CBMS International Network

CBMS Database

One main output of the CBMS is the database. The CBMS database has been developed and improved to meet stakeholder’s, particularly the local government units’ needs for information. Developments have been made in encoding and processing data from the questionnaire from manual or tallying to the use of computers. Likewise, several softwares were used and some are developed in order to compute the indicators and generate poverty maps to present results in visual form.

The CBMS database contains all the information gathered from the data collection. The CBMS database is lodge in the community or local government. A CBMS database is also established at each geopolitical level to make it accessible to all users. Establishing a local database enables the LGU to share and disseminate CBMS results to local planners and policymakers, non-government organizations and other interest groups.
