Community-Based Monitoring System
The Community-Based Monitoring System serves as a tool for identifying geographic areas where the incidence of poverty is most evident so that national and local governments, NGOs and civil society stakeholders, and overseas donors can redirect much needed resources. The data collection at community levels yields vital information on the causes of poverty and allows policy-makers, planners, development workers, and diaspora philanthropists to tailor-fit project interventions for alleviating if not eradicating these altogether.
