ISLAMABAD
\nSpecial Assistant to PM on Poverty Alleviation, Senator Dr Sania Nishtar has said that Ehsaas has successfully accomplished a countrywide National Socio-economic Registry Survey, which includes households\u2019 information.
\nEhsaas hosted a launch in Islamabad to celebrate the achievement of this milestone which was joined by Najy Benhassine, Country Director the World Bank, Julien Harneis, Resident Coordinator UNRC, Secretary Ismat Tahira and senior representatives of Government Departments, Asian Development Bank, development partners and media officials.
\nDirector General Naveed Akbar outlined the design, end to end digital methodology, approaches and rigorous transparency measures embedded in the execution of the survey.
\nDr Sania in her opening remarks, said, \u201cPart of Ehsaas strategy, we have just concluded a new National Socioeconomic Registry of 34.41 million households. We did various validations of the data to precisely identify the real poor.\u201d
\n\u201cWith the readiness of survey, we are now transiting from static to dynamic registry to make it more targeting efficient and to avoid possible inclusion and exclusion errors occurring due to continuous change in socio-economic status of the households especially due to demographic change,\u201d she added.
\nTehsil level Ehsaas Registration Desks have also been opened all over the country to keep the national socio-economic registry dynamic.
\nSpeaking on the occasion, the Country Director of the World Bank congratulated the Government of Pakistan and Ehsaas on achieving this historical milestone. The World Bank feels proud to be the technical partner in this game changer survey.
\nThis is not just Pakistan\u2019s but also South Asia\u2019s first digitally enabled socio-economic census. It will be really transformative that the registry will now facilitate data sharing for social protection programs of the federal government, provinces, government departments and development agencies, he maintained.
\nEhsaas conducted a door-to-door computer aided survey all across the country to gather data about the socioeconomic status of households. With the conclusion, this will be the most reliable dataset for the use of public sector institutions, think tanks and development agencies for designing social protection and poverty alleviation programmes.
\nThe data sharing will be steered through the Cognitive API Architecture approach. There will be two-way data sharing; agencies with whom data will be shared will also be required to update the registry with their own information.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
