WE LCOME WELCOME The year 2016 marks an important milestone for all of us partners in development as we celebrate the 25th year anniversary of the Local Government Code in the Philippines and reflect on how and where we have gone and what we have achieved in terms of enabling communities to be self reliant and effective partners in the attainment of national goals. The community-based monitoring system (CBMS) has been designed and developed in 1992 as a complementary mechanism to respond to the challenges of devolution, brought about by the local government code, at the local level. Among the main challenges then that CBMS Dr. Celia M. Reyes aimed to address was the need for a regular source of information Celia M.

In particular, one of the primary objectives of CBMS at the onset issystem to serve as a methodology tool for improved While the core community-based monitoring (CBMS) has local governance by providing remained the same, certain facets of the system have evolved dramatically an organized, cost-effective, and sustainable system forand generating the necessary disaggregated data changed over the yearspolicymaking in response toand technological advances as well while as for evidence-based program implementation empowering communities in the changing process.data requirements of local government units.

CBMS further strengthened the capacity of local government units in addressing the needs of the community. CBMS supported the increasing demand for regular, up-to-date and disaggregated information essential for development planning, policy making, program and project targeting. The importance of having accurate information became even more pronounced in view of the need to put to right investments the resources of local governments. MEL SENEN S. SARMIENTO Department Secretary Through the years, as LGUs fully embrace devolved responsibilities, application of CBMS has expanded to various aspects of local governance to include disaster risk reduction and management, participatory planning and budgeting, and achieving the millennium development goals (MDGs) and now the sustainable development goals (SDGs). Furthermore, the need for accurate information is underscored as the Philippines commits to Open Government Partnership aimed at strengthening transparency and accountability, and citizen participation in governance. I commend the CBMS International Coordinating Network for sharing their expertise and tools that will assist LGUs improve local governance and service delivery, and contribute to poverty reduction, inclusive and sustainable economic growth. Department of the Interior and Local Government M E S S A G ES The DILG shall further strengthen its collaboration and partnership with CBMS Network in capacitating LGUs to optimize benefits from the utilization of CBMS. 12TH CBMS PHILIPPINES NATIONAL CONFERENCE 3 National Economic and Development Authority In September 2015, the Philippines along with 192 United Nations Member States, unanimously adopted the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development -- a new framework to guide development efforts between 2015 and 2030. The 2030 Agenda -- its 17 Goals and 169 targets -- are a universal set of objectives that aim to stimulate people-centred and planetsensitive change. All the goals and targets are meant to be met for all economic and social groupings. DR. EMMANUEL ESGUERRA Acting Socio-Economic Planning Secretary The implementation of the 2030 Agenda poses a great challenge for us as the number of goals and targets has significantly increased. As of December 2015, the number of indicators tentatively agreed upon by the Inter-agency and Expert Group on SDGs Indicators is currently at 229, indicating a 281-percent increase from the 60 Millennium Development Goals (MDG) indicators we have been monitoring. The 2030 Agenda calls for increased support in strengthening data collection and capacity building in all Member States, taking into consideration the gap in data collection and the unavailability of baseline data for some of the targets. Furthermore, as the 2030 Agenda pledges that no one will be left behind, there is also a demand for official statistics to be more disaggregated, frequent, timely, and accessible. Another challenge lies in localizing the SDGs. Localization does not stop at raising awareness. Similar to MDG implementation, SDGs require a bottom-up approach in implementation. Thus, mainstreaming guidelines and fully capacitating local government units in planning, implementation, and monitoring of development programs and projects are critical for success. With these challenges ahead, the use of a Community-Based Monitoring System (CBMS) can further complement and substantiate our existing statistical collection systems. Through the years, CBMS has strengthened and empowered local governments in providing capacities and resources towards evidence-based and targeted policymaking. At the UN Summit, we have pushed for urgent action to combat climate change and its impacts. CBMS Network’s recent initiative on climate change vulnerability mapping is effective for disaster risk reduction-related interventions. NEDA commends the CBMS Network for its unwavering dedication and paramount contribution in local development. We hope that this conference will be a head start in our collective journey towards attaining the SDGs. We challenge the CBMS Network, our national and local government partners, and civil society partners to heed the call in making the 2030 Agenda a reality and to leave no one behind. 