Abstract
The community-based monitoring system (CBMS) initiative in the Philippines attempted to show how CBMS can facilitate gender responsive budgeting (GRB) at the local level. The CBMS tool fills in gaps in the data on different dimensions of poverty provided by national surveys and censuses, and in particular, gaps related to disaggregation and frequency. The enhanced CBMS derived from this project will be used to formulate plans and budgets and to analyze the impact of expenditures in the Philippines. The online resource www.gender-budgets.org offers highlights of key gender budgeting initiatives in several countries and identifies notable analyses and resources on GRB.
