The Ghana Statistical Service (GSS)  has intensified its efforts to recruit qualified personnel for the upcoming  2020 population and housing census (PHC) in March 2020. The registration into the various positions such as enumerators, IT personnel, statisticians among others begun last year October 2019.

The Ghana Statistical Service (GSS) invites application from interested persons to enroll for the position of Field Data Collection Officers for the 2020 population and housing census (PHC).

As at now there are two ways by which you can register. The first and easiest procedure is to register directly as an enumerator. This process does not require a login. The second procedure is to provide your email at the statsghana.gov.gh/phc2020 website, after which a pin code and serial number would be sent to you to use for the registration.

The good thing about this procedure is that you do not have to stick to becoming a census enumerator, you could choose an area that fits your expertise and educational qualifications. Such as becoming an IT personnel if you have a tertiary information technology background or a  statistician if you have a tertiary mathematics background.

The issue with this procedure however is that for some time now applicants do not receive the pin and serial number to be used to login for the registration. We have covered how to go about the second application procedure in detail in the article below.
