POLICY STATEMENT ON THE LISTING AND ENUMERATION PROCEDURES
FOR THE 2023 POPULATION AND HOUSING CENSUS IN NIGERIA
1.0 Executive Summary
This policy brief provides a comprehensive overview of the methodology to be employed for
the 2023 Population and Housing census including the building numbering and household
listing exercise and persons enumeration in the 2023 Population and Housing Census (PHC) in
Nigeria. Two key methods are to be adopted for the PHC including the De- facto method of
enumeration and the recently added group listing approach. These are part of an effort to
enhance efficiency and accuracy in data collection, while allowing flexibility and adaptability
in response to on-the-ground challenges. The policy outlines the roles and responsibilities of
enumerators, supervisors, Data Quality Assistants, Data Quality Managers, and the Census
Data Analysis and Processing Team (CDAT). It also details the processes for building
numbering, household listing, and important considerations for the successful implementation
of the methodology.
1.1 Background
The National Population Commission (NPC) is mandated to conduct a population and housing
census every ten years in Nigeria. The census serves as a critical source of information on the
population's demographic, social, and economic characteristics, which informs policy-making,
resource allocation, and development planning at various levels of government. The last census
took place in 2006, and since then, Nigeria has experienced significant population growth,
urbanization, and socio-economic changes. These developments necessitate the conduct of a
census to provide a reliable basis for decision-making.
The 2023 PHC aims to provide up-to-date information on the population's demographic, social,
and economic characteristics, which will enable the government and other stakeholders to make
informed decisions, allocate resources effectively, and monitor progress towards Sustainable
Development Goals, National Development Plan (NDP) 2021-2025, Africa 2063 Agenda and
other national and international goals and commitments. To this end, the NPC in addition to
the de facto approach for persons enumeration has adopted the group listing methodology for
building numbering and household listing.
1.2 Objectives
The objectives of this policy brief are to:
1. Explain the group Listing and Enumeration procedures for the 2023 PHC.
2. Provide guidelines for the roles and responsibilities of enumerators and supervisors,
Data Quality Assistants, Data Quality Managers, and the Census Data Analysis and
Processing Team.
3. Outline the processes for building numbering, household listing, persons enumeration
and data collection.
4. Highlight the procedure and benefits of the de facto census for the enumeration of
individuals

Page | 2
5. Identify important considerations for the successful implementation of the
methodologies
1.3 Group Listing Methodology
The methodology for the building numbering and household listing exercise for the 2023 PHC
is Group listing.
This means all enumerators and supervisor within a supervisory area will conduct building
numbering as a group and list all households within one EA completely before moving to the
next EA within the SA.
• The supervisor and all enumerators in an SA all start in one EA as a group
• The supervisor moves with all enumerators from the first building to next within the
first EA to conduct building numbering.
• Supervisor assigns range of buildings to all enumerators as numbering progresses. The
supervisor chalks all buildings by writing the Census number assigned to the building
on the wall. When he finishes numbering the set of building assigned to the first
enumerator he can commence the listing exercise, while the other enumerators continue
with the Supervisor to number the buildings and receive their own assigned buildings.
All buildings found on ground including new ones not found on the map must be
numbered serially.
• Enumerators proceeds after been assigned a set of buildings, to verify and list
households without going beyond the assigned buildings.
• The same step is repeated for other EAs within the SA.
NOTE
• Building numbering already takes into consideration, demolished buildings, and new
buildings.
• Only buildings physically present on ground will be numbered.
• New buildings will be assigned numbers based on their location while maintaining the
flow of serial numbering. i.e. new building between EAD building 1 and 2 is numbered
code 2, and building 2 is numbered code 3 and so on.
• Demolished buildings will not be assigned a number. i.e. if EAD building 2 is
demolished, building 3 is now assigned 2 for Building numbering, however it will be
verified as demolished on the device.
• Enumerators must not go beyond their assigned building codes. (The App should not
allow them
• Numbering and assignment must be serial within an EA i.e. if Enumerator 1 is assigned
buildings 001-043, Enumerator 2 will start numbering and verification from building
044
• If a building was omitted in the process of numbering, this means the building was not
numbered or assigned to any enumerator.
o such building should be reported to the supervisor,
o the supervisor then gives the next number to the building and ensure the building
is captured by the enumerator assigned the last part of the EA.

Page | 3
• In multilocality EAs, supervisor assigns the different localities that makes up the EA to
different enumerators.
• All Enumerators must be on ground with the Supervisor during building numbering and
assignment and should physically receive and note every building assigned.
1.3.1 New Introductions into the Group Listing Methodology
1. The exercise is Supervisory area based.
2. Not all enumerators will have tablets in an SA. (0.75 tablet to 1 EA). This means an SA
with 4 EAs may have 3 tablets.
3. As a result of the above, assignment of buildings in EAs will be rotated by the
supervisor. The enumerator without tablet at a given time will join the supervisor in
chalking the buildings.
4. This implies that If enumerator 4 does not have a tablet while working in EA1,
enumerator 4 must be given a tablet to work in EA2. i.e. another enumerator will pass
the tablet to enumerator 4. This rotation will be based on the supervisor’s workplan.
5. When enumerator 4 receives a tablet, he/she will still activate profile on the device
using their phone number and OTP. This is to ensure work done is tagged to the
appropriate enumerator.
1.3.2 Sample Group Listing Workplan
After completing the first EA, the supervisor rotates the tablets among the enumerators to
ensure that enumerators without tablets while working on EA 1 works with tablets in EA2.
EA 1 EA2 EA3 EA4 EA5 EA6
ENUMERATOR 1 X TAB 2 TAB 2 TAB 2 TAB 2 TAB 2
ENUMERATOR 2 TAB 2 X TAB 3 TAB 3 TAB 3 TAB 3
ENUMERATOR 3 TAB 3 TAB 3 X TAB 4 TAB 4 TAB 4
ENUMERATOR 4 TAB 4 TAB 4 TAB 4 X TAB 5 TAB 5
ENUMERATOR 5 TAB 5 TAB 5 TAB 5 TAB 5 X TAB 1
ENUMERATOR 6 TAB 1 TAB 1 TAB 1 TAB 1 TAB 1 X
1.3.3 Group Listing Monitoring Process
• Currently, each Enumeratorr will synchronize verified assigned buildings in an EA.
• Due to the number tablets available, the supervisor will monitor progress through an
enumerator’s tablet.
• The supervisor will activate his/her profile on the tablet.
• The supervisor will then monitor the EA coverage on the CENSUSPAD through Team
progress and monitoring tab on the main menu,
• he/she ensures all buildings have been verified, households have been listed in
residential and institutional buildings, and then click the “mark as completed” button to
sign off that an EA has been completed.

