Our colleagues at the Embassy of Denmark, Ghana, were attending the event. , An inventory of administrative data for the production of statistics is based on a digitalisation of administrative procedures. This requires political decisions to modernise the administration of sectors like population registration and give the statistical agency unlimited access to data. And positively, in the key notes of the Ghana Speaker of Parliaments, Alban Kingsford Sumana Bagbin, announced that “if we have data, let us go with data”.  , Denmark has produced population statistics based on administrative data since the 1970’s and therefore our experts at Statistics Denmark are pleased to assist Ghana, through the Strategic Sector Collaboration, in their development of statistics based on administrative data. The process of digitalising the registration of birth and death and establishing the Ghana Card is essential and a good place to start. A bold vision would be for the upcoming 2021 Population and Housing Census to be replaced by administrative data for 2031 Census.,
