The scope of the partnership will cover UTS' involvement in the St. Maarten Census 2011 campaign, which will in essence prepare the general public for the execution of the Population and Housing Census set to take place from April 9 to April 17 2011. The Census will serve as a baseline for St. Maarten and provide recent data on the population structure and socio-economic characteristics of St. Maarten.
'We are pleased to be able to contribute to maximizing participation during the Census and hope that our resources and contributions will assist in reaching those persons who otherwise may not have been reached' says Lambert.

The statistical information resulting from the census is information that policy makers, businesses and also private individuals will use to determine decision-making.'

Having UTS's involvement in particular capitalizes on the reach and extent of the people communicated to, which maximizes on the number of people counted for census 2011.