Page | 4
• The DQAA also activates profile on his/her tablet, checks and sign off on completion
using the Team progress and coverage tab.
• The automatic validation is initiated on the DQM’s dashboard after completion and
signed off by supervisor and DQAA.
1.4 Group Enumeration Methodology
Group enumeration involves teams of enumerators and supervisors working together to ensure
comprehensive coverage of the target population, following the group listing phase where
buildings and households have been identified and recorded.
The group enumeration is considered an option to maximise the use of the available tablets
while maintaining the principle of simultaneity. Enumerators will start work on their primary
EA, depending on the number of EAs in the SA, tablets will have to be rotated in a work shift
arrangement. While 3 Enumerators will have a full day operation daily during enumeration
period, two will have to rotate tablets among themselves under close supervision of the
supervisor daily.
The key issue is the management of time on each day which the supervisor needs to coordinate
meticulously. A table is prepared below to guide each team.
1.4.1 Method One: Enumeration with Shared PDAs
The Group Enumeration Methodology will use shared PDAs among the enumerators, the
following are the steps in enumerating using the methodology.
1. With current resource available, the distribution of PDA will be a ratio of 4 tablets to
each SA.
2. Supervisor assigns enumerators to their primary EAs ( EA A,B,C,D & E or more )
3. First set of enumerators (A,B,C,&D) commence work in the morning of Day one of
enumeration.
4. By noon Enumerator A pass the PDA to Enumerator E to commence work in the
afternoon session
TABLE ONE : SAMPLE SA WORK SHIFT SCHEDULE
ENUMERATOR DAY 1 DAY 2 DAY 3 DAY 4 DAY 5
A M FD FD FD A
B FD A FD M FD
C FD FD A FD M
D FD FD M A FD
E A M FD FD FD
FD - Full Day
M - MORNING - 7 am - 12 Noon
A - AFTERNOON - 12 Noon - 6 pm

Page | 5
5. Enumerators verify and interview members of the household one after the other in their
assigned EA.
6. Enumerators to probe and leave call back cards for members of the household that are
temporarily absent during enumerator’s visit to the household.
7. Each team will run two shifts from 7am - 12 noon (Morning) and 1pm - 6pm (afternoon)
8. That following the guideline in the table below, the supervisor ensures that enumeration
is conducted in every EA daily during the enumeration period.
9. Synchronisation should be at least twice a day.
10. Multi locality EAs should be given preference and be exempted from the rotation of
tablets as much as possible.
1.4.2 Method Two: Enumeration with Individual PDAs
1. Supervisor assigns enumerators to their primary EA within the Supervisory Area (SA),
directs that enumeration commences at the same time and ensures that all EAs are
visited simultaneously.
2. Enumerators verify and interview members of the households within their assigned EA,
one after the other.
3. Enumerators probe and leave call back cards for temporarily absent household members
who were present on census night.
4. Data synchronization should occur at least twice a day to minimize the impact of non-
simultaneity on the data.
1.4.3 How to Handle New Building/Households during enumeration
New households found in the listed buildings during enumeration should be captured but
cannot be enumerated until approval is granted by the LG field coordinator. Supervisors are to
report new households to DQA to conduct a spot check and escalate the report to the LG field
Coordinator, who gives approval to DQM to activate enumeration of the new households.
New buildings found during enumeration should be captured but cannot be enumerated until
the State field coordinator (SFC) approves. The case should be reported to the DQA for spot
checks; when confirmed, they escalate the report to the LG field Coordinator and the State field
coordinators. The SFC liaises with the State DQM and conveys approval to the FDQM to
activate for enumeration.
1.5 De-facto Concept
For the 2023 PHC, the census will use a de facto method, where individuals are enumerated
based on where they are found on the census night. This has several advantages, especially in
a country like Nigeria.
1. De facto method is easier to administer, less prone to errors and omissions, and provides
accurate and reliable data.
2. De facto method ensures that the government can make informed decisions based on
accurate and reliable data.
3. The De facto method is particularly suitable for countries with high levels of internal
migration, providing a more accurate picture of the population at a given time.

Page | 6
1.6 Steps to Enumerate Special Population
1.6.1 Women in purdah
1. Identify yourself to the head of household.
2. Explain/educate the head of household why the women can’t be counted by proxy.
3. Gain the confidence of the head of household.
4. Respect the culture of your respondent.
5. Start enumeration in the order provided by the head of household.
NB: Female enumerators should enumerate women in purdah, as males enumerators may not
be allowed into their courtyards. In case the enumeration team consists of only male
enumerators, permission of the head of household or assistance of the community leaders must
be sought in advance.
1.6.2 Homeless household
1. Introduce yourself to the household
2. Explain the purpose of your visit
3. Show empathy where needed
4. Identify the head of household
5. Start enumeration from the head of household to the last member of the household
NB: Homeless households have to be enumerated as regular households. Homeless households
are identical to regular households except that they have no roof over their head.
1.6.3 Mentally Challenged Persons
1. Identify the mentally challenged persons in the EA
2. Be calm, friendly, observant and subtle in your approach
3. Seek assistance and cooperation from community leader and security operatives
4. Ask questions in a friendly manner
5. In cases where answers are not provided, use your initiative
NB: Mentally challenged persons will be enumerated on the first night of the Census (after
12:00 midnight). It is therefore necessary to go round at night and familiarize yourself with the
places during the building numbering and household listing. For that, you may need protection
from relevant authorities. Do not approach the homeless persons alone for security reasons.
1.7 Steps In Enumerating Institutional Household
1.7.1 Correctional Homes (Long Stay)
1. Identify the head of the centre (prison warder as the case may be)
2. Explain your mission
3. Seek permission to enumerate the inmates
4. Seek assistance in approaching the inmates where necessary
5. Start enumeration in no particular order.
6. Enumerate continuously until all blocks of wards are enumerated
1.7.2 School Hostel (Long Stay)
1. Identify the head of the school (principal or hostel master as the case may be)

Page | 7
2. Identify yourself and your mission
3. Seek permission to enumerate all the students
4. Take one block after the other
5. Start enumeration of persons in no particular order.
6. Enumerate continuously until all students are enumerated
1.7.3 Hospital (Short Stay)
1. Identify the head of the hospital (MD/CEO as the case maybe)
2. Identify yourself and mission
3. Seek permission to enumerate all persons in the hospital
4. Take one block after the other
5. Start enumeration in no particular order
6. Enumerate continuously until all block of wards are enumerated
1.7.4 Nomads
1. 1.Introduce yourself
2. Identify the Head
3. Explain your mission
4. Seek permission to enumerate them
5. Check their thumbs to confirm that they have not been enumerated and proceed to
enumerate them.
NB: In the institutional household, start enumeration with anybody available. There may be
restrictions on accessing some of these institutions, the heads of these institutions are usually
called upon for permission to enumerate their occupants (that is persons in their care). In some
cases, these institutions provide their own staff that would assist in approaching the occupants
for the purpose of enumeration.
1.8 Enumeration of Census Functionaries
The following is a description of the enumeration process for census functionaries:
1. Every SA team is responsible for enumerating all functionaries found within their
Supervisory Area (SA).
2. To attach the functionaries to a physical location, a geo point called a "Floating
Building." is created on the Census Night or the morning after the census night within
the Supervisory Area.
3. The functionaries are then enumerated as an institutional household within the
"Floating Building."
This process ensures that all census functionaries within the SA are properly accounted for and
linked to a specific location. By creating a "Floating Building," the team can accurately capture
all census functionaries within the SA.
1.9 Re-interview
The re-interview concept focuses on utilising supervisors to ensure data quality in the 2023
Population and Housing Census. Supervisors will be responsible for re-interviewing a sample

