With the aim to determine the social protection programs and services received by the Listahanan poor families, the DSWD FO2’s National Household Targeting System for Poverty Reduction (NHTS-PR) or Listahanan will administer a Consultation Workshop with the data-users on the first quarter of 2015 at Tuguegarao City, Cagayan.

Listahanan urges the data-users to submit their data utilization report for the year 2014. Data users from the Local Government Units (LGUs), National Government Agencies (NGAs), and Civil Society Organization (CSOs) are expected to attend in the said workshop.

“Their feedback report assures us that they are really helping the real poor.  Moreover, it is also one of our Strategic Goals of the Department that poor families identified by Listahanan should receive at least two or more services”, Dir. Remia T. Tapispisan of DSWD said.

The said undertaking is also an opportunity for the data users to share their best practices regarding the utilization of the Listahanan database as well as open up their difficulties in coming up with their feedback reports.

Dir. Tapispisan added that, “Listahanan is the database for all. We are continuously popularizing the project to all stakeholders so that they will be focusing their resources to right recipients.”

Listahanan is a reliable basis in selecting worthy beneficiaries for the programs and services of the LGUs, NGAs and CSOs. . ###By: AILYN P. AGLAUA, Admin. Assist. III-NHTSPR
