    Data Collection Notes

    As an initial step, the census frame was prepared in January 2006 by listing all the institutions under each Ministry
    and provincial council.. A coordinating officer was appointed to each institution of the Ministry under the Central government and to the Provincial councils to monitor the census and to liaise with the Department of Census and Statistics.

    All the Institutions were asked to provide the number of employees according to the paysheet of January 2006.
    Based on that estimate all census documents were sent to the coordinating officers to distribute among the
    employees. Collecting duly filled schedules, preparing the summary form and returning filed schedules were responsibilities of the coordinating officers. The information was collected through a postal enquiry where every employee had to fill a questionnaire individually.

    Data processing

    Data Editing

    The data were entered in more than 15 microcomputers using the specially prepared software in CsPro.
