Has been developed under the project of NGOs
in order to serve their own goal and purposes.
Lessons learned are following:




One-shot project report
Donor driven
Collected information was not well shared and used
No clear inter-linkage of M&E system at local level
framework
 No clear understanding what the key data needs
 No clear reporting system
 No clear methodology and standards

Base on Seila experiences in commune database
Observing on CBMS in Cambodia:
 Village census and use scientific methods
 The CBMS generate and validates the information needed for
focused targeting
 Indicate family situation the community and encourage them to
initiate corresponding action to alleviate their condition
 It ensues that the information needed in the situational analysis,
planning implementation, and monitoring and evaluation are
reliable, accurate relevant and timely.
 To promote sharing information among various sectors in the
commune, higher level of government and the private NGO and
business sector to reach common targets and address priority
problems in the community

Conclusion Statement
Learning from Seila and CBMS’ experiences,
creating the CDIS or adopt CBMS as nationwide
CBMS and become an official database in Cambodia
now is very appropriate and needed for the currently
commune councils to have better knowledge and
accurate information for a good local development
planning in each locality.
It is, therefore, the government of Cambodia,
international donors, and other related agencies must
take into account the importance of the database
system that can be developed and used for the sake
of achieving development goal of communes,
districts, provinces/municipalities, and national
development.
