  1. SUPPORTING CENSUS-TAKING IN COUNTRIES EMERGING FROM CONFLICT By Samson LAMLENN Technical Adviser, Data UNFPA/HRB, New York

  2. UNFPA SUPPORT TO POST-CONFLICT COUNTRIES SINCE 2000 • Rwanda (2002) • CAR (2003) • Sierra Leone (2004) • Mozambique (2007) • Congo (2007) • Liberia (2008) • Burundi (2008) • Sudan (2008) • Chad (2009?) • Cote d’Ivoire (?) • Eritrea (2009?) • Djibouti (2009?) • DRC (2010) • Togo (2010) • Guinea (?) • Guinea Bissau (?) • Kenya (2009?) • Angola (2011)

  3. OVERALL SITUATION IN POST-CONFLICT COUNTRIES • Insecurity and overall uncertainty • Displacement of the population (internal & external) • High incidence of mortality, morbidity, incapacitation, etc • Destruction of infrastructure • Problems of governance – ineffective central and local administration, several factions, etc • Dysfunction of the national statistical system –depletion of the institutional memory (staff, material, datasets/databases etc) • A poor indebted economy confronted with several priorities • Transition from humanitarian assistance to development programmes – from humanitarian funding to development funding

  4. UNFPA STRATEGIES FOR POST-CONFLICT CENSUS DESIGN AND IMPLEMETATION Provision of Technical Assistance to: • Prepare a detailed census project document with an elaborate work plan and budget; • Design a concise but amply explicit resource mobilization document highlighting key outputs, strategies, time-line and the budget • Launch resource mobilization from internal and external sources to ensure firm commitments for funding of all major budget lines.

  5. OTHER STRATEGIES FOR CENSUS IMPLEMENTATION • Deployment of long/short-term external expertise for national capacity building • Design and implementation of a consistent sensitization and communications strategy for the entire census project • Use of efficient M&E strategies to ensure the respect of the work plan and delivery of quality outputs • Wide publicity of available results and their use in ongoing post-conflict initiatives • Provision of regular and timely reports to donors and to the Government • Detailed analyses and wide dissemination of results of the census with clear demonstration of the impact and implications of the conflict.
