Population and Housing Census 2023

This project consisted of the design and implementation of a system that allowed citizens to quickly, easily, and securely complete the form corresponding to the 2023 National Population and Housing Census of Uruguay.

The development was carried out on a microservices-based architecture with a simple web form, designed by multidisciplinary teams composed of multiple stakeholders linked to the National Institute of Statistics of Uruguay.

As a result of this system, more than 50% of households completed the form via the web, making Uruguay the Latin American country with the highest percentage in this regard.

According to UNFPA, "These data are critical for: planning national and subnational development, monitoring progress towards the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), the distribution of social welfare programs and infrastructure, election planning, and market analysis, among others."

The project involved multiple challenges such as: determination of household uniqueness, uncertainty regarding demand and its peaks to size infrastructure, accuracy of stored data, and security of the stored information.

This project is linked to SDG 17: Strengthen the means of implementation and revitalize the Global Partnership for Sustainable Development / Target 17.19. By 2030, leverage existing initiatives to develop indicators to measure progress on sustainable development and complement gross domestic product, and support statistical capacity building in developing countries / Indicator 17.19.2. Proportion of countries that a) have conducted at least one population and housing census in the last ten years; and b) have registered 100% of births and 80% of deaths.

Integrated Ibero-American Data System on South-South and Triangular Cooperation

This system aims to register cooperation initiatives within the framework of South-South Horizontal Cooperation and Triangular Cooperation. The system allows the registration of different types of cooperation, export of information, processing, and visualization through various graphical reports. It is projected that SIDICSS will help standardize criteria for case registration, become the reference system, and facilitate the import of data from national platforms into this regional platform. The tool replaces the questionnaire used for the past 7 years to gather input for the South-South Cooperation Report and represents a new platform that can be adopted by countries that do not yet have adequate registration systems or that will link to existing records in each country.

In August 2015, a workshop was held in Mexico City, attended by Ibero-American countries. This workshop aimed to train managers of Ibero-American cooperation in the use of the Integrated Data System in Ibero-America on South-South and Triangular Cooperation (SIDICSS).

"The Ibero-American Program for the Strengthening of South-South Cooperation originated from a mandate of the Action Program of the XVII Ibero-American Summit in Santiago, Chile, in 2007. Its approval took place during the XVIII Summit in San Salvador, in November 2008. It was launched in the first quarter of 2010. The Program includes 20 member countries, and its highest governance body is the Intergovernmental Technical Committee, composed of the Cooperation Officers of these 20 countries.

As a Summit Program, the Ibero-American General Secretariat ensures its proper development and supports its implementation."
