The National Socio-Economic Survey (Susenas) is one of the sources of socio-economic data where SUSENAS data is used for planning and evaluating national development programs, Planning and Evaluation of Sectoral Development Programs (Ministries/Institutions) and Provision of SDG's Indicators, RPJMN and Nawacita. Susenas is the mother of all surveys, also known as the "mother of survey", because many indicators are produced from Susenas.
Susenas data is widely used by various groups, both government and non-government. Three of the four development targets are generated from Susenas, therefore the data from the data collection must be maintained and the continuity of data availability and quality must be improved.