4 PURSUING MEANINGFUL DEVOLUTION THROUGH CBMS Through out the conference you can use the following Twitter # and Facebook page to connect: https://www.facebook.com/ groups/CBMSNetwork/ #CBMSCon2016 We are also transforming local governance by using technology as part of our system to improve our capacities. From the penand-pencil way of data gathering, most of us are now inclined to use tablets to make our work more organized and secure. This development is also supported by the Department of Interior and Local Government (DILG) by allowing the procurement of tablets for CBMS in the Bottom-up Budgeting (BuB) for the municipalities and cities. We hope to see the using technologies resonate in our other work – in health, education, peace and order, disaster risk reduction and management, business competitiveness, among other priority areas. ALFONSO V. UMALI, JR. Governor of Province of Oriental Mindoro, and National President of ULAP The trend is now very clear – the LGUs are now moving into evidence-informed policy-making, veering away from the traditional politics of patronage. In October 2016, we are going to celebrate the 25th Anniversary of the Local Government Code. The Code, which was passed in 1991, has provided LGUs autonomy, decentralization, and empowerment to better serve our communities. It has also allowed for the strengthening of our competence LGUs to govern and deliver public services in more participative and inclusive ways. Recently, we are measured based on our performance of our mandates, with incentives put in place for those LGUs that perform well. And CBMS is one of the manifestation that the LGUs are making a big leap in local governance. I would like to thank the CBMS International Network and its institutional partner here in the Philippines, the De La Salle University-Angelo King Institute for Economic and Business Studies, for providing the LGUs the necessary tools and technical knowledge in the implementation of CBMS in our localities. Moreover, I would also like to extend my gratitude and congratulations to the 75 provinces, 891 municipalities, 74 cities and 23,932 barangays that are currently implementing CBMS, recognizing the importance of the program, and translating data information into meaningful projects and programs for their constituents. Union of Local Authorities of the Philippines Community-Based Monitoring System (CBMS) is a proof that we, Local Government Units (LGUs), are evolving to be more efficient and effective in our work in the forefront of service delivery to the Filipino people. Our use of CBMS is making our programs more grounded and targeted, and we become more appreciative of using scientifically and systematically-gathered data to respond to real and felt needs in our communities. May our efforts bring further improved capacities built among our local governments, and greater impact to the communities we serve. Maraming salamat at mabuhay. 12TH CBMS PHILIPPINES NATIONAL CONFERENCE 5 De La Salle University BR. RAYMUNDO SUPLIDO, FSC, PhD President The passing of the Local Government Code of the Philippines 25 years ago marks the beginning of a shift in thinking and government policy. The State came to recognize that in order to effectively implement national policies and to enable our people to obtain their highest good, local government units (LGUs) needed to be more autonomous and responsive to broad economic and environmental changes as well as dynamic on-theground conditions. In line with this, De La Salle University noted the need to support local government managers and policy makers. Over the years, the University has encouraged the development of a CommunityBased Monitoring System to make sound, evidence-based decisions that will maximize limited public resources and implement long-term policies on the local government level. Community-Based Monitoring Systems are becoming an integral part of the decision making process in 15 pilot countries which include the Philippines. DLSU’s Angelo King Institute for Economic and Business Studies, as part of the CBMS Network since 2002, has been part of an international effort to advance, refine, and institutionalize CBMS in the developing world. As a Catholic institution guided by our founder’s mission to provide a Christian, transformative, and empowering education, DLSU is proud to share its knowledge base and research capabilities in order to positively impact the welfare of the marginalized, not only within the Philippines, but also across the world. May we all continue to respond to the challenge given to us by the Lord to pursue greater and higher purposes as resources for Church and Nation. 6 PURSUING MEANINGFUL DEVOLUTION THROUGH CBMS Through out the conference you can use the following Twitter # and Facebook page to connect: https://www.facebook.com/ groups/CBMSNetwork/ #CBMSCon2016 K E Y N O T E S P E A K E RS ROSALINDA DIMAPILIS-BALDOZ Secretary Department of Labor and Employment MEL SENEN S.

