MyanmarPlanningCensus conduct in every 10 yearsIn Myanmar no census between 1983 census and 2014 census (period of 30 years) Most of the population information/data has relied on:Projections/estimatesSurveysPolitical and economic reforms since 2011 – inevitable need for accurate, up-to-date and reliable data for decision making

7. Field operationsMyanmarTo ensure complete coverage in the enumeration periodTo monitor progress and quality control, Enumerators and Supervisors were provided with sets of control forms, including:Daily progress formsEA summary sheets (to be used for provisional results) Completion formsObservation MissionOrganize at the invitation of Government, with the aim of enhancing transparency of the census process and to receive regular feedback from the field
8. Enumerators worked in the localities they reside in and know.Good maps and lists of structures were produced beforehand. Enumerators submitted daily progress reports on households counted. Making sure all households were countedMyanmar
9. Before leaving each household, enumerators made sure all questions were answered and recorded. Random re-Interviews were conducted for at least three households in every EA. EA Summary sheets completed by enumerators listed all the households where they conducted interviews. Township Committee supervision ensured that all EAs were accounted for.

11. Transportation of all census materials was done by professional transport companies. Security officers accompanied each shipment.Securely delivering questionnaires to the Census OfficeMyanmar
12. Storage area holds an estimated 11 million completed questionnaires. Cataloguing of questionnaires by location allows for ease of retrieval. Safely storing and organizing the questionnaires Myanmar
13. Count of questionnaires received and completed was verified by Township Census Officers. Completeness was confirmed and explanations provided for any missing EAs or households. Rigour in the receiving processMyanmar
14. EA codes were checked. Questionnaires were checked for damage, staples and clips were removed, and the forms were then split in two along a perforated line. Registration forms detailed the number of questionnaires to be scanned for each EAPreparing questionnaires for scanningMyanmar
15. Information from the pre-scanning process was further checked for discrepancies and then entered into a database containing all the EA codes This information is linked to the scanning system, so the scanner can tell if there is a difference between the number of questionnaires received and scanned.Registration before scanningMyanmar
16. Eight state-of-the-art scanners working simultaneously can read around 150,000 questionnaires a day, reject any damaged forms and identify character anomalies. High-tech scanning processMyanmar
17. Scanners detect unreadable or possibly erroneous characters on the forms and automatically send them to the Key Corrections team for further processing.Computerised character inspectionMyanmar
18. Operators check the highlighted numbers on each questionnaire and make necessary corrections.An operator clicks on the unrecognised number to enlarge it and see what it should be. If unsure about the correction, the operator sends the case to the supervisor. The scanning software captures the number of cases corrected as well as who made the correction. Corrections can only be made on numbers highlighted by the system and not on any other data. Key correctionsMyanmar
19. The scanning system enables managers to track progress, (for example, by showing how many forms have been scanned or how many characters have been inspected at any given time.)This allows them to verify that staff are performing their jobs skillfully, as well as to reallocate staff as needed, for instance to address a backlog that is slowing the data capture process.Monitoring and supervisionMyanmar
20. In some instances, information collected in the field may seem illogical or not be consistent with common sense. This happens in all censuses, both in developed and developing countries. (For example, a 5-year-old child may be recorded as having completed secondary education, or a 6-year -old as having given birth to two children. )Addressing data inconsistenciesMyanmar
21. The Census Office is using state-of-the-art computer technology to make certain that all census data is stored safely and efficiently. All census data is backed up locally and remotely every day.Protecting the dataMyanmar
22. Census dataset was cleaned before release of Main results Data file available in CSPro, SPSS and REDATAM softwareNational and State/Region LaunchDissemination workshops have been done in all districts across the country Township Dissemination workshops is on going processCensus Analysis and DisseminationMyanmar
23. Collecting, verifying and analysing data through Myanmar’s population census is an enormous and time consuming undertaking involving numerous distinct steps. Quality assurance at each stage is a key component of the process, and essential to ensuring the data’s overall reliability. Access to accurate and reliable population data is essential as the country formulates its development policies and projects to improve the lives of all its people.All the census reports were distributed through www.dop.gov.mm or http://myanmar.unfpa.org/ censusConclusionMyanmar
