis on regular basis and the use of such data in
planning. With the success achieved in the 1991 Census, it becomes paramount to build on this
baseline so as to have time-series data that can be used to monitor and evaluate programmes as well as
to institutionalize a culture of regular decennial censuses.

CENSUS ’91

Nigeria conducted a Population Census in November 1991 - tagged (Census ‘91). The provisional
results were released in March 1992, while the final figures and statistical tables were submitted to the
government in February 1997. Several monographs, which discuss the census and data derived there-
from, have been published. They include The Analytical Report at the National Level (1998), Gender
and Sustainable Development (2001), Children, Adolescents and Youth (2002) and The Elderly
(2004). With an annual growth rate of 2.99% the population is projected to have increased to
126,152,844 by year 2003, under the medium variant. The data derived from the exercise provide
much of what the country now uses for socio-economic planning.

Census ‘91 was a departure from previous censuses in Nigeria in several respects: Government, Civil
Society and donor support for the exercise was unprecedented; the preparations for, and the conduct
of the census were more technical and thorough than hitherto; local and international reactions
following the release of the results were favourable. The data derived from the exercise, provide
much of what the country now uses for socio-economic planning.

STRUCTURE

Among the noteworthy legacies from Census ‘91 are the following:

™ Nigeria now has a permanent census organization with professionally


qualified staff. The organization, known as the National Population
Commission (NPC), was established by government in 1988. It has the
statutory powers to collect, analyze and disseminate population/demographic
data in the country. It is also mandated to undertake demographic sample
surveys, compile, collate and publish migration and civil registration statistics

3
as well as monitor the country’s Population Policy. The Commission was
reconstituted in 2001 with a Chairman and 37 members representing each
state of the federation and the Federal Capital Territory.

™ A new important mandate for the Commission is the coordination of all


population related activities in the country.

™ Arising from the preparations for the conduct of Census ‘91, the NPC has a
network of offices covering all the administrative tiers of the country:
Federal, State and Local government areas (LGAs). This setup is hardly
matched by any other data collection agency in the country. The NPC is
strategically positioned, therefore, to conduct similar projects in the future.

™ In addition, the NPC possesses seven Data Processing Centers (DPCs),


spread over all the regions of the country. However, the computers are
obsolete and are in urgent need of replacement for current census operations.
A few of the vehicles from Census ‘91 are still useful, but most of them are
unserviceable and need to be replaced for the forthcoming census.

™ The NPC at its inauguration in 1988 embarked on a thorough and


comprehensive Enumeration Area Demarcation (EAD) exercise. In
preparation for the EAD exercise for the 1991 Census, many relevant
topographic and sketch maps of different parts of the country were acquired.
The EAD delineated the country into 212,072 EAs and 43,775 SAs for the
1991 census. For the 2005 Census, the National Frame requires serious
revision and updating. All the EA maps for the 2005 Census will be drawn to
scale and properly geo-referenced. Thereafter, all the EA/SA, topographical,
and cadastral maps will be digitized and EA data base created.

™ Despite the successes of Census ‘91, some doubts still linger due mainly to
controversies surrounding past censuses. There is the need for concerted
advocacy to address these doubts. Part of the shortcoming of Census ‘91 was
inadequate dissemination and utilization of data from 1991 census. The
Advocacy/IEC Programme will be revitalized to carry out its functions at all
administrative levels.

THE PROJECT CONTEXT

A number of problems and issues were identified by the National Population Commission in 1996
through an inter-departmental appraisal exercise, and, secondly, in the course of a UNFPA funded
Programme Review and Strategy Development (PRSD) exercise in Nigeria , (preparatory to the 4th
UNFPA Country Programme, 1997-2001). For example, although Data Collection and Analysis were
becoming institutionalized in the country with the setting up of several statutory data collection
agencies such as the National Population Commission (NPC) and the Federal Office of Statistics
(FOS), there were still major weaknesses which impede the formulation, implementation and
assessment of programmes and policies as well as development planning.

RATIONALE FOR THE CENSUS PROJECT

There is an urgent need to generate and utilize new data. The period since 1991 has witnessed major
demographic, socio-economic, political and technological changes both in this country and globally.

4
These changes have made the world increasingly dependent on data driven decisions and this will be
even more so in the years ahead. Some of the changes that have occurred in particular include:

™ the return of democratic governance to Nigeria and the increased


expectations of the Nigerian nation and populace,

™ the increasing demand for good quality, diversified and timely census and
other data as an essential input into government and private sector decisions,

™ the maturation of the age of information technology with its high powered
computers, E-mail, and the Internet, all of which now open opportunities for
novel data gathering, processing, analyzing and disseminating techniques.
Cartographic procedures, for example, have become more refined and more
scientific. Furthermore, the map products derived from censuses are
accessible to all organizations through the World Wide Web. Recent census
maps fit in to any projections and design of maps in a global frame. Also,
sampling is increasingly used to expand the scope of the census inquiry.
Optical devices such as Optical Character Recognition/Optical Mark Reader
(OCR/OMR) scanners now permit a more cost effective, timely, reliable and
accurate processing of census information,

™ the emergence of new concerns and new issues demanding investigation such
as the HIV/AIDS pandemic. There is also a renewed concern about
gathering and utilizing data on social indicators of poverty, such as access to
safe water supply, sanitation, waste disposal and basic education.

™ Non existence of time series data: Census ‘91 provided the base, and the
next Census will consolidate on the base. With the success achieved in the
1991 census, it is important to build on this baseline so as to have time series
data that can be used to monitor and evaluate population and development
programmes.

These and other changes demand that a project such as the 2005 Census, which will collect/generate
good quality data, be undertaken. Also, the absence of a population database makes it impossible to
access detailed and comprehensive micro and macro level data and other useful information on
demographic and socio-economic characteristics of the population as an aid to development planning,
project monitoring, and evaluation. That is why the sub-project on the database needs to be
supported.

Constraints

(I) one major limitation in Nigeria is the inefficiency of data collection and collation
activities. The delay in publishing the results of Census ‘91 arose in part from poor
funding of collation and other post enumeration activities. There is, therefore, a need
for proper, adequate and timely release of funds for the 2005 census post
enumeration activities such as data capture and processing.

(II) Limited supply of human and physical resources committed to data collection,
analysis and dissemination.

(III) Lack of reliable information on vulnerable groups such as the urban poor, the
homeless etc as well as access to basic facilities such as safe water supply, sanitation
and waste disposal. Census ‘91 data had no information on availability of housing

5
facilities, housing needs and utilization. The next project will be a Population and
Housing Census and is aimed at providing these basic data.

(IV) Long history of suspicion and politicization of population censuses. This


requires advocacy efforts to improve the perception of censuses and obtain the
support and commitment of policy makers in government, the private sector and
donors for demographic data collection.

(V) Inadequate geographical data, e.g., base maps

STRATEGIES OF THE 2005 CENSUS

The broad Strategies to address the issues and problems identified above will include initiating and
implementing preparatory activities towards the successful conduct of the next Population and
Housing Census, including:

™ Aggressive and Effective advocacy programme to sufficiently sensitize


opinion leaders and government officials on relevance of census and fund
mobilization

™ Availability of technical manpower through training of all cadres of census


personnel including, study tours of other countries with similar social and
political environment

™ Provision of infra-structural/logistic support including re-furbishing and


strengthening of existing equipment, purchase of vehicles, computers, optical
devices/scanners etc

™ Specification and acquisition of all base maps, ortho-photo maps and photo
imageries required for the EAD exercise

™ Digitizing, Scanning, Storage and continuous updating of all base maps and
map products

™ Development of EA data base, locality data base, and other attributes data
files to be aggregated and linked to form a properly structured Cartographic
data bank for Census Mapping in Nigeria

™ Full scale establishment of a functioning, properly linked ( to the


Internet), GIS laboratory for Census Mapping. This would include the
acquisition of numerous state of the art digital cartographic and GIS
hardware and software packages

™ Enhancing accuracy and early completion of data processing

™ Establishment of a viable population database.

™ Conduct the 2005 Population and Housing census enumeration and

™ Process, analyze and disseminate the results.

6
LONG TERM OBJECTIVE

To have assisted in strengthening the capacity of NPC in data collection, processing and
dissemination: particularly ensuring properly planned and timely conduct of population and housing
censuses and large scale surveys. This will be actualized through enhancing the institutional and
professional expertise, by means of training of the national staff in the design, collection, processing,
evaluation, analysis and dissemination of data required by a wide range of data users, particularly for
development planning.

DELIVERABLES

It is expected that the following outputs would have been delivered by the end of the project cycle in
December 2007 if the above strategies are successfully and effectively carried out:

™ National consensus and support for carrying out a viable census

™ Improved awareness among the public towards population issues in general


and a broader and stronger commitment to population issues by policy
makers through increased budgetary provision for census and other
demographic data collection activities

™ Strengthened technical competence of NPC staff in the various relevant


departments through training courses, seminars, workshops, on the job
training as well as instructive training for the acquisition of higher skills

™ Strengthened institutional capacity of NPC to collect, process, analyze and


disseminate data and store maps and geographic information through the
provision and upgrade of basic equipment like computers, motor vehicles,
optical scanners etc, which are indispensable for modern data gathering,
storage, processing and dissemination of results

™ Undertake the dissemination of the 2005 population census data to policy and
decision makers, programme implementing agencies and planners at federal,
state and LGA level as well as other stakeholders in the NGO community and
commercial private sector in a gender sensitive format

™ Put in place a standard for demographic analysis and a basis for evaluation of
future census and demographic pattern in the country and.

™ Establish a secure and well equipped structure for future data analysis and
other data evaluation, processing and report writing activities

™ Cartographic data bases for census including Standard National Sampling


Frame for socioeconomic surveys and censuses and National Gazetteer of
Place Names.

PAST AND RELATED ACTIVITIES OF THE COMMISSION

Under the World Fertility Survey (WFS) programme, the Nigeria Fertility Survey (NFS) was
conducted by National Population Bureau, the predecessor of the National Population Commission in
1981-82. The establishment of a Universal Vital Registration System in the country was completed in
1992.

7
Nigeria Demographic and Health Surveys (NDHS) were conducted in 1999 and 2003 with UNFPA
and USAID support. An Education Data Survey (2003) was sponsored by USAID. The UNFPA is
supporting the continuation of Sentinel Surveys of the National Population Programme (NPP) and the
automation of Cartography and GIS in the current country programme. The Population Activity Fund
Agency (PAFA), a World Bank assisted agency, supported between 1994-1999 the earlier Sentinel
Surveys of the NPP. Other Census ‘91 related activities and support from donors are fully described in
the administrative report.

STAKEHOLDERS

The stakeholders for the next Population and Housing Census project are
persons/organizations/institutions with vested interest in the project. They stand to either gain or lose
as a result of the census. They are actual or potential proponents or opponents of the project. Census
project stakeholders can be divided into:

™ Primary Stakeholders:

These are people whose welfare will be either improved or jeopardized by the forthcoming
census project. They include:

™ Elected officials and politicians at all the 3 tiers of


government - federal, state and local authority whose
fortunes could be affected by the results of the next census.

™ Federal ministries and extra ministerial departments and


sister statistical organizations, such as the FOS, whose work
will be affected by the census. Two (2) important
stakeholders worth mentioning are the Federal Ministry of
Works and Housing and the Federal Ministry of
Employment, Labour and Productivity. The Commission
will consult with them and solicit for their support, including
financial, early in the project cycle. Community based groups
and NGOs working in population and health related field.

™ Planners and Population Programme Managers such as those


in the National Planning Commission, Department of
Community Development and Population Activities
(DCDPA), Planned Parenthood Federation of Nigeria
(PPFN), State Planning Commissions, researchers in
universities, marketing and investment strategists, etc whose
need for accurate, timely and reliable data for programme
planning, implementation and monitoring will be met from
the results of the next Census.

