BPS NEEDS RP5-6 TRILLION TO DO NATIONAL CENSUS IN 2010
Jakarta, Aug 20 (ANTARA) - The Central Bureau of Statistics( BPS) has estimated it will need Rp5-6 trillion in funds to carry out a national census in 2010 the results of which will be of the highest possible accuracy, a development planning official said.
"This is the total budget for the implementation of the census in detail in 2010, the needed preparations beginning in 2008, and everything else up to the end of the counting process," Subagio Dwijosumono, principal secretary at the National Development Planning Board (Bappenas), said here Wednesday.
He said, in the years leading up to the census, the bureau would organize training courses for the census-takers and a number of pilot projects.
"For the realization of the 2010 census, we need at least 450,000 census takers," he said.
Considering the limited number of BPS's own personnel (13.000 census takers), the bureau was planning to outsource additional manpower for the field work.
"But a sure thing is that nobody becomes a census taker without prior training and all census takers will work according to uniform guidelines and use uniform questionnaires," he said.
Additional census takers would be otsourced from all over the country and from various professions, including students and housewives.
"Anyone can apply (to work as census taker) but we already have a list of parties with whom we have been working on a partnership basis." he said.
Dwijosumono said apart from population censuses, BPS was also conducting an economic and agricultural census once every 10 years.
According to a census done in 2000, Indonesia has a population of about 202 million, he said.
