The April 1973 Population Census in the Republic of the Gambia was the sixth to be taken since the beginning of the century und the first one since independence. A pilot census was taken in April 1972 to test the suitability of the proposed census questionnaire and the quality of data that might be expected. Because of the pilot census, the number of questions on the final questionnaire was reduced from 26 to 16. Sixty interviews in the pilot census were recorded on tape to show how the questions were being asked and answered. One of the most important aspects of the census of the Gambia was the publicity campaign, which was aimed at allaying the fears of 'the people and pointed out the value of the census for development planning.