™ Secondary Stakeholders

These are persons who will be involved in implementing project activities. For the next census these
are all the staff of the Commission from the Chairman and Commissioners, Director-General and
Directors down to the lowest grade level staff as well as facilitators, supervisors, enumerators and
other census temporary staff.

CHAPTER TWO: LINKAGES BETWEEN OUTPUTS AND
ACTIVITIES
Output A:

Accurate, appropriate and timely development data available for evidence-based policy-making, planning,
monitoring and evaluation of Nigeria’s development programmes.

Indicator 1: Number and type of datasets produced

Major Activity 1: EA demarcation, production of maps and development of GIS.

Nigeria is made up of 36 states and a Federal Capital Territory (FCT), which are grouped into six geo-
political zones. These are divided into 774 constitutionally recognised Local Government Areas (LGAs).
The Enumeration Area Demarcation (EAD) fieldwork will divide the LGAs into EAs. To enable census
enumeration to be completed in about 3 days, each EA will contain from 40-100 households, and more
than 350,000 EAs and 70,000 Supervision Areas (SAs) are expected to be demarcated. Each census
enumerator and supervisor will be provided with a map of his/her assignment area.
EAD is scheduled to be undertaken in three phases:
• Phase I (July 2004) will consist of 7 LGAs in each of the six zones plus the FCT;
• Phase II (September 2004) will consist of 37 LGAs, ie, one in each state and the FCT;
• Phase III (January-July 2005) will consist of the remaining 730 LGAs.
In each phase, fieldwork in the LGAs will be undertaken simultaneously. The phased approach is being
used to take account of different logistics, settlement patterns and terrain, and will ensure a steady build-
up of trained field staff, equipment, materials and vehicles in the field. Topographic and cadastral (urban)
maps and satellite imagery are required for updating in the field and Global Positioning System (GPS)
receivers and distance measuring equipment will be used to assist in providing an accurate EA frame.
After the enumeration, census report mapping will be undertaken and the digital EA maps and data will
be linked and serve as the basis for the development of GIS that will be used for thematic (including
poverty) mapping and dissemination.

Major Activity 2: Development and review of census instruments.

Draft questionnaires, manuals and control forms for the census and Post-Enumeration Survey (PES) have
already been developed by the Census Technical Group (CTG) and were evaluated at a three-day
workshop in May 2004. This led to a revision of the documents and census plans. A data users workshop
is to be held in August 2004 and will provide users and stakeholders with opportunities to make inputs so
that more relevant and usable data can be collected during the census.
Optical Character Recognition (OCR) and Optical Mark Reader (OMR) scanners now permit more cost-
effective, timely, reliable and accurate processing of census data. Forms in the OCR/OMR formats will
be designed, produced and tested during the pre-test in November 2004 and the Trial Census in April
2005. Finalisation of the census instruments will be done after these exercises and will be guided by a
comprehensive and policy-oriented analysis and tabulation plans resulting from a users-producers
consensus.

Major Activity 3: Advocacy and publicity activities in support of the census.

10
The planning and implementation of advocacy activities in support of the census operation is critical.
Despite the successes of the 1991 census, doubts lingered over its accuracy. There is a need therefore, for
an effective Publicity and Advocacy (P&A) programme for the 2005 census to address these doubts and
sensitise policy makers, opinion leaders, development planners, the private sector and the general public
on the relevance of census and to encourage their participation in it.
Accordingly, a high-level National Census Advocacy and IEC Committee will be established and its
membership will include the Vice-President of the Federal Republic, the Minister of Finance and the
Chairman of the Senate Committee on Population. It will have the responsibility of mobilizing financial
and logistical support for the P&A campaign. In addition, a National Census Publicity Committee,
charged with overall census IEC and publicity, will be constituted and include journalists and professional
staff of the Federal Ministry of Information.

Major Activity 4: Realization of the Pre-Test.

A pre-test is required to evaluate the adequacy of the census instruments and procedures. The pre-test will
be held in November 2004 and is designed to assess the suitability of the use of scanning as a method of
data capture. Other objectives will include an assessment of:
• The suitability of forms, clarity of concepts, instructions and contents of census instruments;
• The new EA frame and census maps;
• The relationship between the EAD estimated population and the pre-test population;
• The workload of the enumerators;
• The logistical support from the states and LGAs;
• The adequacy of advocacy/IEC techniques.
The pre-test will cover about 7,400 EAs (200 EAs per state and FCT), and an in-house workshop will be
held to evaluate the results of the pre-test and review census instruments and methodology.

Major Activity 5: Realization of the Trial Census.

A Trial Census will be conducted in about 26,000 EAs in April 2005. This will serve as a final test for
the main enumeration in November 2005.
Among the objectives of the trial census will be to assess:
• The census instruments (questionnaires, manuals and control forms);
• Enumeration procedures (eg, de facto enumeration and thumb marking with indelible ink);
• The list of historical events as an aid to age estimation;
• Recruitment and training procedures for enumerators and supervisors;
• Methods and procedures for paying staff in the field;
• The quality and usefulness of the EA maps;
• Logistics and communications between headquarters and the field;
• The publicity levels achieved;
• Data processing strategies.
The trial census questionnaires will be scanned. The captured data will be analysed and a trial census
report prepared.

11
Major Activity 6: Census Enumeration and PES.

A de facto census is to be held in November 2005. A week before the enumeration, there will be EA
identification, house numbering, household listing and administration of the Housing Census
questionnaire. Vast quantities of materials will be needed, some of which will be procured on a
decentralised basis, whilst the questionnaires will require high-quality printing overseas.
Recruitment and training of census field staff will be another massive undertaking. Training will be done
in five phases. The length of these training programmes and the approximate numbers of personnel
involved are as follows:
• In-house Training of Trainers (ToT), for four days for about 100 persons;
• Training of Chief and Principal Training Officers, for five days for about 800-900 persons;
• Training at state level for Facilitators, for five days for about 32,000 persons;
• Training of Supervisors at the LGA level, for six days for about 110,000 persons;
• Training of Enumerators at the LGA level, for seven days for about 882,000 persons.
Supervisors will each supervise about four EAs and will be deployed on the basis of one supervisor for
each SA, but it is planned to deploy two locally recruited Enumerators (one male, one female) in each
EA, as in the 1991 census.

Two weeks after the main enumeration there will be a Post Enumeration Survey (PES). This is expected
to cover about 8,400 EAs. The PES will be used to evaluate the census and collect additional data.
Accordingly, the PES will have its own questionnaire.

Major Activity 7: Data capture and processing.

The need to adopt efficient and effective methods of data capture and processing are critical for the
success of the 2005 census. Seven Data Processing Centres (DPCs) will be set up to ensure that the data
captured by scanning technology is processed in the shortest possible time. The main data processing
activities are as follows:
• Receipt of the census questionnaires at DPCs;
• Manual editing and coding;
• Data capture;
• Data editing;
• A comparison of manual counts with computer counts;
• Data tabulation;
• Database generation
• Data dissemination.
A detailed data processing plan needs to be developed and tested to ensure that as soon as the returns start
to come in, data capture processing can begin. This involves a comprehensive description of various
tasks to be performed including their functional relationships and scheduling in terms of time required,
human and material resources. It also includes setting up of network, program development for editing
and tabulation. Computer programs would be developed by IT staff and a document outlining
methodology and implementation modalities will be produced. The use of OMR/OCR will require
special planning.

Further data processing will be required for the Post Enumeration Study. Technical assistance is required
to provide overall guidance and coordination of the various activities throughout the pre-census and post-
census periods. One highly qualified international resident advisor and several IT experts will provide
support for this activity which will be decentralized at the DPCs
Preliminary results are expected to be produced at most six months after data capture and the final
results by the end of 2006.

12
Based on the analysis and tabulation plans already developed and reviewed by data users, data processing
will provide policy makers and potential users with a series of standard census tables, which constitute a
framework for data analysis. These tables will be reviewed with stakeholders and upon consensus on
how each variable will be most usefully presented.

Output B:

Increased knowledge of stakeholders at all levels (national, state and local) concerning population
patterns, trends, MDGs indicators and implications for development policy, planning and resource
allocation.

Indicator 2: % of stakeholders reached.

Indicator 3: Research findings widely disseminated and discussed.

Major Activity 8: Dissemination of the census results.

One of the shortcomings of the 1991 Census was inadequate dissemination and utilization of data.
However, for demographic data to be effective, it has to be properly evaluated, adequately analysed and
widely disseminated. Serious attention will be made therefore, to speedy production of analytical reports
and subject-specific monographs from the census results.
Dissemination seminars and workshops will be organised at various periods of the project for all
interested users and stakeholders, and marketing and dissemination strategies for census data products
will be devised. These will involve using the Internet and machine-readable media such as CD/ROMs.
To assist with the dissemination process, a census database will be established.
As the final step in ensuring data availability, a series of seminars will be held to disseminate the census
data. These will be further complemented by data utilization workshops outlined under output C.

Major Activity 9: Establishment of sampling frame, functional databases accessible by all potential
users.

Data gaps are inevitable without a recent census, as follow-up surveys would be using outdated sampling
frames, with the likelihood that that they will produce seriously biased estimates. One of the immediate
objectives therefore, is to create accurate field maps and lists of EAs to control the 2005 census. These
will then be used to develop an efficient area-sampling frame for use in the next Demographic Health
Survey (DHS) and other sample surveys.

To facilitate dissemination of census and PES results, as well as the integration of population variables
into the development planning process, a population database that will be accessible to planners, policy
makers and researchers will be established. The system will consist of a user and data-friendly database
and a set of analytical methods to transform the data into usable information. A UNFPA/CST Regional
Adviser will assist in planning the database and providing technical assistance on its construction. The
Adviser will organise in-house training for about four weeks and this will involve NPC staff from the
seven DPCs and Headquarters. The database will be organized to store both macro and micro-level data.
The latter can be retrieved and processed at small area levels using the latest relevant software packages.

A population database will also be established, integrating population-related data/information from the
2005 census and data from other surveys and line ministries.
The above-mentioned activities will lead to the achievement of the output of not only making data widely
available but also allowing the generation of population related indicators for monitoring the MDGs

13
Output C:

Increased utilization at all levels (national and local) of development data, for designing, monitoring and
evaluating development programmes.

Indicator 4: % (number) of professional staff at national and local levels trained in the
utilization of population data for planning, monitoring and evaluation.

Indicator 5: Existence of a national training plan.

Major Activity 10: In-depth analysis of relevant themes such as poverty, gender dimensions and
migration.

As the Government pursues its Millennium Development Goals (MDGs), which include putting
indicators in place and monitoring implementation, there is renewed concern about gathering and utilizing
data on social indicators of poverty, such as access to safe water supply, electricity, sanitation, waste
disposal and basic education.
Therefore, in-depth analysis of the 2005 census data will be carried out on poverty and other topics such
as gender, migration, fertility and mortality for small areas, geo-political zones and states, in order to
provide information for a variety of users. The analysed data will be published at intervals as
monographs, and these will provide comparisons with those from the 1991 census data.

Major Activity 11: Training of users at various levels.

The availability of data is not an end in itself. Once the data is available, it will be widely disseminated at
national, states and LGA levels to planners, decision-makers, administration, civil society, universities
and research centers, private sector and the public at large.
The increased capacity at all levels to take population patterns and trends into account when designing,
monitoring and evaluating development programmes will be reached through a series of training activities
targeting national staff at various levels (Macro-Policy, States and LGAs, line ministries). NPC will
organize training through seminars, workshops and the placement of selected candidates in training
institutions abroad. The training programmes should integrate the poverty and gender dimensions, the
integration of population factors into development programmes, and involve candidates of both sexes.