CABUAY Angelo King Institute for Economic and Business Studies De La Salle University Impact of Remittances on Youth Employment Decisions and Entrepreneurship: Evidence from the Philippines International migration has been an avenue for Filipinos to seek employment abroad and the stock of Filipino migrants has grown over the years despite the brain drain and other negative psychosocial impacts the phenomenon might make. With migration comes the flow of remittances which has also grown. A significant question still remains: how are remittances being used by families? Moreover, are remittances being used to finance productive activities? There has been a negative perception on remittances as well that it is being used for leisure spending only, vices, or generally-unproductive activities. This study utilizes two-stage multinomial logistic regression to estimate the impact on human resource development outcomes and employment decisions of the youth using data of four regions from the Community-Based Monitoring System. The study also utilizes treatment evaluation with propensity score matching to estimate the impact of remittances on entrepreneurial decisions among households. Initial findings suggest that remittances shift the youth from labor-related outcomes to full-time school outcomes, but when in a state of work, those that receive remittances have a higher propensity to be engaged in a family-owned business regardless of pay rather than being self-employed or employed in establishments. Additionally, it is found that households that receive remittances have a slightly higher propensity to be engaged in entrepreneurship in general. Disaggregating according to industry, the impact of remittances varies but have strong positive effects on entrepreneurial activities related to crop-production, poultry, service, and construction. The study provides actionable recommendations for the provinces of Cavite, Batangas, Negros Occidental, Misamis Occidental, Manila and Marikina, particularly on how to channel remittances to achieve highly productive outcomes for the youth and for households. PAULYNNE CASTILLO, MITZIE IRENE CONCHADA, DIVINA EDRALIN, and MARITES TIONGCO De La Salle University Promoting Entrepreneurship to Address Youth Unemployment The Bureau of Labor and Employment Survey data on youth employment reveal that the Filipino youth are predominant in entrepreneurial activities in the country. The youth is defined by the Bureau of Labor and Employment Survey as individuals between the age of 18 and 30 years old. Unfortunately, the youth also experience the highest level of unemployment, where 49 percent of the unemployed belong to the age bracket of 15 to 24 years old. To immediately address this problem of youth unemployment, the government encourages the youth to go to into business. Two of the programs of the government, specifically Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE) aimed at reducing the number of unemployed and at the same time addressing the education for employment needs of the youth are the Youth Education-Youth Employability (YE-YE) Project and Youth Entrepreneurship Support (YES) Project. The study focused on assessing the role of government programs such as the YE-YE and YES Projects together with other programs in addressing youth unemployment through an impact evaluation study using the propensity score matching (PSM) using the Community-Based Monitoring System (CBMS). Results show that the youth who availed of one or two of the entrepreneurial programs experienced an improvement in wage by around five thousand pesos per year while total expenditure increased by over one thousand pesos per year. Despite this favorable result, there is a need to promote the entrepreneurial programs among the youth and to follow-on their progress so as to assist them in sustaining the business. DIRECTOR ERLINDA M. CAPONES Social Development Staff, NEDA Towards Achieving the 20130 Agenda for Sustainable Development In September 2015, 193 Member States unanimously adopted the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. As the 2030 Agenda seeks to build on the Millennium Development Goals and address their unfinished business, taking stock of the Philippine experience in achieving the MDGs is critically important in planning and mainstreaming the 2030 Agenda. The presentation includes the country’s probabilities of meeting the MDGs targets and lessons learned in MDG implementation. The Agenda has the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and 169 targets 22 that cover the economic, social and environmental dimensions of development. It identifies the eradication of poverty in all its forms and dimensions as the greatest global challenge and as an indispensable requirement for sustainable development. During the UN Summit, the Philippines pledged to make the 2030 Agenda a reality and to leave no one behind. The presentation will highlight the Philippine priorities and emerging strategies in achieving the SDGs.

