I. Brief Overview/Background of CBMS Implementation. The conduct of the Community –Based Monitoring System(CBMS)

survey in the City of El Salvador is part of the Public-Private Partnership

Project forged by DEG-Deutsche Investitions-Und Entwicklungsgesellschaft,

MBH, STEAG State Power, Inc., the Research and Social Outreach Unit of

Xavier University, Department of the Interior and Local Government-Region

X, Department of the Local Government-Central Office, CBMS Network

Coordinating Team, ASSIST Asia, Provincial Government of Misamis

Oriental and the City of El Salvador.

Therefore by virtue of the Sangguniang Panlungsod Resolution No.

046-2011 dated September 26, 2011 entitled “ Resolution authorizing

Atty.AlfredoQ.Tan,CityMayor,toenterintoaMemorandumofAgreement

(MOA) by and between the STEAG State Power Inc., Department of the

Interior andLocalGovernment (DILG), theCommunityBasedMonitoring

System Networking Coordinating Team (CBMS-Network Coordinating

Team),XavierUniversity(XU)andtheCityGovernmentUnitofElSalvador

in working with the “ PROJECT EMPOWERING” of the Private-Public

PartnershipProgram(PPP-P), theMOA was inkedand the technologywas

freelygiventous.

Training was conducted on December 12-13, 2011 with STEAG, Xavier

University and DILG as the resource speakers/trainers. This was complemented by

LGU’s key persons namely, Mrs. Julieta Y. Miral, CLGOO, Danilo A. Guigayoma-City

Administrator, Leo N. Magriña-OIC City Planning and Devt. Officer and Ma. Linda

J. Bajuyo-HRMO-designate. IT Equipment were also given as in: PC, Printer and

Server.

After the 2-day training, in December 19 the trained enumerators were

deployed to conduct the survey in their respective barangays.. The expenses

were shouldered by STEAG/XU and augmentation fund was provided by the LGU

for additional compensation to the enumerators. The encoders were solely

funded by the LGU as Job Orders. Even during these stages, the collaboration was

set that is, training allowances other than board and lodging were LGU’s

expenses.

Xavier University and STEAG then called for another training for the

encoders to encode, process, digitize and matching of all data. The final stage was

matching wherein the data is matched with the individual maps of our 15

barangays. This ended in February 2013. Despite the fact that we ended in 2013,

yet we were able to get information in 2012 on the consolidated data as

benchmark on our planning of projects, programs, activities for 2013, also for FY

2014.

II. USES OF CBMS DATA

1. For LCE and Members of the Sanggunian in Planning-Strategies and Enactment of Laws for public welfare specially in formulation of ELA-CAPDEV, CDP, LDIP, etc.,.

2. Tool for LPRAT in formulating LPRAP 3. For Planning and budgetary allocation to mobilize resources for

appropriate PPAs against target beneficiaries 4. A baseline data on the magnitude of poverty incidence 5. Enhanced databank of CPDO for information and process studies 6. For CSOs, NGO, Companies and researchers 7. Tool in Preparation of the Annual Investment Plan for Priority Projects

of the LGU

ACCESSING THE DATA:

During our ELA-CAPDEV-(Executive Legislative Agenda-Capacity

Development) Formulation, the CBMS data was one of the references for the

term-based plan. We furnished the Barangay Councils for their formulation of the

Barangay Development Plan. These information is our yardstick for our City

Comprehensive Development Plan and our updating of the Comprehensive Land

Use Plan (on-going CLUP updating ).

Students, investors , organizations, NGOs, CSOs especially the LPRAT (Local

Poverty Reduction Action Team)can readily access the CBMS through the office of

the City Planning and Development as resource material or reference.

