The Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA) in coordination with the Department of Information and Communications Technology (DICT) will conduct the 2023 National Information and Communications Technology Household Survey (NICTHS) on 05 February to 06 March 2024.

The main goal of the survey is to gather updated household and individual ICT data that are necessary in producing internationally comparable core ICT indicators. Gathered information will serve as valuable input in monitoring existing programs, development of potential projects, and formulation of future policies geared towards the advancement of ICT in the country. It will also
support evidence-based policies and plans towards the improved implementation of ICT services in the coming years.
 

The conduct of the 2023 NICTHS is a key step in addressing the lack of ICT demand statistics in the country as they are critical in identifying strategies for improving e-government services and its policy development, planning and monitoring processes. Moreover, they play a significant role in
e-business, as well as banking and financial services.
 

In connection with this, the Philippine Statistics Authority National Capital Region Provincial Statistical Office I (PSA-NCR PSO I) has a total of 953 sample households – 402 in the City of Manila, 398 in the City of Mandaluyong, and 153 in the City of San Juan. The office hired two (2) Team Supervisors (TSs) and seven (7) Statistical Researchers (SRs) who will conduct the interviews on the sample households using tablets through the Computer-Assisted Personal Interviewing (CAPI) application.

Moreover, PSA-NCR PSO I encourages the public especially the sample households to show their continued support for the success of this survey by participating and providing truthful and absolute information to the SRs.