Major Activity 12: Establishment and maintenance of a website.

As an activity of the first output, a national development database will be established that will become the
repository of all data in the public domain. A careful selection of officially acknowledged development
data will be made available for easy utilization by all stakeholders through a web site. A number of
national will undergo training on the development of the web site as well as its maintenance.
The following will be accomplished by NPC :
• A Local Area Network (LAN) network will be set up at Headquarters;
• An Internet connection will be provided for Headquarters and the DPCs;
• An NPC website will be established. This will initially use existing data, but will be developed
further as new data becomes available.
The establishment of internet facilities and a website containing a population database will assist with the
dissemination of 2005 census data throughout the country.

14
Output D:

Strengthened capacity of the NPC in data collection, processing, analysis, dissemination and utilization of
large-scale, gender disaggregated development data.

Indicator 6: Existence of a comprehensive training plan for staff.

Indicator 7: % of NPC professional staff trained in various skills.

Indicator 8: Existence of fully functioning NPC.

This output will be achieved through a series of training activities at the NPC level, to equip staff with
required skills in data collection, processing, analysis, dissemination and utilization. Specific activities are
detailed below

Major Activity 13: Capacity building of NPC staff.

NPC has offices in all the administrative units of the country, ie, the geo-political zones, state and LGAs.
The Commission therefore, is strategically positioned to conduct the census project. However, the
efficiency of this large organisation depends on the competence and experience of its staff. Some staff
were trained for the 1991 census, but due to staff turnover and rapid developments in technologies over
the past decade, there is a need to upgrade staff skills in all departments.
Therefore, capacity building is an important part of the census project, and various short and long-term
training courses, study tours and workshops will be organised locally and overseas during the pre- and
post-enumeration phases. The NPC training plan includes courses in the following:
• Advocacy and public enlightenment;
• Census planning;
• Sampling and statistical methods;
• Sub-national population projections;
• Information technology including Data processing, LAN and internet software
• Data dissemination;
• Demographic data analysis;
• Management Information Systems (MIS);
• Geographical Information Systems (GIS);
• Census cartography
• Geo-data bases design and management.

In addition, technical assistance in the form of long and short-term advisers and consultants, will be
provided by development partners and government, including the following:
• Chief Technical Adviser (CTA);
• Adviser on Census Publicity and Dissemination;
• Adviser in Information Technology (IT);
• Regional Adviser in MIS;
• Adviser in Demographic Analysis;
• Adviser in GIS;
• Consultant in Census Cartography;
• Cartographic Software consultant;

15
• Geo-database consultants.

Major Activity 14: Strengthening NPC institutional capacity.

National and state Logistics Committees will be established. Membership will include NPC and relevant
government organisations such as the Ministry of Communications, Nigeria Police and the Electoral
Commission. The Committees will plan and control the movement of census personnel and materials and
attend to security and communications issues.
This preparatory activity also covers the provision of infra-structural and logistical support for the census.
This includes the following:
• Construction of new offices for NPC;
• Refurbishment of existing offices and equipment;
• Renting accommodation for the Cartography / GIS Laboratory whilst construction is underway;
• Purchase and maintenance of cartographic and xerographic equipment
• Purchase of computer hardware (including scanning equipment) and computer software
• Purchase of vehicles, including 4WD station wagons, pick-ups, lorries and buses;
• Purchase of motorcycles, bicycles and boats;
• Hiring helicopters, horses, camels and canoes;
• Providing fuel and maintenance for vehicles.
It is expected that the realization of the above-mentioned activities will lead to the achievement of the
output of strengthened capacity of NPC, the main assumption being that the staff turnover is maintained
at a minimum.

MONITORING AND EVALUATION

The census outputs correspond to the output 3 of the UNFPA CP: “Increase availability and accessibility
of development data”. The result of this output 3 of the CP will contribute to the achievement of the
outcome 2 identified in the UNDAF: “to enhance the management and implementation of population and
development programmes”.

The project workplan will serve as the main instrument for Results Based Management (RBM). It
includes the outputs that will be utilized to monitor and evaluate level and timeliness and quality of
achievements.

In addition to the quality control plan, the monitoring and evaluation of the project will be ensured
through:

- Periodic Field Visits


- Project Reports
- Annual and Final Project Review Meetings
- Audits

NPC will organize periodic field visits, at which it will associate experts from UNFPA, EU, DFID, and
other key partners.

NPC, with the assistance of the Census Advisor, will prepare an annual project report, which will be
discussed at the annual review meeting. At the end of the project, NPC will prepare a final report and a
final Project Review meeting will be organized.

16
At the level of the High Level Meeting on the 2005 Census (HLMC) monitoring of activities will
involve the receipt of quarterly reports from the NPC. The HLMC will then provide timely
feedback on the reports to the NPC

An independent evaluation will be carried out in the year 2007 to determine the extent to which
the census objectives were achieved and also to make recommendations for promotion of
effective and extensive use of census data and related data for population and socio-economic
development programmes.

Monitoring and Evaluation Plans are presented in Appendix ----- . Each department will executed
its plans jointly with Planning and Research department.

EXECUTION AND IMPLEMENTATION

The NPC will take the lead in coordinating all activities related to the 2005 census project. The
organization has a permanent staff strength of more than 6,000, consisting of demographers, statisticians
cartographers, computer programmer/analysts, administrators, etc, most of whom had field experiences in
1991. Thus, the NPC has the requisite human resources, which, with some strengthening, can
successfully undertake a Population and Housing Census in November 2005.

Within the context of UNDAF, the co-chairs of the theme group on Data for Development will nominate
a Project Coordinating Task Force which will be set up to oversee the implementation of the project
activities.

It is proposed to set up a 2005 Census Coordinating Task Force that will be chaired by the Chairman
National Population Commission and will comprise UNFPA Representative and representatives from the
National Planning Commission, FOS, Department of Planning and Research MOF, National Data Bank,
National Council on Statistics, National Advisory Committee on Statistics, Institute of Social and
Economic Research.

Resident Advisers, experts and consultants both from development partners and UNFPA will play a key
role in the implementation of the 2005 census activities.

17
CHAPTER THREE: QUALITY CONTROL PLAN
Introduction:

During the pre-enumeration, enumeration and post-enumeration phases of the 2005 census
project, activities in the field and office will be extensively monitored and evaluated by the
relevant departments and independent observers to ensure quality standards are maintained.

The Monitoring and Evaluation plans for the Cartography, Census and Surveys, Information
Technology and Public Affairs Departments are set out below.

Cartography Department:

M&E by the Department will consist of review meetings, periodic progress reports and field visits,
as follows:

Review Meetings:
The department proposes a meeting of the Census Technical Group (CTG) every two months to
discuss progress and problems experienced in the Enumeration Area Demarcation (EAD)
fieldwork. The Director will provide progress reports for these meetings.

It should be noted that these regular meetings would not prohibit any emergency call for briefing
to the Commission or CTG where the need arises.

Field Report Forms:


Field Demarcators working in the Local Government Areas (LGAs) will not have to write reports.
Rather, they will submit completed EA maps to their Supervisors on a daily basis, with a
certification or endorsement from the Supervisor confirming receipt. However, the Supervisors
will complete a field Report Form for the State Directors. These Report Forms will be dated and
their receipt recorded.

Contact between Supervisors and Demarcators:


Supervisors should visit Demarcators on a daily basis as much as possible. If it is easier for
Demarcators to see their Supervisors at the end of the day, this can be done. But the
responsibility is on the Supervisor to ensure daily contact. In difficult terrain, eg, riverine areas,
contact between Supervisors and Demarcators should be at least once in three days.

Visits by State Offices and Headquarters to LGAs:


Officers from the State Offices are expected to visit the Supervisors and Demarcators on a weekly
basis. They will also visit the GPS Operators. Supervisors are expected to provide the State
Director with the weekly schedules of the four groups of Demarcators, indicating their areas of
demarcation planned for the week. This will reduce the time needed by State Directors when
searching for Supervisors and Demarcators during visits. During these visits, the Supervisors
will give the State Directors the following:

• The EA maps so far completed, ie, the field plots on graph sheets, EA boundary
descriptions and Field Control Forms;

• The Report Form, properly completed by the Supervisor, detailing the work completed in a
week.

The State Director will assess the LGA Report Forms and evaluate the EA graph sheet plots. The
State Director will then complete his report for Headquarters based on the quality and progress of

18
the work in the field. Officers from Headquarters will also make periodic visits to the field and
complete a field report for the Director of Cartography. Finally, every two months the Director will
write a report on the progress of EAD for the CTG and the Federal Commissioner heading the
Cartographic Committee.

Census Department:

The Census Department (CD) monitoring strategy will be a combination of field visits and routine,
regular reporting from LGAs and States. In addition, there will be meetings at least every fortnight
to review the reports and give necessary feedback to the relevant field staff.

The following activities from the work plan will require periodic field visits from Headquarters and
States:

Fieldwork for the Pre-Test (November 2004):


Management and senior officers from NPC will be sent to the states to monitor the distribution of
pre-test materials. They will also travel to the LGAs to observe the training of Supervisors and
Enumerators and the actual fieldwork.

Fieldwork for the Trial Census (April 2005):


The distribution of materials, training and enumeration for the trial census will be monitored from
Headquarters. Observers from outside the Commission may also monitor the exercise.

Verification of EAD:
Technical officers from CD and other departments will undertake verification of the EAD to see if it
is being well done and recommend amendments, eg, for oversized or undersized EAs.

Conduct of the 2005 Census Enumeration:


The main enumeration will involve training large numbers of field staff in phases: Training of
Trainers (ToT), Chief Census Officers, Facilitators, Supervisors and Enumerators. Management
and technical officers of NPC will monitor the training procedures to ensure the concepts are well
understood. During the enumeration, officers of the Commission and independent observers will
monitor the adequate provision of materials and logistics support. They will also monitor
enumeration and attend to identified shortcomings.

Conduct of the Post Enumeration Survey (PES):


Management and technical officers of NPC will monitor the PES sample in the field.

Information Technology (IT) Department:

During the implementation of the 2005 census data processing, the Information Technology
Department (ITD) will undertake monitoring and supervision visits to the seven Data Processing
Centres (DPCs). In addition, there will be meetings at least every fortnight to review the reports
and give necessary feedback to the relevant field operators.

The following activities from the work plan will require periodic visits from Headquarters:

Reception of Census Questionnaires from the field:


At least four days after the 2005 census enumeration, the questionnaires and other documents
will be sent to the DPCs. It is expected that the Director-General and ITD senior staff will
supervise the delivery of these documents from the state offices to the DPCs using the
CENTRACK forms.

In particular, the following will be checked:

19
• the number of questionnaire booklets received corresponds with the number sent;
• the names of the enumerators and supervisors appear on each booklet;
• where there are no returns, a supervisor’s report explains the problem;
• where there is no explanation, the comptroller for the LGA will go to the field to provide
the answer.

Manual Editing / Coding:


Basic standards on archiving must be followed whilst doing the manual editing / coding. The data
entry CENTRAK form will be used so that retrieval of documents will not present any problems.
Regular mobthly visits to the DPCs will be needed.

Data Capture/Entry:
Data entry will require routine monitoring on a fortnightly basis. Again, the CENTRACK form will
be used. The expected progress will be cross-checked with actual progress. Administrative
actions will be taken where required.

Computer Editing:
This activity requires extensive monitoring even when the consistency and correctness checks
are embedded in the application software. Basic standards as considered in the programme will
be followed to correct the errors highlighted by the Editing software. It is expected that all LGA
consistency and correctness reports will be sent to the monitoring team every month.