The data of the CBMS survey was consolidated on its final stage in

2012 at the LGU level sans matching. It helped us in identifying priority

projects through the core indicators to specifically address the needs of

the beneficiaries, thus, determining where to bridge the gap

.CBMS CORE INDICATOR

The data in the CBMS described the basic needs and it depicts the current

poverty situation of the entire city. Being poor has a lot of factors within. Income,

unemployment are two of the pressing condition. No safe water supply is the

BASIC NEEDS CORE INDICATORS LGU’s CBMS RESULT(HHs count)

-22 HHs out of 10,129 or 6% -1 case only

B Nutrition Children aged 0-5 years old who are malnourished

-127 children or 2.5% of total 0-5 yo count 0-5yo child population not HH

C. Housing Household living in makeshift house Households who are Informal settlers

H. Peace and Order

CBMS 2011-2012 data

main cause of no sanitary toilet. Farmers ‘ daily livelihood cannot be transported

in rough roads, thus meager income. Poor attendance to school will lead to drug

addiction, child labor , children in conflict w/ the Law and other vices and a bleak

future, thus, stalled as being poor. Settlers in danger zones, risk and hazard zones,

squatters and the likes expose themselves to danger and health hazards. Poor

drainage system can be un-hygienic and disaster risk. These are the GAPS that the

LGU has to bridge.

The GAP that we need to address is significantly presented in the following

CBMS data for our guide in planning. Information was also provided for the Local

Poverty Reduction Action Planning (LPRAP) brainstormed by the Local Poverty

Reduction Action Team(LPRAT).

111.1 PROGRAM INTERVENTIONS

.Why are these families poor? Reasons are as follows which the LGU provided Projects, Programs and Activities (PPAs);

a. Income ( to sustain the family’s everyday living)

III. 3 Water and Sanitation /Local access Roads-FMRs(Farm to MarketRoads)

( No water means no sanitary toilets leads to unhealthy environmentprone to diseases and illnesses. Rough roads -difficult to transportproductsespeciallythehinterlandsfarmers)

To ease the living condition of every households in the 15 barangays,

500,000pesos/barangay were funded yearly in the PRIORITY PROJECT OF

THE LGU for Water Works System and One Million (1M) for road

concreting) to 13 barangays and 2 Million each for Poblacion and Molugan.

III. 4 For City Disaster Risk Reduction Management Council Target/ For Housing

In 2013 and 2014 lot purchase were funded to relocate those informal

settlers shown in the core indicators totalling 310 households from Amoros,

Molugan and Poblacion (higher numbers).

1 hectare lot was purchased for Amoros, 2 Million for Poblacion in 2013

and these lots were already bought.

In 2014, 2 Million is allotted for 74 relocatees in Molugan and 7.5 Million

for Poblacion informal settlers. These informal settlers were indetified as;

those residing in danger zones, squatter’s area, coastal area informal

settlers and those affected by development.

In the BuB budget, these informal settlers will also avail of the Core Shelter

Program of DSWD in the amount of 2Million, thus , complementing the

LGUs program to provide shelter.

III.5 PROGRAM INTERVENTION FOR DISASTER RISK REDUCTION

Above projects are programmed in response to City Disaster Risk Reduction

Plan.

Further, continuous drainage construction is done in barangay Poblacion

as this is a low-lying barangay

Concreting of Access road to Himaya Sanitary Landfill was provided in the

2014 BuB in the amount of 8 Million and 2 Million from DA and counterpart

of the LGU, respectively .

RECOMMENDATION AND NEXT STEP/S

CBMS data helped a lot. It gives us the real picture of the Barangay Socio-Economic Profile and as a whole city profile. It is recommended that a staff shall be assigned to closely monitor the program vis-à-vis PPAs’ implementation.

Highly recommended that the LGU will conduct another CBMS survey for 2015 for updating of the data (this is the 3rd year from the first round). That a comparative study shall be done on the outcomes of the programs versus targets and the situational analysis of the LGU .

2011-2012 data will be distributed to Barangays as their benchmark in formulating the Barangay Development Plan(BDP) , Annual Investment Plan(AIP), Barangay Disaster Risk Reduction Management Council Plan(BDRRMCP) and others. ( the conduct will be on March 245-26, 2014).

That the census takers or enumerators shall be closely monitored by TWG at the City government.

That Barangay Council members will help in validating the information gathered by their assigned enumerators.

That the City Planning and Development Office shall safeguard the data and shall protect the database and make back-up copies.

That the data shall be presented to all departments for their own targets in their project proposal/program.

The next pages show some pictorials from the PPAs that the LGU has conducted to improve the

lives of the marginalized sector. Pictorials also are arranged before and after the conduct of the CBMS
