INTRODUCTION

The National Statistical Coordination Board (NSCB) produces provincial poverty statistics which serves the need of localexecutives, planners and policy makers for a more disaggregated data on poverty. Also, to further serve the needs of LGUsespecially at the municipal level, the NSCB started to produce poverty maps covering the poorest 44 provinces in the country. Themaps are useful tools for identifying priority areas that should benefit from poverty alleviation programs. They also show the relativeposition of the municipalities in terms of the overall poverty situation in the province.

In the poverty mapping activity, we adopted the Minimum Basic Needs (MBN) Framework which contains the three majorconcerns: Survival, Security and Enabling. The methodology involves the computation of the municipal indexes of each of the MBNindicators. These indexes are then plotted on the map using a Geographic Information System (GIS) software.

The NSCB Regional Division VIII is preparing poverty maps for the 5 provinces in the region belonging to the poorest 44provinces in the country which include the Province of Northern Samar (Annex A). The poverty maps for Northern Samar weregenerated using the MBN data gathered by the Provincial Planning and Development Office (PPDO). The 2000 and 2002 datawere used to compare the poverty situation of the municipalities. The maps were validated by concerned LGUs, agencies andprivate sector during a Users’ Forum on Poverty Mapping in Northern Samar held on October 19, 2004, at the Ibabao Hall, NewCapitol Building, Catarman, Northern Samar. The activity was a joint effort of the NSCB and the Provincial Government of NorthernSamar through its PPDO. The maps are targetted to be updated annually.