Transmitting the Data to Headquarters:


Completed clean data shall be transmitted to Headquarters progressively, LGA by LGA. On
receipt of each LGA clean data, it will be further subjected to editing at the Headquarters to
confirm error-free and ‘no-missing’ EAs in that LGA. The monitoring team in each case will meet
to generate plans to effect corrections at the DPCs.

Public Affairs Department (PAD):

At various stages of the 2005 census project, it will be necessary to monitor and report on the
effects of the Publicity and Advocacy/ IEC programmes carried out by PAD. This will help PAD
plan further strategies to ensure the creation of full census awareness among all members of the
public.

The field monitoring should be carried out at least three times to determine the outcome of
various workshops, seminars and other publicity programmes of the Commission.

Monitoring and evaluation will enable the Commission to fully recognise the areas of weakness,
the preparedness for the census, and the effects of the media on the masses. It will also enable
PAD officers to recognise the extent of translation of publicity documents in various local
languages and their effects on the people.

20
CHAPTER FOUR: CENSUS OPERATIONS

INTRODUCTION

The 2005 Census Project will be executed in five components, namely; (i) Census (ii) Census
Cartography and GIS (iii) Information Technology (iv) Advocacy/IEC and (v) Census Logistics &
Administration.

The census operations component is the critical sub-project of the Census 2005.The census and surveys

To achieve this output, a number of pre-censal preparatory activities will be undertaken to strengthen the
capacity of NPC to carry out the 2005 Population and Housing Census and PES. These will include

21
training of census personnel, provision of technical/manpower support, refurbishing of existing
equipment and acquisition of new ones.

Activity 1.1: Recruit Census Technical Adviser (CTA)

A CTA is needed to assist the NPC in the planning, organization, execution and management of the
Census 2005 Project. The UNFPA is requested through technical assistance to provide a CTA to continue
assisting in the preparation of census methodology, questionnaire design, training, project monitoring, etc,
during the project (2004 - 2007).

Activity 1.2a: Establish Census Technical and Administrative Committees

To assist the Commission in the conduct of the next Census, a Census Technical Committee will be
established. The Committee will be assisted by four subject specific sub-committees namely, Census
Planning, Cartography, Data Processing and Methodology.

Technical Committee

Census Technical Group (CTG) will be the main technical committee.

The Committee will be composed of all Directors, Heads of Departments, the Secretary to the
Commission, the Chief Technical Adviser (CTA), the Adviser on Cartography, the IT and Advocacy
Advisers. Other members are the most senior Deputy Directors in each department in the Headquarters.
The Chairman and Secretary of the CTG will be the Director-General and Deputy Director, Census
Division, respectively. The CTG and its sub-committees will have the following responsibilities:-

1. To deliberate on technical issues of the census and the Post Enumeration Survey
(PES) and advise the Commission accordingly;

2. To develop Census and PES methodology, concepts, questionnaires, tabulation

The committee will be charged with overall Census IEC and Publicity.

Activity 1.2b: Facilitate enactment of Census legislation

Activity 1.3: Train Staff

The NPC is a large organization whose efficiency depends on the competence and experience of its
professional staff. Although some staff were trained for the 1991 census exercise, however, due to staff
turnover and rapid development in the field, there is a need to upgrade the demographic data collection
and analysis capability of the Commission. Also, expertise is required in areas of current deficiency such
as in Population projections, statistical methods, sampling, small area demographic estimation, data
quality and sex dis-aggregated statistics.

23
A programme to upgrade staff skills has commenced with UNFPA sponsorship of some staff for training
in gender statistics and census management based on UN Recommendation for the 2000 Round of
Population and Housing Censuses, under the current country programme. Staff who have attended the
courses will later on train other Commission staff. Other training programmes include:

(a) Conduct in-country training on current methods of demographic data analysis. The training will
be undertaken by personnel from the IPC, one CST Adviser, and the three participants at IPC
Processing Course. About 30 Commission staff will be trained for 4 weeks in January 2006.

(b) Training of 30 staff in data Collection and Interviewing Techniques in country by staff of IPC.
August 2004. (TOT)

Activity 1.4: Conduct Users/Producers of Data Workshop

The main objective of any census is to produce statistics relevant to the needs of people and organizations
that use the data. A Data Users Workshop will be undertaken during the early stages of the preparatory
activities to review the census questionnaires, concepts, definitions, etc. Input from the data users and
other stakeholders will enhance relevance of data.

The NPC has produced draft documents with topics planned for inclusion in the next Population and
Housing Census. The document will be sent to users for comment.
The workshop will be held early in the census calendar in either Abuja or Jos and is expected to last for 3
days. Participants will include International donor and development agencies, Nigerian Government
Agencies, Organized Private Sector, and NGOs such as the PPFN, NCWS, PATHFINDER, FORD and
other foundations.

Activity 1.5: Procure computers for Census Planning, Implementation and Monitoring

Procure 84 state of the art computers with relevant software for census planning, implementation and
monitoring.10 computers to headquarters and 2 computers to each state and FCT. The provision of these
will strengthen the department’s role and enhance efficiency and effectiveness in the implementation and
coordination of census activities.

Activity 1.6: Procure Project Vehicles for Census field monitoring

Procure 78 project vehicles for use in census activities, implementation and field monitoring visits. 4
vehicles are to headquarters and 2 vehicles to each state and FCT. Pre-censal activities will commence in
earnest in the year 2004. There is a need to ensure effective implementation and monitoring of the
activities.

OUTPUT 2

Finalized Census and PES and Instruments

Activity 2.1: Prepare draft Census and PES instruments.

Draft census questionnaires, manuals and control forms for the next Population and Housing Census have
been developed by the Census Division. These were examined at a 3-day internal workshop (partly
funded by UNFPA). The outcome of the workshop led to refinement of the forms and census plans.
Another workshop, data users workshop (see activity 1.4), will provide users and other stakeholders with

24
opportunities to make inputs so that a more relevant, more usable data can be collected during the census.
The census instruments will be finalized after the pre-tests and the trial census.

Activity 2.2a: Prepare analysis plan

Activity 2.2b: Prepare tabulation plan and develop coding manual

Activity 2.3: Conduct workshop on Census draft instruments

Conduct a 3-day internal workshop in the NPC headquarters, Abuja to examine census questionnaires,
manuals and control forms. The workshop will be attended by all principal technical officers of the
Commission as well as invited resource persons from the universities and research centres. Useful
suggestions to be made are expected to result in improvements in the draft documents.

Activity 2.4: Submit to commission for adoption, draft census and PES instruments.

The draft census documents will be submitted to the Commission. The Commission Board, comprising
the Chairman, Commissioners and the Director-General, will examine the forms and make suggestions
towards further improvement. The modified draft document will be subjected to further scrutiny and
adjustments after the data users/producers’ workshop.

Activity 2.5: Procure Census instruments and materials for the Pre-test

The draft documents that were earlier produced and subsequently modified with inputs from the
Commission and the data users’ workshop will be printed and tested during the Pre-test. The 3 main
Instruments (Census Questionnaire-01, PES Questionnaire-02, and Housing Census Questionnaire-07),
control forms and manuals will be printed either locally or abroad (if scanning is adopted as the main data
capture method). Based on a sample of 7400 EAs (200 EAs per state and FCT), about 462,500 Form 01,
23,125 Form 02, 8,000 Form 07 and 20,000 Enumerators and 5000 Supervisors manuals will be

There will be 2 stages of training for the Pre-test. The first stage will be pre-test Training of Trainers,
such as training officers, state directors and other senior officers of the Commission. Facilitators from
departments will be responsible for the 1st stage of training, which will last for 5 days.

25
The second stage of training will involve supervisors and enumerators at the state level. The state director
and other facilitators will conduct the training, assisted by the training officer and some officers from the
headquarters. The training will last for 7 days and will accommodate practical exercise using relevant
instruments.

Activity 2.8: Conduct the Census Pre-test

The conduct of the pre-test is one of the requirements of a good census work plan. Pre-tests are required
to evaluate the adequacy of the census instruments and procedures. The NPC will carry out 1 pre-test and
1 trial census before the next Population and Housing Census. The pre-test is designed, among other
objectives, to evaluate the suitability or otherwise of the use of scanning as a method of data capture.
Other objectives include:-

a. To evaluate the suitability of forms, clarity of concepts, instructions and


contents of census instruments

b. To evaluate the use of the EA maps for the Census

c. To assess the workload of each team of enumerators and supervisors

d. To assess the logistics support from States and LGAs.

e. To evaluate the adequacy of techniques adopted for advocacy/IEC for the Census.

f. To examine the relationship between EAD estimated population and the pretest
population throughout the country.

g. To evaluate the adequacy of the data capture method adopted, etc.

The Pretest will cover 7,400 EAs throughout the country, giving an average of 200 EAs
per state and FCT. The sample is expected to generate sizable field returns to be scanned
by the Optical Mark Reader/ Optical Character Reader (OMR/OCRs). This will be held
between 3rd and 20th November 2004.

the field. Some of the Questionnaires will be coded, edited and keyed into computers in
manual data entry operation while others will be scanned by OCR/OMR machines then,
the captured data will be analysed. Further more, written comments of field officers will
be used to produce a report of the first pre-test.

Activity 2.11b: Produce and submit to Commission report of the pre-test

26
Activity 2.12: Conduct Review Workshop on Census Instruments, Methodology and
Procedures

An in-house workshop to evaluate the results of the pre-test will be held. The workshop
will review census instruments, methodology and procedures in light of the results of the
pre-test. The workshop will be held in Abuja for 3 days.

Activity 2.13: Prepare a Tabulation and Logistics Plan for Trial Census and PES

The tabulation and logistics plans used in the pretest will be reviewed in the light of the
experience gathered from the test. Coding and editing manuals may also be reviewed as
appropriate.

Activity 2.14: Undertake other Preparatory fieldwork for the Trial Census and PES

identification of the sampled EAs.

Activity 2.15: Procure and Distribute Trial Census Materials

Census Questionnaires and forms, modified by inputs from the pretests will be produced
and used in the trial census. All questionnaires and other control forms will be printed
and distributed. All manuals will also be produced. The trial census will involve 5%
(five percent) of the estimated EAs of 350,000. Based on 17,500 EAs, about 1.7 million
copies of Form 01 and Form 07 will be produced in a machine-readable format, and
40,000 Enumerators’ manuals plus 5000 supervisors’ manuals. Control forms will be
appropriately produced.

Activity 2.16: Recruit and Train field staff for Trial Census

Supervisors and Enumerators will be recruited in the states for the trial census. About
38,500 enumerators and 3850 supervisors will be trained in a 3-stage training that will
include:

(a) A TOT in the headquarters

(b) A second training in the state capitals of training officers

(c) A third tier training for the supervisors and enumerators

The first training will last for 3 days. The second stage will last for 5 days while the last
stage will last for 8 days.

Activity 2.17: Conduct the Trial Census and PES.

The Trial Census will be conducted in April 2005. The exercise will serve as a dress
rehearsal for the conduct of the 2005 Population and Housing Census. Among the
objectives of the exercise are:

a. To test all arrangements already made for the census field organization;

27
b. To establish a full scale logistics support for the distribution of materials
and transportation of human and material resources within and between
local governments;

c. To establish a comprehensive programme and develop information and


advocacy techniques about the census;

during the census;

g. To evaluate the adequacy of data processing strategy established for


handling the census data;

h. To determine the comprehensiveness and usefulness of the list of


historical event as an aid for estimating the age of respondents;

i. To evaluate the effectiveness of the established method of training of


non-NPC staff who will be involved in the census exercise.

Activity 2.18: Train manual coders and editors.

