The 2022 census of Zambia was a detailed enumeration of the Zambian population that became the sixth national census in the country since independence. It began on August 18, 2022, and concluded by September 14, 2022.[1] It became Zambia's first-ever digitally conducted population census.[2]
The Zambia Statistics Agency is mandated to conduct the Census of Population and Housing (CPH) every 10 years as per Statistics Act No. 13 of 2018. The Census was supposed to be conducted in 2020 but was postponed to November 2021 due to funding challenges. In November 2021, the census failed to take place due to delays in procurement of materials needed for the census.[3] The 2022 census became the sixth conducted in independent Zambia; the first was conducted in 1969 and thereafter, 1980, 1990, 2000 and 2010.[4]
