Opening of the Susenas Wave 2 Training

Pemalang, January 23, 2025 — The Head of Statistics of Pemalang Regency, Teguh Iman Santoso, emphasized the importance of the role of Susenas partners in ensuring the success of the survey known as the "Mother of Survey." In his speech, Teguh stated that Susenas partners have proven to be resilient in carrying out their duties. "The Susenas enumeration on respondents requires high dedication, with interview durations reaching 1-2 hours, and sometimes necessitating follow-up visits." The data produced becomes an important foundation for development indicators," he said.

Supporting this, the Secretary of the Pemalang Regency Bappeda, Artiningtyas, emphasized that Susenas is a vital instrument for understanding the reality of conditions on the ground. "The data generated from Susenas is very important for the government, not only to understand the condition of the community but also as a basis for making strategic decisions, such as in the fields of poverty and education." From these figures, the evaluation of government policies is conducted," he stated.

This training serves as the initial step in ensuring that the second wave of the Susenas survey is conducted with high professional standards, producing quality data that will contribute to better national development planning.
