NSCB XI Releases 2nd Edition
of the Countryside in Figures: Davao del Norte
in CD-ROM
(PR-201111-R11-08, Posted 14 November 2011)
In
line with its thrust of continuously providing the public with comprehensive
socio-economic data with local level disaggregation, the National
Statistical Coordination Board (NSCB), Regional Division (RD) XI, releases
the second edition of the Countryside in Figures (CIF): Davao
del Norte.
The publication contains relevant
statistics/indicators comparing the performance of Davao del Norte with
those of the other provinces of Region XI (Davao Region), as well as
rankings of the eight municipalities and three cities of the province based
on selected demographic, social, and economic indicators.
The CIF: Davao del Norte provides relevant,
timely, and accurate information about the province deemed helpful to local
planners, investors, researchers, and stakeholders interested in the
development of Davao del Norte. Through the Countryside in Figures (CIF), the
local government units (LGUs), the national government and other key
stakeholders can determine the appropriate intervention programs that should
be introduced in the province, cities and municipalities to improve the
conditions of the people.
This second issue includes some general
information and statistical indicators covering nine sectors: population,
governance, income and expenditures, prices, agriculture and natural
resources, health and nutrition, education, tourism, and public order,
safety and justice. For indicators where higher levels are desirable, the
levels and rates were ranked from highest to lowest. On the other hand,
indicators where lower levels are desired, the levels and rates were ranked
from lowest to highest.
The CIF: Davao del Norte is the provincial
version of “The Philippine Countryside in Figures”, an annual publication of
the NSCB Central Office, which presents the latest available general
information and statistics on governance, family income, etc. of the 81
provinces and selected cities in the country. The publication is also the
sixth CIF issue produced by NSCB RDXI for the Davao Region.
The CIF: Davao del Norte is now available at the
National Statistical Information Center (NSIC) library, which is open to the
public for free. The NSIC Region XI branch is located at 2nd
Floor, Amparo Bldg., JP Laurel Ave., Bajada, Davao City (in front of Gaisano
