Sharjah :

The Department of Statistics and Community Development (DSCD) is educating visitors
at the 41st Sharjah International Book Fair (SIBF) on the Sharjah Census 2022 project
that was launched in September under the theme ‘You Count’ to reinforce the
importance of the project and encourage all citizens and residents to contribute to its
success.

DSCD is participating at the annual book fair that attracts a large turnout of visitors
across multiple nationalities, as it offers a vibrant social platform to educate residents on
the importance of the project in boosting the sustainable development process. The
department is also motivating the public to cooperate with social workers and shedding
light on the project’s role in the improvement of people’s wellbeing and quality of life as
well as the enhancement of government services.

DSCD also launched three editions of the Sharjah Statistical Book and an Activity Guide
for kids at the book fair which runs until November 13 at Expo Centre Sharjah.

The three editions feature data collected in collaboration with Sharjah’s government and
semi-government entities. Collated in a methodological and scientific way, the three
books are Sharjah’s official statistical and data resource and provide a comprehensive
overview of social development policies and plans that keep up with economic shifts,
and contribute to economic stability and social balance under the leadership of His
Highness Sheikh Dr. Sultan bin Mohammed AlQasimi, Member of the Supreme Council
and Ruler of Sharjah.

The three books comprise data on three sectors; Economic Statistics, Population and
Social Statistics, and Environment and Infrastructure Statistics.

The Activity Guide features a thrilling awareness story that educates children on the
Sharjah Census 2022 in a simple and attractive way. Enriched with entertainment
games, the guide educates children on the importance of numbers and data that field
workers are in the process of collecting from residents.