Activity 2.19: Conduct coding and editing of trial Census and PES questionnaires

Activity 2.20: Coordinate data capture and data processing and conduct analysis of trial Census
data

Tasks under this activity will include retrieval of Questionnaires and other control forms from the field.
Only reject Questionnaires will be coded, edited and keyed into computers in manual data entry
operation. Census forms will be scanned by OCR/OMR. The captured data will be analyzed and reports
written.

Activity 2.21: Produce and submit to Commission report of the trial Census and PES.

Activity 2.22: Evaluate Trial Census Results at in-house Workshop

The results of the trial census will be evaluated at an in-house workshop with participants drawn from the
Commission’s Offices in all parts of the country. All manuals, control forms and logistics plans for the
conduct of the next Population and Housing Census will be finalized.

Activity 2.23: Undertake verification exercise for oversized/undersized EAS

Senior technical staff will undertake, on a regular basis, field monitoring visits to the EAs, to
verify/evaluate the EAs that are reported oversized or undersized.

28
OUTPUT 3

Conducted Census enumeration and post enumeration survey (PES) All over the Country

Activity 3.1: Procure and Distribute Census and PES Materials

The materials required for the census and PES will be procured under open and competitive bidding
procedures. Some of the materials will be procured in a decentralized manner, while some, such as the
questionnaires, which require stringent printing qualities, will be centrally procured and distributed to the
states and LGAs.

Activity 3.2: Recruit Training officers, supervisors, enumerators and other census field staff

For each state of the federation and Abuja, as well as for the LGAs, a Chief Training Officer and a
Principal Training officer, respectively, will be recruited. These will be recruited on contract basis for
the period of census and will be responsible for the training of census functionaries, especially
supervisors and enumerators. Supervisors will be recruited on the basis of one supervisor for one SA,
while two enumerators will be employed for an EA. The enumerators will be recruited from the localities
in which the EAs they are to cover are located. This was the arrangement adopted for the 1991 Census.
It was found quite effective and will be retained for the next Census.

Activity 3.3a: Train field staff for the Census

The training programme for the field functionaries will be in five phases (as was done in 1991 Census): -
(a) There will be an in-house training of Technical staff at Abuja/Lagos to last for 4 days for about
100 persons.

(b) Training of Chief and Principal Training Officers at Lagos, also to last for 5 days, for about 848
persons;

(c) Training at the state level of Facilitators including LGA comptrollers, resource persons and
selected staff of state and LGA offices to last for 5 days for 32,076 persons;

(d) Training at the LGA level for the:

(i) Supervisors for 6 days for 77,000 persons


(ii) Enumerators for 7 days for 770,000 persons

Activity 3.3b: Identify, accredit and deploy International and Local Observers for Census monitoring

Activity 3.4: Conduct Population and Housing Enumeration

The next Population and Housing Census will be conducted in November 2005. It will be a household
based de-facto census to be conducted by a team of one male and one female enumerator per EA.
Therefore, persons will be enumerated on sight wherever they happened to be and regardless of the place
of usual residence. There will be procedures for enumeration of transient population, homeless persons
and census functionaries.

29
A week before the actual enumeration, there will be Identification of EAs, House numbering and
household listing as well as the administration of the Housing Census Schedule.

Activity 3.5: Conduct Post Enumeration Survey (PES)

Two weeks after the actual enumeration, there will be the Post Enumeration Survey (PES), expected to
cover about 2% of all EAs, (about 7000 EAs). The PES will be used to collect additional data and as a
census evaluation tool.

Activity 3.6: Retrieve Census and PES instruments

All Questionnaires and other forms for both the census and the PES will be retrieved from the field to
each State headquarters; from where they will be moved to the relevant data processing center (7 DPCs
exist) using appropriate control forms.

OUTPUT 4

Increased Availability of Reliable, Accurate and up to Date Demographic, Socioeconomic, Health and
Housing Data.

With the completion of the preliminary processing of the Census and PES data, and the release of the
final results, there is a need to subject the data to further analysis to satisfy various needs of data users.
The output will provide detailed analysis of the Population and Housing Census and PES data at the
National, State and LGA levels. It will increase the availability of reliable, accurate and up to date
demographic, socio-economic, health and housing data needed for socioeconomic planning, research and
programme evaluation.

Activity 4.1a: Prepare Edit Rules

Activity 4.1b: Validate Quality of Computer Editing and set limits of error tolerance

Activity 4.1c: Train Manual Coders Editors

Activity 4.2: Undertake Coding and Editing Of Census and PES Questionnaires

Activity 4.3a: Coordinate data capture and data processing and conduct analysis Census data

Activity 4.3b: Produce and Submit To Commission Preliminary Report of the 2005 Population and
Housing Census

Data will be extracted from relevant summary forms to produce the census provisional results. This is
expected to be completed by June 2006.

Activity 4.3c: Produce and Submit To Commission Final Results and Report of the 2005 Population and
Housing Census

Activity 4.4: Develop Analytical Plan and Format of Presentation of Reports.

A plan will be adopted on the level and type of analysis as well as number of reports to be produced. This
will be undertaken by the Analysis Team; with the technical support of the CTA.

30
Activity 4.5: Conduct Further Analysis of Population and Housing Census and PES Data

The 2005 Population and Housing Census data will be analyzed to provide information for a variety of
data users. The analysis will be conducted for States and LGAs by various variables. The analyzed data
will be published as monographs. Various monographs on topics such as gender, fertility and mortality
for small areas, geographic zones and states, special populations etc. will be published at intervals. The
monographs will permit a comparison with those from 1991 Census data.

Summary statistics at national, state and LGA levels will also be published. When all training
programmes would have been completed and the data processing and analysis equipment such as
computers supplied, NPC would have acquired a good capacity and capability for further analysis of
census data. To achieve this, report writing workshops will be organized to create an ideal research and
writing environment.

Activity 4.6: Organize in-house Report Writing Workshops

After the data processing and table production, four (4) report writing workshops will be organized during
the data analysis phase. The Data Analysis Team will present the first draft of the Analytical Report to
NPC Experts for their inputs and possible revisions in the first workshop. Two (2) workshops will be
required for this activity.

Activity 4.7: Organize National Workshop on Census Report

The first draft of the Census Analytical Report will be presented to national experts from the academia,
research institutions etc. at Enugu. Their comments will be used to revise the document in a follow-up
workshop.

Activity 4.8: Organize Dissemination Seminars/workshops to Present Results of Further Analysis.

In order to disseminate results of the next Population and Housing Census to all interested users and
stakeholders, dissemination seminars and workshops will be organized at various periods of the project.
The Academia, governmental and non-governmental organizations will participate in the workshops. It is
proposed that three such workshops will be organized at various periods in Abeokuta, Uyo and Kano.
The workshop reports will then be updated by the Analysis Team and subsequently published and
disseminated.

Activity 4.9: Recruit Demographic Analysis Expert.

Activity 4.10: Undertake Population Projections

OUTPUT 5

Strengthened Capacity of NPC to Publish and Disseminate Population Data

For demographic data to be truly meaningful, it has to be properly evaluated, adequately analyzed and
widely disseminated to the users. The NPC will ensure that the next Population and Housing Census data
are widely disseminated. It will pay serious attention to speedy production of analytical reports and
subject specific monographs from the Census results. Marketing and dissemination strategies for census
data products, which will involve the full use of the Internet and computer readable media such as

31
diskettes/CD ROM, will be worked out. To aid in the dissemination process, a database will also be
established.

Activity 5.1: Procure Database Equipment in collaboration with ITD

Ten (10) high-speed computers will be procured for the database.

Activity 5.2: Set up a Comprehensive Population Database in collaboration with ITD

To facilitate dissemination of Census and PES results, as well as the integration of population variables
into development planning process, a population database that will be easily accessible to planners, policy
makers, researchers, etc will be established. The system will consist of a database and a set of analytical
methods to transform the data into usable information.

The NPC has no experience in building a Population Database. One CST Adviser will be required for six
weeks to assist in setting up the overall approach and to provide technical advice on the construction of a
population database. The consultant’s main responsibilities will include assessing the needs of NPC in
setting up population database, starting with 1991 Census data. The Adviser will organize in-house
training and the actual development of the prototype database. The in-house training expected to last 4
weeks will involve staff of the Commission (1 from each of the seven DPCs, and 2 from the
headquarters/Liaison office).

The NPC would start with the 1991 Census as the benchmark; gradually add the 1991 PES data, the 1999
NDHS data and the Sentinel Survey data to the base. Subsequently, the next Population and Housing
Census and PES data will be added. The database would be organized to store both macro and micro-
level data. The latter can be retrieved and processed at small area levels, using state of the art computers
and software packages. A full fledged and functional database will be established.

Activity 5.3: Publish with ITD and Carto administrative, statistical and other reports

Activity 5.4: Prepare jointly with PAD effective Dissemination Plan

To effectively execute this activity, an IEC/Advocacy Adviser will be engaged for 2 weeks to prepare an
effective dissemination plan.

Activity 5.5: Organize workshops on utilization of Census data

Activity 5.6: Conduct Orientation Workshop on new Dissemination Plan

A 3-day training workshop for 7 DPC staff, 37 state and 6 headquarters staff will be conducted. The
training to be undertaken by the consultant will focus mainly on IEC/Advocacy thematic area.

Activity 5.7: Coordinate/Work with ITD to ensure Census Results are posted on Web-site

Activity 5.8: Disseminate Census and PES Data

All monographs/publications/tables etc. generated from 2001 Population and Housing Census will be
disseminated to all interested groups such as government (Federal, State and LGA), Education and
Research Institutions, Ministries and Agencies in all geographic areas of the country. Among the
publications and monographs to be produced are:

OUTPUT 6: Established Census Tribunals to adjudicate on census complaints

To provide an avenue to contest census results, census tribunals will be established, one in each
of the six-geo-political zones. To facilitate this process, the National Population Commission
will request the Federal Ministry of Justice to set up the Tribunals as soon as the final results of
the 2005 census are released.

ACTIVITY 6.1: Constitute Census Tribunals.


To facilitate the quick process of hearing complaints, a tribunal will be constituted in
each of the six Geo-political zones of the country. The tribunals will adjudicate on
petitions/complaints received from component states in a zone within a specified period of say,
six to twelve months.

ACTIVITY 6.2: Undertake field verifications of the localities that are subject of dispute

To facilitate adequate defense of petitions/complaints by the Commission, prompt field


verifications of areas in dispute will be carried out by competent officers of the Commission.
The results of the verifications plus the Census 2005 field returns will be helpful to the
Commission’s defense lawyers.

ACTIVITY 6.3: Recruit Defense Lawyers

The Commission will engage the services of suitable lawyers (e.g. SAN) for its defence at the
various Tribunals.

ACTIVITY 6.4: Conduct re-enumeration of affected localities

Wherever a tribunal orders a re-count, the Commission will, within a reasonably short period of
time undertake a re-enumeration of the affected localities. In such cases, adequate field
mechanisms will be put in place to ensure that the re-count is conducted to the satisfaction of all
interested stakeholders.

ACTIVITY 6.5: Publish Census Tribunal Reports

34
To ensure transparency and engender public confidence, the Census department, in collaboration
with the legal unit and the PAD, will compile and publish the various judgments from the
tribunals.

SUPERVISION, ASSESSMENT AND CONTROL OF FIELD OPERATIONS

In the course of implementing the 2005 Census project, the CD will organize and coordinate the
following monitoring and evaluation plan. The monitoring strategy will be a combination of field visits
and routine, regular reporting from various levels - LGAs, and States. In addition, there will be meetings
at least every fortnight to review the reports and give necessary and urgent feedback instructions to the
relevant field operators.

