The Ghana Statistical Service (GSS) will this morning begin a trial census in selected districts across the country.
They are the Dormaa West in the Bono Region, Bunkprugu in the North East Region and Accra Metropolis, specifically Ashiedu Keteke, Ledzokuku, Korley Klottey, Ayawaso West and Okaikoi South, in the Greater Accra Region.
The trial census commenced on the stroke of midnight to serve as reference point for information collection and enumeration of residents in the designated areas.
Mr Francis Nyarko-Larbi, Head of Census Publicity, Education and Advocacy Committee told the Ghanaian Times on Saturday, that all was set for the three-month exercise.
The conduct of the census is in accordance with the Statistical Service Law, 1985 (PNDCL 135), which empowers the Government Statistician to conduct statistical surveys and any census in Ghana.
The mock exercise is in preparation towards the 2020 Population and Housing Census.
