The 2nd Launching of the Listahanan database of the Department of Social Welfare and Development region 6 will be held next month at Sarabia Manor Hotel and Convention Center, Iloilo City.
Listahanan is the data management system that identifies who and where the poor are.
This can be used by government agencies of the Philippines, non-governmental organizations (NGOs), and civil society organizations (CSOs) for the targeting of social protection programs and services and recipients.
The 2nd Listahanan launching will disclose the result of the 2015 assessment particularly in Western Visayas.
Among the data to be presented during the launch will be the magnitude of the poor living in the rural and urban areas, magnitude of the poor with electricity, by sector, and by occupation. Also quick facts and figures will also be shown.
In addition, in order to ensure that there is transparency in the use of such data for benefiting the targeted beneficiaries and avoiding situations wherein there will be “over-served” or “under-served” recipients, a Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) with DSWD is needed.
Still, the said 2015 Listahanan database launching will further update the partner NGAs, NGOs, CSOs, SUCs, LGUs, and Media more about Listahanan as well as other DSWD programs and services likewise promoting the agency’s upcoming activities or events. Dswd6/MerryJezzelBrendia