From the work plan, the following activities will require periodic field visits from the Headquarters and
States:-
1. Field Activities for the Pretest:-

The Chairman of the Commission, the Commissioners, Director-General, Directors and Senior Officers of
the Commission will visit the States to supervise and monitor distribution of pretest materials. They will
also travel to the Local Government Areas to supervise the training of Supervisors and Enumerators and
the conduct of the pretest.

2. Field Activities for the Trial Census:-

The same categories of officers will supervise the distribution of materials for the Trial Census in the
States. Outside observers will monitor the exercise. They will monitor the training of supervisors and
enumerators in all 774 Local Governments and the actual enumeration.

3. Undertake Verification Exercise for Oversized/Undersized EAs:-

After the evaluation of Trial Census Reports at an in-house workshop, senior officers of the department
will undertake tours to problem E.As, verify and recommend amendments.

4. Conduct of the 2005 Population and Housing Census:-

The actual Census will involve training large number of census field staff - facilitators and enumerators.
Their training will be in phases. The Chairman, Commissioners, Director-General and the Technical
Officers of the Commission will monitor the training to ensure the internalization of the Census
procedures and concepts by all the field staff.

During the actual enumeration, the above mentioned officers of the Commission, including independent
observers will travel to the States to ensure adequate and timely provision of materials and logistics
support. They will also monitor enumeration at various towns, and attend to identified or reported short
comings.

5. Conduct Post Enumeration Survey (PES):-

Principal Officers of the Commission will travel to the States to supervise the PES in the selected EAs.

CHAPTER FIVE: CENSUS MAPPING AND GIS
Introduction:

This component covers all collection and thematic aspects of census mapping in Nigeria. There is a need to
strengthen the country’s capacity to develop competence and efficiency in census mapping as well as maintain the
resources and materials acquired over the years. This component covers activities for pre-enumeration, enumeration
and immediate post-census period.

Purpose:

Census cartography essentially provides censuses and surveys with an accurate geographic frame to ensure
distinctiveness of units of enumeration. The purpose is to ascertain that the units of enumeration are not overlapping
and that they are collectively exhaustive. The Enumeration Area Demarcation (EAD) divides the country into
individual enumerator assignment areas for the census. Any given point in the surface of Nigeria must be
demarcated into only one enumeration area (EA).

These EAs would serve as the basis for spatial analysis of demographic indices. It is important to build up an
accurate and professionally acceptable spatial frame with its accompanying geographic databases for the census.
These would make the population data of the country suitable for all conceivable spatial location / allocation policies
and decision-making. Furthermore, the development of the databases and their management must take advantage of
the most current Information Technology (IT) and Geographic Information System (GIS) innovations and analysis.

Objectives:
The following objectives stand out, particularly considering the situation in Nigeria:

1. To develop a sustainable skilled workforce in terms of technological know-how and


competence in planning and administering census mapping;

2. To upgrade the census cartographic frame to an internationally acceptable standard


during the EAD work;

3. To systematically adopt digital cartography and GIS innovations. This will make the
census and survey data more useful and therefore, marketable;

4. To devote effort and resources to post-census mapping, which has been neglected in the
past. This constitutes the full-scale use of census data.

In view of the above, the census cartography and GIS component should consist of the
following four outputs:

Output 1:
Strengthened capacity to develop human and material resources for effective collection mapping.
Output 2:
Established collection mapping to an internationally acceptable standard for maximum utility in
demographic analysis and dissemination of population data.
Output 3:
Established and developed digital cartographic databases for census mapping using Geographic
Information System (GIS).
Output 4:
Developed and published thematic maps of population data and a gazetteer of place names of all
localities.

OUTPUT 1:

37
Strengthened Capacity to Develop Human and Material Resources for effective Collection Mapping:

Activity 1.1: Undertake an inventory of available maps and cartographic equipment.

An inventory is taken of available maps and map products, e.g., topographic, cadastral / urban, town
planning, administrative, air-photos, ortho-photos, satellite images, EA / SA sketches, LGA maps, etc. In
addition, an inventory of cartographic equipment and materials is taken in order to ascertain future
requirements.

Activity 1.2: Develop the map archives system.

The storage, recording and retrieval of available maps are as important as the acquisition of the materials
themselves. The NPC requires good archival accommodation and standard procedures – cabinets and shelves with
an efficient computerised filing system. The archives must be air-conditioned and conducive for long-term storage
of maps and map products.

Activity 1.3: Rehabilitate the printing and reprographic units.

At present the Printing Unit has a Solnar 125 offset press, a guillotine, stitcher, numbering machine, etc.
There are also obsolete plan printers and unserviceable photocopiers at HQs and state offices. These
need to be refurbished and/or replaced. Heavy-duty copiers / plan printers / plotters are essential
necessities.

Activity 1.4: Rent accommodation for Cartography/GIS Laboratory.

Temporary rented accommodation is required for the Cartography/GIS Laboratory for a period of about
two years whilst permanent offices are constructed.

Activity 1.5: Recruit an International Adviser in Census Cartography / GIS.

An international resident Adviser in Census Cartography / GIS is required for a period of about two years
to train the staff and advise and monitor the development of digital mapping and GIS in the Cartography
Department.

Activity 1.6: Arrange CST missions in Census Cartography.

A clear strategy to build up a sustainable census mapping work force should be established. A
UNFPA/CST Adviser / Census Cartographic Consultant is required to supervise and nurture viable
census mapping programme. The adviser/consultant would consult with, train, and supervise the staff in
different aspects of census cartography. Periodic missions should be made to monitor the development
and progress of the census mapping programme.

Activity 1.8: Acquire base maps and high-resolution imagery.

Topographic and cadastral base maps for initial preparations are required. Some of these have been procured while
others are yet to be acquired. These maps will require scale changes, updating, field verification and reproduction to
facilitate field demarcation. Ortho-rectified, geo-referenced satellite imagery of the major cities in the country are
required in the absence of current up-to-date large scale maps in the country to build up a reliable and accurate
geographic frame for census and surveys. As much as possible it will be necessary to develop an EA database of the
country based upon an image map model with EA boundaries embedded upon it.

Activity 1.9: Prepare and print the GPS Recording Manual and Grid Guides for States and LGAs.

38
The Cartography Department will align future EA/SAs to the Universal Transverse Mercator (UTM) grid
frame of mapping by using the Global Positioning System (GPS). Nigeria is extensive, covering three
UTM zones. Intensive training is required to align or link the EA database to a single mapping frame for
the country. The foundation for achieving this desirable long-term goal should be set out now.

Activity 1.10: Construct Cartography / GIS laboratories complex at the NPC new site, Abuja.

Construction of a cartographic / GIS laboratory complex is required in order to provide accommodation for
the different laboratories and map archives at HQs.

Activity 1.11: Hold administrative consultations with state offices on purchase of maps and verification of
cartographic work.

Senior officers of the Department will be required to travel to the State Survey Offices and other mapping
agencies in the country to inspect available maps and certify their utility before acquisition. Furthermore,
there will be sundry administrative reasons for sending officers to the state offices for some cartographic
work verification and consultations with clients / agencies.

Activity 1.12: Recruit 37 local cartographic software consultants and 37 EAD local consultants for state
offices.

Cartographic software experts are required in each State office to oversee, monitor and maintain
standards of performance in the conversion of the field plotted EAD maps to digital format. EAD local
consultants are required to monitor field progress of EAD and assess the quality of field returns.

OUTPUT 2:

Established Collection Mapping to an Internationally Acceptable Standard for Maximum Utility in


Demographic Analysis and Dissemination of Population Data.

Activity 2.1: Organise an in-house and six geo-political zonal seminars to develop the locality lists.

NPC will liaise with LGA administrative authorities to develop locality lists for the census. National and
zonal seminars will be held to finalise the locality lists.

Activity 2.2: Print and distribute the locality lists.

After all checks have been undertaken, six copies of each locality list will be printed for the LGAs.

Activity 2.3: Organise meetings of the EAD Training and Reference Manual Review Committee.

In view of the methodological and technological changes since the 1991 census, there is a need to review
and revise the manual. Members of the committee should be selected from Cartography, Information
Technology and the Census Departments of the Commission.

Activity 2.4: Conduct workshop on revision of the EAD Field Manual.

The EAD manual is an important document for census operations. Before adopting it there is a need to
give other professionals a chance to make an input. This workshop should embrace the whole
Commission and professionals from the Nigerian populace in general. The recommendations and inputs
from this workshop and the pilot EAD will help to refine the manual.

Activity 2.5: Print and distribute 12,000 copies of the EAD Field Manual.

A copy of the field manual will be required for training each EAD Demarcator and Supervisor.

39
Activity 2.6: Conduct Phase I EAD fieldwork in 6 states and FCT.

Phase I EAD involves one LGA in each of the six geo-political zones and one council area of the FCT in
order to take account of different logistics, settlement patterns and terrain. A summary of the timing and
coverage of the EAD phases is stated below.

Phase I EAD consists of 7 LGAs from 1st to 30th July 2004.


Phase II EAD consists of 37 LGAs from 1st to 30th September 2004.
Phase III EAD consists 730 LGAs from 1st week January 2005 to end of July 2005.

NOTE: All EAD field exercises will be done simultaneously in all LGAs as stipulated.

Activity 2.7: Conduct Phase II EAD Fieldwork in 37 LGAs.

Phase II EAD fieldwork consists of a Training of Trainers (ToT) and training of field functionaries to work
in one LGA per State. The actual field demarcation will last for 30 days.

Activity 2.8: Acquire and distribute Cartographic Equipment and Materials to HQs, States and LGAs.

Various items of cartographic equipment and materials are required. A list of these items is attached in
the Appendix – Specifications of Cartographic Equipment.

Note: 4WD station wagons and pick-ups will be required for carrying
personnel, equipment and materials in all states and LGAs. They will be
used for the EAD and GPS fieldwork, pre-tests, trial census, main
enumeration, PES and post-census surveys. The cost of vehicles is
included in the Logistics budget.

Activity 2.9: Maintain cartographic and xerographic equipment.

Regular servicing schedules of cartographic and xerographic equipment must be established. There should be
standing maintenance contracts with both manufacturers and dealers of all non-consumable cartographic, printing
and reprographic equipment.

Activity 2.10: Recruit 7 local Computer / Cartographic Hardware Maintenance Engineers, one per zone.

Computer hardware systems support engineers should be engaged on a zonal basis to regularly service and maintain
the systems in the HQs and state offices.

Note: This activity was transferred to the IT Department budget.

Activity 2.11: Prepare Base Maps at HQs for States and LGAs.

The NPC requires grid guides at various levels of maps – urban areas, LGAs, states and the national
level – to enable proper alignment of the EAs. Scale changes are needed on the base maps for use in
the field.

Activity 2.12: Recruit field staff for Phase III EAD.

There are 774 LGAs in the country and in order to complete EAD within schedule, the work will be done
simultaneously in each LGA. Therefore, a large number of field personnel will be required, and as far as
possible, these will be recruited locally. Eight Demarcators and two Supervisors per LGA are
recommended, and approximately 9,000 Demarcators and Supervisors, including reserves, will be
recruited. In addition, local EAD consultants (one per State) will be recruited as resource persons to
monitor and evaluate EAD field returns.

40
Activity 2.13: Conduct Phase III EAD Fieldwork for 730 LGAs in 36 states and FCT.

There will be ToT, then training of all field functionaries to work simultaneously in all outstanding LGAs in
each State. The actual fieldwork is expected to last seven months. About 9,000 Demarcators/Supervisors
will be required for the exercise.

Activity 2.14: Conduct GPS training for 4 officers per State and 2 from FCT.

Four officers per State and two from FCT Abuja will be trained for 4 days in the FCT to undertake the
remaining GPS recording in the States and FCT. GPS Operators will work with the Demarcators at each
Phase of the EAD exercise.

Activity 2.15: Undertake field monitoring and evaluation of EAD work.

