It was co-organized by the Centre Interuniversitaire sur le Risque, les Politiques Économiques et l’Emploi (CIRPÉE, Université Laval) and the Grupo de Analisis para el Desarollo (GRADE), the local counterpart in Peru. The Network Meeting was made possible with the support from the International Development Research Centre (IDRC), Ottawa, Canada and the Canadian International Development Agency (CIDA). The conference acted as a venue for researchers and various stakeholders from Asia, Africa and Latin America to share recent development in methodologies on poverty analysis as well as to discuss new findings of various research initiatives of the three subnetworks of PEP namely, Modeling and Policy Impact Analysis (MPIA), Poverty Monitoring and Measurement Analysis (PMMA) and the Community-Based Monitoring System (CBMS). For the CBMS sub-network, the meeting served as a way to further promote local monitoring systems such as the CBMS and to advocate its usefulness in scaling up poverty reduction and other development-related initiatives while improving governance in developing countries. The 3-day program for the CBMS conference was divided into 4 sessions and adopted an interactive format enabling invited speakers, discussants, presenters and attendees to exchange ideas and build knowledge together as the conference progressed. The sessions were as follows: Session 1: Scaling up Poverty Reduction Initiatives and Improving Local Governance through CBMS Session 2: Applications of CBMS for Planning and Monitoring Plenary: CBMS Repository, Launching of the AusAID- Funded Policy Impact Evaluation Research Initiative (PIERI), Launching of the PEP Training Schools, Overview of the PEP Phase III Proposal Session 3: Completed Projects and New CBMS Initiatives ix prelims.pmd 9 1/21/2009, 2:41 PM Session 4: New CBMS Proposals Presenters and speakers included both researchers and policymakers from Bangladesh, Benin, Cambodia, Ghana, Indonesia, Kenya, Lao PDR, Peru, the Philippines, Senegal, Sri Lanka, Tanzania, and Vietnam. Presentations focused on the actual uses of the CBMS for national and local planning, program impact assessment, and poverty analysis on localizing recent development initiatives such as the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs). At this point we would like to extend our deepest gratitude to the authors of the various papers presented herein and to everyone who made the publication of this volume possible.
