MUSCAT: The Regional Workshop on Quality Management in Censuses based on Administrative Records in the GCC states started on Sunday.  The workshop is organised by the GCC Statistical Center at its headquarters in Muscat for three days. The GCC Statistical Centre aims to develop and enhance the practical knowledge of the staff in quality management in censuses, especially those based on administrative records, by understanding the sources of errors, the main steps to build quality, to learn about the techniques used in quality management in census operations, understand statistical evaluation techniques for population and housing censuses, in addition to applying the framework of the GCC Statistical Center to ensure the quality of data in the unified census project 2020.


The workshop deals with three main themes: quality frameworks and concepts, sources of errors in the census, quality building in the census, and special considerations in censuses based on administrative records. The strategic plan for joint statistical work in the GCC countries prepared by the GCC Statistical Center and approved by the Ministerial Council on September 15, 2015 in Riyadh includes the unified census project for the GCC countries for 2020, where the centre is cooperating with national centres to achieve. — ONA
