[TZGISUG] Tanzania Census 2012 - release of figures to Ward level

[Mike Shand]

Dear TZGISUG,

It may interest you that the 2012 POPULATION AND HOUSING CENSUS, 
Population Distribution by Administrative Areas Report has now been 
published by the National Bureau of Statistics (NBS) in Pdf format at: 
http://www.nbs.go.tz/sensa/new.html
The Administrative Areas includes population data counts down to Ward 
level and including basic population maps at district level. At present 
the NBS has released Population Totals;  Male/Female; Average Household 
Size; and Sex Ratio figures.

It is very encouraging to see that the NBS are meeting its published 
Release Dates Calendar 
<http://www.nbs.go.tz/index.php?option=com_content&view=category&id=95&Itemid=112>.  
Hopefully the GIS shapefiles will be available later this year.

Regards,
Mike Shand
