The Fifth Population and Housing Census of Sudan was conducted in 2008 under the terms of the Comprehensive Peace Agreement (CPA) of 2005. The Comprehensive Peace Agreement had required that a population census was to be undertaken prior to the 2009 general elections and the 2011 referendum on Southern Sudan's independence. The CPA identified the Central Bureau of Statistics (CBS) in the North and the Southern Sudan Commission for Census, Statistics and Evaluation (SSCCSE) in Southern Sudan, "as the two Government agencies to implement the census programme." 5th Sudan Population and Housing Census Experience In North SUDAN- 2008 Dr. Yasin Elhag Abdin Director General, Central Bureau of Statistics The Fifth Population and Housing Census of Sudan was conducted from 22 April to 6 May, 2008.

Background
Population figures for the Anglo-Egyptian Sudan varied widely during the early years of colonial rule. In 1903, the population of was variously estimated to be 3.5 million or 1.8 million. The first National Census of Sudan, "the first—and last—plausible census of the whole of Sudan," was carried out in 1955-56. The Census of 1955/56 differed from a "census" as one is usually defined in two ways, each required by the limited resources available for the census. The enumeration was carried out over a period of 14 months, and rural populations, which accounted for roughly 90 per-cent of the population, were sampled rather than completely enumerated. Urban populations and people housed in institutions, such as prisons, were directly counted. The 1955/56 census had 94 enumeration areas and began in June 1955.

The Sudanese Census of 1973 was the first complete enumeration of the country. It was not reported until 1980, and, owing to the low accuracy of its data, the results were subsequently withdrawn.

1955/6, 1973, 1983, 1993 The Comprehensive Peace Agreement of 2005 determined that political representation of Sudan's north and south at the National level and the sharing of oil revenue would be adjusted in Sudan according to the results of the Fifth Population and Housing Census of Sudan. The CPA also stipulated that the census would be held no later than July, 2007.

e GoSS Council of Ministers decided on 13 April – three days before the planned census start – to postpone the census until the end of 2008. GoSS requested an inclusive census covering the whole of Sudan, including insecurity-ridden areas such as Darfur and the border area between North and South. In addition, GoSS argued that a high number of Southerners had not yet been able to travel to the South for the census, that the North–South border had not yet been demarcated, and that questions about ethnicity and religion were not considered in the census questionnaires. After meetings in Khartoum between the President of Sudan Omar al-Bashir and Salva Kiir Mayardit, the census was finally scheduled for the period between 22 April and 6 May 2008. As a result, it started only one week later than planned but with even more tension and confusion due to GoSS’s last-minute attempt to delay it.

The CPA ushered in two systems of government in one country • GONU is the Federal government with members from North and South Sudan • GOSS is the government in charge of the semiautonomous Southern Sudan • GONU provided funding for the census for both North and South Sudan since it was considered a national project.
