About the CBMS GRB Project |
| The CBMS-GRB project aims to develop and pilot test an enhanced Community-Based Monitoring System that takes into account gender issues, facilitates gender responsive budgeting at the local level, and incorporates a planning and budgeting module. This endeavor looks at letting CBMS go beyond data disaggregation and gives ample attention to gender considerations in data analysis, validation and ultimately in utilization of CBMS data for planning and budgeting apart from its other uses for local governance.
In order to let CBMS further facilitate GRB and even mainstream budgeting processes, a number of modifications and enhancements need to be incorporated and strategic partnerships built and strengthened. These include: modification of CBMS data collection instruments, processing, mapping and consolidation modules; adjustments in the standard CBMS methodology to augment its gender budgeting capabilities; training and capacity building; pilot testing of the enhanced system; sharing of experiences; and assessment of the effectiveness of the system in answering data needs of gender responsive budgeting. Through these activities, it is expected that this endeavor will provide substantial information and research significance specifically in government budgeting, gender equality, and gender related poverty among others. This endeavor will also lay the groundwork for future CBMS enhancement activities, as well as in replicating the system in other sites in the Philippines as well as in other countries. This project is carried out with the aid of a grant from the International Development Research Centre (IDRC) of Canada. |
