Improving human resources, and mastering science and technology are one of the pillars of development to realize the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and Indonesia's Vision 2045. The main prerequisite that must be met in developing human resources is the availability of data and information on the number, structure, composition population distribution and characteristics accurately, completely and up to date. The successful implementation of the 2020 Population Census (SP) is an important milestone in providing data and information towards one Indonesian population data. This paper aims to provide input and considerations so that the implementation of SP2020 goes well, smoothly and according to plan; and produce quality population data and information. The implementation of SP2020 needs to be seen as part of knowledge management on population to strengthen basic population data; develop knowledge about the number, composition and distribution between regions and between people; understand changes in population characteristics and behavior as a result of social, cultural, economic, political changes and advances in information technology; and encourage the formulation of accurate evidence-based and knowledge-based policies. The pentahelix model emphasizes that the synergy between BPS and stakeholders is very important starting from the preparation, dissemination, implementation of data collection, processing, and utilization of SP2020 data. In ensuring the successful implementation of SP2020, BPS must continue to strengthen performance management by developing effective communication and consultation between Central BPS, Provincial BPS and Regency/City BPS. On the other hand, BPS must also continue to build solid communication, cooperation and partnerships with ministries/agencies, provincial governments, district/city governments, village governments, universities and research institutions, business actors and the media.
