The Government of Ethiopia is set to start the 4th national census next April, said the Central Statistics Agency (CSA) of Ethiopia. Starting mid-April, the national census is planned to be completed within 15 days. Currently some estimate the total population of Ethiopia around 104 million, though the CSA’s estimate shows less than that 100 million. The national census has to take place every ten year, according to the constitution. Recently the Ethiopian parliament has established a national census commission led by the Deputy Prime Minister Demeke Mekonnen.
