According to the statement issued on Thursday by the government chief spokesperson, Gerson Msigwa President Samia Suluhu Hassan agreed that census day should be a holiday.

PHC is a national exercise conducted across Tanzania every 10 years. The last census was held in 2012. The 2022 census will be the sixth in the series beginning after the “birth” of the United Republic of Tanzania in 1964. Other censuses took place in 1967, 1978, 1988, 2002 and 2012.

 

The 2012 population census’ results indicated there were 43,625,354 million in Tanzania mainland, and 1,303,569 in Tanzania Zanzibar. The data, and projections, thereafter are vital in helping the nation execute its national plans in diverse sectors like health and education.