Page | 8
of respondents during both the listing and enumeration phases, aiming to minimise field
operation errors and improve the accuracy and consistency of collected information.
The re-interview data will guides decision-making and remedial actions, such as training or
replacement of enumerators.
Coverage: 3 households per enumerator’s completed work
1.9.1 Objective
1. To generate instant results on the quality of work of each enumerator so as to detect
and correct field operations errors early and improve the accuracy and consistency of
collected information.
2. To provide a large scale sample data from the census for purpose of validating census
and other subsequent surveys
1.9.2 Re – Interview Methodology
The re-interview process is conducted in two phases:
During listing:
1. Supervisors randomly select three buildings from buildings already listed.
2. Re-interviews are conducted in the order of building assignment or segmentation.
3. The process takes place during the first four days of listing.
During person enumeration:
1. Supervisors randomly select three households from those where enumeration has been
completed.
2. Re-interviews are conducted for each enumerator in the sampling area.
3. The process takes place during the first four days of enumeration.
1.9.3 Functionaries Involved
Supervisors: Supervisors may use their own Personal Digital Assistants (PDAs) if required, as
a mandatory measure to address tablet shortages.
Data Quality Assistants (DQAs): Support supervisors in ensuring adherence to the re-
interview protocol, intervene in case of disputes, and recommend replacement or dismissal if
necessary.
Data Quality Manager (DQM): Monitors the completion rate of re-interviews and views the
re-interview reports on their dashboard.
1.9.4 Decision Making Procedure and Reporting
The Kuder-Richardson Formula 20 (KR-20) is used to determine the reliability index of the re-
interview data. The KR-20 values range from 0 to 1, with higher values indicating higher
reliability. Based on the computational result, three optional actions are available:
1. Pass
2. Advice and retrain
3. Advice, withdraw, and replacement

Page | 9
The re-interview report is generated through an automated process comparing the supervisor's
data with that of the enumerator.
The KR-20 report is then sent to the supervisor’s tablet, the DQMs dashboard, and the
Monitoring App, accessible by the Data Quality Assistant and the Geo-monitor for immediate
decision-making.
The supervisor uses the reports of the re-interviews to take immediate remedial actions
according to the re-interview protocol and ensures adherence.
1.10 Roles and Responsibilities During the Census Process
1.10.1 Enumerators
1. Number buildings and list households within assigned building ranges.
2. Collect person and housing characteristics information completely.
3. Verify the status of existing and demolished buildings.
4. Conduct interviews and record information accurately and promptly using assigned
tablets.
5. Serve as the "King Tablet" holder, if assigned, and assume a deputy supervisor role in
coordinating the group listing process and ensuring data accuracy.
1.10.2 Supervisors
1. Lead and manage the team of enumerators in building numbering, household listing,
and persons enumeration activities.
2. Coordinate the use of the PDA/tablets assigned to enumerators in the team, ensuring
proper rotation of devices based on availability.
3. Conduct the assignment of census numbers to buildings in each Enumeration Area (EA)
by EA within the Survey Area (SA).
4. Assign buildings to enumerators for household listing and ensure timely completion of
assignments.
5. Perform coverage and quality checks with the "King Tablet" to manage group listing
and persons enumeration activities and promptly report any incidents or issues
encountered during the enumeration process.
6. Conduct re-interviews as necessary to verify and validate data collected and address
any inconsistencies identified.
7. Liaise with the Data Quality Assurance (DQA) team to review the results of the re-
interviews and ensure the accuracy and completeness of data collected by enumerators.
8. Supervise and provide guidance, support, and feedback to enumerators to improve their
performance and ensure their safety and security during the enumeration process.
9. Conduct enumeration of functionaries and other related activities as required.
10. Serve as the overall team leader and manager, responsible for ensuring the successful
completion of the enumeration exercise within the specified timelines and quality
standards.
1.10.3 Data Quality Assistants (DQAs)
1. Prepare the profiling template for Data Quality Managers (DQMs) to profile the
functionaries.

Page | 10
2. Ground truth and report any data inconsistencies or errors to Data Quality Managers
for prompt resolution.
3. Provide technical support and guidance to enumerators and supervisors to improve data
quality.
4. Review the results of the interview with the supervisor and implement observations.
1.10.4 Data Quality Managers
1. Profile all functionaries for data collection
2. Monitor the data synchronization of enumerators and supervisors using the Dashboard
3. Check validation errors and follow up with Data Quality Assistants for ground-truthing.
4. Monitor the work of enumerators, supervisors and Data Quality Assistants on screen,
providing necessary support.
5. Review DQA reports on data inconsistencies and errors, and coordinate with
enumerators, supervisors, and the field management to resolve issues.
6. Ensure overall data quality and integrity throughout the census exercise.
1.10.5 Census Data Analysis and Processing Team (CDAT)
1. Receive, process, and analyze census data from the server in real time.
2. Identify any discrepancies or data quality issues and promptly communicate any
undesirable outcomes to the Census Management Team.
3. Provide daily updates to the Census Management Team during field work.
4. Undertake preliminary data processing, generate preliminary results and compile
preliminary reports and present them to the Census Management Team for approval.
1.11 Data Collection Processes
1.11.1 Building Numbering:
1. Serial numbering of buildings within an EA, taking into consideration demolished and
new buildings.
2. Updating of the EA Frame from the EAD.
3. Recording of Census building information
4. Recording of all special population points within an EA
5. List all structures in the EA without omission or overlaps
6. Reporting of omitted or unassigned buildings to supervisors for appropriate action.
1.11.2 Household Listing
1. Listing of households within assigned building ranges.
2. Recording household information using tablets, with work tagged to individual
enumerators.
1.12 Important Considerations
1. The Census is SA-based, with enumerator and supervisor teams operating within
designated SAs.
2. For the building numbering and household listing, the focus is on buildings within the
EA, thus the team moves from EA to EA

Page | 11
3. For SA with less tablets for the number of enumerators, the persons’ enumeration will
focus on households within the SAs, thus households are to be shared across all EAs in
the SA
4. In this regard, two enumerators should not work in the same building both during the
building numbering and household listing and the persons’ enumeration.
5. All enumerators may not have tablets, requiring rotation of tablet assignments among
team members.
6. Enumerators without tablets will assist supervisors in chalking building numbers.
1.13 Conclusion
The group listing methodology for the 2023 PHC in Nigeria is designed to ensure efficient and
accurate data collection for building numbering and household listing. This policy brief
provides a comprehensive overview of the methodology, roles and responsibilities, processes,
and important considerations for its successful implementation. Adherence to these guidelines
will contribute to the overall success of the census exercise, enabling evidence-based
policymaking and resource allocation in Nigeria.

GREEN CENSUS
2.0 Introduction
Census is inherently complex as it requires the mobilization of a wide range of human and
material resources. It thus has considerable impacts on the environment. For instance, about
twenty-eight million sheets of paper questionnaires and over three million paper maps which
are equivalent to about 6,000 trees were utilized for Nigeria’s 2006 Population and Housing
Census (NPC, 2006).There is obviously a need to pursue an eco-friendly approach in the
conduct of the 2023 census, to cut back on its potential impacts on the environment and
contribute to addressing the escalating challenges of climate change through the
implementation of Nigeria’s Nationally Determined Contributions (NDC). This Handbook
articulates the various aspects in which Nigeria’s 2023 Census is green, particularly in outright
avoidance and or reduction of carbon emissions. This is in line with Nigeria’s Nationally
Determined Contributions (NDC) to climate change to reduce the emission of gases that
contribute to global warming as signed in United Nations Framework Convention on Climate
Change (UNFCCC).
2.1 Green Census
A green census is the census that adopts strategies which promote environmental sustainability
it is one that preserve the environment in such a way that cause minimal or no damage to the
social, economic, and physical environment. It is also one that prevents greenhouse gases
(GHGs) emissions that would otherwise have happened. It provides data for the assessment of
the impact of the population on the environment and that of climate change on the environment.
It supports the development of climate change actions that are best focused on at the household
level.
2.2 Significance of Green Census
Some of the benefits of the green census can be itemized as follows:
a. The use of green technology to implement census will reduce the climate signature of
census operational activities thereby, contributing towards Nigerian nationally
determined contributions (NDCs) to reduce green house gas emission
b. Green census can estimate how climate change affects the population in absolute terms
and highlight climate change impacts. The data generated could show the impacts of
climate change on populations.
c. Greening of the census process will entail digitization, which will lead to saving of
thousands of the trees (carbon sinks), but also avoid GHG emissions that would have
occurred, while producing/recycling paper that would otherwise have been used;
d. Green census will provide primary data on population-climate nexus, for discerning
carbon footprint pattern in the country;
e. Green census will generate green data used for sustainable development planning;
climate change mitigation, adaptation, and other climate variables that will foster
climate preparedness and action.

