Instituto Nacional de Estatística (Angola)
The Instituto Nacional de Estatística ( INE ) is the Angolan statistical institute . It is located on Rua Ho-Chi-Min in the capital Luanda , and Camilo Ceita has been Director General of the INE since 2011.
The INE is responsible, among other things, for conducting the 2014 census . This is the first census in Angola since 1970; all subsequent data on population figures are based on estimates and projections. After the Portuguese colonial war (1961–1975), Angola's independence in 1975 and the subsequent Angolan civil war (1975–2002) with its numerous victims and expulsions, the 2014 census will provide reliable data for more precise planning for the first time.
history
After the Portuguese colonial power carried out a census in Angola for the first time in 1770 , the population figures in Angola were repeatedly recorded on behalf of the government. From 1899 a law regulated the regular census every ten years in the colonies, later annually. This "general population survey" ( Recenseamento Geral da População ) was carried out until 1938. In 1939 the "Technical Department for Statistics" ( Repartição Técnica de Estatística Geral ) was created, which had to carry out comprehensive censuses for the first time on August 1, 1940 and then every ten years. It determined a population of 3,738,010 in Angola in 1940 (1950: 4,145,266, 1960: 4,840,719, 1970: 5,620,001)
The department of the Portuguese colonial administration, which had meanwhile been renamed the “Department for Census and Statistics” ( Repartição de Censos e Estatística ), became the “Directorate for Trade and Statistics Services ” ( Direcção dos Serviços do Comercio e Estatística ) in 1964 and shortly afterwards the “General Provincial Directorate for commercial and statistical services ”( Direcção Provincial dos Serviços de Economia Estatística Geral ). This was in connection with the rejection of the official designation of the Portuguese overseas possessions as overseas provinces by the UN Security Council in 1963. The Salazar dictatorship wanted to use the term to express the historical relations between Portugal and its colonies, which it regarded as part of the mother country, and which they tried to keep away from the wave of decolonization in the rest of Africa.
The Portuguese Estado Novo regime carried out various administrative reforms in this context, some of which were of a cosmetic nature in view of the increasing international pressure. However, they were also necessary due to Angola's strong economic growth in the 1960s to early 1970s. During the period, the country rose to become a major oil exporter and the largest coffee producer in Africa, and a wave of immigration, especially from Portugal, began. This also made a further rebuilding and expansion of the statistical authority necessary. In 1967 the "Directorate for Statistics Services " ( Direcção dos Serviços de Estatística ) was created.
After independence in 1975 and the consolidation of the MPLA government, today's “National Statistics Institute ” ( Instituto Nacional de Estatística ) was created in 1983 .
The INE carried out its first census between 1983 and 1987, but it did not meet the standards of a comprehensive census and, due to the civil war, was not able to reliably include the entire national territory. Thus, in May 2014, the first comprehensive census of independent Angola will be carried out. It is organized and made public as Censo 2014 by the INE, u. a. with its own website.
