A change of participants, the withdrawal of people who did not complete the training sessions and a delay in the distribution of materials were crucial elements that led the IX National Census of Population and Housing to get out of control, much more so than the delay paying the per diems. "The problem with the per diems has not been money, because the money was donated by the IDB (the Inter-American Development Bank). The money is there. There has been an issue of much movement and the greatest delay has been in the biggest cities", Mildred Martinez, the director of the Census Department at the National Statistics Office (ONE), told Diario Libre.

ONE director Pablo Tactuk said that the US$6.2 million donated by the government of Taiwan and the US$2 million loan received from the IDB were disbursed, as well as the resources from the Dominican government.