Regular monitoring and evaluation by NPC staff from HQs and states (and EAD consultants from states),
will be required to monitor and evaluate EAD fieldwork to maintain quality control and ensure its
completion on schedule.

Activity 2.16: Undertake state-level scanning and digital fair drawing of field plotted EA maps.

At least two (2) officers (not below GL 08) per state require training in digital graphic design. All field
returns of plotted EA maps properly checked by field Supervisors and EAD consultants will be scanned
and fair-drawn using computers by these officers in the state office. Supervisors must return detected
errors on EA plots to the Demarcators, while monitors/resource persons will recommend sending back
detected errors to Supervisors. Plotted EA maps from the field should be scanned only after state level
checks. And before transmission to the HQs, the software consultants will view all compact disks (CDs) of
EAs on screen.

Activity 2.17: Retrieve field plotted and fair drawn EA maps from state offices.

On a monthly basis, the monitoring and evaluation officers will forward all field returns at the state offices
to HQs. Copies of original scanned EA maps and digital fair drawn EA maps will be sent to HQs on CDs
through the monitors.

Activity 2.18: Organise quality control of EAD field returns at HQs.

Centralized quality control is necessary to maintain uniform standards. Quality control guides will be
produced for the checks at different levels. At HQs, standards, completeness and grid alignments will be
checked. Final numbering and codes of EAs and Supervision Areas (SAs) will be verified at the NPC
Headquarters.

Activity 2.19: Create data sets of all GPS readings from the field and plot them by LGAs

Activity 2.20: Enlarge / reduce and fair draw Supervision Area (SA) maps.

The EA maps will be fair drawn at the state offices. From three to five EAs will form an SA. Supervisors
should recommend EA groupings to form an SA based on contiguity and locality of EAs. These will be
checked and/or endorsed or modified by State Directors before recommendation to Headquarters. In
addition, EA/SA codes and locality codes will be recommended in the same manner from the State to the
HQs before final reproduction.

Activity 2.21: Reproduce and distribute EA / SA maps to state offices.

41
The required copies of the EA / SA maps will be printed and sent to the states for the pre-tests, trial
census, main enumeration and PES.

OUTPUT 3:

Established and Developed Digital Cartographic Database and Geographic Information System (GIS).

Activity 3.1: Acquire GIS hardware and software.

The GIS and digital cartography laboratory will require the following hardware and software: high capacity
computers, digitizers, scanners, plotters, printers, GIS and mapping software, and other accessories and
consumables. Software updates will be required as necessary.

Note: Budget costs are included in Activity 2.8.

Activity 3.2: Recruit 2 local Geo-database Consultants.

Two local Geo-database Consultants is required to assist with the design of different geographic
relational databases.

Activity 3.3: Recruit a local Cartographic Software Consultant.

A local Cartographic Software Consultant is required to facilitate and supervise the use of software by officers.

Activity 3.5a: Scan and digitise base maps.

All base maps will be scanned and digitised, including all LGAs and states maps as well as cadastral
maps. Staff will be trained on database design so that once the maps are scanned / digitised, databases
will be created. The EA line maps database will be linked to the satellite image map model to enhance
positional and elevation accuracy.

Activity 3.5b: Geo-reference and plot all fair drawn EA maps to correct all gaps and overlaps.

Activity 3.6: Model EA databases and integrate geo-referencing on EA / SA maps.

The EA maps derived from the EAD fieldwork require intensive modelling to achieve exact fit nationally. This
constitutes the National EA Frame, which hereafter may be continuously updated.

Activity 3.7: Create and link, (using GIS) geographic and EA data bases, in collaboration with other
departments to serve the commission and the public.

This will involve the full development and operation of the GIS linking all databases. This includes providing
services on line via the internet.

Activity 3.8: Development and continuous updating of cartographic databases.

Cartographic databases will be developed for various analytical works. After the census, continual updating of these
databases will be implemented via continual field updating in the LGAs.

Activity 3.9: Aggregation and Disaggregation of Databases.

Analysis and simulation of query models often require aggregation and disaggregation of data. For various
demographic and location / allocation analysis, different GIS software would be applied to aggregate or disaggregate
datasets to create new files and new datasets in order to meet the requirements of the public and planners.

42
OUTPUT 4:

Developed and Published National and Regional Thematic Maps of Population Data, and a Gazetteer of
Place Names of all Localities.

Note: Activities under Output 4 will be carried out in collaboration with the
Census and Information Technology Departments of NPC.

Activity 4.1: Further updating of EAs in each LGA for census reports.

Further updating of the EA maps in the field is required after the census in order that trained cartographic
staff can properly update approximate amendments made by the Enumerators. This matching process to
update the EA database may be done in an average of 30 EAs per LGA and will assist in having accurate
EA maps for the census reports.

Activity 4.2: Computing areas (in sq.km) of all localities, LGAs and states.

GIS software will be used to compute the areas (in sq.km) for all urban areas, LGAs and states. The figures will be
adjusted to agree with the accepted national total.

Activity 4.3: Prepare maps and graphs for census and other reports.

Different thematic maps will be designed for the computed population indices and parameters. Other
graphs of national interest will also be produced for planning purposes.

Activity 4.4: Preparation of maps for census reports.

Research and study reports often require specialised maps and diagrams at macro and micro-levels.
These will be produced as required.

Activity 4.5: Organise workshops for national and sub-national Population Atlases.

A full-scale national atlas covering different demographic aspects of the country, regions and states will
be designed at workshops and then produced. In addition, atlases showing more detailed information at
state level will also be prepared

Activity 4.6: Compile and produce a gazetteer of place names.

A committee will prepare the format, make compilations by LGA level, and produce a gazetteer of place names.

Activity 4.7: Recruit three local Consultant for the GIS Component

Three local GIS consultants who are familiar with the work would be required to give independent second opinion at
the development stages and linkages of the cartographic databases and attribute datasets. This would orient the
overall EA data-frame for research purposes.

SUPERVISION, ASSESSMENT AND CONTROL OF FIELD OPERATIONS

Supervision, assessment and control of field work will consist of field visits, report submission and
feedback as well as meetings of evaluation.

1. Meetings of Evaluation

43
A monthly meeting of the Census Technical Group will be held to discuss progress and problems
experienced in the EAD work. At these meetings, the Director (Carto) will brief the CTG and submit a
summary of the field experiences and problems. The CTG will, in turn, brief the Commission Standing
Committee on Cartography.

2. Report Submission and Feedback

Field demarcators will submit completed EAs to the supervisors on daily basis, with a certification or
endorsement from the supervisors confirming receipt. However, report form or check list will be prepared
for reporting from the supervisors to the State Director and to the Headquarters. These check list report
forms will be properly dated and their receipts recorded.

3. Field Visits

a. The following levels of field visits during the EAD are recommended: Supervisors
should visit demarcators on daily basis as much as possible. The onus is on the
supervisor to ensure daily contact. In very difficult terrain or difficult riverine areas,
there should be contact between supervisor and demarcators at least once in three days.

a. The State Director is expected to visit the Local Government Areas to see the
supervisors and demarcators weekly. Supervisors are expected to furnish the State
Director with the weekly schedule of the two sets of demarcators in the LGA indicating
clearly the locality and the area of demarcation scheduled for the week. This will reduce
time wasted in search-time for supervisors and demarcators during State Directors visits.

The supervisors will handover to the State Director the following reports during
their meeting:

1. The completed EAs with the field graph sheet plot and the field notes covering
the details of the EAs;

2. The checklist report form properly completed by the supervisor detailing work
completed in a week.

The State Director’s feedback to the supervisor will be based on his checks of the Report
Form collected as well as his evaluation of accuracy of the EA graph sheet plots. The
State Director will also complete his report form. The first level of fair drawing of the
EA will be done in the State office.

The third level of field visit is from the Headquarters to the state offices. One officer will visit each
state. A total of thirty-seven officers from the Headquarters will visit the states for three days a month for
monitoring.

The responsibility is on the Headquarters to ensure that the visit is done properly and regularly as
recommended. The following should be submitted to the Director,
Cartography, monthly:

a. All completed EAs in the State;

b. The Report form of the State Director;

44
c. Official Report of the monitoring officer for each trip covering
progress and problems in the State’s demarcation exercise.

3. Finally, once a month, the Director - Cartography will present a report on the
progress of the demarcation to the CTG which will report to the Commission Standing
Committee on Cartography.

4. The Chairman, Commissioners and the Director-General may visit any State or LGA of their
choice to have a first hand evaluation of the demarcation. They should make bi-monthly
visits to the field.

The same officers monitoring the EAD exercise will also monitor the GPS Recordings in the States. GPS
Team of recorders will make returns to State Director.

Visits to the zonal DPCs

In the course of implementing the 2005 Census Data Processing, the ITD will organize and
coordinate a number of visits of senior officers of the Commission at the headquarters to the
various DPCs. In addition, there will be meetings at least every forth-night to review the reports
and give necessary and urgent feedback instructions to the relevant field operators. Also a
computer assisted monitoring application (using CENTRACK, module of IMPS) will be
implemented to track the EAs through the main post enumeration phases. These are:
reception, manual editing/coding, data capture, comparison of manual counts with the computer
counts. The application will also facilitate the production of progress reports anytime during the
data processing activities as well as the check of coverage.

1. Reception of Census Questionnaires from the field

At least four days after the conduct of the 2005 Population Census & Housing, the
questionnaires and other census documents will arrive at the DPCs. It is
expected that management at the Headquarters will supervise the delivery of
these Census documents from various State Offices to the DPCs. Various
items as contained in the transmittal form will be cross-examined to ensure
that,

51
i) The number of booklets as contained in the transmittal form corresponds with
the physical booklets received on each EA and SA. The date of reception of
each EA would be posted in the application.

ii) All the enumerators’ names and supervisors’ names appear on each booklet.

iii) Where there are no returns on a particular EA/SA, accompanying supervisors report
will provide answers to the problem.

iv) Where there is no clue, the Comptroller for the LGA will be asked to proceed
to the field and provide answers to the problem. It is expected that this will be
monitored once a month.

After cross-checking the transmittal forms, the dates of reception of the EAs will be
posted in the CENTRACK application.

2. Manual Editing/Coding

There are basic standards on archiving system that must be followed while
doing the manual coding/editing. The CENTRACK form that will keep track of
movement of the census documents to various sections of the DPC must be
followed so that retrieval of these documents will not present any problem. Regular
monthly visits will be needed on this activity. The date of completion of EAs during
this phase will be posted in the CENTRACK application.

3. Data Capture

The data capture activity will require monitoring on fortnightly basis to ensure that basic
standards on archiving are followed while doing the data capture. The data capture
CENTRACK form will be used here so that retrieval of these documents will not present
any problem. The expected progress of work as set at System Design will be cross-
checked with what is on the ground. Administrative actions will be taken to redress
problems where applicable.

The date each EA is completely captured will be posted in the CENTRACK application.

4. Computer Editing

Edit rules would be jointly developed by IT and subject matter specialists. These would be
used to detect and correct content errors (range and consistency). The date of completion
of the EAs in this phase will be posted in the CENTRACK application. Detailed error
statistics will be produced for necessary action.

1. Compare Manual Counts with Computer Counts

The computer counts would be compared with manual counts with a predefined tolerance. If
the discrepancy is within tolerable limit, the EA is accepted, otherwise it will be rejected and

52
re-cycled. Based on the various forms the date of completion of both phases would be
posted in the application

2. Transmitting the Data to Headquarters

Completed clean data shall be transmitted to the Headquarters. On receipt of each Local
Government Area clean data, it will be subjected to further editing at the Headquarters for
missing EAs and unknown EAs, not in the CENTRACK frame.

