DILG supports CBMS

1. CBMS essential to Open Government

2. CBMS provides info for BUB analytics

3. CBMS helps LGUs in poverty reduction, resilience-building and economic growth

CBMS supports DILG’s work

1. LGUs have better ‘handles’ for evidence-based good local governance: planning-programming-budgeting-M&E

2. LGUs have info to improve performance: baseline vs movement

3. Province has strategic levers for overseeing component LGUs (based on CBMS info)

4. ‘Healthy partnerships’ between LGU and community (and civil society) forged based on shared understanding of local context (from CBMS info)

Our way forward

1. LGUs: invest in CBMS to have better opportunities current and future programs of NG

2. Province: push for province-wide CBMS

3. CSO: demand LGUs to invest in CBMS and use the analytics to better engage at the local level

4. DILG and CBMS Network: deepen CBMS to support programs (BUB) and global commitments (SDGs)
