New Publication: in_focus: FIGHTING POVERTY WITH FACTS - Community-Based Monitoring Systems
by Celia Reyes and Evan Due.  Visit the website: www.idrc.ca/in_focus_poverty
This book presents the Community-Based Monitoring System (CBMS). CBMS recognizes that the poor must be involved in planning public programs that affect their well-being. It further recognizes that, to be effective, development programs must be targeted and informed by relevant, current, accurate disaggregated data. To accomplish this, CBMS brings together communities and local authorities to gather and monitor locally obtained, verifiable information about actual living conditions, and to use this information for planning and policy-making.