The tables produced will be scrutinized and subjected to consistency cross-checking before
they are released or published.

Activity 3.4: Train three officers in GPS information processing and process GPS data.

In view of the large number of cartographers in the NPC requiring the acquisition of GPS skills,
training will be required. Considering the limited facilities available locally, the emphasis will be
on overseas training.

Information Technology and Data Processing:

64
Activity 1.2: Train staff on IMPS and CSPro (International workshop)

IMPS and CSPro will be used for Census 2005 data processing. Staff would be trained on
IMPS and CSPro at International Programs Centre (IPC), Washington D.C by last quarter
of 2004.

Activity 1.3: Train three (3) senior officers on Management Information Systems

For effective planning and management in an organization, statistical and management


information must be available to top hierarchy, from time to time. Such parametric information
must be timely packaged and delivered in such a way as to assist policy formulation. This broad
objective can only be accomplished after relevant training in an appropriate overseas institution
(e.g. RIPA Int. London). The training is for three senior officers in the first quarter of 2005.

Activity 1.6: Undertake Study Tours

Study tours will be organized in the second quarter of 2005 for two (2) managers to USA,

SPECIAL RESEARCH FOR CENSUS 2005

Activity 1.9: Conduct Research and Produce Reports on Special Populations

Activity 1.10: Compile List of Historical Events as an aid to better quality age data

65
CHAPTER NINE: CENSUS LOGISTIC SUPPORT
OUTPUT 1:

Established Logistics Support to Facilitate Conduct of 2005 Census

To achieve this output, a number of activities which include procurement of vehicles, speed
boats, canoes, motorcycles, bicycles and hiring of airplanes and helicopters will be undertaken.
Other activities to be carried out include construction and rehabilitation of stores, equipment and
plant in the headquarters, states and LGAs and purchase of first aid boxes and drugs. The
achievement of this output will enable timely movement of personnel, materials and equipment,
before, during and after the forthcoming census and PES.

Activity 1.1: Procurement of 4-wheel Drive Vehicles

Four Wheel Drive (4WD) vehicles will be used throughout the EAD exercise and census
enumeration due to the difficult terrain and bad roads in many States of Nigeria. A total number
of 843 four-wheel drives is needed to service all the LGAs.

For the effective monitoring/supervision of all census activities, the Chairman, 37


Commissioners and the Director-General of the NPC will need 4-wheel Drive vehicles.

Activity 1.3: Procure Pick-up vehicles

Due to the large quantity of materials to be transported during the census, pick-up vehicles will
be required to move majority of the ancillary materials to the LGAs.

Activity 1.4: Procure 17 Flying Boats

Due to the difficult accessibility in riverine States of Bayelsa, Rivers, Akwa Ibom, Cross River,
Edo, Benue, Kebbi, Kwara, Niger, Lagos, Delta, Ondo, Ogun, Borno and Kogi; Speed Boats
will be needed for the census operations. Seventeen (17) will be needed to effectively cover the
above listed States.

Activity 1.5: Procure Motorcycles

In order to ensure faster movement of demarcators in areas without motorable roads, motorcycles
will be needed for the census operations. A minimum of two (2) motorcycles will be used in
each of the 774 LGAs, while 39 will be used at the headquarters/Liaison office hence a total of
1587 motorcycles will be needed/required.

Activity 1.6: Hire Canoes

66
Besides the riverine areas that need speed boats, some localities in the hinterland can only be
reached by canoes. Such localities are mostly in States with major rivers in Nigeria. The
number of canoes depends on the number of localities to be covered in the affected States, but
budget provision will be made for this activity.

Activity 1.7: Procure Bicycles

To reach areas where any type of motorized transportation is impossible, bicycles will be used.
Each of the 774 LGAs will require a minimum of 2 bicycles for a total of 1548.

Activity 1.8: Procure Steel Van Lorries, 10 Ton Diesel Engine Model

To guarantee the security of census materials and the large quantities to be transported, Bedford
Steel Van Lorries will be needed for the census. Each State and Abuja will be serviced by one
(1) lorry and five (5) will operate from the headquarters/Liaison office. This requirement is for
42 lorries.

Activity 1.9: Procure 30-Seater Buses

In order to facilitate the transportation of census staff, especially those on shift duties, and those
closing late, staff buses will be required. One (1) staff bus will be needed in each State/Abuja
while five (5) will be used at the headquarter/Liaison office for a total of 42.

Activity 1.10: Fuel and maintain Vehicles/Motorcycles

Due to the extensive use of vehicles and motorcycles, adequate provision for fuelling and
maintenance will be made.

Activity 1.11: Hire Aeroplane/Helicopters

Some parts of Nigeria will not be reached easily and quickly either by boat/canoe or road, like
the Mambilla plateau. It will therefore be neccessary to airlift census materials and personnel to
the nearest point for distribution to the affected EAs.

Activity 1.12: Hire Horses/Donkeys

In order to transport men and materials to some areas that cannot be reached either by
motorcycles or bicycles, horses/donkeys will be used.

Activity 1.13: Distribute Trial Census materials to States and LGAs

In order to ensure adequate and timely distribution of Trial Census materials to State, LGAs and
EAs, Census Logistics Committees will be in charge of the exercise. Thirty seven senior

67
officers will be in charge of materials for all the States and Abuja. All the materials will be
estimated based on the number of EAs in each State.

Activity 1.14: Distribute Census and PES materials to States and LGAs

In order to ensure adequate and timely distribution of Census and PES materials to States, LGAs
and EAs, Census Logistics Committees will be in charge of the exercise. Thirty seven senior
officers will be in charge of materials for all the States and Abuja. All the materials will be
estimated based on the number of EAs in each State.

Activity 1.15: Provide Effective and Functional Communication Network

In order to facilitate census field operations, functional communications network will be


established in the Headquarters, Liaison Office and State Offices. This activity will include the
provision of telephone lines, mobile phones, acquisition of two-way communication equipment,
the provision of Internet connectivity and functional power supply (generators) to ensure
constant communication with field officers.

Activity 1.16: Acquire Computers And Accessories For Headquarters/State Offices

One hundred (100) State of the art Desktop Computers and 20 Computer notebooks will be
procured and distributed to officers in the Headquarters, Liaison Office and State Offices. These
computers which will be connected in Local Area Network (LAN) will facilitate the work of
statisticians and planners in the Commission. Secretaries of key officials of the Commission will
be provided with computers to facilitate word processing.

Activity 1.17: Construct and Rehabilitate Stores, Equipment and Plant

This activity involves the refurbishing of stores in the headquarters, states and LGAs where the
existing ones are already dilapidated, and construction in places where there none, to cope with
the volume of materials required for the next census. The activity will also involve procurement
of spare parts for equipment and plant in the commission.

Activity 1.18: Procure First Aid Kits and Drugs

These are needed for emergency first aid treatment during the EAD, pre-test, trial census and the
main census and PES.

68
CHAPTER TEN: EXECUTION AND IMPLEMENTATION
MODALITIES
The National Population Commission is the implementing agency for the 2005 Nigerian Census and
derives its legal authority from the 1999 Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. The NPC has
offices in all the States and Local Government Areas of the Federation. In addition, there are seven zonal
data processing centres equipped with data processing facilities and personnel.

The Commission is made up of eight departments and a secretariat: Census, (CD), Cartography (Carto),
Information Technology (ITD), Vital Registration (VRD), Finance and Accounts (FAD), Administration
and Supplies (ASD), Public Affairs (PAD) and Planning and Research Departments. The Census
Department is principally responsible for census planning, budgeting and administration. Planning and
Research Department is responsible for planning and research activities of the Commission. The Carto
Department is responsible for the demarcation and update of Enumeration Areas (EAs) in the country, the
creation of geo-databases for census mapping and the GIS. The ITD is responsible for processing data
from censuses and surveys, while the VRD is responsible for the universal registration of births and
deaths as well as the collection and collation of international migration statistics. The PAD is responsible
for Advocacy and IEC including public enlightenment campaigns for censuses and allied activities of the
Commission. The FAD is a service department, responsible for finance matters. Lastly, the ASD is
responsible for staff recruitment, staff promotion and general welfare as well as stores and equipment.
The commission has qualified and capable staff to cope with the implementation of the activities in this
project.

The Commission has a Chairman and 37 members with the Director-General as an Ex-Officio member.
The commission secretariat is the administrative support for the 37 member commission. Each
department is headed by a Director, while divisions within departments are headed by Deputy Directors.
The day to day running of departments is under the supervision of Directors, who report to the Director-
General. The Director-General, is the technical head of the Commission and the accounting officer. He
reports to the Chairman, who is the Chief Executive of the Commission.

The State offices are supervised by Federal by Commissioners, with State Directors as heads and
accounting officers, while the Local Government offices are headed by Comptrollers.

The NPC has gained experience in the conduct of censuses and other related activities including:

™ the further analysis of the census data,

™ Sentinel Surveys of the National Population Policy and

™ Nigeria Demographic and Health Surveys (NDHS).

Furthermore, the NPC has some material resources that could be deployed to execute the project.
Virtually all the computers in the seven DPCs are obsolete. However, the NPC has recently acquired
some computers for the GIS laboratory, courtesy of the UNFPA, and for the processing and analysis of
NDHS data, courtesy of the USAID. These will be of assistance in the project activities. Also, the
Commission has a Printing Press (donated by the Government of Netherlands for the civil registration
project), which, with some refurbishment, will be effectively utilized in the data dissemination and
advocacy activities proposed in this project.

69
NPCs operations are, in general, decentralized. It has a network of offices covering all the 774 LGAs, 37
States and the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), as well as 7 DPCs. As it was for the 1991 census, the
LGA will continue to be the unit of operations for the 2005 census activities. Therefore, the execution of
this project will be decentralized.

Each group of related activities will be executed by a relevant department: the Census Department will be
responsible for the census component, consisting of such activities as the design of census documents,
Pre-test, training, census enumeration and PES, data analysis and census logistics, among others. The
Cartography Department will be responsible for EAD, mapping, cartographic automation and the GIS.
The Information Technology Department will be responsible for the IT component while the Public
Affairs Department will be in charge of the Advocacy and IEC activities.

In the execution of this project, the Commission will be able to draw on the expertise of the following
census committees proposed to be established:

(1) Census Technical Group (CTG). This committee is composed of all Directors, heads of
technical departments and divisions, the Chief Technical Adviser and the Cartography
Adviser. The committee will be responsible for deliberating on all technical matters
including census and PES methodology, definition of concepts, questionnaire format
and content, tabulation and work plans, Data Processing, EAD and GIS methodology
and Publicity schedule.

(1) National Census Advocacy Committee. This will be made up of the Vice President of
the Federation or his nominee, and other executive members of government as well as
key parliamentarians. Major donor Agencies like UNFPA will also be represented in
this committee. They have overall responsibility of mobilizing financial, logistic and
moral support for the next census. It will have a Public Enlightenment Sub-Committee.

(1) The Logistics Committee. This committee will be made up of members from Ministries
of Communications, Works, Aviation, and Transport, the State Security Service, the
Nigeria Police and the Federal Pay Office. They will programme and control the
movement of census personnel and materials and ensure their security. Each State of the
Federation will have a logistics committee to coordinate the activities of the central
logistic committee in their States.

STATE STRUCTURE

A body to be known as a State Census Committee will be set up in each State. The State Director, under
the supervision of the Federal Commissioner, will head the body which will be made up of Heads of the
departments in the State Office and Comptrollers of the LGAs. They will be charged with ensuring the
execution of the Enumeration Area Demarcation, Advocacy, Logistics, and Census Administration in the
State. They should have power to co-opt important agencies in the State that will facilitate the execution
of the Census project.
State Census Committee should send monthly reports to the CTG through the Chairman of the
Commission.
