About CBMS-
Philippines
The Community-Based
Monitoring System is one of the tools developed in the early 1990s under
the Micro Impacts of Macroeconomic Adjustment Policies (MIMAP) Project
-Philippines to provide policymakers and program implementers with a
good information base for tracking the impacts of macroeconomic reforms
and various policy shocks.
The CBMS work in the
Philippines evolved after it was observed that there was no
disaggregated data then for planning, program formulation, policy impact
and poverty monitoring. There was also a need for support mechanisms for
the implementation of the decentralization policy. The CBMS is
envisioned to serve as a tool for local governance and complement the
national poverty monitoring system. The CBMS can likewise facilitate the
implementation of targeted poverty reduction programs with its household
and individual level data as well as the monitoring and evaluation of
these poverty reduction programs.
Today, the CBMS has
been adopted by the National Anti-Poverty Commission (NAC) and the
Department of Interior and Local Government (DILG) as the local poverty
monitoring system and as a tool for localizing the Millennium
Development Goals (MDGs) in the country. Efforts are underway with the
help of national government agencies, local government units (LGUs),
non-government organizations (NGOs) and donor agencies to scale up the
implementation of the CBMS.
