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



• 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



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)



Sources of subnational MDG indicators1. Census of Population and Housing

(population, solid fuels, secure tenure)

2. 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



3. 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)

Sources of subnational MDGs indicators

V. Issues and Problems on Monitoring of Subnational MDGs

1. Subnational MDG statisticsa. Non-availability of subnational datab. Budgetary constraints in survey designc. Low appreciation of local government units

on statistics – investing in statistical activities to support monitoring of MDGs

2. Progress in the attainment of the MDGsa. Low awareness of MDGs and its relevance

to local policy making and formulation of programs

b. Lack of standard/regular monitoring system of the MDGs
