In response to the recommendations of the second webinar, ESCWA organized a session chaired by Mr. Ismail Lubbad, in which Dr. Amor Laaribi, a consultant in geospatial information, gave an overview of the United Nations’ recommendations for the 2020 round of censuses that recognizes the availability of a wide range of geospatial technological tools for use in census mapping. He presented the benefits of the use of geospatial information technologies at all the stages of the Census. Dr. Laaribi concluded with a set of recommendations that include an assessment of the infrastructure of the geospatial information system for census purposes, which would facilitate the adoption of such technology during censuses.
