It is noteworthy how from its initial adoption in theprovince of Palawan in year 2000, CBMS has madesignificant strides in terms of span of geographicalreach and implementation, in encouraging greateraccountability and transparency among thoseinvolved in governance and execution of socialprograms and projects, in promoting evidence-basedpolicy formulation, and in providing platforms for thedynamic participation of local communities inplanning, designing and monitoring programs aimedat benefitting their respective communities.

I would like to thank and congratulate the Departmentof the Interior and Local Government, the NationalEconomic and Development Authority, the NationalAnti-Poverty Commission, and of course, the CBMSNetwork Office of the DLSU Angelo King Institute forEconomic and Business Studies for organizing this 3-dayconference. You have chosen a very relevant and

timely focus for your discussions, specificallyvulnerability mapping, disaster risk reductionmanagement, program design and targeting, andimpact monitoring, among others. I wish ourparticipants who are key officials and representativesof national and local government units, non-government organizations, and development partneragencies an intellectually-stimulating sharing andexchange of information on the efficient and effectiveuse of CBMS as a tool for relief and rehabilitationefforts, especially at the community level. May theoutcome of this conference serve to greatly improvethe way our country can prevent and respond to futureemergencies and calamities.

The strong partnerships that the CBMS Network Office has forged with localand national government and private organizations/units has provided aperfect channel through which De La Salle University has been able to carryout its Vision-Mission of “bridging faith and scholarship in the service of society”especially the poor and marginalized. Apart from enhancing the content ofclassroom teaching of our faculty who are engaged in CBMS programs, thesepartnerships have accorded our students enriching experiences by exposing them torealities that our campus learning environment cannot simulate.

My warmest greetings to the organizers, network members and stakeholdersparticipating in the conduct of the 10th Community-Based Monitoring System

(CBMS) National Conference on March 24-26, 2014 at Crowne Plaza Manila Galleriain Quezon City.

The DILG provides policy and technical support forlocal governments through the CBMS which enablethem to generate reliable information to diagnosepoverty and shape appropriate interventions fortarget beneficiaries at the grassroots level.

We are committed to help our LGUs generate thehousehold-level information essential in evidence-based planning and project prioritization. Theimportance of having accurate information becomeseven more pronounced when we speak of the need toput investments in the right place, what with thelimited resources of LGUs.

Convening all stakeholders composed of local plannerspolicy-makers and program implementers to sharetheir best practices, recent experiences, strategies and

lessons learned will facilitate discussions on how theCBMS tool can enhance program targeting and impactmonitoring at the national and local levels.

It is my hope that through this conference, you will beable to take full advantage of the wealth of knowledgeand exemplary practices as well as the exchange ofideas in this conference.

As we stride through the “Daang Matuwid”, I hope thatyou will continue to champion our common goal touplift the quality of life of our people.

Mabuhay!

These explain why in the last one and a-half years,NAPC embarked on the development and refinementof the Rapid Community-Based Monitoring System(RCBMS), an android-based data collection technologythat utilizes mobile phones and computer tablets inlieu of the traditional paper-and-pen enumeration.

NAPC’s special attention to CBMS is not just based on itsusefulness in poverty reduction planning andmonitoring but more so on the mechanisms it providesto directly involve citizens and basic sectororganizations in the collection and validation of datapertaining to their own communities. In a way, CBMSshould be the booming voice of the real “boss” – theFilipino people.

But of course, our people can all shout and just all endup hoarse. The bigger challenge that I pose before all

our local leaders in this conference is to ensure thatthe output of the CBMS, better if it is RCBMS, will not justbe a “voice in the wilderness.” We should be able tomaximize the wealth of information that will begenerated from the exercise so that local plans areowned by the citizens, and that these plans buildresilient, thriving and growing communities.

May this CBMS National Conference be the avenue forsharing what our “boss” said, what has been done andwhat needs to be done.

Thank you very much and Mabuhay!

One of the mandates of the National Anti-Poverty Commission (NAPC) is to ensurethat the social reform agenda is incorporated into the formulation of national,regional, sub-regional and local development plans. Part of the strategies to achievethis mandate is to provide enabling mechanisms that will encourage nationalagencies and local government units to intensify the collection and utilization ofcorrect and timely data for evidence-based planning and monitoring.

