GeRLGeRL andand CBMSCBMS-- GRBGRB Indicators:Indicators: SimilaritiesSimilarities andand relationshipsrelationships Overview • Introduction • Background on the two indicators – GeRL – CBMS-LLGRB • What are their similarities? • Summing it up Introduction • This presentation mainly looks at the similarities and relationships between the CBMS-GRB Tool and the GeRL Ka Ba?

It would be likewise be useful in helping the LGUs develop effective GAD Plans The “GeRL Ka Ba?” Tool Objectives of the GeRL Tool(based on the GeRL Brief): 9 Provide baseline data on the current capacities and practices of LGUs to mainstream GAD; 9 To prioritize the LGU capacity aspects that need to be further developed among LGUs based on the results of the assessment; 9 To identify LGUs who could serve as role models for gender-responsive local governance; and 9 To outline and recommend strategies that could be adopted to facilitate mainstreaming of GAD 9 Results of which would be vital in determining the status of GAD mainstreaming activities in their localities. It would be likewise be useful in helping the LGUs develop effective GAD Plans The “GeRL Ka Ba?” Tool: Its parts The GeRL Tool essentially has three parts: 1. Basic Information Name of LGU, Address, Type, Class, Etc.

These LGUs were chosen using to a simple random sampling.

Province Total 15 58 What ARE the CBMS-GRB Instruments? • The CBMS GRB instruments were developed to collect information for the CBMS-GRB project. This project aims to pilot a gender responsive CBMS that will strengthen gender responsive and mainstream budgeting activities of local governments. • It is currently being piloted in 2 LGUs in Negros Occidental: Escalante City and EB Magalona • The standard CBMS methodology and instruments were enhanced to enable it to provide or facilitate more gender relevant information aside from the other LGU specific information identified during preparatory meeting with the partner LGUs. What ARE the CBMS-GRB Instruments? • Data collection using is done through a census of all households in all barangays (villages) in a municipality/city or a province • Data is collected with the use of three instruments: – 126-item Household profile questionnaire (CBMS-GRB HPQ) – 7- page Barangay profile questionnaire (CBMS –GRB BPQ). – CBMS-GRB Rider Questionnaire (a single sheet questionnaire administered to select barangays in the partner LGUs) CBMS-GRB HPQ1: The household profile questionnaire ÙBasic census form used to gather all household and individual based indicators ÙFocuses on obtaining information on the CBMS core indicators (14 indicators) ÙIncludes LGU specific indicators as well as gender relevant indicators CBMS-GRB Barangay Profile Questionnaire (BPQ ) • Questionnaire that is designed to gather supplementary information to the CBMS-GRB HPQ • It collects information on the following: 9 Characteristics of the population and survey site 9 Availability/ accessibility of services 9 Existing programs and social services of the barangay 9 Reported crimes in the area 9 Willingness of the barangay to acquire land for resettlement 9 GAD Planning and budgeting in the barangay 9 Inventory of equipment of the barangay CBMS-GRB Rider Questionnaire • This questionnaire is linked to the main questionnaire and is administered to select barangays • It is a 13 item questionnaire that aims to collect information on: ¾ Livelihood skills ¾ Primary caregivers in the household ¾ School attendance ¾ Household Roles and ownership of assets CBMS-GRB Instruments • Overall, these instruments were developed to provide policy makers with a better picture of the prevailing conditions of their localities. It provides indicators that look into 5 aspects of well being: being educated, being healthy, being empowered, being protected/ taken cared of and having access to assistance • These indicators of well being can also be considered vital from a gender perspective Comparing the GeRL and CBMS-GRB Indicators Comparing both Indicators: similarities and relationships 9Both are administered at the local level 9Both aim to improve gender responsiveness of both LGUs 9Both try to influence local level decision making Comparing both Indicators: similarities and relationships • It is thus interesting to look at how these two tools share similarities as there may be ways for one tool to complement another.
