Abstract
Description of a joint pilot test in six Latin American countries demonstrates the coordination and cooperation possible in testing questions and producing and disseminating data. Focusing on three topic areas, these countries were able to harmonize their population census planning and work through the various problems that were encountered. The harmonization strategy stimulated horizontal cooperation and solidarity among participants and an interchange of knowledge and experiences that had not been foreseen in the original design.
