The Department of Social Welfare and Development – National Capital Region launched an Audio Visual Presentation (AVP) showcasing the processes and required documents on how to acquire access to Listahanan 2 Database on January 22, 2018 at the DSWD NCR Lobby.
Regional Director Vincent Andrew T. Leyson pronounced that the DSWD NCR through the National Household Targeting Unit (NHTU) will continue to tap partners who will utilize the data in order to build coordinated and collaborative approach in helping the poor households in the National Capital Region.
“Malaki ang maitutulong ng Listahanan 2 Data upang makasiguro na ang higit na nangangailangan
ang magkaroon ng pagkakataon na maka-access sa mga social protection programs ng ating mga partner – National Government Agencies, Local Government Units, Civil Society Organizations, Non Government Organizations at iba pa kaya humihingi kami ng suporta sa lahat upang tulungang palaganapin ang informational video na ito na naglalaman ng mga proseso at mga kailangang dokumento upang magkaroon ng access sa datos,” Leyson continued.
Listahanan data is being utilized by the major social protection programs of the Department which include Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Program and Unconditional Cash Transfer as well as Philhealth as one of our partners.
“The tedious process of information collection makes Listahanan data accurate,” said Ms. Manuela M. Loza, OIC-Assistant Regional Director and Regional Deputy Program Manager of Listahanan.
A total of 1,208,807 households were assessed as of December 2016 in the 17 LGUs in NCR. Tablet application which contains proxy variables describing different aspects of living condition such as socio-economic, health, education and among others were used to gather information from the households.
The AVP will be played continuously and shared to partners as part of the advocacy campaign to encourage external stakeholders to avail the use of the data complying with the provisions of Data Privacy Act of 2012 and DSWD Memorandum Circular No. 12 Series of 2012 or the Listahanan Data Sharing. At the same time, the video intends to inform the internal stakeholders particularly the staff of the Field Office for them to help in the information dissemination.
Listahanan is an information management system that identifies who and where the poor are in the country. ###
