Challenges to PNVSCA in Promoting Volunteerism

in the Country

“It could be strategic if we knew enough statistics about volunteerism in the Philippines for decision making and policy formulation on volunteerism”

Challenges to PNVSCA in Promoting Volunteerism in the Country

“Aside from the PNVSCA, there are many other organizations concerned with volunteer work. But despite the presence of institutional mechanisms to promote volunteer work and notwithstanding the recognition by the international community of its importance, the fact is, currently there is a dearth of information on volunteerism. There is no available reliable measure of the economic contribution of volunteer service in the Philippines, and for that matter, in most other countries.”

Sources of Information on Filipino Volunteerism

Studies by the University of the Philippines National College of Public Administration and Governance  (UP NCPAG) 1998 

the Pilot Time Use Survey of the National Statistics Office (NSO)

the NSCB JHU-Non Profit Institution Project Administrative Records from agencies like the PNVSCA,

Caucus of Development NGO Network, United Nations Volunteers Philippines (UNV), University of the Philippines – Ugnayan ng Pahinungod; Jesuit Volunteers Philippines Foundation; Philippine Business for Social Progress; and League of Corporate Foundations.

Other Sources of Information on Volunteerism

In the international scene, data on volunteerism have been generated by the Johns Hopkins University (JHU) Comparative Non Profit Sector Project in 37 countries. According to JHU, in these countries, approximately 140 million people representing approximately 12 percent of their adult population engage in some form of volunteer activity in a typical year.

In December 2003, the United Nations Statistical Division published the “United Nations Handbook on Non Profit Institutions in the System of National Accounts”

The UN Handbook includes:(a)a detailed definition of NPIs, which makes it possible to identify them as a group, (b)a methodology for the valuation of volunteer work, which is significant in the activities of NPIs and (c)a detailed classification of NPIs by function. While the NPIs serving households constitute one of the institutional sectors in the SNA framework, volunteer work is not explicitly articulated within the framework 

In line with this, the National Statistical Coordination Board (NSCB), as the highest policy making body on statistical matters in the country, is laying the groundwork for a system of generating information on volunteerism. In 2008, the NSCB undertook a collaborative project with Johns Hopkins University on the measurement of the economic contribution of non-profit institutions and volunteer work in the Philippine economy. The objective is to formulate a statistical framework for measuring the contribution of volunteer work via a satellite account on non profit institutions within the context of the Philippine System of National Accounts (PSNA)

(a)Number of volunteers; (b) Number of hours volunteers render during a specific period; and (c)Wages at which to value those hours. The NSCB has been able to make heroic assumptions on these variables.

3 key variables onCurrent approaches in measuring volunteer

work need information

NSCB Paper Presentation- insights on the contribution of volunteer work in the Philippines.

In 2000, volunteers rendered an estimated 312.3 million hours of volunteer service.In 2009, the total value of volunteer work reached Php 44.5 billion, from Php 20.1 billion in 2000. On the average, the value of volunteer work increased annually by 10.2 percent at current prices and by 6.4 percent at constant prices, during the 9-year period from 2000-2009.Volunteer work constituted about 0.6 percent of GDP from 2000-2009
