in CD-Rom
(PR-200804-R11-04,
Posted 30 April 2008)
The National
Statistical Coordination Board (NSCB) Regional Division XI, in collaboration
with the Provincial Planning and Development Office of Davao Oriental
produced the cd-rom version of the poverty maps of Davao Oriental province.
The cd-rom version contains the thematic maps for 2005 and 2006 and their
corresponding indexes. It also shows some information of the province, list
of poverty mapping indicators, and an explanation on how to read the maps.
The poverty maps of
Davao Oriental will be presented in a Users’ Forum as some cd-rom copies of
the maps will be distributed. Among the expected participants are
City/Municipal Planning and Development Coordinators or their
representatives from the 11 municipalities/city of Davao Oriental, from the
Provincial Government and from selected provincial and regional line
agencies. The participants are expected to validate the maps and suggest
ways to improve them.
The poverty maps contains
indicators such as: underweight and overweight children 0-5 years old, new
born with birthweight less than 2.5 kgs., infant mortality rate, child
mortality rate, percent of health workers, number of households with access
to safe water, number of crimes against person, number of crimes against
property, elementary non-participation rate, elementary cohort non- survival
rate, and domestic violence reported to police and DSWD. It also shows
composite indexes such as for health, survival, security, and enabling.
The NSCB XI has able to
produce poverty maps for the following LGUs: Davao Oriental, Compostela
Valley, Davao del Norte, Davao del Sur, Panabo City, and the municipality of
Braulio Dujali. These maps attempt to respond to the demands for more
locally disaggregated statistics useful for local planners, investors and
other stakeholders.
