3. Monitoring the MDGs
The implementation of the CBMS in the
province of Romblon had been a laudable
effort of the provincial government and
its 17 municipalities. The availability of
grassroot data at each geopolitical level—
barangay, municipal and provincial—has
greatly enhanced analysis of the current
situation, providing insights as to the
reasons and underlying causes of the
condition. The Memorandum of Agreement
(MOA) between the provincial government,
PEP-CBMS Network Coordinating Team
and the other provinces in the MIMAROPA
Region indicated the underlying commitment
of the signatories for the updating of
the CBMS database preferably every three
(3) years.
The inclusion of the province in the
preparation of the Provincial MDG
Report and with the technical assistance
provided including the provision of the
license software Stata, the provincial
CBMS-MDG Teams has been capacitated
to prepare this report and in the future can
generate similar documents. The province
will update the CBMS database this year
(2010) and hope to complete the CBMS
cycle in the 2nd quarter of 2011. After the
second round of the CBMS implementation,
the province will spearhead the
preparation of the provincial MDG Report
in 2011 and finally in 2015 to determine
the impact of the programs/projects/
activities implemented in response to the
MDG challenge.
For the yearly monitoring of the MDGs,
the province will have to rely on the
administrative data generated by the different
provincial offices and other agencies to
gauge the progress of the indicators being
monitored. This data will provide us with
information on a yearly basis the status and
trends, particularly the education and health
component of the MDGs.
