THE 3rd ANNUAL CONFERENCE OF PEP NETWORK Dakar (Senegal) - June 2004 _____________________________________________ Can CBPM become a national system ? Vu Tuan Anh Socio-Economic Development Centre Hanoi, Vietnam
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
Disadvantages of existing PMSs • 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.
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?
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 (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.
