The First Population Census

• The first Population Census was done by the
  British, in 1955/1956 and completed in a time
  spam of one year and a half. It had made
  remarkable use of traditional administration
  (chiefs of the tribes). The total population was
  10.1 millions and adjusted to 10.3 millions and
  was satisfactory to all types of people.

The Second population census

• The Second population census was done in 1973 and
  was delayed for five years because of the war in
  the south (The Addis Ababa peace Agreement was in
  1972).The Total population in 1973 was 14.8
  millions. The first result was only 12.3 millions
  which is very much less than expected. It was
  unfortunate that the enumeration failed at the
  beginning to cover the camps in some Gezira
  areas and to cover comprehensively the Nomads.
  Adjustment had been made after post-enumeration.

8
The Third Population census

• The third Population Census was conducted in 1983
  . The total population was 20.6 millions which
  was also adjusted to 19.1 millions. A notice was
  raised about accuracy in the South due to weak
  logistics . Some enumerators who found it
  difficult to walk for long distances had used the
  chiefs of the tribes to fill the forms on behalf
  of the households.

9
Fourth population census

• The fourth Population Census was done in 1993 and
  had come up with a total Population of 24.9 and
  adjusted to 25.9 million . This count did not
  include the rural areas in the South because of
  war and no comprehensive coverage of the nomads
  had taken place due to lack of logistics . In the
  4th Population Census the proportion of the
  nomads was only 3 while it was 11 in the
  previous census. Over count was noticed in some
  areas by inhabitants in order to increase their
  sugar ration.

10
Comparison

• The 1956 Population Census was the most accurate
  census in Sudan compared with the others . Now
  this Population census has become the basis for
  all subsequent censuses.
