This paper reviews the recent development in the collection of demographic data for African countries and outlines their limitations. Some alternative, unconventional approaches to data collection such as the experiments involving household sample surveys, panel longitudinal studies, population laboratories, sample registration system and record matching studies are suggested. The countries of the region may choose the methods suitable to them on the basis of considerations of financial resources, availability of skilled manpower etc
