ALLOCATION AND SHIPMENT OF CENSUS MATERIALS AND SUPPLIES

The efficient allocation of resources during the conduct of the 2022 CAF will significantly contribute to the success of the entire census operation. Any delay in the distribution of census materials will have a domino effect on the succeeding phases of the operation.

This chapter explains the allocation scheme for the census supplies and materials by type, as well as the major census forms to be printed and census supplies and materials to be procured. The general allocation plan shall be used as basis in drawing up the allocation, distribution, and transport plans of the FOs.

3.1 PRINTING OF FORMS AND MANUALS

The CO is primarily responsible for the printing and shipment of the questionnaires, manuals, codebooks, enumerator’s handbook, and training workbook to be used in the 2022 CAF.

5. Taking Care of the Tablets

All personnel involved in the receipt, transmittal, and safekeeping of tablets including but not limited to property custodian, ISA-I, and hired personnel should always observe proper handling of tablets, as follows:

1. Keep the tablet away from bad elements. Don’t leave the tablet in direct sunlight for a long period of time or anywhere that it might be in excessive heat. Keep it in normal, dry, room-temperature environments. Extreme heat or cold can damage the sensitive components inside, including the tablet display.

2. Keep the tablet in places where there is no chance of falling.

3. Keep the tablet away from food and liquids.

4. Do not put weight on the tablet. It could damage the display and its other components.

5. Don't let the battery go below 20%. Don’t keep it in charging every now and then. In an emergency it's okay but you shouldn't keep it in charge when the tablet has 70, 80, or 90 % charge, it affects battery life.

6. Clean it regularly with a cloth.

7. Do not use a hotspot while the tablet is charging, it will heat a lot and charging will be too slow.

8. Never make any phone calls when the tablet is in charge. Remove it from the plug and then make a call or answer a call.

10. Do not leave your tablet. Carry it at all times.

6. Incident Reporting

In case of breakage, damage, failure to function, missing, or stolen tablets, notify your supervisor immediately (within 24 hours). The PSA Focal Person/Supervisor should file an incident report through this link: https://tinyurl.com/CAFTabletIncidentReport and inform the 2022 CAF-CPS through email address cps2022caf@psa.gov.ph

In case of a factory defect or malfunction of new tablets, this will be covered by the warranty. The CO will then advise the supplier and the next step to take by the RSSO/PSO for the repair of the tablet.

In case of accident-related breakage or damage to the new tablet (human error), it will be covered by the insurance. The CO will advise the supplier and the next step to take by the RSSO/PSO for the repair of the tablet.

In case of missing or stolen tablets, the PSA Focal Person/Supervisor will also lead the filing of a police report within 24 hours.

To ensure the smooth and efficient shipment/delivery/distribution of 2022 CAF questionnaires, manuals, and other materials (Training Workbook, Enumerator’s handbook, Codebook, blown-up forms) from the Central Office to the Field Offices, the List of Drop-off points/Addresses and Receivers of Materials for the 2022 CAF that was provided to 2022 CAF-CPS will be followed.

C. RSSO to PSO; PSO to CAS

Each RSSO/PSO should work out a feasible transport plan to ensure complete and prompt delivery of the census materials. The plan should also include the census personnel who will be involved in the transport of census materials. Some of the aforementioned basic procedures should be adopted for this purpose.

3.4 ALLOCATION AND DISTRIBUTION OF CENSUS MATERIALS FOR TRAINING AND ENUMERATION

The following are the guidelines on the allocation of materials to be used during the training and enumeration:

A. Allocation Procedures

In general, the allocation is based on the following guidelines:

1. The Provincial Focal Person (PFP) under the guidance of the PSO-CSS should be responsible for the barangay level allocation. Barangay level allocation must not exceed the total allocation for the city/municipality. Refer to the Enumeration Area Reference File (EARF) for the estimated number of households per EA/barangay and Table 3.1 for the general allocation scheme.

2. If the allocation for the PSO is not enough, the PSO-CSS should request additional materials from the RSSO. The RD through Regional Focal Person (RFP)should assess the additional requirements of each province in the region to see if the reserve is enough for the needs of the entire region. If not, he/she should notify the CO and request additional materials.

3. If re-allocation is done, the questionnaires should not be mixed up. All field reporting and administrative forms should be sorted and packaged together in a separate box to facilitate distribution by the PFP to CAS/ACAS to the Team Supervisors (TS) and Enumerators (EN). The name of the city/municipality, “Box ___ of ___ Boxes”, and list of contents should be indicated in the labels of the boxes.

4. The PSO should prepare two copies of CAF Form 18 (Transmittal/Receipt Form), which contains the type and quantity of census materials transmitted to the CAS, the duplicate of which should be returned to the PSO.

The CAS should prepare two copies of CAF Form 18 which contains the type and quantity of census supplies and materials that will be transmitted to the TSs. Likewise, two copies of CAF Form 18 should also be prepared for transmitting the census supplies and materials from the TS to ENs. The personnel who transmit the census materials should always retain the duplicate copy.

B. Distribution of Census Materials and Supplies

After the allocation of census materials by city/municipality has been completed, the PSO-CSS is expected to perform the following:

ICT

Field Operations Manual | Chapter 3 – Allocation and Shipment of Census Materials and Supplies 48

1. Plan for the most practical and fastest means of distributing the materials to the cities/municipalities so that the census materials can reach the personnel concerned on time.

2. Make arrangements with other cooperating agencies for the transport of the materials to the official station of the CAS and ACAS, if necessary.

3. Provide a copy of the list of allocation for cities/municipalities to the respective CASs and ACASs during their training or prior to the training of ENs.
