Lessons learned from work with localities • Promoting interest and initiatives of local partners: departing from existing PMS, adding CBMS components. • Partnership: + local partners are facilitators and surveyors. + project members are trainers and supervisors. •   Local ownership: local partners are owners and users of outputs. Project assistance is only for departing period.

  15. Short-term benefits of localities from CBMS • Getting more relevant data for poverty assessment. • Understanding multi-dimensional poverty. • Monitoring implementation of poverty reduction programs and measures. • Having a comprehensive data on living standards in locality.
