An in-depth analysis of the spatial distribution of the target groups is
required for the allocation of resources to meet the needs of specific target
groups such school-going children, the poor and the elderly. Multivariate
analyses are needed to determine the covariates and the confounding factors.
There is a need for updating spatial demographic and social data, and the
local leaders should be involved in the data collection, analysis and utilization.
The 2020 population census provides an opportunity for updating the relevant
spatial information for policy making and planning.
