NSCB XI Releases 1st Edition
of Countryside in Figures: Davao del Norte
(PR-200801-R11-01,
Posted 14 January 2008)
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 first 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 maiden 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 fourth 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
Mall). Copies of the publications (available in print and in CD-Rom) can
also be acquired at the NSIC bookshoppe at a very minimal price. Inquiries
