THE 3rd ANNUAL CONFERENCE OF PEP NETWORK
Dakar (Senegal) - June 2004_____________________________________________
Tasks of a poverty monitoring system
• To provide a clear understanding of the characteristics of the poor, causes of their poverty, and where they are located.
• To monitor the progress and impacts of poverty alleviation policies, programmes, measures and projects.
PMS collects, analyses, disseminates poverty-related data to policy makers, researchers, communities.
Existing popular PMSs(1) Household living standards survey• quantitative income - consumption survey• both census / sampled survey • national scope• centralised activities(2) Participatory poverty assessment• qualitative survey• sampled survey • local scope • decentralised activities
• Heavy surveys • Too costly to be replicated frequently. • Different coverage and reference
periods of surveys => impossible to get a comprehensive profile of the different social groups at a specific point in time.
• Sampling designs do not usually correspond to the geographical disaggregation needed for policy planning.
do not provide regular and up-to-date picture of the poverty status of vulnerable groups.
Disadvantages of existing PMSs
CBPMS• Frequently conducted • Simple indicators (focussing on basic needs)• Participation of the communities• Different local scopes• Decentralised and flexible activities Low-cost. Providing frequent and comprehensive
information on poverty in localities. Easy-to-sustain.
Enhancing local capacity.
However... Concerns about CBPMS
Does the set of simple indicators satisfy the needs of policy-making process?
Does the participatory data collection meet the quality requirements?
Can local communities properly process and analyse the collected data?
Can results of CBPMS be aggregated and integrated in a national database?
Can CBPMS extent scope and become a national system?
Decentralisation
CBPMS at localities
A national database of CBPMS
Implementation of CBPMS in Vietnam
(1) Set of indicators:
Basic needs + Income
(2) Types of household surveys:
Census (1st year) + Sampling (next 4 years)
(3) Data gathering:
Local surveyors + External supervisors
(4) Data processing:
Computerisation + Ready software
Buiding a national CBPMS (1) Steps in our top-down approach:
Implementing CBPMS in a national system of poverty observatories 2002: testing CBPMS in 20 communes, 12 provinces.
Implementing CBPMS in provinces
2003-04: testing CBPMS in 2 provinces:
+ Hatay with 30 communes
+ Yenbai with 10 communes
Buiding a national CBPMS
Encouraging other provinces to build provincial poverty observatory systems.
Integrating data of provincial poverty observatories in a national system => Provincial observatories become national.
Buiding a national CBPMS
Buiding a national CBPMS
Buiding a national CBPMS
Buiding a national CBPMS (2) Standardisation and unification of
indicators at national and local levels:
Set of main indicators (for all levels) + Set of specific indicators (different for
localities and administrative levels)
(3) Institutionalizing CBPM and searching financial support.
(4) Integrating CBPMS with LSS and other national surveys.