2.3 Climate Change
Climate Change refers to the long shift in temperatures and weather patterns caused by natural
or human induced activities. However, human activities especially burning fossil fuels like
coal, oil, and gas have been the main drivers.
The human factor-driven climate change is caused by an accumulation of heat-trapping gases
called greenhouse gases (GHG), Some key GHGs are Carbon dioxide (CO2), Methane (CH4),
Nitrous oxide (N2O), and Carbon monoxide (CO). GHG enters the atmosphere through the
burning of fossil fuels (coal, natural gas, and oil), during transportation, power generation for
industrial and domestic use, decay of organic waste, trees, agricultural, land use, and industrial
activities. There is nothing that can be done about the natural factors of climate change, but the
change that relates to human activities can be addressed with adaptation and mitigation
strategies.
Mitigation: Climate change mitigation is the act of reducing the severity of climate change. It
involves reducing the flow of GHGs into the atmosphere either by by reducing sources of these
gases or enhancing the “sinks that accumulate and store these gases (e.g tree planting). The
2023 Census would generate information that would assist in assessing mitigation potentials at
the household level. It will also reveal aspects of domestic carbon emissions in various parts
of the country.
Adaptation means making adjustments to actual or expected climate change and its impacts
such as rising sea levels, lower or higher rainfall, temperature, floods etc. Data from this census
would assist in assessing some aspects of the vulnerabilities (high at risk) of human and natural
systems and in designing other adaptation strategies across various ecological zones of Nigeria.
2.4 Population and Climate Change Nexus
The nexus between population and climate change is defined by population size, fertility and
growth rates consumption levels and resource utilization; as well as the mitigation and
adaptation capacity of the complex human-environment system.
The NPC is actively engaged in the study the of linkages between population and climate
change in Nigeria, given its large population, fertility, and population growth rates. Also, the
NPC, as a member of the Nigeria Climate Council because of the central role tha population
occupies in climate change response. It is charged with the prime responsibility of undertaking
population and housing census, but also the generation of green data at the household level,
including carbon emission data that could be used in emission data projections and climate
change impact on demographic groups with. Therefore, NPC is a crucial partner in reducing
carbon emission and achieving Nigeria’s’ nationally determined contribution (NDC)
2.4.1 Relationship Between Green Census and Climate Change Response
Green census and climate change response are connected. As we have seen above, the release
of GHG into the atmosphere from various sources is responsible for human-induced climate
change. In our green census, substantial emissions will be avoided. For example, digital
capturing and transmission of data mean we are “paperless” and we would not do too much
traveling. By not traveling much we reduce the amount of fuel and therefore the amount of

Page | 14
carbon that we would have injected into the environment. Paper is made from trees. By going
paperless we protect thousands of trees (carbon sinks) from being cut. These trees help us
reduce CO2 by synthesizing carbon and releasing oxygen (O2) for us. A green census is
climate-friendly.
2.4.2 Local Actions for Global Impacts
The local actions we are taking in Nigeria such as reducing emissions through the use of
cooking gas instead of firewood and charcoal, the use of fuel-efficient vehicles, the use of
energy-efficient bulbs, and investments in solar energy, in their little ways, contribute to
reducing climate change impact and avoiding and or limiting emissions. That is why we say
local actions generate global impacts. Some local actions we are taking in the 2023 PHC
include reduced paper and power use; adopting solar energy at the national and state offices;
adopting bicycles for transportation where possible etc. some of the little actions advocated at
individual level are presented in Box1.
2.5 Carbon footprints and Tracking
A carbon footprint is the total GHG emissions caused by an individual, event, organization,
service, place, or product. The first step to start reducing carbon emissions is to track carbon
footprints. Carbon tracking is a comprehensive way to measure and document carbon emissions
from direct and indirect sources. It allows individuals and organizations to calculate the GHG
emissions that result from every activity, get a clear picture of their footprint, determine the
best opportunities for making reductions, and evaluate progress in reducing emissions.
Advocacy on climate actions and Green Census.
2.6 Features of Nigeria’s Green Census
The key features for greening the 2023 PHC include;
1. Adoption of digital data collection, processing, and transmission technologies that
makes the census largely “paperless”. thereby reducing emissions that would have come
if it were physical.
2. Utilization of renewable (solar) energy at the National and State offices as a sustainable
source of electricity, reduce emissions that would have come from the national grid or
use of generators
3. Advocacy and sensitization of NPC functionaries on climate change. These would
include information on actions that lessen the adverse impacts of the census on the
environment and what needs to be done to moderate the impact of climate change (Box
1) and the need for the public to avoid travelling for the census.
4. Inclusion of relevant questions that would help in evaluating the awareness of climate
change and its impact at the household level.
5. Tracking Carbon Footprints During the Census Process to enable the determination of
the GHG emissions that result from census activities/processes and the opportunities to
make reductions.
6. Use of Bicycles for local trips during the census to reduce GHG emissions that could
have been generated if GHG emitting vehicles are used.

Page | 15
7. Use of Hybrid-Electrical Vehicles that combine two or more sources of energy. These
can save between 24% and 41% of CO2 compared to conventional petrol vehicles .
These will help reduce emissions that would have happened with the use of
conventional vehicles in the movement of people and materials.
8. Ensuring the Procurement of Eco-Friendly Materials for the Census that are very
durable and long-lasting or biodegradable. This implies that EF materials can either
delay emissions or limit the amount that can be immediately released into the
atmosphere.
9. Increase virtual trainings of census functionaries to reduce physical movement thereby
minimizing carbon footprint produced as a result of travelling for the training.
10. Optimizing the Delivery of Resources for census ensuring that materials are delivered
in the fastest, cheapest, and most reliable ways. Example procurement/production of
materials at local level instead of National level
2.7 Roles of Census Functionaries
In addition to their usual census responsibility, census functionaries are expected to perform
the following roles:
• Support the greening of the census processes and procedures;
• Administer the green questions - the census questionnaire;
• Fill out the daily questionnaire on green activities;
• Be climate-sensitive in all their action (Box1);
• Reduce waste (solid and liquid);
• Dispose waste responsibly by sorting where possible;
• Travel eco-friendly;
• Plant a tree where possible.
NOTE: Eco-friendly travel means adopting transportation means that produce minimum or no
GHGs such as walking, bicycles etc
Box 1: Elements of Advocacy on the Green Census
Remember, the 2023 PHC is a “Green Census”. Play your part by:
• Considering eco-friendly products while shopping.
• Eat responsibly and avoid food wastage.
• Reduce the use of water for washing, cleaning, and bathing.
• Use reusable bags and food containers.
• Separate reusables waste during disposal where possible
• Practice earth hour (switch of lights for one hour) at least once during the census
period.
• Unplug your PDA, laptop, or mobile phone when fully charged.
• Switch off electrical appliances when not in use.
• Go digital and use emails instead of paper correspondence.
• Switch off lights and air conditions when not in use;
• Always adopt the eco-friendly Rs for the green census viz;

Page | 16
1. REFUSE what you don’t need,
2. REDUCE; what you need;
3. REUSE; it as many times as you can,
4. RE-PURPOSE; if you’re not using it anymore and
5. RECYCLE; or compost it when it reaches the end of its lifecycle;
• If possible, plant a tree to commemorate 2023 PHC.

