monitoring initiatives applied in the Philippines by
Social Watch Philippines
To be able to reflect on national monitoring in the
different countries and identify the gaps (the weak
areas) and possible intervention of CSO
To Exchange/Present ideas for possible
coordinated piloting of local monitoring in the
participating countries
What is SWP doing in monitoring
1. Social Watch monitoring system
(with the five modules)
2. Quality of life monitoring
3. Tracking the MDGs at different levels
4. MDG local monitoring system
The SWP Local
Monitoring System
Social Watch Local Monitoring System
OBJECTIVES
LOCALIZING the “MDG Plus”
1. To establish benchmarks for tracking
accomplishments in key development indicators
2. To assess the operationalization of the Millennium
Development Goals and Targets and other
international commitments at the level of provinces
and municipalities
3. To strengthen advocacy for adopting the “MDG
Plus” as framework for local development planning
and fiscal management
Social Watch Local Monitoring System
Content of the “MDG Plus”
Module 1: SWP Monitoring Template of Key Social
Indicators
Module 2: Assessment of Special Concerns
(Thru Quantitative and Case Analysis)
Module 3: Quality of Life Index - Trends
Module 4: Review of Development Plan
Module 5: Analysis of Budget/Expenditure Program

C. Quality of Life Index (QLI)
Three component indicators used to generate QLI:
1.
Under-Five Nutrition
2. Attended Births
3.
Elementary Cohort Survival Rate
QLI is used for local poverty and capability mapping
D. Review of Local Development Plan
Clarity of framework and strategies
Use of indicators as planning guide; clear targets
Comprehensiveness of situation analysis
Poverty reduction strategy; identification of vulnerable sectors
Inclusion of MDG and WSSD commitments; Gender content
E. Analysis of Budget/Expenditure Program
Analysis of sectoral allocation
Assessment of investment plan, budget and actual expenditure in terms of
responsiveness to MDG and WSSD concerns.

Gender Equity Index
Social Watch use of composite index to
measure overall poverty and well-being
Quality of Life Index


It is a derivative of the pure capability-based measure as
proposed and popularized by Amartya Sen.

It complements HDI and Income-based poverty measures


2) Capability for healthy and safe reproduction

QLI was adopted by Social Watch International with a
slight modification of the Component Indicators
1) Under-five child mortality
2) Births attended by trained health personnel
3) Cohort Survival to Grade 5
Applied Globally and found to be applicable for
significant number of countries and highly
correlated to HDI, Food Security, overall
Health and Educational Attainment.

Monitoring Workshop
Guide Questions
1. What monitoring initiatives have your
group/s undertaken? (Share monitoring
experiences)
2. What is the existing monitoring system of
the government? What are its strong and
weak points? What are the gaps?
Monitoring Workshop
Guide Questions
3. How do we design our own monitoring system--
1. Select the indicators which you think are
relevant, applicable and practical
2. Given the current programs and concerns of
your organization, what monitoring initiatives
could be put/set in place at the local/national
or even provincial level
3. What are the capacities and skills needed to
implement this monitoring initiative