Since its launching in the early ‘90s, the CBMS hasalready covered 70 provinces (32 of which are province-wide) comprising 801 municipalities, 63 cities and 21,582barangays. From this coverage, 20 Provincial and/orLocal Status Reports on the Millennium DevelopmentGoals (MDGs) using CBMS Data have been published.The formulation of these reports helped increaseownership of the MDGs at the local level, reorientedlocal planning towards the achievement of the MDGs,and more importantly, improved the capacities of theLGUs in data generation and monitoring as a result oftheir involvement in the preparation of these reports.

We hope that the LGUs that adopted and benefitedfrom the CBMS will sustain their efforts in generating

and monitoring CBMS data for development planningand implementation.

We commend the CBMS Network Office in theirunwavering commitment to empower communitiesand we hope that through this 10th CBMS NationalConference, more LGUs will be inspired and motivatedto adopt CBMS as one of the means towards theachievement of inclusive growth and the MDGs.

Local government units are at the forefront of planning, resource allocation, andimplementation of policies and programs to reduce poverty. Therefore, evidence-

based policy formulation and budget allocation through generation of Community-Based Monitoring System (CBMS) data is essential for effective implementation of anti-

poverty efforts at the grassroots level.

Based on our experience in the province of OrientalMindoro, the key in addressing the “last mile” is tocollect and use evidence in decision-making andstrategic implementation of our interventions. TheCommunity Based Monitoring System (CBMS) works asan effective tool for this purpose, as shown by the localgovernment stories recognized in our program.

Moving forward, it is our hope in the local governmentsthat the CBMS and other mapping and targeting toolsmay be strategically harmonized to serve ascontinuous input and tool for better service delivery in

Dear friends and partners in development,

The truth of development work is clear: Reaching international and nationaltargets for development will not be possible without addressing the “last mile” ofservice delivery. This last mile is how we bring programs to the households of all thefamilies we have to service, how we make our policies felt in the day-to-day lives ofFilipinos.

We at the CBMS Network are committed to contribute to thisundertaking.

Indeed, 18 years after it was pilot-tested in Pandi, Bulacan,the Community-Based Monitoring System (CBMS)methodology continues to make lasting impacts even as itevolves amid an ever-changing local development context.Currently, it has already been implemented in more thanhalf of the country’s barangays and municipalities, atestament to how it has effectively responded to the demandfor a system that can provide a reliable and credibleinformation base for policymaking, program design, andimpact monitoring.

Undoubtedly, the CBMS would not enjoy the success itcontinues to experience now without the support of localgovernment units who invest in the system and providevaluable inputs not only on the design and implementationof the methodology but on its wide scope of concrete andpotential uses as well.

The CBMS has also benefited tremendously from theoutstanding contributions of national government agencies– notably, the Department of the Interior and Local

Celia M. ReyesCBMS International Network Team Leader

Government (DILG), National Anti-Poverty Commission(NAPC), and National Economic and Development Authority(NEDA) – toward efforts at addressing information gaps indevelopment planning at the local level.

Numerous individuals, nongovernment organizations anddonor agencies have also contributed resources andvaluable insights to the distillation of the CBMS thought andmethodology and we would like to thank them collectively.

Finally, the significant headways that CBMS has made overthese years would not have been possible were it not for thesupport of the International Development Research Centre(IDRC) which has helped us conceive the Micro Impacts ofMacroeconomic Adjustment Policies (MIMAP) Project whichspawned into the CBMS Project. We are also grateful for thesupport of the Canadian International Development Agency(CIDA) and the Department for International Development(DFID) of the United Kingdom.

Welcome to the 10th CBMS National Conference!

The theme for this year’s conference is very timely and relevant given the challengesthat our country is currently facing as a result of natural calamities in the Visayas

during the past year. While, experts agree that natural disasters such as these are expectedto increase as climate change becomes more pronounced, their toll on human lives and our

economy can be minimized if we actively learn how to build safe, resilient and proactive communities.
