Philippines
III. PROPOSED PROJECT
The project will establish an electronic database for economic and
social profile of all barangays (villages) located in the 1,500 municipalities
and 115 cities. The database will be established in 16 regional offices, and
the central office of the DSWD. The DSWD central office will be the
central node of this system. The data will cover basic information of the
barangay (village) such as name, municipality, province, area, population,
number of families, age and gender, among others. The economic data
would include employment data of residents, source of livelihood, business
establishments in the community, etc. Specific data on deprivations of
families in the community from minimum basic needs would be included
such as water system, core housing, health centre, etc. It will also include
data on on-going government projects in the community.
The database system will be able to consolidate data and generate
reports in various configurations for various purposes including research,
planning, and programme development. National government agencies, local
government units and other government agencies will be able to share the
information from the database.
A. Objective and scope
The objective of the project is to assist the Department of Social
Welfare and Development (DSWD) in the formulation and development of
programmes and projects responsive to the needs of targeted beneficiaries.
The database will also serve as information bases for determining the
estimated number of affected individuals and families in case of calamities
for purposes of relief and rehabilitation activities.
The project will cover about 145,000 barangays (village) nationwide.
The municipalities and cities in the region will be connected with the
regional offices of the DSWD and the central office through WAN.
B. Cost estimate and financing plan
