Bolivia avanza en recogida de material de censo de población - Noticias Prensa Latina

The Bolivian Institute of Statistics confirms that the national census data collection is nearing completion, with only Cochabamba and Santa Cruz remaining in the transfer phase. Once finalized, the institute will proceed with data cleaning, processing, and international verification, ensuring high technical quality through full electronic scanning of questionnaires. This rigorous post-census phase is crucial for transforming raw field data into reliable, usable information for public policy. The final results will be released in stages, providing demographic and housing data at both departmental and municipal levels throughout this year and early next year. These findings are not merely administrative records but fundamental tools for national development. By validating the census universe through municipal requests and international oversight, the process ensures that the resulting statistics accurately reflect the population’s reality, enabling targeted social strategies. This article is relevant to open data because it highlights the critical journey from raw data collection to public availability. It demonstrates how transparent, standardized, and verified datasets empower governments to improve quality of life and support evidence-based decision-making. Open access to such comprehensive demographic and housing information allows researchers, civil society, and international organizations to analyze trends, hold authorities accountable, and design effective interventions, maximizing the societal impact of public statistics.
