CSA has accomplished a lot in making available a relatively organized and reliable data in the country. Specifically when we see the accomplishments of CSA over time, it shows a change of direction from use of administrative records to compile data in external trade, retail trade, and other modern sector activities as well as undertaking ad-hoc surveys and specific area censuses to broad based scientific sample survey and censuses. Particularly, the 1980’s and 1990’s signify an important period in the development of statistical work in Ethiopia . Under the umbrella of National Integrated Household Survey Program (NIHSP), a number of rural and urban household surveys were conducted producing essential information for economic and social management. During this period, three major censuses were also undertaken, namely the 1984 Population and Housing Census, the 1994 Population and Housing Census and the first ever Ethiopian Agricultural Sample Enumeration undertaken in 2002. The very peculiar characteristic of this agricultural sample enumeration was the ability to produce agricultural information for the nomadic areas for the first time. Among the new batches of surveys introduced in recent years include Informal Sector Survey, Distributive Trade and Service Survey, Welfare Monitoring Survey, Continuous Labor Force Survey etc.
