The HCP launches a call for tenders

The HCP is preparing to launch the seventh general population and housing census (RGPH) in 2024, as evidenced by the launch of the second call for tenders it has just launched for the implementation of a solution integrated computer. A decision which required the intervention of a specialized service provider in order to carry out the services relating to the realization of the various stages of the census in an integrated way in order to define the technical parameters of the computer programs most suitable for the realization of the next census.

The services to be provided consist of nine phases, starting with the configuration and installation of the solution, support in the dissemination of the results of the RGPH and training and support in carrying out the cartographic work.

Indeed, the institution has implemented this approach, which uses new technologies to collect data instead of paper questionnaires, within the framework of an information system that encompasses all stages of the census.

This approach consists of carrying out cartographic work using GPS techniques, updated and high-precision satellite images within the framework of a mobile geographic information system as well as the consolidation of statistical data using electronic tablets.

Also, this approach is likely to connect the components of the different geographical units including the census areas, the places of constructions, housing and professional premises with the statistical data consolidated during the different stages of the census, which will make it possible to improve the data quality and to enrich the geographic analysis of census data.
