Pour leur bon fonctionnement en tant qu’entités de développement, les unités administratives créées dans le cadre de cette décentralisation ont besoin des données statistiques multisectorielles. Malheureusement de telles informations sont souvent inexistantes, ou très peu fournies. Le Recensement Général de la Population et de l’Habitation de 2006 (RGPH-2006), donne l’occasion de pallier en partie cette insuffisance. En effet, le RGPH permet de fournir des informations sur la population, du niveau national jusqu’à la plus petite unité administrative qu’est le village. C’est pourquoi, l’Institut National de la Statistique et de la Démographie (INSD), dans le cadre de l’analyse des résultats définitifs, a jugé opportun de mettre à la disposition des décideurs nationaux et locaux, des partenaires techniques et financiers, de la société civile et de tout autre acteur du développement, des données régionales et provinciales variées dans divers domaines (démographique, économique, social, culturel, etc.) de la vie des populations.
