Assignment Title: Preparation of Main Analytical Census Report

Reference No.: SVG-DDMP-CS-INDV-32

The Government of Saint Vincent and the Grenadines (GoSVG) has applied for financing from the World Bank toward the cost of the OECS Data for Decision Making Project (DDMP), and intends to apply part of the proceeds for consulting services for the Preparation of Main Analytical Census Report for the 2023 St. Vincent and the Grenadines Population and Housing Census.

The OECS Data for Decision Making (DDM) Project (the Project) is a regional project that seeks to improve the capacity of participating Eastern Caribbean countries to produce and publicly disseminate statistical data for country and regional level analytics. It is being implemented by Grenada, Saint Lucia, St. Vincent and the Grenadines, and the OECS Commission. The Project is being implemented over a five-year period ending in June 2027.

Additional details on the Project can be found at the following link: (https://documents1.worldbank.org/curated/en/520151651261033077/pdf/Grenada-Saint-Lucia-Saint-Vincent-and-the-Grenadines-Organization-of-Eastern-Caribbean-States-Commission-OECS-Data-for-Decision-Making-Project.pdf?_gl=1*1ixhs9b*_gcl_au*MTc4ODI0MTE2NC4xNzIzMDczMjIy ).

The population and housing census in St. Vincent and the Grenadines is carried out every 10 years and is one of the largest data collection activities undertaken by the National Statistical Office. The latest round of census data collection commenced in August of 2023. The census provides a count of the population and housing stock and collects information on the social, demographic, economic and geographic characteristics of the country.

The population and housing census provides a wealth of information which can be analyzed by different geographic levels such as communities, enumeration districts, parishes and at the national level. The census serves as the backbone for population estimates, sample frames and geographical data for the Statistical Office’s survey programmes and provides information for researchers, students, development partners, private sector and the general public. The Statistical Office under the OECS Data for Decision Making Project is seeking to hire an experienced consultant with expertise in census data analysis and report writing to prepare an analytical report for the 2023 Population and Housing Census.
