UNFPA is the main UN agency supporting the planning and implementation of population censuses. The Fund also supports demographic and household surveys, as well as the use of civil registration data, all necessary tools to allow countries to plan for the current and future needs of their citizens. Accurate and timely, disaggregated data on the number of people, their sex, age, location, knowledge, attitudes, behaviours and unmet needs can improve planning and policymaking significantly. There is a clear need to strengthen data information systems and qualitative research to support the post-2015 development agenda. Moreover, information that is collected should be disseminated in a way that is easily accessible and usable by planners and policymakers. While progress has been made in meeting most of MDGs, the goal of reducing maternal mortality and morbidity has fallen woefully behind.
