The barangay may also identify PPAs that can be funded by the parent LGU (e.g. the city or municipal government). Please refer to the Primer on Barangay Development Planning included in the IDMS Resource Materials for the complete guide in investment programming and budgeting in the barangay which are integral to operationalize the BDP. The primer also contains templates and other documents helpful for the barangay.

Preparing for Data Collection

As was discussed at the beginning of this guide, data collection requires only android devices to collect data; but training and practice for both the use of gadgets and the proper approach in administering the data profiling tool must be conducted prior to data collection. The barangay

26 Section 21 of RA No. 10121, and Rule 18 of its IRR 27 RA No. 7192, RA No. 9710, and Philippine Commission on Women-DILG-DBM-National Economic and Development Authority JMC No. 2016-01 dated January 12, 2016 28 Section 329 of RA No. 7160, and Section 20 (a) of RA No. 10742. 29 R.A. 7277 30 R.A. 9994 31 RA No. 9344. must ensure that enumerators or volunteers who will administer the IDMS tool to households are sufficiently trained to accurately enter and send accomplished forms to the database co-shared with the LGU.

As such, preparation and planning for data collection must already be discussed among the BDC and BDC secretariat during the stakeholders meeting and planning at the beginning of the year (or the previous year), ensuring that data collection takes place before the actual planning. The number of days for actual data collection, however, depends on two things: total number of households to be covered, and number of data collectors, enumerators, or volunteers available for the field activity. Based on the project’s pilot testing, the data collection with one household typically takes 1245 minutes to finish, depending on the presence of household member/s who have disability/ies. Remember, Parts B to F of the IDMS Tool (see Full List of Questions) only appears if a number equal to or more than 1 is entered on question number 12.a. — the number of persons with disability/ies in the household who can or can be assisted to respond to the survey. Typically, an enumerator can collect data from 10 to 30 households or an average of 20 households per day.32

Bearing this in mind, you can now decide how many days and how many enumerators are needed to cover the entire barangay for the IDMS data collection project. If you have 10 available enumerators, for example, you can allocate six (6) days of data collection in a barangay with a total of 1200 households using this formula:

No. of Days for Data Collection =

Total No. of Households 20 x Total No. Enumerators

32 Maximum of six (6) hours of data collection in a day.
