          <![CDATA[(a) DATA PROCESSING AND ARCHIVING
For data entry, INSTAT used scanning technology with READSOFT software. The output of the scanning process was a text file that was imported to SAS for further processing. The programmes implemented a selective editing algorithm to identify significant errors in the data on area of land and the variables on livestock, separately by census district.

(b) CENSUS DATA QUALITY
A Post-enumeration Survey (PES) was conducted by INSTAT in December 2012 (one month after the census enumeration) to evaluate the census undercount. The PES was based on an aerial sample, in which the selected units were the enumeration areas (EAs). According to the PES, the undercoverage rate is 7.6 percent. In 2016, a calibration survey was carried out and calibration was implemented.]]>

          Optical scanning was used for census data capture. The census results were disseminated online. The final results of the CAH 2012 were published in 2017 and are available online. Thirty-three tables were prepared at the national level. At the prefecture and district level, 26 tables were chosen. Approximately 19 tables were prepared for each commune, which are modified versions of the tables at the national level.