TUBBAN Tabuk City The Role of CBMS in Grassroots Participatory Planning and Budgeting in Tabuk City The first round of CBMS census was conducted last 2010 and this covered 42 barangays of Tabuk City. Predominantly, the local government of Tabuk City had invested for this survey to determine the current status and welfare of the whole populace. With the output that transpired from this survey, it was necessary to be utilized during one of the locally initiated programs dubbed as “Barangay Revisit”. This is participated by the Barangay Council, Purok Leaders, Non-government Organizations (NGOs), Civil Society Organizations (CSOs), Rural-based Organizations (RBOs), Religious Sector, Youth Sector, Women’s Organization, Senior Citizen Sector, Parent Leaders, Pantawid Beneficiaries, Education Sector and the rest of the constituents of the barangays. The survey output per barangay was highlighted on the Current Reality Dialogue segment of the revisit. This intends to ignite the awareness of the public of their real situation based from the empirical data reflecting the Core indices of the CBMS. The output of purok consultations that include the Programs, Projects or Activities (PPAs) were reconciled, validated and synchronized to the output of the CBMS census to identify PPAs that need to be prioritized by the barangays. The issues that surfaced show Less Access to Safe Potable Water & Poor Sanitation. In view of this, the aforementioned issues were highly regarded, thus, PPAs like Construction, Completion, Rehabilitation of Waterworks, Deep Wells, Spring Development together with the Construction and Completion of Communal Public Toilets were prioritized and budgeted in the Annual Investment Plan to address them. It is in this context that eighty nine (89) developmental projects were implemented for year 2014 and one hundred six (106) projects for year 2015. These account to P10,415,000.00 and P12,065,000.00 respectively. In addendum, the CBMS census output was a powerful tool in identifying indigents for the Philhealth beneficiaries aided by the local government. There were numerous beneficiaries enrolled to Philhealth. CBMS was also vital in updating the Comprehensive Land Use Plan of Tabuk City for year 2012-2022. CBMS had truly helped the local government in the delivery of basic social services, hence, it was adopted again for the second round that was conducted in the year 2015. Tabuk City will once again be using the reliable data of CBMS in crafting future sectoral plans and programs to come up with an evidence-based implementation of programs, projects and activities. It is also timely that we will update our Comprehensive Development Plan and will formulate the Executive-Legislative Agenda (ELA) for the new administration this year. Indeed, CBMS marked a history in making waves for the development of Tabuk City. HONORABLE MAYOR BENJAMIN N. TRIA Municipality of Looc, Occidental Mindoro Using CBMS Data in the Updating of the CCA – DRR Enhanced Municipal Comprehensive Land and Water Use Plan and the Barangay With the passage of the Climate Change Act and the Disaster Risks Reduction Act, each Local Government Unit is mandated to formulate its CCA – DRR enhanced Comprehensive Land Use Plan. From this document, the annual Climate Change Action Plan and the annual DRR Management Plan have to be prepared. These two plans have to be consolidated into what is now required by the Department of Interior and Local Government (DILG) and the Department of Budget and Management (DBM) as the Climate Change Expenditure Tagged (CCET) Annual Investment Plan (AIP). Each plan has the essential Objectively Verifiable Indicator (OVI). OVIs can only be identified, monitored and evaluated, if you have empirical data on hand. This information can be attained if there is CBMS installed in the LGU. CBMS census data of Looc on the type of housing materials for roof and walls; the number of population who have suffered from CC-related diseases; the number of households who are vulnerable to or have lived through calamities and disasters, and their readiness to respond to impact were among the information used in the formulation of the Barangay Development Plans.

Municipality of Orion, Bataan A Meaningful and Responsive BuB Using the CBMS The Municipality of Orion first adopted CBMS in 2006, and every 3 years thereafter up to present, CBMS was institutionalized in Orion through an ordinance. Data from CBMS has been used for planning activities, for facilitating evidence-based planning and identification of more responsive projects aimed at alleviating poverty for in Orion. 