Susenas and Seruti Officer Training March 2023

The National Socioeconomic Survey (Susenas) is a survey activity conducted by the Central Bureau of Statistics (BPS) to collect information related to social, economic and population conditions in an area. Examples of indicators generated from Susenas are the Poverty Rate and Human Development Index (IPM). 

Susenas data results are always eagerly awaited by various groups because they contain important information regarding various development targets which are often used as the basis for planning, monitoring, evaluating related to the social and economic conditions of the community.

The implementation of this year's Susenas is different from previous years because this year is the first time that integration has taken place between Susenas and Seruti. Seruti (Quarterly Household Economic Survey) is a household-based survey that is integrated with three surveys namely the National Socioeconomic Survey (Susenas), the Special Quarterly Household Consumption Survey (SKKRT), and the Special Survey on Household Savings and Investment (SKTIR) which aims to to reduce duplication of activities and increase efficiency, as well as produce higher quality household economic statistical data. 

BPS Way Kanan Regency has conducted face-to-face training for officers for the National Socio-Economic Survey (Susenas) and the March 2023 Quarterly Household Economic Survey (Seruti) at the Arinas Hotel in Bandar Lampung. This training is divided into 2 (two) batches, namely the first batch on 4-5 February 2023 for Susenas and 6 February 2023 for Seruti. Meanwhile, the second batch will be held on 9-10 February 2023.

This training was opened by the Head of BPS Way Kanan Regency, Bapakal Eko Purnomo SST., M.M. Participants who took part in this training were 41 officers in batch 1 and 23 officers in the second wave with the Regional Instructor (Inda) teaching Yunita Susila, S.Si. and Viky Wijaya, S.Tr.Stat.

This training aims to provide understanding to prospective officers regarding the implementation of data collection in the field starting from the concepts, methodologies and procedures for collecting data in the field that are good and correct so that quality employment data is obtained. It is hoped that participants in this training can understand the material delivered by regional instructors well so that data collection can run smoothly, on time and produce quality data.
