1 Community-Based Monitoring System: A Tool for Poverty Reduction September 23-24, 2004 Manila, Philippines

2 Outline 1. Rationale for CBMS 2. History 3. Features of CBMS 4. Uses of CBMS 5. Next Steps

3 Why CBMS? To wage a successful fight against poverty, it is important to know the nature and extent of poverty. It is imperative to know who the poor are, where they are, and why they are poor.

4 Available Data on Poverty Irregular (ex. Functional literacy) Infrequent (ex. Poverty incidence every three years) Unmatched data so no comprehensive profile at a given point in time Too aggregated for the needs of LGUs

5 Administrative Structure Decentralization increases the demand for local data Information Availability CBMS can fill the gap National Provincial National surveys Municipal/City CBMS Village/Barangay

6 Localizing the MDGs Millennium Development Goals Halve extreme poverty by 2015 Ensure that all boys and girls complete a full course of primary schooling Eliminate gender disparity in primary and secondary education preferably by 2005, and at all levels by 2015 Reduce by two thirds the mortality rate among children under five Reduce by three quarters the women dying in child birth (maternal mortality) Reduce by half the proportion of people without sustainable access to safe drinking water Achieve significant improvement in lives of at least 100 million slum dwellers, by 2020

7 Objectives of CBMS To promote evidence-based decisionmaking To empower communities by providing them the information and processes to participate actively in planning and program implementation To improve local governance To facilitate targeting To improve resource allocation

8 History of CBMS CBMS work was one of the tools developed in the early 1990s under the MIMAP-Philippines Project to provide policymakers and program implementors with a good information base for tracking the impacts of macroeconomic reforms and various policy shocks Initially designed to be established in sentinel sites; then designed to be LGU-based in Pilot tested in Bulacan in 1995 Implemented provincewide in 1999

9 Adoption of core indicators Core indicators adopted during the Seventh En Banc Meeting of the National Anti- Poverty Commission through En Banc Resolution No. 7 Basis for the Memorandum circular issued by the Department of Interior and Local Government on April 29, Contained the policy guidelines for the adoption of the core poverty indicators in planning

10 What is CBMS? Features LGU-Based Taps existing LGU/community-personnel as monitors Has a core set of indicators

11 CBMS Core Indicators Basic Needs Core Indicator Health Proportion of households with child deaths Nutrition Malnutrition Prevalence Shelter Proportion of households living in non-makeshift housing Proportion of households who are formal settlers Water and Sanitation Proportion of households with access to safe drinking water Proportion of households with access to sanitary toilet facilities

12 CBMS Core Indicators Basic Needs Core Indicator Literacy rate Basic Education Elementary participation rate Secondary participation rate Income Employment Proportion of households with income greater than the poverty threshold Proportion of households with income greater than the food threshold Proportion of households who experienced food shortage Employment rate Peace and Order Proportion of persons who were victims of crime

13 CBMS implementation Activities 1. Orientation 2. Data Collection 3. Data Processing 4. Community Validation 5. Analyis 6. Preparation of socio-economic profiles and development and investment plans 7. Dissemination(databanks)

14 CBMS Flow of Information LEVEL DATA SOURCES DATA PROCESSING/ DATA BANK DATA USERS National National Government Agencies NAPC, NEDA NAPC,DILG, NEDA,DSWD,NGOs Other Data Users Provincial Line Agencies, NSO,NGOs CBMS Provincial Monitors PPDO Program Implementors Other Data Users City/ Municipal Line Agencies, NSO District Offices, NGOs CBMS City/Municipal Monitors CPDO/MPDO Program Implementors Other Data Users Barangay CBMS Enumerators, NGOs, POs CBMS Barangay Monitors BDC Program Implementors Other Data Users

15 Uses of CBMS

16 Preparation of Socioeconomic Profile Preparation of annual development and investment plans of the LGUs Used by other stakeholders Preparation of project proposals Monitor impact of projects Serve as early warning signals of impending crises

17

18 Uses of CBMS To identify eligible beneficiaries for poverty reduction programs of national and local governments - to minimize leakages and exclusions Can use single indicators such as access to sanitary toilet facilities Can use composite indicators simple scoring multiple correspondence analysis
