Encarnacion Director, National Statistical Information Center Chief, Social Sectors B Division National Statistical Coordination Board National Statistical Coordination Board Workshop on MDG Monitoring 14-16 January 2009, Bangkok, Thailand
Outline of Presentation • Introduction • Localization of MDGs • Assessment of Subnational MDG Indicators • Status of Progress of MDGs at the Subnational Level • Issues and Problems on Monitoring of Subnational MDGs
I. Introduction About the Philippine Statistical System and the National Statistical Coordination Board • Decentralized statistical system • The National Statistical Coordination Board (NSCB) as the highest policy-making and coordinating body on statistical matters in the country
I. Introduction Roles of NSCB in monitoring the MDGS • As the repository of MDG Indicators • Statistical coordination mechanisms that support generation and dissemination of MDG indicators • Dissemination of MDG indicators (e.g., MDGWatch, Compendium of Philippine MDG Indicators, Philippine MDG Country website – http://www.nscb.gov.ph/mdg) • Provision of technical assistance
I. Introduction Dissemination of MDG indicatorsMDG Watch (National and Regional)
I. Introduction Dissemination of MDG indicators Compendium of Philippine MDG Indicators
I. Introduction Dissemination of MDG indicators Philippine MDG Country website – http://www.nscb.gov.ph/mdg
II. Localization of MDGs Localization of the MDGs • Localization of MDG indicators through the NSCB Regional Divisions • Policies to localize the MDGs (at least five) • Mandates of local government units on MDGs (at least two) • Development of an MDG Localization Framework
II. Localization of MDGs Strategies to Localize the MDGs • Small area estimation techniques • Prioritize MDG-responsive Project, Plans and Actions – LGU options to address the MDGs • Institutionalize an MDG Benchmarking/ Poverty Diagnostic System • Monitoring and evaluation system: Tracking LGU Responsiveness to the MDGs • Harmonization of Local Planning and Budgeting • Documentation and Replication of MDG -responsive award-winning innovations – Good Practices in Local Governance: Facility for Adaptation and Replication (GO-FAR)
III. Assessment of Subnational MDG Indicators Sources of subnational MDG indicators • Census of Population and Housing(population, solid fuels, secure tenure) • Surveys • Labor Force Survey(employment) • National Demographic and Health Survey(mortality, contraceptives) • National Nutrition Survey(malnutrition, energy consumption) • Functional Literacy, Education and Mass Media Survey(literacy)
III. Assessment of Subnational MDG Indicators Sources of subnational MDGs indicators • Administrative Data Systems • Basic Education Information System(net enrolment ratio, cohort survival rate, completion rate) • Field Health Service Information System(prevalence of diseases, immunization, DOTS, skilled health personnel) • Other admin data systems(forest cover, protected areas, CFCs)
III. Assessment of Subnational MDG Indicators Assessment of Data Availability (as of September 2008)
IV. Status of Progress of MDGs at the Subnational Level Probability of attaining the target by goal: Regional Level(as of September 2008)
IV. Status of Progress of MDGs at the Subnational Level Probability of attaining the target by goal: Regional Level(as of September 2008) Low: Pace of Progress is less than 0.5 Medium: Pace of Progress between 0.5 and 0.9 High: Pace of Progress is greater than 0.9
V. Issues and Problems on Monitoring of Subnational MDGs • Subnational MDG statistics • Non-availability of subnational data • Budgetary constraints in survey design • Low appreciation of local government units on statistics – investing in statistical activities to support monitoring of MDGs • 2. Progress in the attainment of the MDGs • Low awareness of MDGs and its relevance to local policy making and formulation of programs • Lack of standard/regular monitoring system of the MDGs
