According to UN recommendations and the Statistical Law of Cambodia, the Royal Government of Cambodia is Committed to conducting a general population census every ten years using defacto with reference date of March 03 0:00 hour.

Up to Now, Cambodia have already conducted two General Population Censuses: (i) General Population Census of Cambodia 1998 and (ii) General Population Census of Cambodia 2008.

From the finding of the previous census data were successfully disseminated both through electronic products and printed reports and by way of dissemination seminars and workshops at national and provincial level.

The method for Data Dissemination of the General Population Census of Cambodia 2008 is similar the General Population Census of Cambodia1998 such as (i) Dissemination by print media, (ii) Electronics products, and (iii) Dissemination workshops.

The Final Census Result Report have provided to line-ministries, NGOs, IOs, and Other data users during releasing Final Census Result report chaired by Prime Minister of Kingdom of Cambodia at National level.

The Dissemination workshop have conducted at provincial level to provide census data to planner, administrators and researchers.

User-friendly interface to select tables, areas, and retrieve tables from CDROM. One simple toolbar provides access to all functions.

Select Table(s) Select Area(s)

Retrieve tables from CD Preferences Concepts and definitions User guide

Select table(s) by clicking on the checkboxes or by using a submenu.

Area levels are hierarchically displayed in a tree view that can be expanded down to the lowest level specified by the geographical area. Areas can be selected by using a submenu.

Retrieve table(s) for the selected area(s) from CD and place them in a viewer.

The table viewer is very versatile. It not only displays the selected tables but data users can also:

Save the tables in TXT format; Print the tables; Copy and paste tables into a word processor; Copy table cells into a spreadsheet allowing

to undertake further analysis.

Similar to TRS, the CPS application offers a user-friendly interface to select areas and to obtain detailed standardized profiles for all geographic entities (right down to the villages).

Select Area(s)

Obtain Profile(s) Graphs Preferences Concepts and definitions User guide

Select one or more areas. Areas are hierarchically displayed in a tree view that can be expanded down to the village level. Areas can be aggregated allowing users to create their own universe.

The profile for the selected area(s) are displayed in a viewer.

The CPS application also incorporates limited graphing capabilities for predefined topics.

Mapping and graphing databases also greatly improve the effectiveness of census dissemination as trends and patterns of the larger area, and distinct boundary and characteristics are more easily detected when displayed on maps.

The project has made available map layers for the Country, Provinces, Districts, Commune and, Villages. Statistical databases consisting of aggregated count, ratios and rates for all geographical levels has complemented these map layers.

The layers were in ESRI shape file and MapInfo table file formats. Data users are expected to acquire a copy of their preferred GIS software

Based on census micro-data in binary format and encrypted.

Allows access to each geographic entity (up to the village level). Users can create their own universe, for example Health Zones.

Frequencies, cross-tables, and area counts can be obtained by using simple menus.

Subpopulations can be defined by imposing query filters.

Queries can be displayed in table format, graphs and maps.

Public domain software: Redatam+SP

When a micro-dataset is opened, all variables for the entities (in a census normally Households and Persons) will be displayed.

Area levels are hierarchically displayed in a tree view that can be expanded down to the lowest level.

Users can create their own universe, for example Health Zones, by aggregating areas.

To obtain a frequency distribution for a particular variable simply drag and drop the item in the window.

Select the area for which the query is required.

Area selection down to the lowest level.

Users can aggregate area to create their own universe.

Frequency queries can be displayed in table format:

or with graphs:

The some figure of 2008 Population Census have posted in www.nis.gov.kh website.

The 2008 Population Census dynamic website have linked with the www.nis.gov.kh website.

The data users can produce table by themselves down to provincial level through online including graph and map.

CamInfo is the national adaptation of Dev Info software, a global initiative funded by the United Nations. 

 CamInfo is Cambodia's Socio-Economic and demographic Indicator Database, providing a one-stop user-friendly computer program for storage, retrieval, comparison and dissemination of a wide range of indicators from different sources, including national surveys, censuses and administrative systems.  

CamInfo also allows the user to retrieve and compare indicator data values across multiple time periods, geographic levels, and other sub-group dis-aggregations.  Data presentation is possible with tables, graphs and maps. 

According to experience from General Population Census of Cambodia in 1998, the method use for 2008 census for Census Data Dissemination is the same 1998 census. These method such as electronic products , printed report and online (website) but 1998 census didn’t has dynamic website.

Other modern method will be considered according to actual requirements and real situation in Cambodia for Data Census Dissemination in the future.
