Sewage Quality Indicators
Sewage quality indicators like BOD, COD, and TOC are crucial in assessing the organic content of wastewater. Explore the characteristics of sewage, including physical, chemical, and biological components. Learn about biodegradable organics and the concept of Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD) in wastewater treatment.

THIRD UN EXPERT MEETING ON THE IMPACT OF COVID-19 PANDEMIC ON CONDUCTING POPULATION AND HOUSING CENSUSES AND ADDRESSING CENSUS DATA QUALITY CONCERNS MBONICUYE Herm s New York, 13/12/2022
PLAN 1. Introduction 2. Impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on overall quality of population and housing censuses 3. Methods and indicators that can be used for measuring the quality of census processes and data 4. Mitigation strategies during census processing to ensure representation of census data and build trust in the validity of census results 5. Conclusion
I.INTRODUCTION (1/2) Burundi is implementing his 4th General Census on Population Housing and the first Agriculture Census We are on the step of preparatory activities : Questionnaire content and designing Developing and testing applications for data collection (census and cartography) Developing technical documents and tools for census and cartography Census communication Procurement Etc.
I.INTRODUCTION (2/2) Characteristics of Burundi Population, Housing and Agriculture Census : Traditional approach : direct contact with respondents (enumerators) Field Data Collection Tool: for the first time, TIC: Computer Assisted Personal interviews (CAPI) is planed to be used We will collect agriculture data in Population and Housing Census Modular approach: Core module (during Population and Housing) and supplementary modules after Those two integrated operations have : Same institutional framework: Burundi Central Census Office Same budget.
II. IMPACT OF THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC ON OVERALL QUALITY OF POPULATION AND HOUSING CENSUSES (1/2) This generally concerns developping countries, Burundi in particular which has : Uncomplete administrative data set: civil registration and vital statistics No population register Traditional approach: face to face interviews, direct collection from respondents using enumerators because it s impossible to use other methodology: Online questionnaire Census by the postal service Based register Combined methodologies.
II. IMMPACT OF THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC ON OVERALL QUALITY OF POPULATION AND HOUSING CENSUSES (2/2) March 2020, WHO s declaration of COVID-19 as a global pandemic Countries undertook public health measures to mitigate the COVID-19 pandemic: such as restriction on mobility Those measures have many impacts on the implementation of 2020 round population and housing censuses: planning and conduct of census Postpone or cancel censuses or some preparatory activities such as: mapping/listing, pilot census, training of field staff, study visits, development of computer applications for data collection, etc. Extend the duration of enumeration of the duration: consequence: high risk data quality of census because requirements of universality and simultaneity is not respected No ensurance to cover all the population during the Covid pandemic - For the countries which need to be assisted by international experts in conducting censuses, cartography, CAPI have to postpone/cancel the experts missions - Financing censuses is relegated to the background , lack of funding for conducting census
III. METHODS AND INDICATORS THAN CAN BE USED FOR MEASURING THE QUALITY OF CENSUS PROCESSES AND DATA (1/4) For all developing countries, census data is the only source of reliable, up-to- date and disaggreagated data at the finest level This means that census data is the only informed decision-making tool for governments and his partners (local and international) So, measures to ensure the quality of census data must be taken during the Population and Housing census implementation
2 METHODS THAT CAN BE USED FOR MEASURING THE QUALITY OF CENSUS PROCESSES AND DATA (2/4) Close monitoring : Web application: census dashboard which shows store control information at each level and indicators Six (6) control Levels : Coordinator: national level Census control Levels Region: monitors Province: supervisors/monitors Control area: 9 district chiefs District area: 3 enumerators Enumeration area : Enumerators
METHODS THAT CAN BE USED FOR MEASURING THE QUALITY OF CENSUS PROCESSES AND DATA (3/4) Indicators (more than 100 hundred: cfr dashboard matrix indicators) o Covering issues related to the census operation : Progressive rate per enumerator compared to expected household Number of ordinary household enumerated/day/enumerator Etc. o Covering data quality Response rates Number of absent household Average household size Incomplete household questionnaire number Etc.
2. METHODS THAT CAN BE USED FOR MEASURING THE QUALITY OF CENSUS PROCESSES AND DATA (4/4) Evaluation of stages at the end of each step : Cartography/mapping pilot census Field enumeration of the population, Data process Post census survey Etc. Daily review meetings Establish a census control centre Census data quality analysis (after field enumeration)
IV. MITIGATION STRATEGIES DURING CENSUS PROCESSING TO ENSURE REPRESENTATION OF CENSUS DATA AND BUILT TRUST IN THE VALIDITY OF CENSUS RESULTS (1/2) Our mitigation strat gies : o Chose in advance data system: data application developped in CSPro and define data transfer and security system o Plan early many training staff programmes: capacity building in data processing : CAPI, CSPro, spss, etc. o Acquiring, installing and testing hardware and software before o Traning staff acquiring new skills o Take all the measures not to exceed our census schulder the : Field enumeration period: 21 days Data processing duration reduced : Analysis duration and census data publication : 9 months after end of field enumeration
IV. MITIGATION STRATEGIES DURING CENSUS PROCESSING TO ENSURE REPRESENTATION OF CENSUS DATA AND BUILT TRUST IN THE VALIDITY OF CENSUS RESULTS (2/2) o Do extensive testing data collection applications (for census and cartography) o Regular control plan implementation for data set completeness during the field enumeration period o Apply a rigorous data rectification/ imputation methods during data processing Etc .
V. CONCLUSION Burundi is implementing a Population, Housing and Agriculture Census round 2020 The COVID-19 Pandemic still continues impacting 2020 censuses series Burundi and its partners intend to reduce the impact of covid-19 on the planning and implementing as well as on the data quality of this operation This third UN Expert Group Meeting on the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on conducting Population and Housing Censuses has been the opportunity to learn more Many thanks to UNSD which organized this meeting
