Poverty in Bohol
High poverty incidence; unstable peace in some areas Poverty incidence rose from 37.3% in 1997 to 47.3% in 2000 in terms of families; from 43.1% in 1997 to 53.6% in 2000 in terms of population

KEY RESULTS
• In 2005, insurgency affected 46 barangays (villages).
• In 2009, Bohol announced zero armed insurgency in all its 1,109 barangays.
PRO-POOR TARGETING TOOL The Bohol Local Development
Foundation, Inc. (BLDF) and the Provincial Planning and Development Office (PPDO) collaborated to produce several versions of the questionnaire and software for PDMS, known during the early days as Local Poverty Reduction Action Plan (LPRAP) database tools.
PRO-POOR TARGETING TOOL The questionnaire was one of several
survey tools recommended by a national inter-agency committee which included the National Economic and Development Authority (NEDA), the Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG), the National Anti-Poverty Commission (NAPC), the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD).
LPRAP Process and Tools in Use 47 Municipal LGUs and 1 City CIDA-assisted LGSP-LED projects with
enhanced PDMS integrating MSMEs with core poverty indicators in the 8 municipalities of BIAD 5 to be replicated in 4 other inter-LGU clusters
AusAID and PACAP in the province use PDMS for poverty tracking and evaluation.
World Bank funded Kalahi-CIDSS uses PDMS in 12 pilot municipalities in Bohol
LPRAP Process and Tools In Use LGUs in District 5 Iloilo, Sariaya, San
Fernando(La Union) and Lucban, Quezon. In Mindanao, both General Santos City and Tacurong City; several municipalities in Central Visayas under an NCCA-funded project; four provinces in Mindanao which includes Sultan Kudarat, South Cotabato, North Cotabato and Sarangani under the EU-funded Peace Build Project
LPRAP Process and Tools In Use
A Catholic parish in Davao City uses PDMS to monitor services delivered to specific households in a garbage dump area in barangay Agdao.
LPRAP Process and Tools In Use LPRAP process has been brought to:
the Democratic Republic of Timor Leste and in Solomon Islands in the Pacific.
Under the EU-funded Development of Resources and Access to Municipal
Services (DReAMS) Project, LPRAP Process is being integrated with eco-budgeting replicated in India, Bhutan and Bangladesh starting this year.
Lessons Learned from LPRAP Experience in Bohol To combat poverty, we need: Legal mandates from national level Political leadership at local level A common Framework to facilitate the cooperation of all sectors A two-pronged strategy consisting of
effective service delivery and provision of livelihood assistance
Lessons Learned Meaningful participation of the people,
especially the target communities and households
Focus on priority groups (children, elderly and the disabled; the poorest of the poor; basic sectors, communities and households (and those in conflict situation)
Focus on poverty landscapes and areas vulnerable to natural disasters
“Upper Jaw, Lower Jaw” approach
