I. Project Abstract

Under MIMAP-Bangladesh, the Poverty Monitoring System developed and pilot-tested the methodology and indicators for a Local Level Poverty Monitoring System. The experimentation was carried out by the Bangladesh Academy for Rural Development (BARD) in consultation with the Bangladesh Institute of Development Studies (BIDS) in the year of 2001-2002. The pilot testing was kept limited in four villages of Sreepur Union of Choudagram Upazila to acquire the required insights prior to its wider replication. With the successful outcomes of the pilot phase, the experimental phase is expanded in a Union named Muhammadpur (West) under Daudkandi Upazila covering all villages to examine its effectiveness at the Ward and Union levels. It is expected that an operational LLPMS at the Union level will play a complementary role with the national initiatives of poverty monitoring in providing both poverty and development related information and policy guidelines.

II. Project objectives

The general objective of the project is to create a community based poverty-monitoring system at the local level in Bangladesh and ensure active participation of and effective use of relevant information by the local government functionaries.

The specific objectives are as follows:

i) Implement the methodology and the indicators of the LLPMS, tested under MIMAP-Bangladesh, on a regular basis at the local level; ii) Create a data base of the local level poverty and development indicators and a mechanism for regular updating of the data base by the users themselves; and iii) Motivate and assist th e local government functionaries to use the Information in initiating local level plans and develop sustainable linkages with the government organisations, NGOs and the development partners for implementing the plan.
