Training of enumerators for the 2024 Census of Population and Community-Based Monitoring System (POPCEN-CBMS) is currently underway at the City College of Angeles. This significant event marks the beginning of a comprehensive effort to update both local and national population statistics. Through this initiative, the City Planning and Development Office (CPDO) aims to collect accurate and up-to-date data that will be instrumental in planning and implementing various projects that cater to the needs of the community.
The 2024 POPCEN-CBMS is set to play a crucial role in providing data for local-level evidence-based planning. This data will support the development of projects that address the specific needs and challenges faced by the community. By utilizing accurate population statistics, local governments can ensure that resources are allocated efficiently and that the most pressing issues are addressed. This approach is expected to enhance the quality of life for residents and promote sustainable development.
One of the key objectives of the POPCEN-CBMS is to serve as a reliable data source for registries that are essential for service delivery and beneficiary targeting. Accurate data collection will help identify individuals and households that are in need of various services, such as healthcare, education, and social welfare. This targeted approach ensures that assistance reaches those who need it the most, thereby improving the effectiveness of government programs and initiatives.
We are pleased to announce that applications for POPCEN-CBMS enumerators are still being accepted. This is an excellent opportunity for individuals who are passionate about contributing to their community and gaining valuable experience in data collection and analysis. Interested applicants are encouraged to submit their resumes to the Public Employment Service Office (PESO) Angeles or the City Planning and Development Office (CPDO) at Angeles City Hall.
Training enumerators for the census is a critical step in ensuring the accuracy and reliability of the data collected. The training program covers various aspects of data collection, including household interviewing techniques, data recording procedures, and the use of electronic data collection tools. Enumerators will also be trained on ethical considerations and the importance of maintaining confidentiality when handling sensitive information. This comprehensive training ensures that enumerators are well-prepared to perform their duties effectively.
Household data collection for the 2024 POPCEN-CBMS is scheduled to commence on July 15, 2024. During this period, enumerators will visit households within the city to gather essential information. Residents are encouraged to cooperate with enumerators and provide accurate information to ensure the success of this important initiative. The data collected will form the basis for informed decision-making and policy development at both local and national levels.
The 2024 POPCEN-CBMS represents a significant milestone in the ongoing efforts to improve population statistics and enhance community-based monitoring systems. By participating in this initiative, enumerators and residents alike are contributing to the development of a more data-driven and responsive government. We look forward to the successful implementation of this census and the positive impact it will have on our community.
