  1. Localizing and accelerating progress in Cambodia MDGs:Update May 2012

  2. Localizing CMDGs: priority and rationale • Mixed progress in MDGs. National MDG statistics conceal drastic disparities between communes, districts, provinces. • Local planning, prioritization and budgeting require local information and simple tools. • Local data (Commune Database) exist. Scorecards mainstreamed in sub-national guidelines. Part of UNDAF Outcome 4 on making national and sub-national institutions more accountable and responsive to the needs and rights of all people living in Cambodia and increasing participation in democratic decision-making

  3. Support to localizing CMDGs: What would it help to achieve? Focus on local-level action with national support Influence national and regional policies to reduce disparities Enable comparisons of MDG performance Use simple tools to understand data and inform planning and budgeting decisions Identify communes/districts that need more support: better targeting and priority-setting Provide basis for dialogue with citizens and social accountability Monitor progress and gauge CMDG acceleration efforts Use existing data generation systems and improve them further Build on piloted and mainstreamed instruments (scorecards), and enrich / expand their use Rely on existent local governance structures and on-going decentralization reform process

  4. Expected Results: CDB-based MDG scorecards and other products in support of sub-national planning are generated by provincial planners Sub-national authorities are able to use scorecards and other tools in planning, prioritization & budgeting MDG performance of sub-national entities is monitored, assessed annually and informs comparative analysis and dialogue with citizens Experiences from localizing MDG and use of tools are documented and shared in-country, regionally and internationally

  5. PARTNERSHIPS UNICEF, UNFPA, UNDP • Ministry of Planning • National Committee on Decentralization and Deconcentration, Ministry of Interior • Provincial Governors and Administrations • District Administrations and Planning Officers • Commune Councils • Commune Committees on Children and Women • Commune Committees on Socio-Economic Development

  6. Resources required (2012-2015)

  7. Progress since December 2011 2011 CDB data collection—December Revised sub-national CMDG scorecards : additional indicators for MDG 3 on Gender, MDG 6 and new indicators for MDG 9—April-May 2012 Prepared capacity development plan—May 2012 Trained 84 MoP staff in error detection, generation, and use of scorecards and training design—May 2012 Ratanakiri Knowledge product on use of MDG scorecards in sub-national planning—in development Data cleaning at provincial level—on going Generating sector scorecards and other products—on going

  8. Way forward - Product development: Clean and verify CDB with other data sources Finalize new scorecards, sector scorecards, and other products Dialogue with line ministries to verify the validity of products and determine potential use of these products - Training and utilisation: Build capacity of provincial planning officers to prepare and deliver training on scorecards Replicate training using IP3 funding and Process Collaborate with UNICEF and UNFPA on the use of scorecards in sub-national planning Conduct demonstration of actual use of scorecards in real planning processes in selected provinces Monitor actual use and impact of using scorecards on sub-national planning and budgeting

  9. Way forward • Training and utilisation (cont’d): • Develop and implement communication and advocacy plan with stakeholders • National Conference to promote use of CMDG scorecards (share experience by central ministries, multi-stakeholder involvement, results from test-runs) • Prepare instructive knowledge products & materials on using scorecards in sub-national planning and facilitate its use

  10. Key issues and challenges: Lack of significant discretionary funding at sub-national level to apply instruments in full Data quality: inaccuracy of the data due to new questionnaire, and usage of unused data Technical problems: boundary, coding and mapping Integration in sub-national planning process (provincial pilots an opportunity) Resources to support implementation (human and financial)
