About the Conference
The annual CBMS conference gathers partners and stakeholders from national and local government units, non-government organizations, academe and development partner agencies to discuss latest developments, findings, and best practices on the uses of CBMS for local planning and budgeting, program implementation and impact monitoring in the context of various thematic concerns including poverty reduction/eradication, gender and development, migration and development, disaster-risk reduction management and climate change adaptation, and meeting global goals (MDGS and now the SDGs) among others.
Since 2000, CBMS has been adopted by local government units in the Philippines as a tool for local planning and budgeting, poverty diagnosis, program targeting and implementation, and monitoring. The CBMS has also provided the necessary organized platform to build capacities of LGUs to produce relevant disaggregated data and establish local level databases to localize the millennium development goals (MDGs), and facilitate the implementation of other initiatives including bottom up planning and budgeting and preparation, hazard and vulnerability mapping, and preparation and implementation of disaster risk reduction management and climate change adaptation plans among others. CBMS has been also been developed and pilot tested in at least 20 countries in Asia, Africa, Latin America and North America, and has been used as a tool to generate necessary disaggregated data for analyzing policy issues on multidimensional poverty, gender responsive planning and budgeting, monitoring the global goals (MDGs/SDGs), social protection in the informal sector, youth unemployment, financial inclusion and entrpreneurship, among others. CBMS has also been used to examine policy shocks including food and fuel crisis, and global financial crisis and impacts of climate change.
This year’s conference with the general theme, Localizing the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) through the Community-Based Monitoring System, aims to feature and discuss the uses of the CBMS for identifying priority needs, and implementing program interventions in line with meeting the SDGs. This year’s conference with the theme “Localizing the SDGs through CBMS”, generally aims to feature good practices and strategies of LGUs in various socioeconomic, demographic, and geographical contexts to meet the different SDG targets, and discuss areas for possible collaboration with development partners, private organizations and non-government organizations to address identified needs and challenges. Aside from presentations from selected LGU-CBMS partners in the Philippines, this year’s policy conference will also include presentations from invited CBMS research teams from partner institutions in 7 countries that are currently being supported and mentored by the CBMS Network Office in their pilot adoption and use of the CBMS methodology for localizing the SDGs and for examining thematic issues relating to financial inclusion and entrepreneurship, youth unemployment, women empowerment, agricultural productivity and poverty reduction among others.
The conference is being organized by the Community-Based Monitoring System (CBMS) Network Office based at the De La Salle University–Angelo King Institute for Economic and Business Studies in Manila, Philippines in partnership with the Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG).
