Africa’s 2030 census round is coming, and it’s a once-in-a-generation chance to get it right — for the first time, we have the geospatial tools to count everyone, not just the easy-to-reach.
We’ve just published a great webinar recap on how satellite data, AI, and open geospatial innovation could reshape how the continent conducts its next census cycle. We’re talking about:
- Reaching remote, mobile, and hard-to-count populations
- Using population grids & projections to plan better
- Making census data more granular, timely, and actionable for local decision-makers
If you work in demography, data, development, or just care about how we measure who’s on the continent — this is a 2-minute read that’ll reframe how you think about the 2030 round.
