About CBMS-
Burkina Faso
In Burkina Faso, the population remains
extremely poor despite the significant progress recorded at the economic
and social levels. The participative poverty monitoring system (PMS),
today called as the community-based management system, under the Micro
Impacts of Macroeconomic Adjustment Policies (MIMAP) Project, is meant
to serve as a tool agains poverty in Burkina Faso. Research on
participative PMS is one of the activities that support the government's
fight against poverty.
The first phase of PMS work in Burkina
Faso focused on the design of a research methodology. The succeeding
phase aimed to transform the PMS into a tool that the local population
can use for planning and managing its own development, notably in
evaluating and monitoring its welfare, as well as in deciding how to
improve its living conditions. The PMS in Burkina Faso also intends to
serve as a monitoring-evaluation instrument for poverty policies and
programs.
