National Census Report 2001, St. Vincent and the GrenadinesBasic Tables; training of personnel in demographic analysis through a seven-weekworkshop facilitated by UWI; and the establishment of an online facility to enable accessto census data by users for analysis, research, policy formulation and decision-making.The Census Data Analysis project was aimed at filling the gap existing in the Region andspecifically within the national statistical systems in the area of demographic andpopulation analysis, thereby enabling its use in policy and decision-making. Statisticiansare in short supply in the Region and the area of demography is even more severelyaffected. The Census Data Analysis project provided a common framework for enablingcomparability of the demographic transition and population characteristics acrossMember States based on the elements outlined in the content of the National CensusReport. Additionally the reports are able to highlight trends in the demographic transitionof the population of Member Countries from youthful to ageing populations; to makesignificant linkages with respect to education, training and economic activity; oreconomic activity with gender and fertility. The process of preparing the reports alsoallowed for quality checks on data, with the support of the United Nations PopulationFund (UNFPA) and the United Nations Economic Commission for Latin American andthe Caribbean (UNECLAC).A major challenge that persists is that of having clean data sets for analysis. To mitigatethese data challenges, a series of four training courses is being undertaken to trainpersonnel in the Region, with the first one funded out of the CCDP and the remainingthree from a multi-programme technical assistance project, with funds received from theCaribbean Development Bank (CDB). In addition, a short course for senior officialsfrom statistical officers was also undertaken with CDB funding.It is hoped that these Reports will benefit the countries through providing the analysiswith regard to their age, sex, education, occupation, economic activity and other criticalcharacteristics that are important to aid the formulation of policy and decision-making,both public and private, such as government officials, researchers, academics, membersof the business community and civil society. Furthermore, the experience gained,together with the efforts to strengthen capacity, will equip the Region to analyse theresults of the 2010 Census.The CARICOM Secretariat takes this opportunity to thank all persons and organisationswho have been associated with this Statistics project.EDWIN W.
