The Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA) granted clearance for the conduct of the Household and Community Profiling Survey 2024 by the Philippine Institute for Development Studies.
The study aims to assess the veracity of the list of beneficiaries of the Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Program (4Ps) by evaluating the coverage error of the targeting and content error of the registry of beneficiaries.
It includes two key components, including the verification of the correctness of the beneficiary information list and assessment of the targeting effectiveness of the 4Ps.
The results of the study will support improvements in the targeting system and enhance the program’s coverage of the poor.
The study, with a total budget of P8.2 million, consists of two surveys: household and barangay. It will gather data from 3,000 households and 300 barangays.
The major data items to be collected from the surveys include household characteristics, household size and composition, characteristics of housing unit, ownership of appliances, participation of household members in social services and programs, demographic characteristics of the household members, experience of economic shocks by the household and other household information.
Other data items are barangay community characteristics such as location variables, presence of facilities, presence of street pattern/network, agricultural classification, kinds of establishments, informal settlers and available government programs and services.
Questionnaires will be distributed and collected from September to October 2024, and the study’s results are expected to be released in January 2025.
