The formulation of the African programme for the 1970 censuses of population and housing

Abstract

The attention of the Conference is drawn to the importance of the suggestions made by the Working Group, The Conference, as the body to which the Working Group reports, may wish to express its views on the general findings of the Group as summarized in the Report9 and may wish also to consider the points raised in paras, 8 and 9 above, especially the latter. It is a matter of urgency that the Working Group at its second session have the benefit of the comments of the Conference and the timing is such that this is the only available occasion. These comments could then be incorporated in the text of the draft African Programme for the I970 censuses and would facilitate the eventual adoption by the Fifth Conference of the final version, of the Programme.
