RECRUITMENT FOR CENSUS IN PAPUA NEW GUINEA
Explanatory Note on the Events Calendars:
The overall objective of the African and Asian calendars is to help harmonise the efforts of technical and financial partners supporting statistics by providing information on relevant meetings. The intention is to optimise the preparation and organisation of meetings as well as to avoid possible duplication of efforts and bunching-up of meetings. The calendar could enable national statistical directors to better anticipate their travel and thereby make the most efficient use of their time. The technical and financial partners could also anticipate their participation in a meeting and enjoy a greater visibility of their upcoming interventions. More than just a calendar, it is a tool for co-ordination of stakeholders in statistical development.
This calendar will focus on not only regional and subregional events but also international events in which statistical development plays a major role. The inclusion of national events could be envisioned in future updates of the calendar.
Your remarks, comments, and notes are of course welcome!

• The calendar is sorted by month. It is updated at the end of every week with information that technical and financial partners regularly provide to us.
• The “Date” field indicates the start and end dates of the event. When an event is scheduled but the date is not yet fixed, the event is indicated at the beginning of the month (or quarter) with the annotation To Be Defined (TBD).
• The “Event” field contains the official title of the event. This text is clickable if a website for the event is available.
• The “Organiser” field indicates the name of the event organiser. A link will bring the user to that organiser’s site.
• The “Geographical coverage” field indicates the geographical reach of the event; that is, what level of country grouping is concerned — subregional (e.g., ECOWAS or ASEAN countries); regional (e.g., all African or all Asian countries); or international (e.g., an international meeting in which statistical development is explicitly mentioned).

Four technical advisers are being recruited to assist the Papua New Guinea National Statistical Office with the delivery of their 2010 Census.
The National Statistical Office (NSO) is the mandated agency of government responsible for conducting the National Population and Housing Censuses in Papua New Guinea (PNG). The Partnership for Development Schedule 5 on Statistics commits Australia and PNG to the target of a PNG National Census to be conducted in 2010, completed by 2011 and reported by 2012.
The NSO has begun its preparation for the Census. However, there is a realisation by NSO, the Government, Donor Agencies, Development Partners, and customers that NSO cannot fulfil its mandate with its current resources. The Papua New Guinea 2010 Census Scoping Mission, carried out in June/July 2009, identified the need for experienced census advisers to overcome barriers of a statistical and operational nature.
Assistance is being sought to enable and assist the NSO with the planning and implementation of the National Census to provide the critically important data required for policy, planning and monitoring purposes.
The following job specifications outline the consultations available:
Deadline for applications is 22 February 2010. Interested candidates are encouraged to query Lucy Dwyer (lucy_dwyer@coffey.com) or Sylvia Bitter (Sylvia_bitter@coffey.com).
