The Census and Statistics Department (C&SD) adopts a programme management structure as a framework to ensure that resources are utilised effectively, efficiently and in the right priorities in support of relevant policy decisions. There are altogether six programmes in the work of the department, which are further broken down into 17 activities. These work programmes cover different socio-economic aspects, including trade, social, national account and balance of payments, general statistical services, price, industry and service, and labour statistics. New initiatives for improving efficiency and plans for future development would be drawn up regularly. The work programmes are also updated annually and represent the cornerstone of corporate planning for C&SD.
