SOURCES OF DATA:

Community-Based Monitoring System (CBMS)• 14 Core Local Indicators that measures

different dimension of poverty• Generate household level data useful in

poverty diagnosis & planning• Provides profile of the poor families &

communities Who they are What their needs are Where they are

SOURCES OF DATA: Local Governance Performance

Management System (LGPMS)• is a self-assessment tool, help LGU manage

its performance• web-based database system• provides both qualitative and quantitative

information for two core indicator clusters: Governance Indicators Cluster (collected and

reported annually) Development Indicators Cluster (collected and

reported every three years)

SOURCES OF DATA: Governance Indicators Cluster (5

performance areas):• Administrative Governance, • Social Governance, • Economic Governance, • Environmental Governance, and• Valuing Fundamentals of Good Governance

Development Indicators Cluster (3 sectors)• Social Development• Economic Development • Environmental Development

SOURCES OF DATA: National Household Targeting Systems for

Poverty Reduction (NHTS-PR)• Data management system that identifies who &

where the poor are?• Adopted by DSWD using the Proxy Means Test

(PMT) in the identification of 4Ps beneficiaries• 34 variables i.e. Household composition,

education of household members, employment, housing structures, ownership of assets, etc..

SOURCES OF DATA: Field Health Services Information System

(FHSIS):• Is a major component network of information

developed by DOH, to better manage delivery of nationwide health service delivery activities• Health Status Statistics (estimated population,

mortality, natality)• Health Services Coverage Statistics (control of

diarrheal diseases and pneumonia, dental health, environmental health, expanded program on immunization, family planning, nutrition, pre-natal and post-partum care)

• Health Systems Statistics (demographic profile, health workers)

• Notifiable Diseases

SOURCES OF DATA: Other DSWD data sources:• Participatory Situation Analysis (PSA) Results for

Kapit-Bisig Laban sa Kahirapan- Comprehensive & Integrated Delivery of Social Services (KALAHI-CIDSS)• Project Information Management System (PIMS)

database to keep track of the progress of all antipoverty projects in the country

the system can also be used for map production, geo-tagging and spatial analysis

There are competing needs for resources to be allocated to address these various demands (pare-parehong nangangailangan)

Level of needs and demands vary across sectors, across areas (Antas ng pangangailangan ay hindi pare-pareho sa ibat-ibang lugar at ibat-ibang sector)

Resources are never enough!

There are existing mandates and priorities of government that need to be considered (mayroong nakatakdang mandato at prioridad ang pamahalaan na dapat isaalang-alang)

Provision of Basic Social Services and Attainment of the Millennium Development Goals, including poverty reduction; (MDG, poverty reduction)

Hunger Mitigation and Elimination; (Lubusang lunasan ang kawalan ng makain at gutom)

Job Generation and Inclusive Local Economic Development (pagkakaroon ng trabaho at pang-ekonomiyang kagalingan)

Climate Change Adaptation/Mitigation and Disaster Preparedness (kahandaan sa sakuna at pagbabago sa klima)

Relevance: Do the issues and concerns relate to addressing the poverty situation in the locality? Will the proposed programs/ projects directly contribute to increasing income of the poor and to other poverty indicators? Will the solution focus on the target clients/ constituents that needed the service most?

Urgency: Are the problems the most urgent/ first-things-first, that when not responded to immediately will bring detrimental implications to the environment and the people or the community at large?

Magnitude: Do the problems involve majority of the people and their concerns?

Importance: Are the issues and concerns the most critical that would make a lot of difference when given solution?

Doability: Are the issues and problems realistically solvable by the people.

CORE PROBLEM

IMMEDIATE EFFECT/S

IMMEDIATE CAUSE/S

SECONDARY CAUSE/S

Income of small farming households fall below poverty threshold (average of

PhP2500-3000/month vs. poverty threshold of PhP6195/family requirement for basic needs)

High cost of production as fertilizer requirement and prices of inputs increase

Low farm yield

Soil is depleted

Small farmers are very dependent on a capital-intensive, inefficient (high cost- low yield/income) and environmentally harmful sugar-based monoculture

Poor nutrition

Child labor

Increased pressure to clear forests

Increased pressure to further intensify farming further harming agri ecology

Limited capacity of farmers to adapt sustainable agricultural techniques

Farmers are unable to put up alternative/ non-land sources of income

Inadequate farming facilities for

diversification

Weak support system forfarmers

Inadequate production capital

Inadequate capital and skill for alternative livelihood

Limited knowledge on sustainable

technologies

Weak LGU system for agricultural services delivery

Limited capacity of farmers’ organizations

Inadequate agricultural extension services

Farmers do not have access to water for irrigation

Reversing the problem tree, by replacing negative statements with positive ones, creates a solution tree. A solution tree identifies means-end relationships as opposed to cause-effects.

Income of small farming households to increase

Low cost of production as fertilizer requirement and prices of inputs increase

High farm yield

Soil is enriched

Small farmers are not dependent on a capital-intensive, inefficient (high cost- low yield/income) and environmentally harmful sugar-based monoculture

Adequate nutrition
