Going the extra mile!

The employees of the provincial government of Davao de Oro as the trained enumerators and geo taggers braved the mountains and remote areas, walked long miles, crossed rivers using bamboo raft just to help establish a concrete, accurate and reliable baseline data as point of reference that serves as basis for the decision makers and development planners to come up with an evidence-based quality, doable and implementable plans, policies programs and projects to be prioritized.

Through the Provincial Household Profiling and Needs Assessment (PHPNA), the government will get new, accurate and correct data in terms of health, demographics characteristics, building/house structural characteristics, climate change and disaster information, and accessibility and communication.

This activity is set to be completed until November this year and shall be conducted in all municipalities of the province as part of steeping up data collection, and improving DDO through Information and Communication Technology (ICT).

To give real service you must add something which cannot be bought or measured with money, and that is sincerity and integrity. The best way to find yourself is to lose yourself in the service of others. There's no greater challenge and there is no greater honor than to be in public service. (Rey Antibo, ID DDO)
