Case Study - Philippines Metagora Pilot Project CHAPTER 4: TRAINING FOR FIELD OPERATIONS (page 1)
In order to ensure quality results from the pilot survey, it is important that all personnel involved in the survey undergo training on the concepts and definitions used in the survey, the procedures used in implementing the questionnaires and other forms, and the procedures of enumeration. The training is a way to ensure that correct and uniform procedures will be adopted in the survey operation.
The training programme for the Metagora Project “2005 Pilot Survey on the Diagnosis of the Indigenous Peoples’ Rights in Ancestral Domains in the Philippines” involved training of personnel involved in the survey operations. For this survey, two levels of training were conducted, namely the Trainers’ Training (Level I) and Interviewers’ Training (Level II).
4.1 LEVEL I – TRAINERS’ TRAINING
4.1.1 Objective of the Trainers’ Training
The trainers’ training was a two-day training of trainers conducted at the Sea and Sky Hotel, San Fernando City, La Union from 23 to 24 February 2005. The training prepared trainers in conducting training for the enumerators. The concepts, definitions, and procedures to be used in the survey were taught and discussed, first with the prospective trainers, so that the correct procedures would be properly disseminated to the enumerators.
4.1.2 Trainers and Participants
The participants of the first-level training were the NSO Central Office Metagora project staff, the Regional Directors (RDs), Provincial Statistics Officers (PSOs), and their respective assistants of the provinces of Aurora, Nueva Vizcaya, Quirino, Ilocos Sur and Benguet. The participants of the first-level training were tasked to train the interviewers during the second-level training. Representatives from the Commission on Human Rights of the Philippines (CHRP), National Commission on Indigenous Peoples (NCIP) and National Statistical Coordination Board (NSCB) were the trainers at this level.
Aside from the NSO personnel, representatives from the Region I CHRP and NCIP Offices also attended the first-level training.
