The Ministry of Planning’s statement that the census is a developmental work and does not have any objectives related to cutting social subsidies or taxing the population is an important step to reassure citizens and encourage them to cooperate in this project.

The census is an essential tool for strategic planning and decision-making related to economic and social development. It contributes to:

Identifying the population’s needs for services such as health, education, housing, and infrastructure.
Designing more accurate policies based on realistic data about the population and its distribution.
Directing investments better to areas in need of development.
This message from the ministry helps clarify that the census does not aim to compromise people’s interests, but rather seeks to improve services and ensure distributional justice and sustainable development.
