FREETOWN (Reuters) - The World Bank has withdrawn its support for a population and housing census in Sierra Leone just days before it was due to begin, according to a letter from the Bank addressed to Sierra Leone's finance minister.
President Julius Maada Bio last week announced that the national statistics office would launch a two-week mid-term census on Dec. 10 to correct "anomalies" from the last count in 2015, which the previous administration used to justify creating additional districts in its strongholds.
