It is one of the main volumes in the 2011 Population and Housing Census series of publications. The report contains the projected counts of the future population. Unlike in the previous projections, which projected for a 30 year period, the current report projects the population for the next 15 years using the 2011 census data as the base population. These population projections are presented at national, district. A report on locality population projections will be published separately. The main purpose of producing population projections is to provide an estimate of the future population as a common framework for use in planning, policy formulation and decision making in various sectors of the economy. This would assist the planning process in presenting a future outlook of the population. This includes among others; informing the allocation of the resources from the central government to local areas and plan ahead for the provision of servies. I hope you will find this publication useful for planning and other purpose.
