QUEZON CITY, 27 Jan. (PIA) - - The Department of Social Welfare & Development needs some 47,644 field workers for the implementation of its Second Listahanan nationwide assessment.
The field workers needed will comprise of 1,277 area coordinators, 6,383 area supervisors, 31,908 enumerators, 4,038 encoders and 4,038 verifiers, who will be tasked to collect information from 15.3 million households in 1,490 municipalities and 144 cities nationwide.
The area coordinators will supervise and train area supervisors who are tasked to lead a team of enumerators.
The enumerators will conduct family interviews using the Family Assessment Form (FAF) that contains variables pertinent in determining a household’s welfare level.
Encoders will input the data collected by the enumerators to the Listahanan database, while verifiers will check if the data entered are consistent and accurate.
Applicants will undergo a series of examinations and interviews to ensure that the most qualified individuals will be hired. Once hired, they will be given intensive training on their specific roles in the assessment. They will also be deployed in areas where they are not from to ensure objectivity in conducting the assessment.
“The qualifications for these jobs are tight. This is because we want to work with competent, dedicated and honest individuals who can assure us that the data they’ll collect will be of the highest quality, complete, and accurate,” DSWD Secretary Corazon Juliano-Soliman emphasized.
Applications may be submitted via e-mail to nhtspr.npmo@dswd.gov.ph or delivered personally to the nearest DSWD Regional Office or at the Social Welfare and Development Team office in the province. Interested individuals are encouraged to check the DSWD Regional Office websites for details.
In 2009, the DSWD conducted the first nationwide assessment that resulted in the identification and inclusion of 5.2 million poor households in the Listahanan out of the 10.9 million assessed.
The Listahanan is an information management system that makes available to national government agencies, local government units, and other social protection stakeholders a comprehensive list of poor families in need of assistance.
DSWD is currently implementing the following programs to alleviate poverty among Filipinos: Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Program, Kapit-Bisig Laban sa Kahirapan Comprehensive and Integrated Delivery of Social Services-National Community-Driven Development Program (KALAHI CIDSS-NCDDP), Conditional Cash Transfer and Modified Conditional Cash Transfer.
