IV. Concluding Remarks
Meeting the MDGs requires….
A national strong advocacy and sustained action to operationalize the goals and targets at the local level
Vigorous and continuous efforts to raise the level of awareness of leaders and other major stakeholders
Promoting policy and pragmatic interventions to realize the goals and targets
Building on gains and opportunities offered by existing collaboration and evolving partnerships among key stakeholders
MDGs: Issues & Challenges (1)
The MDGs have accelerated demand for data and highlighted limitations in their availability and quality.
A number of countries do not have enough data to track changes in poverty and child malnutrition, and in most countries serious data quality issues exist in measuring maternal mortality and access to water and sanitation.
Lack of data at the local level to track MDGs
Little local awareness of MDGs framework
Limited capacity to integrate MDGs into local planning process
Limited capacity to cost and allocate local budgets to reach MDGs
Limited capacity to monitor the MDGs
MDGs: Issues & Challenges (2)
Resource and capacity constraints hamper local government units’ efforts to address the MDGs:
To fast track the achievement of the goals, there is a need to localize the MDGs
The global MDGs provide a development framework in terms of measurable targets
Localizing the MDGs helps in making local development strategies more focused and more strategic
Why “Localize the MDGs”?
Having a local development plan that
incorporates MDG targets and corresponding
budget allocation for MDG-responsive PPAs
Adopting local policies that facilitate the
achievement of the MDGs
Establishing a local monitoring system to
benchmark LGU contribution in the attainment
of MDG targets and to track down
accomplishments vis-à-vis targets
Improving delivery of basic services to ensure
achievement of the MDGs
inclusion of accomplishment of MDG targets as
one of the performance commitments of the
LGUs
What does “Localizing the MDGs” mean?
It is an important way to align MDGs with national long-term planning
MDG should not be a national initiative alone
Local governments are required to provide basic services – education, health, etc. –spectrum that covers many of the MDGs
MDG targets can be used as guide for assessing local situation and establish clear social and human development priorities at the local level
Why Localize the MDGs?
A number of indicators being monitored in the CBMS are included in the indicators for monitoring progress towards the MDGs
CBMS is intended to be done on a regular basis and can therefore be used for updating MDG indicators and facilitating preparation of regular MDG reports
The CBMS can also be used as basis by national and local governments for costing and identifying appropriate interventions needed to achieve the MDGs as well as for resource allocation
Given the large spatial disparities, the CBMS can help identify where focus has to be given to achieve the targets
Why Use CBMS to Localize the MDGs
The CBMS’ role in localizing the MDGs was
recognized during an Experts Group Meeting
on Localizing the MDGs held on November 28,
2006 at the United Nations Economic and
Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific
(UN ESCAP) in Bangkok, Thailand
The Committee on Poverty Reduction
composed of 24 nations states urged other
developing countries to initiate and implement
similar innovative systems that would help
localize the MDGs.
UN ESCAP Asia Pacific Regional MDG Road Map
In 2008, the UN ESCAP also included the “Localizing the MDGs through
CBMS” initiative of the CBMS Network in the list of specific initiatives to be
implemented under the regional Millennium Development Goals (MDG) road
map.
Enabling Local Policies
DILG MC 2004-152 “Guide to LGU in the Localization of the MDGs dated Nov. 10, 2004 which suggests diagnosis of local situation using local indicator
monitoring system (such as CBMS) to monitor and diagnose the nature and extent of poverty at their level.
use the 13+1 core indicators in order to determine appropriate interventions and focus targeting.
DILG MC 2003-92 “ Policy Guidelines for the Adoption of the Core Local Poverty Indicators (CLPIs) in Planning” The guidelines were meant to aid the LGUs in
assessing and understanding poverty situation and formulation of poverty reduction action plans
CBMS in the Philippines
CBMS is implemented by local government units (LGUs) and intended to complement the national monitoring system.
CBMS methodology and instruments were developed over the years by the CBMS-Philippines Research Team with support from the International Development Research Centre (IDRC)-Canada.
To date, CBMS is being adopted by local government units in 65 provinces (33 of which are province-wide), 764 municipalities and 49 cities covering at least 20,382 barangays in collaboration with the National Anti-Poverty Commission (NAPC), the Department of Interior and Local Government (DILG), and selected non-government organizations.
Rationale for CBMS Work
Lack of necessary disaggregated data for:
Diagnosing extent of poverty at the local level
Determining the causes of poverty
Formulating appropriate policies and program
Identifying eligible beneficiaries
Assessing impact of policies and programs
Need for support mechanisms for the implementation of the decentralization policy
Central Issues in Poverty Reduction
1. The who, the where and the why of poverty: identification and targeting of the poor to enhance the effectiveness of anti-poverty initiatives and programs
2. The what and when of anti-poverty programs: identification of interventions/ investments that have the highest impact on poverty
THE WHO, THE WHERE AND THE WHY OF POVERTY: SOME DATA
ISSUES
1. Official statistics are reliable down to the regional and provincial levels only (i.e. the sampling design of many of these surveys provide estimates of the variables only at the provincial level.)
2. The collection of data is few and far in between, and processing adds a few more years so that its usefulness for policy design diminishes.
3. And yet, local government units, under the law, are the front-liners in the fight against poverty and are mandated to assume the primary responsibility for the provision of basic services and facilities and the improvement of the quality of life of their constituents.

CBMS Design
It is designed as an organized process of data collection, processing, validation, and integration of data in the local development processes
A tool intended for improved governance and greater transparency and accountability in resource allocation
CBMS generates a core set of indicators that are being measured to determine the welfare status of the population. These indicators capture the multidimensional aspects of poverty.
CBMS captures simultaneous deprivations for the same household at the same time.
It uses freeware customized for CBMS-data encoding, processing and poverty mapping
Key Features of CBMS
Involves a census of all households in a community
LGU-based while promoting community participation
Taps existing LGU-personnel/community members as monitors
Has a core set of indicators but system is flexible enough to accommodate additional indicators
Establishes database at each geopolitical level

CONCLUDING REMARKS
There is a strong correspondence between
CBMS indicators and MDG indicators.
CBMS gathers data on the different dimensions
of poverty for the same household at the same
time.
CBMS can be the tool for localizing the MDGS
by providing the monitoring system to regularly
monitor accomplishments towards the MDGs at
the local level
CBMS facilitates the preparation of MDG-
responsive development plans and budgets
CBMS as a tool for localizing the MDGs is also
being implemented in other CBMS sites in
Indonesia, Kenya, Cambodia, etc.
