The National Population Commission (NPC) has issued a warning to census workers, asking them to prepare for rejection and conflict during the upcoming 2023 population and housing census. This revelation came to light after the commission released its training curriculum for the census workers.
According to the NPC’s curriculum, conflict is a typical part of any assembly of people, particularly those from diverse backgrounds and disciplines. As such, the census workers were advised to anticipate conflict between themselves and the enumerators, or even among the enumerators themselves. The NPC urged the workers not to shy away from conflict, but rather learn how to manage and resolve conflicts in a healthy way.
In the curriculum, the NPC outlined steps to manage conflicts, including identifying the source of the problem, the stakeholders involved, and the issue at hand. Workers were also advised to listen to every participant and value each argument without prejudice, and to take reasonable time to weigh all options before making a decision.

The NPC further stressed the importance of being prepared for rejection during the census. The commission stated that it was expecting some resistance from the public due to various reasons, including mistrust of government officials and concerns about data privacy.
As such, census workers were advised to approach each situation with empathy and patience and to communicate effectively with the public. They were also urged to identify other challenges or barriers that may hinder the success of the census.
The NPC’s warning to census workers to brace for rejection and conflict during the 2023 population and housing census highlights the importance of effective conflict management and communication skills. With these skills, the census workers will be able to carry out their duties effectively, ensuring a successful and credible census.
