Abstract

The 2019 Kenya Population and Housing Census (KPHC) was the eighth to be conducted in Kenya since 1948 and was conducted from the night of 24th/25th to 31st August 2019. It was implemented under the provisions of the Constitution of Kenya, 2010 and the Statistics (Amendment) Act, 2019. It also followed the United Nations Principles and Recommendations for conducting the 2020 round of censuses, including adoption of technology. Indeed, the country leveraged on technology to capture data during cartographic mapping, enumeration and data transmission, making the 2019 KPHC the first paperless census to be conducted in Kenya.
