Nevertheless, the process to undertake the assessment of the human resources and management of INSTAT has started. In addition, the scholarship programs on statistics is successfully allowing students to be trained domestically and abroad. Component 2: Activities of the Housing and Population Census are undergoing. After completion of the data collection in June 2018, all the questionnaires are now transported back to the data entry center in Tana. The current census activities include the preparation of the data entry and the production of the census preliminary results. The project is facing some logistics difficulties due to an insufficient number of shelves needed to adequately store the questionnaires. Solutions to overcome the issue are under implementation. UNFPA has provided resources for the drafting 1/9/2019 Page 1 of 5 The World Bank Implementation Status & Results Report Madagascar-Statistical Capacity Building (P160071) of the preliminary-results’ report during a workshop that took place in early December 2018. The final version of this report is expected to be released in early 2019. Progress has also made in the rebasing of the GDP from the year 1984 to 2007. The compilation process of the new GDP figures is now completed. The work has been carried out in coordination with the IMF and the series are expected to become official in early 2019.
