Evaluation of Census Process at Meeting in Berkane: Preparations and Progress for the 2024 Edition

"On Thursday, May 2nd, a crucial meeting was held at the headquarters of the Berkane province, bringing together various stakeholders involved in the census process, currently underway for its seventh edition. Chaired by the Secretary-General, this assembly saw the participation of the President of the Provincial Council, the Regional Director of the High Commission for Planning, as well as representatives from the security forces, local authorities, and commune presidents."

"This meeting holds particular importance in the context of preparations for the ongoing census, where collected data is meticulously evaluated. The Regional Director of the High Commission for Planning also addressed the methodological aspects of the general population and housing census for the year 2024, covering various issues such as the definition of the census, its legal framework, its main objectives, its different stages, and the tools used."

"The main objective of this process is to determine the legal population of different administrative units and to explore demographic and socio-economic characteristics comprehensively. This approach also involves analyzing the housing conditions of households and the characteristics of dwellings. Additionally, it requires the establishment of a main sample for conducting statistical research over a defined period between two successive censuses. To achieve this, the national territory will be divided into census, monitoring, and supervision zones, thus ensuring complete coverage of the kingdom's population without omission or repetition. Approximately 467 people are involved in this operation."

The progress made in this census includes the digitization of all its stages using electronic tablets equipped with applications, which speeds up data processing and reduces the time taken to publish results. Additionally, this digitization eliminates costs associated with printing and transporting documents.
