Attended by community leaders and representatives of government agencies and the civil society, the Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics (IBGE) gave, last Friday (19) afternoon, the workshop “A territory of information: potentialities of data in the 2022 Census.” The A activity is part of the dissemination activities about the 2022 Population Census - Quilombolas: Characteristics of Housing units and Literacy, held at Escola Municipal de Tempo Integral Negro Cosme, in the Liberdade neighborhood in São Luís (MA).

The 53 attendees learned about technical and operational aspects of the 2022 Census, results and tools, which are essential to help local managers in decision making. The first part of the workshop was a presentation about the survey, with figures about the operation and potentialities of data. By presenting innovations in this edition, mainly innovations and technological apparatuses that contributed to the effectiveness of data management, the IBGE technician who is in charge for the codification of the 2022 Population Census, Rafael Kessler Fernandez, remarked that “the data collection process was effected based on the comparison between data in Aneel and the enumerators’ data collection locations, thus allowing the verification of occurrences, in case any divergence is detected.”

When explaining the potential of data for local managers, Marta de Oliveira Antunes, who is in charge of the IBGE’s Technical Project on Traditional Peoples and Communities, highlighted that “the information presented allow public managers in the education field to have a profile closer to reality, so that their actions can more effectively fight illiteracy, for example.”

Data that reach the community

Besides the presence of public managers, the workshop was attended by residents of the Liberdade community, students and representatives of institutions and social projects. For the data analyst from Sebrae Maranhão, Isaías Rocha, the interest in knowing current data about the quilombolas is essential for the several types of activity the institution has developed in the state. “Currently, at the Strategy and Transformation Unit of Sebrae Maranhão, we are working in a project focused on quilombola communities. Using the 2022 Census data is important so that we will be able to carry activities out in due time and with a variety of information. Sidra, for example, is the API basis from which we extract data,” he said.

Interested of using IBGE in scientific research, the student of Public Statistics at the national School of Statistical Sciences, Francisco Tugna, took the opportunity to clear doubts with the workshop mediators and said that “the tools made available by the IBGE make it possible to access data more easily, binging the population closer to the surveys that show not only traditional peoples but Brazil as well”.

The workshop was also strategic for servants in the municipality of São Luís who work in the coordination and management of the capital’s Urban Legislation. “Today, at municipal level, we do not have technical conditions of conducting a survey as great as the IBGE’s. So, the Institute is our database and, certainly, learning how to handle all these platforms and websites will help us optimize our work,” said Thalyta Fernandes, survey superintendent at Instituto da Cidade, Pesquisa e Planejamento Urbano e Rural (Institute of the City, Research and Urban and Rural Planning) (Incid) of São Luís.

Sharing the same interest for the workshop, the representative of the Municipal Secretariat for Racial Equality in Cantanhede (a municipality located 170 far from the capital São Luís), Rosângela Ludovico, was enthusiastic about the workshop to learn about the data and tools provided by the IBGE. “I come from a city with more than 24 thousand residents and with a lot of quilombos. Being able to come here and participate in this event is essential for the public policies and the creation of public notices that will favor our municipality.”