12TH CBMS PHILIPPINES NATIONAL CONFERENCE 23 Abstract CELIA M. REYES and JOSE RAMON G. ALBERT UNICEF’s Unconditional Cash Transfer Program in Yolanda–Affected Areas In response to the devastating effects of super typhoon Yolanda (Haiyan), the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) implemented an emergency unconditional cash transfer (UCT) program to provide quick relief to children and their families in Tacloban City and 5 municipalities in Leyte. The 10,000 household beneficiaries were provided Php 4370 a month over a period of six months. The study examines the design and implementation of the UCT program, and its impacts on the welfare conditions of the beneficiary households HONORABLE MAYOR GLADYS GASCON Municipality of Padada, Davao del Sur CBMS–How We Use It, How We Do It Lack of data is a common issue among LGUs when it comes to planning specially in coming up with a realistic analysis concerning social, economic, environmental and infrastructure sectors. Formulation of plans and programs is very limited due to lack of data thus the LGU cannot determine the exact intervention, the right location and who really needs the program. The CBMS data of the Municipality of Padada was used for poverty situation analysis to come up with the list of priority programs and projects for BuB CY 2017. Data from CBMS was also used for program targeting. For example, data on access to water facilitated the distribution of water facilities (jetmatics) to identified beneficiaries from different barangays. In addition, CBMS generated the required demography data for the Municipality to identify the households living along the rivers and seashore which was used as basis in the formulation of Municipality’s Disaster Risk Reduction Management Plan and Contingency Plan. DR. JUNETTE A. PEREZ, DENMARK C. ALARCON and MAR ANDREI S. UMALI De La Salle University Risk Factors and Access to Finance: Evidence from the CBMS Philippine Entrepreneurship The stages in the development of entrepreneurship can be affected by many factors, the ADB (2014) reports that access to finance or ability to source capital is one of among them, if not the most burdensome of all the factors. The paper presents that access to debt finance can be explained by the capability to pay of the borrower. Such that the better the capability to pay of a borrower, the wider his option to access debt finance or borrow capital from banks. Why debt? Reasons include debt being the cheapest source of capital plus it’s the easiest and fastest to avail once one has the appropriate requirements. The idea is to measure access to debt finance with the borrower’s capability to pay using his inherent characteristics. Such that a borrower’s housing type, gender, education, share of income, business assets, marital status, unemployment skills and economic skills can be used to determine his chances to access to debt finance. The paper uses the Community Based Monitoring System(CBMS) as core data and implements a three(3) stage methodology. Regression results show that the amount of business assets, housing type and number of jobs positively affect access to debt finance or the capability to pay of the borrower. Business assets provide solid collateral to guarantee borrowing and hedge against borrower default. Meanwhile, the number of appliances 24 and being a single parent negatively affect a borrower’s access to debt finance. The occurrence of bank loans is also anchored on the collateral of the borrower. Such that if the borrower owns or rents his house, of earning age, and has some amount of business assets, his chances to borrow bank capital is positively significant as compared to a borrower who is identified as a single parent. This is expected as being a single parent restricts the cash flow situation of a household, limiting the capacity to pay financial obligations. The paper also found that being able to access debt finance has a positive impact to the total sales performance of entrepreneurs as access to debt opens additional capital for business. Furthermore, results establish that entrepreneurs with access to bank loans have improved total family income and business assets. As such, the paper calls for examining alternative sources of collateral and/or guarantees for micro and small medium enterprises (MSME)’s debt financing especially at the barangay level, among others it could include a credit score appraisal for households; for empowering resource stewardship and risk management skills at the household level and for championing a need for a credible source of information through a credit exchange bureau or comprehensive database center solely for MSME’s.

LOYOLA Municipality of Carmona, Cavite Purok Kalinga When dealing with complex socio-economic issues such as squatting, it is of paramount importance to define the rootcause of the people’s plight, determine the location of their dwellings and what effective approach will be employed for their relocation. CBMS data on informal settlers have been used to identify households residing along easements, riverbanks, under the bridges, flood-prone and land-slide areas, along fault lines and other critical zones. The data generated from the CBMS census in Carmona served as the basis in formulating and providing tailor-fit programs for a more efficient resource utilization and accurate program targeting. ENGR. JOSEPH B. ESPLANA City Planning & Development Coordinator, Legazpi City Fostering Better Transparency and Accountability in Governance Thru the Utilization of CBMS Results The presentation will focus on the uses and applications of CBMS relating to grassroots participatory planning and budgeting/BUB, and impact on monitoring and evaluation among others. It will also share experience on the LGU’s innovation in terms identification of informal settlers per barangay as component of the City Shelter Plan. ENGR. MARLO B. VILLANUEVA