2010 World Census Programme

• UNSD development project recently initiated in collaboration with UNICEF to improve DevInfo functionality for Censuses

• Three areas of improvement envisioned:– allow for multi-dimensional cross-tabulations (e.g. by

age/sex) instead of just one-dimensional indicators;

– improve current mapping facility; and

– allow for standard tables/graphs according to country-defined templates for census information dissemination (e.g. one-page country report)
