Admin Briefing for the 2024 Village Potential Survey (PODES) Application

On Friday, April 19 2024, the Republic of Indonesia's Central Statistics Agency (BPS) held an admin briefing for the 2024 Village Potential Survey (PODES) fluent application. The briefing was important because the 2024 Podes data collection this time used CAPI (Computer-Assisted Personal Interviewing) Mode, which is a method data collection through direct interviews with respondents using electronic devices such as cellphones, tablets or laptops. This activity was carried out online via the Zoom and YouTube platforms and was effectively participated in by all provincial and district/city BPS in Indonesia.

The main tasks that will be carried out by the 2024 Podes admin include assigning field officers who will collect data, evaluating data anomalies that may arise during the data collection process, as well as overall management of the PODES Survey using the FASIH-SM system. FASIH-SM itself is a survey management system developed by BPS to facilitate survey management more efficiently and effectively, starting from planning, data collection, to analysis of survey results.

PODES data is very useful for central and regional governments in planning and implementing village, sub-district and district development. Therefore, the success of the 2024 PODES Survey is very dependent on the ability and readiness of Regency/City BPS admins to manage the survey process well. It is hoped that this provision through online briefings can increase their understanding and readiness to face challenges that may arise during the implementation of the survey.