Municipal Planning and Development Coordinator Municipality of Kalibo, Aklan Uses of CBMS for Development Planning in Kalibo The presentation will provide details on the use of CBMS in the Municipality of Kalibo, Aklan particularly for doing situational analysis relating to sectors of social, economic, climate change-DRRM, and environment. It will share on the use of CBMS for providing the necessary information as basis in crafting strategic plans such as; Annual Investment Plan 2014, BUB/GPB 2016, Solid Waste Management Plan 2016-2025, MEEDO Business Plan, Ecological Profile, Shelter Plan 2016-2025, KALAHI-CIDSS Projects, MDRRM Dream Plan on Disaster, and Migration and Development Plan for the municipality and thereafter in the implementation of projects, programs and activities. MITZIE IRENE P. CONCHADA and MARITES M. TIONGCO De La Salle Univeristy Making Social Protection Work for the Informal Sector: The Case of PhilHealth and ALKANSSSYA Program for the Self-Employed In the DLSU-AKI annual report of Monitoring the Philippine Economy, the Philippines maintained its growth momentum in 2014, besting other Asian economies. Given this, it is interesting to find out whether various sectors have benefited from this growth, particularly the informal sector which includes bulk of the poor who are self-employed and are mostly engaged in the services sector. The intention of this study aimed to determine the effect of social protection, particularly PhilHealth and the ALKANSSSYA on informal sector especially those who are poor and selfemployed. By the end of 2014, total benefit payment for all sectors amounted to PhP 78.2 billion (PhP 19.2 billion for the informal sector). Since the government spends so much on the PhilHealth, especially with its expansion of the indigent program, there is a need to investigate the effectiveness of the program especially on the poor. Utilizing data from the Community Based Monitoring Survey (year 2015) from several barangays in Metro Manila, the propensity score matching method showed that those who availed of PhilHealth have a higher annual income compared to those who did not avail (PhP18,975). PhilHealth beneficiaries are also more likely to have a higher annual income from entrepreneurial activities in the informal sector (PhP14,361) than non-beneficiaries. On the other hand, ALKANSSSYA beneficiaries also had higher annual income than nonbeneficiaries (PhP17,843). The results support the claim that social protection is indeed effective in improving the income of the poor, especially those who are dependent on the informal sector. Expanding the coverage of the programs for the informal sector, thus, will aid in reducing poverty levels. 12TH CBMS PHILIPPINES NATIONAL CONFERENCE 25 CBMS FEATURED PUBLICATION THE MANY FACES OF POVERTY (VOLUME 7) The official poverty monitoring system (PMS) in the Philippines relies mainly on family income and expenditure surveys. Information on other aspects of well-being is generally obtained from representative health surveys, national population and housing censuses, and others. In this regard, the CommunityBased Monitoring System (CBMS) seeks to address the gaps in the available information by providing data at the local level appropriate for diagnosing the cause and extent of local poverty, formulating appropriate policies and programs, identifying eligible beneficiaries, and assessing the impact of policies and programs. It also supports the decentralization process by capacitating the LGUs to collect, analyze, and use data in local planning, budgeting, and program implementation to a chieve the sustainable development goals (SDGs). The seventh volume of statistical tables and poverty maps of six cities generated through the CBMS methodology represents part of a series of publications from the collaborations between the CBMS Network Coordinating Team and its partner-LGUs. These partnerships have been in place for several years now, and these partnerLGUs are finally enjoying the fruits of their hard labor. The CBMS poverty maps will identify who and where the poor are as they provide a comprehensive picture of the different faces of poverty in different parts of the country. They will also aid in identifying the most pressing needs of the community, assist in prioritizing interventions to address these needs, and facilitate the targeting of programs for those who need the assistance most. The cities featured in this volume are Escalante, General Trias, Tabuk, Tacurong, Tanauan, and Tandag. The statistics presented in this report are based on the CBMS census conducted in these cities during a 2-year period–from 2014-2015 using the CBMS Accelerated Poverty Profiling (APP). 