MONITORING AND EVALUATION OF THE 2023 POPULATION AND HOUSING
CENSUS
3.1 Background
The National Population Commission is conducting the 2023 Population and Housing Census,
a critical exercise to collect accurate and reliable data on the population and housing status in
the country. The census data serves as a basis for national development planning, resource
allocation, and policy formulation. To ensure the success of the census, extensive preparations
have been made, including the development of methodologies, recruitment of personnel, and
the provision of training for various functionaries involved in the census process.
Several preparatory activities have been carried out, and these activities have been monitored
and evaluated to ensure their effectiveness and efficiency. As the main census activities are
about to begin, it is crucial to continue the monitoring and evaluation process to ensure the
quality and reliability of the collected data. The main census activities, divided into two major
activities – Building Numbering and Housing Listing, and Enumeration of Persons – will
facilitate obtaining a comprehensive view of the Nigeria’s demographic, social, and economic
characteristics, as well as housing conditions and infrastructure.
Given the importance of the census data and the need to ensure its accuracy and reliability, it
is essential to monitor and evaluate the trainings and field exercises, assessing the performance
of the field functionaries and identifying any challenges or issues that may arise during the
census process. This monitoring and evaluation will contribute to the overall success of the
2023 Population and Housing Census.
3.2 Objectives
The overall objective of monitoring and evaluating the 2023 Population and Housing Census
is to ensure the effective implementation of the census activities and the collection of high-
quality data. Specifically, the objectives of the monitoring and evaluation exercise are:
i. To assess the effectiveness of the trainings for field functionaries in equipping them
with the necessary knowledge and skills to perform their roles efficiently. This includes
evaluating the clarity of the training content, the appropriateness of the training
methods, and the relevance of the materials provided to the field functionaries.
ii. To evaluate the quality of the fieldwork during the Building Numbering and Housing
Listing, and Enumeration of Persons exercises. This involves assessing the adherence
to the established methodologies, and the effectiveness of the supervision and support
provided to the field functionaries.
iii. To identify any challenges, gaps, or issues encountered during the census activities and
provide recommendations for addressing them. This will help ensure that the census
process runs smoothly, and any potential obstacles are identified and resolved in a
timely manner.
iv. To assess the overall readiness and performance of the field functionaries during the
census exercise. This includes evaluating their understanding of the census

Page | 18
methodologies, their ability to use the census tools and applications effectively, and
their capacity to handle unforeseen situations that may arise during the fieldwork.
v. To provide feedback that will enable continuous improvement of the census process
and contribute to the success of the 2023 Population and Housing Census. This includes
sharing the findings and recommendations from the monitoring and evaluation exercise
with the relevant stakeholders, allowing them to make informed decisions and adjust
the census process as needed to ensure its success.
Through these objectives, the monitoring and evaluation exercise aims to ensure that the 2023
Population and Housing Census is conducted efficiently, accurately, and transparently,
providing high-quality data for national development planning and policy formulation.
3.3 Methodology
The monitoring and evaluation exercise will use a combination of qualitative and quantitative
methods to assess the trainings and field exercises during the 2023 Population and Housing
Census. The methodology will involve the following steps:
• Observation: M&E officers will observe the training sessions and field exercises to
assess the quality of the training delivery, the implementation of the methodologies, and
the performance of the field functionaries. This will be done using observation
checklists and standardized criteria for evaluating the various aspects of the census
process.
• Daily Feedback: M&E officers will request feedback from the field functionaries and
trainers during the trainings and field exercises. The feedback tool will be designed to
capture both quantitative and qualitative data, providing insights into the participants'
perception of the training, fieldwork, and overall census process.
• Interviews: M&E officers will conduct interviews with the trainers, field functionaries,
and other stakeholders to gather feedback on the quality of the training, the
implementation of the census methodologies, and any challenges or issues encountered
during the field exercises.
• Data Analysis: The data collected through the observation, feedback, and interviews
will be analyzed to identify trends, patterns, and gaps in the training and fieldwork
processes. The results will be summarized and presented in a report, highlighting the
key findings and recommendations for improving the census process.
• M&E Alerts: Throughout the monitoring and evaluation exercise, the M&E system
will maintain open communication channels with the Census Management to share
real-time information on emerging issues and challenges in the field. These M&E Alerts
will enable management to take prompt action in addressing any problems or concerns,
ensuring the smooth implementation of the census activities and minimizing the
potential impact of these issues on the overall quality of the data.

Page | 19
Overall, the monitoring and evaluation exercise will be conducted with the aim of providing
timely and actionable feedback that will enable continuous improvement of the census process
and ensure that the field functionaries are adequately prepared to perform their roles during the
2023 Population and Housing Census.
3.4 Monitoring Modality and Deployment of M&E Officers
The monitoring and evaluation process for the 2023 Population and Housing Census will
involve a comprehensive deployment of M&E officers to ensure adequate coverage of the
enumeration areas (EAs) and the effective assessment of the census activities. A total of 1,465
M&E officers will be involved, including staff of the National Population Commission, staff
of Ministries, Departments and Agencies (MDAs), members of academia, members of civil
society organizations, and retired staff of the commission.
The M&E system aims to cover up to 5% of the enumeration areas over the period of the
census. M&E officers will be deployed in a way that ensures each officer will monitor up to 20
enumeration areas. In local government areas (LGAs) where 5% of the enumeration areas is
more than 20, additional officers will be assigned to ensure adequate coverage and monitoring
of the census activities.
The deployment strategy will involve the following steps:
1. Distribution of M&E officers across the enumeration areas, ensuring that each officer
is responsible for monitoring up to 20 enumeration areas. This distribution will be
guided by the proportion of enumeration areas in each LGA, with additional officers
assigned to LGAs where 5% of the enumeration areas is more than 20.
2. Development of monitoring schedules and plans for each M&E officer, outlining their
assigned enumeration areas and the timeline for monitoring activities. This will help
ensure efficient use of resources and effective coverage of the census activities.
3. Provision of necessary tools, resources, and training to the M&E officers to enable them
to perform their monitoring and evaluation tasks effectively. This may include the use
of monitoring checklists, feedback tools, and guidelines for conducting interviews and
observations.
Throughout the census process, M&E officers will maintain close communication with the
Census Management, providing regular updates and M&E Alerts to ensure prompt action is
taken to address any emerging issues or challenges.
3.5 Expected Outcomes
The monitoring and evaluation of the 2023 Population and Housing Census is designed to
achieve several key outcomes, which are outlined below:
i. Improved Training and Fieldwork Effectiveness: Through the monitoring and
evaluation exercise, it is expected that the effectiveness of the training and
fieldwork activities will be enhanced. The feedback gathered during the exercise
will help to identify areas of improvement in the training process, fieldwork

