Resolution No.1 Series of 2003

Government (DILG) to establish mechanisms to
monitor and provide impetus for LGUs to
contribute to the achievement of national MDG
targets through the provision of appropriate
services

ADVOCACY
Figure 1. Strategic Framework for MDG Localization
MDG-Fund Facility
• Lead: DILG and Department of Finance’s Municipal
Development Fund Office
• Why: Limited resources of low-income class LGUs to finance
local socio-economic development sub-projects in line with the
MDGs
• How: Provides concessional loan financing opportunities to 4th
to 6th income class LGUs; PhP500 million (USD12m)
capitalization
• Progress: 35 sub-projects by 30 LGUs within the period from
FY 2009-2012; 99.5% fund utilization
MDG-Fund Facility (cont’d)
• Funded Projects: Water supply systems; heavy equipment for
solid waste management, farming and road maintenance;
Public Markets/ Trading Posts; Health infrastructure/equipment;
Ecotourism and Economic Enterprise Development project;
Ecological Solid Waste Management project; and construction
of Day Care Centers
• The high availment rate reflects LGU appreciation and
prioritization for socio-economic projects to improve basic
services
• This partnership between the DILG and the DOF was deemed
strategic: DOF provided financing and while the Department
provided technical assistance in the LGU sub-project
implementation.
Promotion of Child-Friendly Local Governance
• 6 of the 8 MDGs are directly related to children
• Partnership among DILG, local governments leagues,
Commission on the Welfare of Children and UNICEF
• Local government units prioritize bringing positive results
for children and building a “Child-Sensitive and Child-
Friendly Society through planning, budgeting, legislation
and delivery of social services; and assures that the
needs and rights of children classified as survival,
development, protection and participation are realized
Strengthening of the Local Council for the
Protection of Children (LCPC)
• The LCPC is responsible in planning and spearheading
programs for children at the local level with the end view of
making the locality child-friendly.
• MC 2002-121: Revised Guidelines on the Organization and
Strengthening of the Local Council for the Protection of
Children
• MC 2008-126: Revised Guidelines in Monitoring the
Functionality of the Local Council for the Protection of
Children, and
• MC 2012-121: Allocation of One Percent (1%) Internal
Revenue Allotment for the Strengthening and Implementation
of the Programs, Projects and Activities of LCPCs.
Community Based Monitoring
System (CBMS)
Purpose: Provides policymakers and program implementers with a regular source of necessary disaggregated data for :
Determining the nature and extent of poverty in multiple dimensions
Formulating appropriate policies and programs
Identifying eligible beneficiaries for targeted programs
Impact -monitoring
Programs
Shocks
The CBMS Methodology
CBMS is designed as an organized process of data
collection, processing, validation, and integration of data
in the local development processes
It generates a core set of indicators that are being
measured to determine the welfare status of the
population. These indicators capture the
multidimensional aspects of poverty.
It uses freeware customized for CBMS-data encoding,
processing and poverty mapping
Key Features of CBMS
Involves a census of households and not a sample survey
Rooted in local government and promotes community participation
Uses local personnel and community volunteers as monitors
Generates a core set of indicators (outcome and impact indicators) on the multidimensional nature of poverty
Establishes databanks at all geopolitical levels
Designed to be conducted regularly thus can generate panel data

Grassroots Participatory Budgeting
Process (GPB)
• Lead: Department of Budget and Management, Department
of Social Welfare and Development, DILG, National
Economic and Development Authority
• Purpose: Ensure the implementation of priority poverty
reduction projects as identified at the city/municipal level
through a participatory planning and budgeting process
• What : An approach to preparing the budget proposal of
agencies, taking into consideration the development needs
of cities/municipalities as identified in their respective local
poverty reduction action plans that shall be formulated with
strong participation of basic sector organizations and other
civil society organizations.

Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino
Program• A human development program of the national
government that invests in the health and education of
poor households, particularly of children aged 0-18 years
old.
• Provides cash grants to beneficiaries provided that they
comply with the set of conditions required by the
program.
• Dual objectives:
– Social Assistance - to provide cash assistance to the poor to
alleviate their immediate need (short term poverty alleviation);
and
– Social Development - to break the intergenerational poverty
cycle through investments in human capital.
Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino
Program• Helps fulfill the country’s commitment to meet the
Millennium Development Goals, namely:
– Eradicate Extreme Poverty and Hunger
– Achieve Universal Primary Education
– Promote Gender Equality
– Reduce Child Mortality
– Improve Maternal Health
• Convergent Agencies: Department of Social Welfare and
Development, Department of Education, Department of
Heath

Localization Lessons for the Post-2015
Development Agenda • Continuing capability building for identifying programs and
projects
• Install a national tracking and monitoring system for attaining the
development agenda
• Explore financing options to fund development programs and
projects in a decentralized setting: internal revenue allotment,
national budget, municipal loans
• Prepare local action plans
• Engage community participation in planning, budgeting and
implementation
• Encourage community-based monitoring system/database:
identify a core set of indicators; expandable to include binding
development constraint (e.g natural disasters) and emerging
concerns (e.g. urbanization)
