DAVAO CITY – The Department of Science and Technology- Philippine Council for Industry, Energy, and Emerging Technology Research and Development (DOST-PCIEERD) granted a P1 million fund to strengthen research on Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Program (4Ps) implementation in Digos City, Davao del Sur.

In a statement, the DOST 11 said the project funded by DOST will address the gap as to how local government monitor the success or compliance rate of beneficiaries of the 4Ps program through a decision support-based data dashboard information and visualization system that would show statistical, graphical, and geospatial presentations on the effectivity of the service. 

The project titled "e-4PsMap" will be headed by University of Mindanao Director of the Institute of Economy and Enterprise Studies Dr. John Vianne Murcia  in collaboration with the City Government of Digos. 

The project implementation includes training 4Ps beneficiaries and the City Social Welfare and Development Office personnel in updating, verifying, and analyzing the data for the dashboard system. 

This will also help the government monitor the expected outcomes of the 4Ps, thus entailing accountability and transparency on their part. 

The project is funded under the Good Governance through Data Science and Decision Support System (GODDESS) program of DOST which aims to address the gap in the country's workforce for data scientists that enables and strengthens the government to adopt data-driven governance and evidence-based management.
