Population and housing census is one of the primary sources of data needed for formulating, implementing and monitoring policies and programmes aimed at inclusive socioeconomic development. Over the past decades, methods adopted for the collection of population data have significantly evolved taking advantage of new data sources and technologies.
Thematic Area 1 of the UN World Data Forum 2023 covers exchanges of innovative experience in conducting census. While census technologies have to be based on national contexts, leveraging multiple data sources existing and rapidly developing information technology is a common direction for all.

Refugees and host communities in Kakuma, Kalobeyei and urban areas of Kenya live in better conditions with the help of data-informed policies. One example is the area-based development initiative in the Kalobeyei Integrated Socio-Economic Development Plan, supported by a panel survey on socio-economic conditions. While we increasingly hear of data being turned into valuable information for effective policies, thereby improving the lives of those forced to flee, refugee invisibility in official data collection systems persist. As of mid-2022, there are 32.5 million refugees; about 74 per cent are hosted in low- and middle-income countries, with 22 per cent located in the least developed countries. We increasingly know more about how conflict, poverty, climate change, laws and practices affect their lives.
