  6. The Concept of Citizens as Monitors
  7. The post-Martial Law period has opened opportunities for citizen participation in governance, and project conceptualization and planning to implementation and monitoring Because of these opportunities, capability building and development activities have been strengthened either through inter-civil society organization (CSO) or basic sector organization (BSO) cooperation, or through government-CSO/BSO cooperation “NGOs training BSOs and people’s organizations” Office of the Ombudsman training and accrediting CSOs as corruption prevention units; NAPC providing capability development trainings to BSOs on project monitoring
  8. The practice of citizen-led monitoring in the Philippines has been found effective in the implementation of public works projects, delivery of basic services, and the budgeting process. Citizen-led monitoring ensured that the projects are implemented properly or the services are received by the target recipients Empowered the citizens to become active partners in governance.
  9. NAPC’s current projects involving citizens as monitors: Citizen-led monitoring project for bottom-up budgeting – local poverty reduction action planning (BUB-LPRAP) Rapid Community-Based Monitoring System (Rapid CBMS) Other government projects through the basic sector council members
