Abstract: The 5th population census is one of the most important censuses in the history of Sudan. It is based on the comprehensive peace agreement. It provides hope for Sudanese people to build a new Sudan, with a fair share in power, resources, services and development. To achieve these goals a population census with high accuracy and a full coverage is a necessity. The aim of this paper is to record the efforts which have been under taken by the Central Bureau of Statistics and the Southern Sudan Commission for Statistics and Evaluation as well as the support that has been given by the Sudan Government of National Unity and the International community to make this required population census a reality.
