According to the INE official, the reception of the agents in the communities is being positive, a process that is counting on the support of traditional and religious authorities, as well as officials of administrative structures.
‘So far we’ve had no cases of our agents being rejected and we’re satisfied,’ he said.
The coordinator of the provincial technical group, Wilson Augusto, on his turn said the supervision of the census work will continue, especially in areas that are difficult to access to secure the success of the process.
He reiterated that the census process in the province is running normally, without any constraints and that census agents in the province are already working in the municipal offices and the 21 communes that make up the r
