CBMS Database The CBMS database has been developed and improved to meet stakeholder s, particularly LGU s, needs for information Manual/computerized encoding and processing Database management, indicator generation and (poverty) mapping 8
CBMS Database The CBMS database contains all the information gathered from the data collection. The CBMS database is lodged in the community or local government.

CBMS Network Data Repository Work is on-going for the development and maintenance of the CBMS Network data repository which would store poverty indicators generated from CBMS across countries where CBMS is being implemented. The CBMS Network Database will be made available to researchers, poverty analysts, policymakers and program implementers subject to authorization from partner institutions.
Directions Develop a repository of CBMS data Country (national) level CBMS Network Repository More developed database management Use free softwares and develop open source software Improvement of user friendly interfaces Improve access to CBMS database through IT (internet, knowledge management, mobile phones and PDAs) 24
