3. Conduct of the Training Program through Collaborative
Arrangements/Strong Partnership
In pursuit of its mandate and fulfilment of its responsibility in the
localization of SDG, PSRTI proposed a training program for the LGUs and
selected employees of the PSS. In conducting the training program, PSRTI also
adopt the concept of strong partnership of agencies gained from the
collaborative arrangements among DILG, NEDA, PSA, and all LGUs.
The purpose of the training program is to teach concepts and methods of
basic statistical measures used in computing SDG indicators and collection of
local administrative data as means of generating disaggregated data for
computing various SDG indicators at subnational level. Specifically, the
objectives of the training program are: (i) raise awareness on SDG with focus
on localization; (ii) appreciation of basic statistical measures used in assessing
attainment of SDGs; (iii) computation of indicators needed in the planning,
implementation, and monitoring of SDGs; and (iv) collection of local
administrative data, including CBMS data to provide data at subnational level
that can be used to measure performance/implementation, and monitoring of
SDGs.
The training program is composed of two (2) training courses describe as
