  1. Adoption of CBMSand other LGU-Based Monitoring Tools and System as the Source of Data in the Identification of Indigent Families to be Enrolled in the Sponsored Program of the NHIP

  2. Means Test Per RA 7875 “A protocol administered at the barangay level to determine the ability of individuals or households to pay varying levels of contributions to the Program, ranging from the indigent in the community whose contributions should be totally subsidized by government, to those who can afford to subsidize part but not all the required contributions for the Program.”

  3. Means Test Protocol Adopted • Health and Management Information System (HAMIS) developed w/ the assistance of GTZ - Survey was conducted by a private organization - Delayed release of results - Expensive

  4. Means Test Protocol Adopted • Community Based Information System – • Minimum Basic Needs Approach (CBIS- • MBN) using the Family Data Survey Form • (FDSF) to provide the profile of the • members of the family to be enrolled under the Sponsored Program

  5. Issues on Current Methodology • Household eligibility mainly based on income • Exclusion Problem - Poor families in “non-poor” barangays are excluded from the program • Leakage problem - Benefits leaking to non-poor or non-eligible persons or households since income data can be manipulated • Sustainability of enumeration cost • Validated/Updated Annually

  6. Why use CBMS? • There are 14 core indicators that are being measured • to determine the welfare status of the population. • These indicators capture the multidimensional • aspects of poverty namely health, nutrition, shelter, • water and sanitation, education, income, • employment, and peace and order.

  7. Why use CBMS? • It involves the complete enumeration of all • households hence would provide proper • segmentation of the lgu population as to eligibility • to the various NHIP membership programs • Would provide basis to equitably distribute the national government subsidy among the LGUs

  8. Why use CBMS? • LGUs take the lead in the data collection and processing, serve as the repository of the database and use the data in the formulation of annual development and investment plans. • It uses a mapping software (NRDB) to generate CBMS-based poverty mapping and for storing and displaying household - and individual - level information thereby putting faces unto the statistics.

  9. Basis for Adoption

  10. Memorandum Circulars & Policy Issuances Supporting the Use of CBMS • NAPC En Banc Resolution No. 7 • issued in March 2003 • Directing LGUs to adopt the 13 core local poverty indicators as the minimum set of community-based information for poverty diagnosis and planning at the local level • DILG Memorandum Circular 2003-92 • issued in April 2003 • Setting policy guidelines for the adoption of the 13 core local poverty indicators for planning

  11. Memorandum Circulars & Policy Issuances Supporting the Use of CBMS • DILG Memorandum Circular 2004-152 • issued in November 2004 • Encouraging LGUs to intensify efforts towards the achievement of the millennium development goals (MDGs)

  12. Memorandum Circulars & Policy Issuances Supporting the Use of CBMS • NSCB Resolution No.6, Series of 2005 • Recognizes and enjoins support to the CBMS as a tool to strengthen the statistical system at the local level. • Directs the NSCB Technical Staff to initiate and coordinate an advocacy program for the adoption of the CBMS by the LGUs, through the RSCCs, the technical arm of the NSCB Executive Board in the regions.

  13. Memorandum Circulars & Policy Issuances Supporting the Use of CBMS • Social Development Committee Resolution No.3, Series of 2006 • issued in July 2006 • Adopting the Community Based Monitoring System as the prescribed monitoring tool for the generation of the core local poverty indicator database

  14. Memorandum Circulars & Policy Issuances Supporting the Use of CBMS • Philhealth Board Resolution No. 982, s. 2007 • issued on February 2007 • Adopting the Community Based Monitoring System and other LGU-based poverty monitoring tools and system as the source of data in identifying the indigent families for enrollment to the Sponsored Program

  15. NHIP Implementation in CBMS Areas • 19 out of 29 provinces are implementing CBMS with NHIP enrollment • The 19 provinces are: Ilocos Sur, Bulacan, Bataan, Palawan, Marinduque, Romblon, Camarines Norte, Masbate, Siquijor, Eastern Samar, Biliran, Leyte, Southern Leyte, Northern Samar, Zamboanga del Sur, Camiguin, Bukidnon, Agusan del Sur and Agusan del Norte

  16. Next Steps • Finalize Guidelines • Soft Implementation in 2008 starting with LGUs implementing the CBMS • Full implementation in 2009-2010
