National Housing and Population Census 2024 and its hiccups

 Today Papua New Guinea started on its important national event that happens every ten years.

It's the enumeration of every household and human beings referenced to June 16, 2024.

Essentially what this means is where were you sleeping that evening.



The government is said to have released K153 million for thos event but with cumbersome financial processes or appears funds were disbursed to provinces only few days before the start today.

The plan was that enumerators would use tablets or IPADS and collect data which will be electronically send to the data centre in Port Moresby with live updates on a desktop. 


Sadly though this did not happen.


Enumerators were using notes and stationery they purchased on their own.