26 PURSUING MEANINGFUL DEVOLUTION THROUGH CBMS Through out the conference you can use the following Twitter # and Facebook page to connect: https://www.facebook.com/ groups/CBMSNetwork/ #CBMSCon2016 CBMS METHODOLOGY The community-based monitoring system (CBMS) has been designed to provide policymakers with a regular source of information that can be used to track the micro impacts of macroeconomic shocks on the vulnerable groups in the society. While it generates a core set of indicators that will enable monitoring of multi-dimensional nature of poverty overtime, the system has flexibility to accommodate other indicators that can aid more in-depth analysis of emerging thematic concerns including gender and development, monitoring the millennium development goals (MDGs) and now the sustainable development goals (SDGs), and impact monitoring of economic and noneconomic shocks among others, CBMS APP In 2013, the CBMS International Network launched and deployed the CBMS Accelerated Poverty Profiling (APP) for use of its LGU partners in the country in response to the accelerating demand from various users of the CBMS, particularly local government units, to fast track the generation of data for use in the preparation of development plans and budgets, and use of data for various development program initiatives. The CBMS APP is an organized, systematic and efficient process of use of latest information and communication technology tools e.g. tablets, and the standard CBMS instruments for data collection (CBMS SCAN), processing (CBMS STATSIM), poverty mapping (QGIS) and data management tools. Data is transmitted and managed and accessed through the CBMS Portal. Since the adoption of the CBMS by LGUs as a tool for local development planning in 2000, the coverage of CBMS in the Philippines has expanded to 75 provinces (32 of which are implementing the system province-wide), 891 municipalities, and 74 cities, covering a total of 23,932 barangays. At least 300 of these LGUs have been implementing the CBMS APP with support from a pool of accredited CBMS national trainers from the DILG at the central, regional and local levels using a set of structured training modules provided by the CBMS Network. The CBMS APP is also being implemented in selected sites in Argentina, Bangladesh, Ethiopia, Pakistan, and Togo and will soon to be deployed in additional sites in Haiti, Kenya, Niger and South Africa among others. Further information about the CBMS may be obtained from the CBMS website at http://www.pep-net.org/about-cbms 12TH CBMS PHILIPPINES NATIONAL CONFERENCE 27 CBMS IN THE PHILIPPINES The Community-Based Monitoring System (CBMS) was developed in 1993 to fill in the necessary information for more evidence-based planning and program implementation and for monitoring the micro-level impacts of macro policies and shocks particularly on the most vulnerable groups of the population. CBMS is an organized process of collecting, processing, validating and use of data for various development concerns. It was designed as a system that can be used and sustained by LGUs overtime and facilitates information sharing at each geopolitical level for purposes of better policymaking and program implementation. Since the early 2000, the implementation and use of CBMS has been supported by policy issuances at the local and national levels. Some of these issuances are as follows: • DILG Memorandum Circular 2001-105 Issued in August 2001, the circular enjoins all local chief executives to undertake local programs on poverty reduction and economic transformation and emphasized the need to designate Local Poverty Reduction Action Officers (LPRAOs) and to formulate a Local Poverty Reduction Action Plan (LPRAP). • NAPC En Banc Resolution No. 7 Issued in March 2003, the resolution directs LGUs to adopt the 13 core local poverty indicators as the minimum set of community-based information for poverty diagnosis and planning at the local levels and integrate such information in their local poverty monitoring system and local level action plans and program. • DILG Memorandum Circular 2003-92 Issued in April 2003, it provides policy guidelines for the adoption of the 13 core local poverty indicators for planning. The guidelines shall aid the LGUs in assessing and understanding poverty and its dimensions at the barangays, municipalities, cities and provinces with the end view of formulating an LPRAP and implementing the plans and programs to reduce poverty. • DILG Memorandum Circular 2004-152 Issued in November 2004, the circular encourages LGUs to intensify efforts in implementing programs, projects and activities towards the achievement of the millennium development goals (MDGs). 75 provinces, 32 of which are province-wide, 891 municipalities 74 cities covering 23,932 barangays atea CBMS APP track CBMS PAPER track At least 239 LGUs have more than 1 round of CBMS census (of which over 66 LGUs have at least 3 rounds of data collection) 28 PURSUING MEANINGFUL DEVOLUTION THROUGH CBMS • NSCB Resolution No. 6, Series of 2005 Issued in January 24, 2005, the resolution recognizes the CBMS as a viable and cost efficient system that can be used to generate the Core Local Poverty Indicators (CLPIs) and ensure uniformity and standardization of CLPI databases of all LGUs. It further enjoined the NAPC, DILG, other government agencies and LGUs to coordinate with the CBMS International Network Coordinating Team towards the fastracking and full implementation of the CBMS. • League of Municipalities of the Philippines (LMP) Memorandum Circular 027-2006 Issued in June 2006, enjoining all CBMSimplementing municipalities to adopt/sustain the adoption of the CBMS as a tool for local poverty diagnosis and ensure the incorporation of the MDG targets and utilization of CBMS data in the formulation of local development plans.
