MIMAP-Philippines

Community-based Monitoring System

Objective� The MIMAP CBMS seeks to provide

policymakers with a regular and frequent information on the possible impact of macroeconomic adjustment policies on the welfare of households, particularly belonging to the vulnerable groups

Specific Objectives� To provide an organized system of

collecting information for policymaking and program implementation at all geopolitical levels.

� To provide an up to date information on the welfare status and needs at the community and household levels.

Specific Objectives� To provide a tool in monitoring and

evaluating the impact of projects and programs.

� To provide a tool for better local governance.

Features of CBMS� LGU based

� Adopts the concept of mobilizing and developing the capability of communities for data generation and utilization.

� Dissagregates the collected information into functional groups.


� Reports the data collected to the higher geopolitical level for immediate intervention and ultimately reaches macroeconomic planners in order to influence adjustment programs

� Creates and maintain databank at each geopolitical level


� Utilizes the information generated by other monitoring systems already in place as a support indicator system

Features of CBMS� Has a core set of indicators.

� Community specific indicators.�For unenergized areas: proportion of

households with access to electricity

� These indicators have to be supplemented bybarangay, municipal and provincial profiles and secondary data.

Instruments for Data Collection� The household profile questionnaire

� Focuses on obtaining information on the MIMAP core indicators from households

� Demographic and other social characteristics can also be obtained using the questionnaire

Instruments for Data Collection� The household profile questionnaire

� Additional modules can be used to get information on other indicators deemed relevant to the community

Instruments for Data Collection� The barangay profile questionnaire

� Gathers data on the physical and demographic characteristics and available basic services and service institutions of thebarangay

� The barangay chairman is the respondent

Dissemination of CBMS Data� CBMS data will be made available to

planning bodies, program implementors and other interest groups.

� Data will be disseminated through:� Databoards� Computerized databanks� Publications

Use of CBMS Data� To monitor regularly the welfare conditions

of households and individuals.

� To provide inputs to development plans and socio-economic profiles.

� To provide the basis for resource allocation.

Use of CBMS Data� To help identify target beneficiaries for

program and projects.

� To provide inputs for program design, implementation and monitoring.

Geographic Information System� GIS Software

MIMAP-Philippines uses ARCVIEW

Palawan adopted the Natural Resource Database, a low-cost database management software

Geographic Information System

� Shows disparities across municipalities in a province

Map 1: Households with access to safe water supply by municipality, Province of Palawan: 2000


� Reveals the situation in the different barangays in one municipalities

Map 2. Prevalence of malnutrition bybarangay, Municipality of Quezon, Palawan: 2000


� Highlights variations across sub-communities (Puroks) in a barangay and shows whether the household is meeting or not a particular basic need.

Map 3. Households with income greater than the food threshold by purok, Barangay Salvacion, Puerto Princesa: 2001

Recent Developments and Future Directions� Palawan

� operationalized the province-wide implementation of CBMS in November 1999

� Executive Order No. 15 issued by Gov. Salvador Socrates


� The CBMS survey was conducted in the 1st

quarter of 2000.

� 354 out of total 426 barangays� 21 out of total 24 municipalities


� The provincial government was able to assess the human development of the province and its municipalities through the CBMS results.

� The data was used in goal-formulation, target-setting, impact monitoring and for goal and policy adjustments.


� Issued Executive Order No. 3 in January 2002 which mandates the following:

• the use of CBMS data as a basis for planning;• synchronizing the time frame of planning

activities; and• the allocation of 20% development fund of all

LGU to CBMS-based plans.


� Data presentation and dissemination

• presented the CBMS results in GIS maps through the use of ARCINFO

• adopted the NRDB – a database management software

• published the HDR 2000


� currently implementing the CBMS survey for 2002As of November 2002,

• 5 municipalities have completed data collection and processing and are in the validation stage.

• 16 municipalities are still in the collection and processing stages

Recent Developments and Future Directions� Puerto Princesa City

� implemented the CBMS in 2001 in 12 pilot barangays.

• 8 barangays have completed processing and validation stages

• 4 barangays are in the processing and validation stages


� data presentation and utilization• databoards of the 8 barangays• GIS was used to translate the CBMS data into

maps �� GIS maps showing the data from different puroks and individual households

• publication of socio-economic profiles of 12 barangays


� approved the expansion of CBMS implementation to 27 more barangays for 2003

Recent Developments and Future Directions� Other LGUs interested in implementing the

CBMS Labo, Camarines NorteMandaue City in Cebu Quezon City in Metro Manila Davao City in Davao del Sur

Recent Developments and Future Directions� Developments at the National Level

National Conference on CBMS in Palawan, November 19, 2002

�NAPC, NEDA, DILG and DSWD agreed on the usefulness of CBMS in planning, budgeting and execution of projects and encouraged all LGUs to adopt the system


En Banc Meeting of NAPC last November 21, 2002

�proposed the institutionalization of a local poverty monitoring system, a mechanism for targeting poor communities and assessing the impact of poverty reduction programs


En Banc Meeting of NAPC last November 21, 2002

�the design of the proposed system and list of core indicators, which was based from an extensive evaluation of existing monitoring systems in the country, was presented by Dr. Celia Reyes to the MBN-TWG last June 2002


Upcoming Meetings

�the proposed system will soon be presented to an expanded MBN-TWG involving representatives from leagues of local authorities and basic sectors


Upcoming Meetings

�there will be a meeting with the Department of Budget and Management and other donor agencies to discuss resource requirements in setting up the system


Upcoming Meetings

�the system would be presented to the NAPC en banc meeting in January 2003 for possible adoption and institutionalization

Lessons Learned1. Chances for natiowide institutionalization

are better if CBMS data are found useful at both the national and local levels.

2. Previous targeting schemes of national government agencies suffer from the lack of information thus creating the demand for CBMS data at the national level

Lessons Learned3. Decentralized system of governance

creates local demand for CBMS data.

4. It is important to work with local governments at the outset since they will ultimately bear the cost and benefits of the CBMS.

Lessons Learned5. It is important to include only a core set of

indicators to make the system viable. Whenever relevant, a few community-specific indicators may be added.

6. It is important to adapt the CBMS system to realities/capabilities in the country – customized indicators, data collection methodology, data processing, etc.

Lessons Learned7. Capability building of local government

personnel on diagnosing poverty at the local level using CBMS data is critical.

8. The use of GIS in presenting the data is very effective. With GIS maps, spatial disparities are readily highlighted, households with unmet needs are easily located, and projects to address unmet needs are correctly positioned.

Lessons Learned9. Data on household income is difficult to collect

in CBMS partly because of its irregularity and multiplicity of sources. However, income data is very useful indicator since it is very sensitive to economic changes and shocks. One way to address this problem is to provide adequate training to enumerators to be able to collect good and reliable estimates of household income through CBMS.