Page | 20
methodologies, and overall census implementation, ensuring that these activities are
relevant and efficient.
ii. Increased Capacity of Field Functionaries: The training and monitoring activities
aim to build the capacity of the field functionaries, including enumerators,
supervisors, and other field staff. The monitoring and evaluation exercise is
expected to show that the training and fieldwork activities have achieved this goal.
The field functionaries should be better equipped with the knowledge and skills
required to carry out their duties effectively, ensuring that the census data collected
is of high quality.
iii. Improved Census Data Quality: The goal of the training, fieldwork, and
monitoring and evaluation exercises is to ensure that the census data collected is of
high quality. By building the capacity of the field functionaries and ensuring that
they have the necessary skills to carry out their duties, the monitoring and
evaluation exercise should lead to improved census data quality.
iv. Enhanced Coordination and Communication: The monitoring and evaluation
exercise will help to enhance coordination and communication among various
stakeholders involved in the census process. By maintaining open communication
channels with the Census Management, M&E officers will ensure that emerging
issues are promptly addressed, leading to a more efficient and well-coordinated
census implementation process.
v. Increased Accountability and Transparency: The monitoring and evaluation
exercise will help to increase accountability and transparency in the census process.
By systematically assessing the performance of the field functionaries, the training
process, and the fieldwork methodologies, the M&E activities will provide a basis
for decision-making and resource allocation, ensuring that the census is conducted
in a transparent and accountable manner.
vi. Evidence-based Decision-making: The monitoring and evaluation exercise will
provide evidence-based insights that can inform decision-making and policy
formulation at various levels of government. By ensuring the collection of high-
quality data, the monitoring and evaluation activities will contribute to the
development of more effective policies and programs for national development
planning.
Overall, the expected outcomes of the monitoring and evaluation exercise are aimed at ensuring
that the 2023 Population and Housing Census is effectively implemented, resulting in the
collection of high-quality data that can be used for national development planning and policy
formulation.
3.6 Conclusion
In conclusion, the monitoring and evaluation of the 2023 Population and Housing Census is
crucial for ensuring the successful implementation of the census and the achievement of its
objectives. The comprehensive monitoring and evaluation process outlined in this concept note,
which includes a thorough deployment of M&E officers, an effective monitoring modality, and

CATALOGUE OF DATA COLLECTION APPLICATION CHANGES
4.1 List of Changes in Data Collection Application
There have been several changes to the data collection applications – the CensusPAD and the
CSEntry. All changes have been listed in the table below and followed by a pictorial
description.
S/N BEFORE AFTER
CENSUSPAD
1 PROFILE ACTIVATION
Enumerators activated their profile using the
LGA Code, EA Code, and Geo political
Zones
Currently, profile is activated using phone
numbers and an OTP is sent to the profiled
phone number, through SMS or Voice Call.
2 Enumerators fetched the EA polygon,
Building Points, and Geopoints of only their
assigned EAs
All EAs in an SA assigned to a profiled phone
number are automatically fetched with the
required dataset.
Supervisors are also required to assign
buildings to enumerators for each EA, in an SA
on the CensusPad, as chalked on the wall
(Census Building Number).
3 SECONDARY HOUSING UNIT A new question has been introduced to sort out
the issue of the Secondary Housing Unit.
WHAT IS THE BUILDING
ARRANGEMENT?
Enumerators are to select “Compound” in the
case of a secondary housing unit to the primary
building (Where the head of household resides.
And consequently select “Secondary housing
Unit” in building use. This allows the
Enumerator to be able to select the primary
building where the head of household is listed.
A building is said to be a secondary housing
unit when its Head of Household is in a
separate building/structure in the same
compound.
NOTE: any building having two different
households in it, is not a secondary household
if one of its households is not part of the
primary household, e.g in the case of Tenancy
4 BUILDING ARRANGEMENT Building structure question has been modified
to "What is the building arrangement" This
question helps collect information on building
arrangement. That is, if the building is located
in a Compound, free standing, Terrace/semi
detached or temporary structure.

Page | 23
NOTE: A Terrace/Semi detached
arrangement has its structure (building
structure) to be a Terrace building or a Semi
detached building.
A temporary structure on the other hand, has
its building structure to be, a Metal Container,
Porta Cabin, or Kiosk.
Also note that buildings occupied by
SECONDARY HOUSING UNIT can only be
linked to the main building when
COMPOUND building arrangement is
selected.
5 BUILDING USE BUILDING USE
Residential (Dwelling Units Only): This is
meant to be selected for residential buildings
with occupants. Households must be added
during Household listing. Only regular and
Census Functionary households can be added
to this building.
Residential with Social Services: This is
meant to be selected for residential buildings
that are also partly used for schools or
hospitals. Buildings that are residential with
social services can have more than one
different type of household in them including
Institutional Households.
Residential (Completed) but Unoccupied:
This was introduced to cover residential
buildings that are not currently occupied
during listing but might have occupants during
enumeration.
Secondary Housing Unit: These are for
households in a building, whose primary head
of household is in another building in the
compound. But the primary head of household
and the secondary housing unit, must be the
only occupants in their respective buildings.
Having a different household in that building
nullifies its secondary housing unit status.
6 SPECIAL GEO - POINTS When listing a special geo point, the form now
asks only two questions, the type of space the
special geo point occupies, and the category of
special population found.
NOTE: If the Category of geopoint is
“Homeless Household”, they are to be
enumerated , under Household Type - Regular

Page | 24
HH, and Residence Type - Homeless
Household.
If the Category of geopoint is “Homeless
Person, or Transient person”, they are to be
enumerated under Household Type - Floating
and Transient population.and the residence
type where they are found.
7 VERIFIED BUILDINGS Enumerators are to work on only the buildings
assigned to them by their supervisor and
cannot exceed the number of buildings
assigned to them.
All verified buildings now show at the top of
all buildings in the file tree.
The building verified bar, in task 1, shows the
total buildings verified compared with the
number of buildings assigned to the
enumerator (Its completion rate).
Verified building color changes to white after
clicking on "Show building"
8 EDIT FEATURE IN LISTING Verified buildings and households can now be
edited in Listing , only after validation and
approval has been granted by the FDQM.
NOTE: That this tool only works when an EA
has been flagged
9 SYNCHRONIZATION All buildings and households, geopoints listed
can be wrapped up and synchronized to the
cloud on CensusPad. All Successfully synched
buildings and households will be marked with
a green sign.
All households enumerated can also be
synchronized to the cloud in Task 3 through the
"SYNCH ENUMERATION BUTTON" The
latest version of the CSEntry application
automatically downloads to the tablet, when
synchronization occurs.
10 REFETCHING TASK 1: Building Numbering and Household
Listing, cannot be resumed after Refetching is
done in Task 3: Persons Enumeration.
Building and household refetching is carried
out automatically after "REFETCH
BUTTON" is clicked. Refetching of buildings
in Task 3 is only allowed if both the Supervisor
checks and FDQM checks are both "Validated"

