With the on-demand application (ODA) part of the 2nd round of household assessment coming to a close, DSWD FO2 is now getting ready for the next step that needs to be completed, the encoding of the accomplished Family Assessment Forms (FAFs).
“Na-prepare na natin lahat ng kailangan natin para sa encoding ng mga FAFs, handing-handa na tayo para simulan ito at matapos ng mahusay at mabilis,” Mr. Matthias James Ryan Tangonan, Listahanan Regional Information Technology Officer, said about the readiness of the regional office to start the encoding of the said forms.
The encoding portion of the validation phase will be followed by the validation of the encoded Family Assessment Forms to check for its veracity and completeness, before sending the data to the Central Office for it to be run to the Proxy Means Test (PMT) to determine if the households assessed belong to the list of poor or non-poor.
The National and Regional Profile of the Poor along with the Final List of Poor Households will be released after the above-mentioned processes. The above-mentioned list will be the new basis of data partners and stakeholders to choose the beneficiaries of their social protection programs and services as well as a source of different organizations, institutions and academes for their studies or for any purpose it may serve them.
Listahanan’s data partners and stakeholders enter into a Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) with the DSWD before they can use the list, allowing the department to gather information as to how the list was used and for future reference as well. ### Written by Chester Carlo M.
