Office space in the capital (where most National Statistical Offices are located)  + Decentralized structure allows for more people to gain experience in the census - Lack of skilled staff to manage the regional offices - Maintaining a consistent data quality control - The quality of the telephone lines in the country may not be of adequate standard for transmitting data