Page | 25
Otherwise, if both Status are in "Pending" or
the FDQM status is "Flagged" you can’t
refetch or proceed to enumeration.
11 TEAM COVERAGE/PROGRESS In TEAM COVERAGE/PROGRESS,
enumerators and supervisors can view all
buildings listed by the whole team. Building
Information is shown including the name of the
enumerator who verified the building, and the
date it was verified.
Supervisors on the other can not only see the
building information, but can also ‘View
Remarks” made by the FDQM on that EA,
“Mark this EA as completed”, which will
show all Buildings that are residential
/institutional but without households, for
enumerators to go back and correct,
Supervisors and DQAA can only mark EAs as
completed after 100% job completion and
residential buildings checking to make sure all
buildings have been listed “View building
Mismatch” and “Launch Reinterview”
12 SYSTEM SETTINGS Training mode - Training mode has been
made available for class simulation and can be
toggled on and off.
Active field Simulation - This can also be
toggled on and off and will be used during the
field work.
13 CHANGE HOUSEHOLD TYPE
BUTTON
This option gives you access to alter the
“household type and/residential type”
previously selected during listing, if any
changes have occurred during Enumeration.
CSENTRY
1 QR CODE CSEntry now uses QR Code to download the
application (questionnaire) to be used for
enumeration.
2 PUBLISHED DATE/ VERSION
NUMBER
The application now shows the version number
and date of release, to enable enumerators to
keep track of recent updates to the application.
3 CONFIDENTIALITY STATEMENT Enumerators can no longer select “No Read”
and move to the next section. It is now
mandatory for the confidentiality statement to
be read or acknowledged to be read, before
proceeding to the next section.
4 GPS READING GPS location is taken for the first household
being interviewed in a building. It no longer
pops up for all the households in a building.

Page | 26
Enumerators can choose to continue with the
GPS Reading obtained or take another reading
for better accuracy.
The ideal GPS reading accuracy is 5 meters.
5 PARTIAL SAVE
To access partial saved cases, enumerators
had to click on “show partial saved” to
access all partial saved cases in that building
When carrying out the interview
(enumeration) on CSEntry, Enumerators can
easily tap on the back button, a pop up message
comes up to “ save and quit(in partial status)”.
This saves the interview as a partial saved case
and goes back to the household card on
CensusPad.
To access a partial saved case, simply open the
household again on CensusPad. This opens the
interview again, and CSEntry shows a pop up
for the enumerators to either “Continue
questionnaire” or “Close the application”. Tap
on “Continue questionnaire”
6 HH TYPE
a. REGULAR This is the most conventional household type
and they are required to have a head of
household.
During Enumeration, all persons are to be
listed first , beginning with the head of
household. This is called a “household roster”.
After listing all persons in the household, the
CSentry application automatically starts the
interview for each member of the household,
beginning compulsorily from the head of
household.
A pop up message comes up after the roster for
Enumerator to confirm if the head of
household is available for the interview. If
YES, he is to proceed with the interview. If
NO, he is to save and close the application,
until when the head of household is available.
Regular households are required to answer all
questionnaire modules including household
based questions as applicable to Age and Sex.
b. DIPLOMATIC CORPS Diplomatic Corps are not to be Listed or
Enumerated by Enumerators. Diplomatic
Corps questionnaire will be self Administered
and will be issued by NPC to Foreign Affairs.
They are required to answer only Background
Demographics (Name, Age, Sex, DOB),
Migration, and Economic Characteristics

Page | 27
(Engagement in Work and Occupation)
Questions in the Questionnaire.
c. INSTITUTIONAL LONG STAY During enumeration, members of institutional
Households (Long Stay and Short Stay) are not
listed in a household roster, like in the case of
Regular households, rather each individual is
enumerated fully , before the next person is
added.
All institutional households do not answer
Household based questions, such as Mortality,
Housing Characteristics and Amenities,
Sanitation and Climate change.
Institutional Long stay answers all Individual
based Questions , except Fertility and Child
Survival.
d. INSTITUTIONAL SHORT STAY Institutional Short is to be treated similarly to
Institutional Long stay, but they answer all
individual based questions except, Economic
Characteristics and Fertility and Child
Survival.
e. FLOATING/TRANSIENT POPULATION Floating and Transient Population are to be
enumerated Similarly to Institutional
Households but as a special Geo point.
They answer all questions except fertility and
child survival and all household based
questions.
7 QUESTIONNAIRE MODULES
a.
BEFORE AFTER
1. NAME
There were confirmation messages asking to
confirm if a respondent has no nickname or
middle name
Pop up messages asking to confirm if the
respondent has no nickname or middle name
has been removed.
2. Middlename was previously rejecting names
that were not up to 3 characters.
Middle Name is now allowing one or more
characters to cover those with only two digits
or more as name..
3. D.O.B
Enumerators were to select January for those
whose month of birth is not known but falls
at the early part of the year, and July for those
whose month falls at the later part of the year.
“Don’t Know” which was previously removed
as an option in all Months in D.O.B and death,
was reintroduced, because the previous
method made it difficult to isolate those who
were actually born in January from those who
only guessed their month of birth, in analysis.
The “Instructions to Enumerators” were also
replaced.
4 RELATIONSHIP TO HEAD Head of household is no longer asked this
question as it is automatically prefilled, and all

Page | 28
Head of household was asked “relationship
to head of household” and the options also
included; census functionary, institutional
long stay and short stay, floating and
transient population.
other household type options were
automatically prefilled, considering that they
were not meant to answer “relationship to head
of household” in the questionnaire.
Hard Checks were also put in place based on
Age and Sex, e.g a male cannot be a “Co-Wife”
to the head of household who is male”.
5 Enumerators could select who to begin
enumerating in the household roster
Enumerators can no longer select anyone to
start interviewing, as interviews compulsorily
and automatically start from the head of
household.
If the head of household is not available for
enumeration, after listing in the roster,
enumerators are expected to close the case, and
resume when he/she is available.
6 Confirmation message that all persons in hh
have been listed was the same for all
household types.
This has been customized for all household
types
7 No comparisons between total number of
persons in Household listing and during
Enumeration.
Total males, females, and total persons in
listing data is now compared immediately with
enumeration data. Enumerators can decide to
ignore or add persons based on what is seen on
ground, and considering that method of listing
is de jure.
8 MARITAL STATUS
Age at first marriage was fixed at 10 years
and above
Age at first marriage now begins at 8 years ,
but a soft check was put in place for
respondents to confirm that he/she got married
at that age.
9 SURVIVAL STATUS OF PARENTS
There was no check if biological father or
mother is listed in the household roster if
‘Yes, in this household, elsewhere, No, or
Don’t Know” is selected
There is a hard check for scenarios like this.
Enumerators are to review the roster or select
the appropriate option.
b.
1. NATIONALITY
Someone who’s nationality is unknown has
to select a country in Nationality and place
of birth
Unknown was introduced as an option for
those whose country and place of birth is not
known, when Nationality is Unknown is
selected.
2 No place of reference in migration questions. Place of reference has been included in the
questions in P16:place of usual residence, P18:
Duration, P20: reason for movement,
P23:Previous residence, to enable enumerators
to know the locality, LGA, State being referred
to.

Page | 29
3 PLACE OF USUAL RESIDENCE
No checks for place of usual residence.
If No is selected in place of usual residence,
respondents are not allowed to select “Since
Birth” in Duration, considering they’ve moved
from their place of usual residence to the place

schooling he is currently attending is junior
secondary. Scenarios like these are checked.

