Application of New Technology in Population Data Collection, Processing, Dissemination and Presentation
Project: 1997-2001
Last update: 11 February 2004
The links below provide access to a wealth of technical documents, recommendations and guidelines related to applying information technology to censuses and surveys.

These pages are based on the outputs of a multi-year project (1997-2001) executed by the Statistics Division of the United Nations Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific (ESCAP). The project, Application of New Technology in Population Data Collection, Processing, Dissemination and Presentation (RAS/96/P12), was generously funded by the UNFPA. A number of census and statistical organizations in the region provided extensive substantive support and expert resources to the project. The main thrust of the project was to promote the adoption and effective utilization of new technology in population data collection, processing, dissemination and presentation in the countries of the ESCAP region.
