Abstract
The World Bank is developing a project
to develop the capacity of the Central Administration for
Statistics (CAS) of Lebanon to produce demographic and
social statistics. In the absence of population censuses,
the census of buildings and dwelling is one of the few
sources of comprehensive data and information at the
national level. The census that CAS is planning for
2010-2011 has been identified as an initial candidate for
implementation-technical assistance under the current
project. The CAS has requested technical support which will
run over the life of the Census, from the initiation of the
census to the analysis of data, which would extend over the
current and the coming fiscal years. In this context, the
World Bank organized a one month mission to explore the
prospects for this technical assistance. The first two weeks
of the mission, Monday 23, March 2009 to Saturday 4, April
2009 focused on assessment. The second two weeks, Monday 6,
April 2009 to Saturday 18, April 2009, focused on technical
assistance. This note is divided into four volumes. Volume I
is an assessment made during the first half of the mission.
Volume II addresses the questions related to the Design and
Management of the Census of Buildings and Dwellings, drawing
from the main conclusions of the assessment phase. Volume
III addresses development of the questionnaire for the
census of buildings and dwellings. It identifies the
recommendations related to the design of the
questionnaire(s) that will be used to conduct the next
census of buildings and dwellings. Volume IV addresses
design of a large-scale household survey (10 percent of
households, or 50,000 households) that might be conducted
concurrently with the census of buildings and dwellings to
generate socio-demographic data of the kind that would be
produced by a census of population and housing.
