Guinea starts its fourth RGPH-4 to gather accurate housing data
(MENAFN) Guinea has begun its fourth General Population and Housing Census (RGPH-4), an initiative aimed at gathering accurate and current demographic and housing data to support government planning and development strategies.
The national census, officially launched during a ceremony on Saturday, is scheduled to last four weeks and will reach every household throughout the country. The Prime Minister announced the commencement of the project and underscored its national importance.
Officials stated that the census, organized by the National Institute of Statistics, includes all residents of Guinea—both citizens and foreign nationals. Citizens were urged to respond truthfully to questions posed by field workers to ensure the reliability of the collected data.
Over 23,000 enumerators have been selected, trained, and dispatched across the country to gather critical details about the population and housing conditions. This data is expected to play a significant role in shaping Guinea’s public policy agenda.
“Census-taking is not an isolated event; it is a strategic tool for sovereignty and effectiveness,” said Ismael Nabe, the minister overseeing planning and international cooperation.
According to Nabe, the information gathered will serve as a foundation for assessing government initiatives and modifying them as needed to better address the country’s needs.
A representative speaking on behalf of international donors affirmed ongoing support for the census process, reiterating the importance of such data in informing development efforts across Guinea.
