MoIP to hire international consultant to carry out census

According to the Ministry of Immigration and Population (MoIP), an international consultant will be employed to take the census.
Designing software and a Computer-Assisted Personal Interviewing (CAPI) system will be implemented to collect the data of the national census nationwide with a mobile tablet on 2 October 2024.
For these activities, the international consultant has to draw up a detailed plan to carry out the work, provide technical advice, provide training, develop programmes, and build systems.
Therefore, an international consultant experienced in census work will be evaluated and selected. Interested international consultants can obtain the business guidelines on the website www.dop.gov.mm from 5 to 31 May, and submit proposals to the Department of Population under MoIP, located at Office No 48 in Nay Pyi Taw, in person (or by email) via [email protected] by 31 May.
To carry out the work of creating maps and enumeration plots by using Geographic Information System (GIS) technology, which is a current preparatory work of the census, the nationwide collection of location points of wards and villages has been 84 per cent completed, said Chairman of the Central Census Committee Deputy Minister U Htay Hlaing in early May. — TWA/CT