ENUMERATION AREA AND BUILDING
FRAME: FETCH FRAME
This section shows the list of all your enumeration areas and
access to download all required dataset within an enumeration
area.
● Previously, Enumerators fetched the EA polygon, Building
Points, and Geopoints of only their assigned EAs.
● Now, all EAs in an SA assigned to a profiled phone number are
automatically fetched with the required dataset.Supervisors are
also required to assign buildings to enumerators for each EA, in
an SA on the CensusPad, as chalked on the wall (Census
Building Number).

ENUMERATION AREA AND BUILDING FRAME:
ASSIGNMENT SHEET
On the assignment sheet, the supervisor is expected to input
the census building number (as chalked on wall) where
enumerator is to commence listing and end listing.
NOTE: This task must be done by the supervisor after he has
completely chalked all buildings in the enumeration Area.

BUILDING UPDATE FORM: SECONDARY HOUSING UNIT
A new question has been introduced to sort out
the issue of the Secondary Housing Unit.
WHAT IS THE BUILDING ARRANGEMENT?
Enumerators are to select “Compound” in the
case of a secondary housing unit to the primary
building (Where the head of household resides).
And consequently select “Secondary housing
Unit” in building use. This allows the Enumerator
to be able to select the primary building where the
head of household resides.
A building is said to be a secondary housing unit
when its Head of Household is in a separate
building/structure in the same compound.
NOTE: any building having two different
households in it, is not a secondary household.
Both the primary building and the secondary
housing unit MUST be the only households
occupying both buildings.

BUILDING UPDATE FORM: BUILDING USE
Residential (Dwelling Units Only): This is meant to be
selected for residential buildings with occupants.
Households must be added during Household listing. Only
regular and Census Functionary households can be added to
this building.
Residential with Social Services: This is meant to be
selected for residential buildings that are also partly used for
schools or hospitals. Buildings that are residential with
social services can have more than one different type of
household in them including Institutional Households.
Residential (Completed) but Unoccupied: This was
introduced to cover residential buildings that are not
currently occupied during listing but might have occupants
during enumeration.
Secondary Housing Unit: These are for households in a
building, whose primary head of household is in another
building in the compound. But the primary head of
household and the secondary housing unit, must be the only
occupants in their respective buildings. Having a different
household in that building nullifies its secondary housing
unit status.

HOUSE LISTING FORM
After clicking on the add household button, the census
household listing form (FORM 07) is displayed for
enumerators to fill in the household details and save.
This form is filled for each household in the building
NOTE:
✔ Only Regular, Diplomatic and Census Functionary
Household can be added to a Residential Building.
✔ Only Institutional long stay and short stay can be added to
an institutional building.
✔ Any household type can be added to a residential building,
when Building Use is “Residential with Social Services”

SPECIAL GEO POINTS
When listing a special geo point, the form now
asks only two questions, the type of space the
special geo point occupies, and the category of
special population found.
NOTE: If the Category of geopoint is “Homeless
Household”, they are to be enumerated , under
Household Type - Regular HH, and Residence
Type - Homeless Household.
If the Category of geopoint is “Homeless Person,
or Transient person”, they are to be enumerated
under Household Type - Floating and Transient
population. Select the residence type where they
are found.
11

VERIFIED BUILDINGS
Enumerators are to work on only the buildings
assigned to them by their supervisor and
cannot exceed the number of buildings
assigned to them.
All verified buildings now shows at the top of
all buildings in the file tree.
The building verified bar, in task 1, shows the
total buildings verified compared with the
number of buildings assigned to the
enumerator (Its completion rate). This can be
updated and refreshed using the REFRESH
button.
12

EDIT FEATURE IN LISTING
Verified buildings and households can now be
edited in Listing , only after validation and approval
has been granted by the FDQM.
● Select the Edit icon to Edit the building
Update Form.

CSEntry application automatically downloads to the tablet,
when synchronization occurs.
NOTE:
✔ For buildings that have been successfully synchronized,
the red “X” icon will be changed to a green “check” icon.

SUPERVISOR’S TASK
In TEAM COVERAGE/PROGRESS,
enumerators and supervisors can view all
buildings listed by the whole team. Building
Information is shown including the name of
the enumerator who verified the building, and
the date it was verified.
Supervisors on the other can not only see the
building information, but can also ‘View
Remarks” made by the FDQM on that EA,
“Mark this EA as completed”, which will
show all Buildings that are residential
/institutional but without households, for
enumerators to go back and correct,
Supervisors and DQAA can only mark EAs as
completed after 100% job completion and
residential buildings checking to make sure all
buildings have been listed “View building
Mismatch” and “Launch Reinterview”

The ideal GPS reading accuracy is 5
meters.

PARTIAL SAVE
In a scenario where enumeration is paused in the middle of an interview, this can be saved as
a partial saved case, to be returned to later for completion. The steps in creating or locating a
partial saved case are as follows:

HOUSEHOLD TYPES
REGULAR HOUSEHOLD: This is the most conventional household type
and they are required to have a head of household.
During Enumeration, all persons are to be listed first , beginning with the
head of household. This is called a “household roster”.
After listing all persons in the household, the CSentry application
automatically starts the interview for each member of the household,
beginning compulsorily from the head of household.
A pop up message comes up after the roster for Enumerator to confirm if the
head of household is available for the interview. If YES, he is to proceed with
the interview. If NO, he is to save and close the application, until when the
head of household is available.
Regular households are required to answer all questionnaire modules
including household based questions as applicable to Age and Sex.

HOUSEHOLD TYPES

members are meant to be listed first in a household before
proceeding to interview each individual household. This is called a
“Household Roster”. Enumeration automatically begins with the
head of the household, before proceeding to other members.
Enumerators are to select;
● “YES” if there are more household members to be added
to the household.
● “NO” if there are no more household members to be
added to the household.

fully , before the next person is added.
All institutional households do not answer Household based questions, such as Mortality, Housing Characteristics and
Amenities, Sanitation and Climate change.
Institutional Long stay answers all Individual based Questions , except Fertility and Child Survival.
INSTITUTIONAL SHORT STAY: Institutional Short Stay is to be treated similarly to Institutional Long stay, but
they answer all individual based questions except, Economic Characteristics and Fertility and Child Survival.

Institutional Households but as a special Geo point.
They answer all questions except fertility and child survival and all household based questions.

QUESTIONNAIRE MODULE CHANGES
BACKGROUND DEMOGRAPHIC AND SOCIAL CHARACTERISTICS

1. NAME
There were confirmation messages asking to confirm if a
respondent has no nickname or middle name
Pop up messages asking to confirm if the respondent has no

and July for those whose month falls at the later part of the
year.
“Don’t Know” which was previously removed as an option in
all Months in D.O.B and death, was reintroduced, because the
previous method made it difficult to isolate those who were
actually born in January from those who only guessed their
month of birth, in analysis.
The “Instructions to Enumerators” were also replaced.

4 RELATIONSHIP TO HEAD
Head of household was asked “relationship to head of
household” and the options also included; census
functionary, institutional long stay and short stay,
floating and transient population.
Head of household is no longer asked this question as it is
automatically prefilled, and all other household type options
were automatically prefilled, considering that they were not
meant to answer “relationship to head of household” in the
questionnaire.
Hard Checks were also put in place based on Age and Sex,
e.g a male cannot be a “Co-Wife” to the head of household
who is male”.
5 Enumerators could select who to begin enumerating in
the household roster
Enumerators can no longer select anyone to start
interviewing, as interviews compulsorily and automatically
start from the head of household.
If the head of household is not available for enumeration,
after listing in the roster, enumerators are expected to close
the case, and resume when he/she is available.
