Enumerator, a person employed by the National Bureau of Statistics (NBS) and trained to carry out the pilot census, will make home visits to households that have been selected to participate in the pilot census during the period 28 August - 10 October 2023. The enumerator will fix the answers of the respondents on the electronic device - tablet.

In case no one is present at home, the enumerator will leave anotice to set a date and time when they can return. Selectively, at some households, census staff will make an additional visit to assess the quality of the census as part of the post-enumerator survey (the purpose of which is to assess the accuracy of the pilot census by measuring coverage and content errors).

How do we recognise the NBS enumerator?

Enumerators (and other temporary census staff) will be authorized by corresponding badges, issued by the National Bureau of Statistics, with which they will identify themselves when coming to households or interacting with the population in the selected pilot census districts. Also, in order to be distinguished, enumerators will wear PHC identity badges, including: caps and/or T-shirts, bags and tablets with the pilot census logo.

In order to verify the identity of the census staff employed by the NBS or to ask any other question concerning the PHC, the population may contact the dedicated green line (free calls) of the census 0800 800 24 or write to the email rpl2024@statistica.gov.md.
