The Administrative and Technical Report is essentially the methodological report emanating from the 2001 Population and Housing Census. This report is the fourth in the series of outputs from the census. 2. This report provides a historical account of the census programme, tracing activities from project launching to the release of outputs. With regard to administrative issues, the report gives details on the organisational issues, institutional arrangement as well as the funding. In addition, a very lucid account on technical issues is provided, which are: development of questionnaire, cartography, publicity, census enumeration, data processing as well as details on overall quality assurance measures.. The instruments and materials used in the census are given as appendices, for ease of reference. 3. Some of the reports in the series of publications based on the 2001 census results so far released are: • 2001 Population Preliminary Results (September 2001) • Population of Towns, Villages and Associated Localities (April 2002) • District Census Officers and Technical Officers Reports (May 2002) • Parental Survival/orphan hood (Monograph) – January 2003 4. Reports still to be released, based on the 2001 census, include the following: • Summary Statistics on Small Areas • Census Analytical Report • Population Projections • Monographs on various topics o Census Data Evaluation o Fertility and Mortality Levels o Migration o Economic Activity o Household Agriculture Activities o Population and Social Characteristics o Housing o Profile of Men and Women in Botswana o Summary of Findings 2001 Population Census – Preliminary Results 5. The publication entitled “2001 Population Census Preliminary Results” was issued as a Stats Brief on 19 September 2001. It highlighted some preliminary results of the Census. It discussed, broadly, the 2001 provisional figures in i comparison with those of 1991 and the projections. It discussed the rate of population growth over the past ten years, and compared population distribution and growth in 1991 and 2001, at both national and district levels. Population of Towns, Villages and Associated Localities 6. This is the second time the report titled “Population of Towns, Villages and Associated Localities” is released. This edition is based on the 2001 census while the first was published in August 1992, based on the 1991 Census. It contains the names of all localities identified through the census exercise. The localities are associated with villages they owe allegiance to, in terms of economic, social and cultural aspects District Census Officers and Technical Officers Report 7. This report gives a narrative account of the overall census enumeration as experienced by the census at the district level. This report has two parts – the first part is on district reports by District Census Officers while the second part contains the views of Census Technical Officers. It is the first time that such a compendium on census administrative and technical issues has been published. This might offer users a balanced picture that could enable a self-evaluation of the census results. National Statistical Tables Report 8. National Statistical Tables Report provides statistics on all the various topics covered in the census exercise. The cross-classification of information is also done in respect of all variables, according to administrative districts as well as sub-district, where necessary. Census Analytical Report 9. The plan for the publication of the census data analytical report is to prepare chapters on subject basis. Analysts from CSO and various other institutions will contribute chapters to the analytical report. Such analysts will be experts in the chosen area of analysis. Population Projections 2001 - 2031 10. This report will contain population statistics estimated on the basis of future demographic trends in the country. These population estimates are presented at national, district and village levels. ii Summary Statistics On Small Areas 11. “The Summary Statistics on Small Areas” is a compendium of statistics on settlements of 500 or more persons. This is the third edition; the first and the second were part of the series of 1981 and 1991 Census publications, respectively. The statistics covered are in two parts – one part deals with population characteristics and the other with household characteristics of the settlement concerned.
