Concept, Purpose and Objectives
- What is the Statistical Survey Review and Clearance System?
The Statistical Survey Review and Clearance System (SSRCS) is a
mechanism instituted by the National Statistical Coordination Board (NSCB) which involves
the
process of evaluating the design and instruments of statistical surveys or censuses
sponsored and/or to be conducted by government agencies, including government corporations
at the national and/or sub-national level.
- What is the legal basis of the SSRCS?
In the exercise of its functions as provided under E.O. 121, the NSCB passed Resolution
No. 4-88 requiring the proponents agencies to submit survey forms/questionnaires
prior to their use in the conduct of statistical surveys/censuses.
However, in August 1995, NSCB Memorandum Circular No. 4-95 was issued
providing a new set of guidelines for the implementation of the SSRCS.
- What are the objectives of the SSRCS?
The SSRCS was formulated to ensure conformity with standard definitions, concepts and
classifications, and consequently, the reliability, comparability and accuracy of
statistics generated out of said surveys and/or censuses. Its specific objectives
are: (a) to ensure sound design for data collection; (b) to minimize the burden placed
upon respondents; (c) to effect economy in statistical data collection; (d) to eliminate
unnecessary duplication of statistical data collection; and (e) to achieve better
coordination of government statistical activities.
