6. Lessons Learnt
Have learned that the CensusInfo is very useful for the dissemination of the census data as well as a very handy tool for policy decision-makers
Have learned that the IMIS and the Censusinfo can be integrated, since they use the Excel to input data

7. Way Forward
Hand on national and regional training should be held in order to promote the CensusInfo as well as the dissemination of the 2008 census indicators.
The IMIS and CensusInfo should be integrated, since the IMIS is used to calculate while the CensusInfo stores and retrieves
