UNFPA/PARIS 21 International Expert Group Meeting on Mechanismsfor Ensuring Continuity of 10-year Population Censuses:Strategies for Reducing Census CostsPretoria, South Africa26-29 November 2001 Using Census and Household Survey Data for Poverty Mapping and other Developmental Attributes ByFrancis M.

  2. Development of Integrated Multi Information System (IMIS) Briefly, the development of the Kenyan IMIS encompass 4 steps: • Development of population database • Development of GIS database • Integration of population and GIS database • Creation of local and wide area network

  3. Structures of the 1999 and 1989 Kenya Population and Housing Census Database Country Province A Province B.. Division 1 Division 2.. Location 1 Location 2… Sub-location 1 Sub-location 2… EA1 EA2…

  4. Utility of Some Key Census Products The census products generated from the integration of census data and survey data have been used for various purposes:

  5. Utility of Some Key Census Products(continue…) • Development Planning Through the integration of population census data, household based data and administrative records data, it has been possible to generate: • Poverty maps for Kenya. • Distribution map by key socio-economic attributes • Map out: • High HIV/AIDS prevalence areas. This information has been useful for resource allocation, mounting special preventive programmes and for targeting vulnerable population sub-groups. • Informal settlements / slums • Generation of monitorable development indicators for monitoring and evaluation of national development programmes.

  6. Utility of Some Key Census Products(continue…) • Facilitation of In-Depth Census Analysis Kenya has in the past experience continuous administrative boundary changes as a result it has not been possible to monitor demographic profiles for the country. • Consequently, through use of the GIS products, it has been possible to reconstruct population profiles for 1979 and 1989 population censuses using the 1999 Administrative area structures as a base. This information is important for deriving fertility and mortality estimates, which are key inputs into population projection model.

  7. Utility of Some Key Census Products(continue…) • Monitoring and Evaluation Mapping of high crime spot areas using crime data generated through the law enforcement agencies - police, law courts, etc.,

  8. Utility of Some Key Census Products(continue…) • Administrative, political and social arena Products facilitated quick and effective responses to issues related to: • Parliamentary questions • Boundary disputes, • Queries on population matters, • Allocation of local authority transfer funds and other uses.

  9. Constraints • High maintenance cost of the Network • Procurement of the GIS software • Inadequate skills on optimal use of GPS • Delays in the digitization of the EAs
