  8. Coding • Coded Major Area, Country of birth, Binary education, Occupation and Industry (4 digits) • Using (+) skips, (/) ending group occ. and Crtl+/ for ending group. • Manager for the new codes plus logistics. • Code at least 40 questionnaires/day. UN Regional Workshop on Census Data Processing: contemporary technologies for census data capture and editing, Dar es Salaam, Tanzania, 9-13 June 2008

  9. Data Entry • Data entry program (in house) ready 2006 • Modified 2007 for minimising automation (TA). • Manager for moving and recording batches. • Lean staff Oct. 2007 (8)full staff Feb. 2008 (36) • Done by region at min of 100 cases/day. • Overtime for weekends to meet deadlines. UN Regional Workshop on Census Data Processing: contemporary technologies for census data capture and editing, Dar es Salaam, Tanzania, 9-13 June 2008

  10. Data Validation • 4 wks inconsistencies, 4 wks edit specs. • CSBatch used with modifications with some TA. • Modified CSEntry for verification (Feb. 2008) • Manager for moving and recording batches. • Concurrently finalised tabulation plan. • Identified analytical report chapter authors. UN Regional Workshop on Census Data Processing: contemporary technologies for census data capture and editing, Dar es Salaam, Tanzania, 9-13 June 2008

  11. Problems • Inadequate vehicles for fieldwork. • Red tape in the recruitment exercise. • Pressure on coders e.g. 2122 coded as 4122. • New codes for chiefs • Changing of DD for collectives, e.g. Barracks… • Making Chief_ID as a PK given it can be null. • Jumbling of qstns during entry when verifying. • Changing of DD on edit specs to suit RETADUM. • Use of slash(/) and Crtl+(/) for keyers.
