|
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. |
