DSWD orients personnel for Pantawid assessment

THE Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) 7 recently conducted an orientation for its Bohol personnel who will be the enumerators for the regionwide Social Welfare and Development Indicator (SWDI) assessment on the Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Program (4Ps) partner-beneficiaries.

The event was made possible through the Pantawid’s Regional Program Management Office and Convergence Office.

On the fourth week of September 2019, the orientation for Cebu, Negros Oriental, and Siquijor enumerators followed.

The SWDI is a tool used to assess the level of well-being of the DSWD’s 4Ps partner-beneficiaries, and it monitors their improvement from survival to subsistence to self-sufficiency.

A total of 157 enumerators were hired for Region 7 to conduct the house-to-house survey of the Pantawid Pamilya households using the SWDI.

The DSWD 7 will deploy 62 enumerators in Bohol; 56 in Cebu; 32 in Negros Oriental; and seven in Siquijor.

During the orientation, the enumerators were taught on how to fill in correction information on the SWDI general intake sheet (GIS). They were also taught about the SWDI tool kit’s major component, enhanced scoring guide and the GIS.

In Region 7, a total of 270,912 active Pantawid partner-beneficiaries will undergo the SWDI assessment, which has already started in August this year by the City/Municipal Action Teams. The target date of completing the SWDI assessment for the entire region is on the second week of December 2019.

The SWDI uses the qualitative and quantitative approaches and the advanced data capture technology (i.e. tablet devices) to reduce the time lag between the data collection and analysis, and to reduce the number of coding errors.

The generated result of the assessment will serve as reference for the planning of possible interventions by the DSWD or other concerned government units to the partner-beneficiaries to further help them improve their level of well-being.
