Training of Listahanan 2015 Household Assessment field staff on going

The Department of Social Welfare and Development is currently conducting simultaneous training of Listahanan targeting system field staff to be deployed for the 2015 household assessment in the CALABARZON Region.

The said training which is being conducted in eight (8) batches is being held in separate venues in the provinces of Cavite, Rizal and Quezon for at least 3,000 field staff.

The field staff are being trained on the purpose of the Listahanan targeting system and on the administration of the Family Assessment Form (FAF). The said form will be used by the Enumerators in interviewing the households. The discussions also include the roles and functions of the Area Coordinators, Area Supervisors and the Enumerators. The trainings also include a mock interview of the field staff trainees with the residents of the respective provinces of training venues. The mock interview aims to develop the understanding of the field staff in filling-out form during their interviews.

Listahanan is a targeting system which identifies who and where the poor are nationwide. The said targeting system is spearheaded by the Department of Social Welfare and Development. The database of the poor targets the beneficiaries of the programs of the Department, which may also be shared with the National Government Agencies, Non-government Organizations, Local Government Units, Civil Society Organizations, the academe or other organizations with social protection programs upon entering into a Memorandum of Agreement with the Department.
