• Sampling based on the 2013 MS design of PSA allowed PSRTI to produce reliable regional and national level estimates.

• Only those barangays with households listed in the sample were included in the survey. Hence, no estimation was conducted for the community survey.

• Given these results, the country and the government can now gaugethe level of access and usage of the country and more effectively createprograms and policies.

• The DICT can efficiently monitor existing and upcoming programs nowthat a baseline data is already available.

• Targeting of priority areas can now be done more reliably as the resultssupport regional level analysis.

• Lastly, international benchmarking to determine how the country faresrelative to others can finally be done.

RECOMMENDATIONS

95

• The NICTHS is an important and successful initiative to gatherthe necessary data on ICT.

• Regular conduct of NICTHS (every two years) is recommendedto regularly monitor the ICT access and usage of communities,households, and individuals.

RECOMMENDATIONS

• For the next NICTHS, the PSRTI recommends the following:

• To retain its nationwide coverage. However, we suggest toreview other possible sampling designs to make the surveymore economic and efficient.

• To conduct the survey still in close coordination with PSA.Aside from obtaining the survey clearance, sampling frameand design for the survey must be coordinated well.

RECOMMENDATIONS

97


• To use the questionnaires used in the NICTH 2019, subject tofurther review and editing based on the recommendations ofPSRTI.

• To adopt the use of CAPI for efficient data submission andprocessing

RECOMMENDATIONS

98


• To adopt innovative data collection strategies to cover areasthat are difficult to penetrate, in coordination with DICTRegional Offices, DILG and Local Government Units, and PSA.
