National Census Report 2001, GrenadaCensus Reports; five (5) Regional Special Topic Monographs; a volume of Basic Tables;training of personnel in demographic analysis through a seven-week workshop facilitated byUWI; and the establishment of an online facility to enable access to census data by users foranalysis, 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 and populationanalysis, thereby enabling its use in policy and decision-making. Statisticians are in shortsupply in the Region and the area of demography is even more severely affected. TheCensus Data Analysis project provided a common framework for enabling comparability ofthe demographic transition and population characteristics across Member States based on theelements outlined in the content of the National Census Report. Additionally the reports areable to highlight trends in the demographic transition of the population of Member Countriesfrom youthful to ageing populations; to make significant linkages with respect to education,training and economic activity; or economic activity with gender and fertility. The processof preparing the reports also allowed for quality checks on data, with the support of theUnited Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) and the United Nations Economic Commissionfor Latin American and the 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 train personnelin the Region, with the first one funded out of the CCDP and the remaining three from amulti-programme technical assistance project, with funds received from the CaribbeanDevelopment Bank (CDB). In addition, a short course for senior officials from statisticalofficers was also undertaken with CDB funding.It is hoped that these Reports will benefit the countries through providing the analysis withregard to their age, sex, education, occupation, economic activity and other criticalcharacteristics that are important to aid the formulation of policy and decision-making, bothpublic and private, such as government officials, researchers, academics, members of thebusiness community and civil society. Furthermore, the experience gained, together with theefforts to strengthen capacity, will equip the Region to analyse the results of the 2010Census.The CARICOM Secretariat takes this opportunity to thank all persons and organisations whohave been associated with this Statistics project.EDWIN W.
