Background Information
The Ghana statistical service (GSS) has established an Enumerators’ Bureau to accredit and satisfy field data collection officers with the aim of improving the quality of survey and census information that are used for national development planning.
This is as contained in the daily graphic publication on 15th October 2019.
The institutionalization of a formal long term engagement with field officers will provide an opportunity to streamline capacity building interventions, build trust between enumerators and respondents and create an opportunity for career development.
This has become imperative because, increasingly, both public and private sector institutions rely on data for investment and resolving challenges that confront the nation.
The GSS, therefore, invites interested persons who are goal-oriented, results-driven and posses leadership qualities to enroll on the Enumerators’ Bureau.
