The Philippine Millennium Development Goals: Where Are We Now? Presented by: DIRECTOR ERLINDA M. CAPONES Social Development Staff National Economic and Development Authority
Philippine Millennium Development Goals: Are We On Track? • Where are we in terms of achieving the MDGs? • How do we accelerate the attainment of the MDGs? • How do we assess our statistical database system? • How do we improve MDG monitoring?
Population Size: 76.Million (2000) Estimated Population: 88.7 Million (2007) Land area: 300,000 square kilometers Islands: 7,107 Regions: 17
TRACKING METHODOLOGY Ratio of required annual rate of change to reach the target to actual annual rate of change where: Actual Annual Rate of Change = Current – Baseline No. of yrs. from baseline to current year Required Annual Rate of Change = Target – Current No. of yrs. from current year to target year Ratio = Required Annual Rate of Change Actual Annual Rate of Change
How do we assess whether MDG targets will be met?
Rate of Progress: Philippines MDG Targets
Rate of Progress: Philippines MDG Targets
Rate of Progress: Philippines MDG Targets
Rate of Progress: Sub-National MDG Targets Rate of Progress: Sub-National MDG Targets
MEETING THE 2015 CHALLENGE • Addressing wide disparities across regions • Curbing the high population growth rate • Accelerating the implementation of basic education and health reforms
MEETING THE 2015 CHALLENGE • Ensuring strict enforcement of laws pertinent to the achievement of the MDGs • Strengthening the capacity of LGUs to deliver basic services and manage programs and projects • Ensuring transparency and accountability in government transactions
MEETING THE 2015 CHALLENGE • Generating and mobilizing increased resources for MDG-related programs and projects • Strengthening partnership with NGOs, business sector and ODA community
III. How do we assess our statistical database system?
What are the indicators used in monitoring the MDGs?
Available Indicators = 30 Source: NSCB
Not Available = 7 Source: NSCB
Not Applicable = 11 Source: NSCB
What are the problems in tracking the MDG progress? • Infrequent conduct of surveys • Unavailability of data at the sub-national level • Incomparability of data • Need to improve methodology in determining probability of meeting the MDG targets
IV. How do we improve MDG monitoring?
MEETING THE 2015 CHALLENGE • Regular conduct of censuses and surveys • Nationwide adoption of Community- Based Monitoring System (CBMS) • Adoption of small area estimates
MEETING THE 2015 CHALLENGE • Explore possibility of adopting a standard international methodology for determining the probability of meeting the MDG targets • Capacity-building for data generation, analysis, and monitoring
