Download or read book Fighting Poverty with Facts written by Celia M. Reyes and published by IDRC (International Development Research Centre). This book was released on 2009-01-01 with total page 104 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For more than two decades, governments and development agencies around the world have focused on reducing poverty. There have been advances, but progress has been uneven and nearly a quarter of the worldOCOs population still suffers from extreme OC income poverty.OCO Income poverty, however, is only part of the picture. A multi-faceted account of poverty and human welfare incorporates elements that go beyond income to capture the characteristics of poverty as experienced by the poor themselves. This book presents the Community-Based Monitoring System (CBMS). CBMS recognizes that the poor must be involved in planning public programs that affect their well-being. It further recognizes that, to be effective, development programs must be targeted and informed by relevant, current, accurate disaggregated data. To accomplish this, CBMS brings together communities and local authorities to gather and monitor locally obtained, verifiable information about actual living conditions, and to use this information for planning and policy-making. Drawing from CBMS experience in Africa and Asia, the authors present recommendations for policymakers, donor agencies, and researchers. They also present guidelines for developing and implementing poverty monitoring systems in other regions of the world.

Download or read book Utilizing Factual Information to Combat Poverty written by Dr Alvin Kim and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2023-08-22 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For over twenty years, global governments and developmental organizations have directed their efforts towards diminishing poverty. Progress has been made, yet it remains uneven, with nearly a quarter of the global population still enduring extreme "income poverty." Nonetheless, this form of poverty represents just a fraction of the whole issue. A comprehensive analysis of destitution and human well-being encompasses factors beyond income, aiming to comprehend the dimensions of poverty as perceived by those in need. This book introduces the Community Monitoring System (SSC), which acknowledges the necessity of involving impoverished communities in the design of public initiatives that impact their welfare. Additionally, it acknowledges that successful developmental programs should be guided by pertinent, current, and accurate disaggregated data. To achieve this, the SSC facilitates collaboration between communities and local authorities to gather and oversee credible, locally-sourced data concerning actual living conditions. This data is then utilized in the process of policymaking and program implementation. Drawing upon the SSC's experiences in Africa and Asia, the authors present recommendations aimed at policymakers, donor entities, and researchers. They also outline directives for establishing and executing poverty monitoring systems in different global regions.

Book excerpt: The note features the particularly serious problem of poverty monitoring systems in Sub-Saharan Africa, namely through the case of Ghana, where in 1987, the first Living Standards Measurement Survey (LSMS) was conducted. It notes though, that over the years data collection in Ghana improved substantially, where recent LSMS data for the country, became the centerpiece of Consultative Group meetings, undoubtedly a "good practice" that deserves special mention. Lessons, and trends that facilitated the process address the increased upstream planning in data entry, data cleaning, and data analysis, in addition to capacity building, and training prior to launching surveys. Nonetheless, areas for further improvement still indicate prevailing institutional bottlenecks, and delays in the release of counterpart funds, which are conducive to weak procurement practices, aggravated by the continued, over-reliance on external consultants.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The social sector provides services to a wide range of people throughout the world with the aim of creating social value. While doing good is great, doing it well is even better. These organizations, whether nonprofit, for-profit, or public, increasingly need to demonstrate that their efforts are making a positive impact on the world, especially as competition for funding and other scarce resources increases. This heightened focus on impact is positive: learning whether we are making a difference enhances our ability to address pressing social problems effectively and is critical to wise stewardship of resources. Yet demonstrating efficacy remains a big hurdle for most organizations. The Goldilocks Challenge provides a parsimonious framework for measuring the strategies and impact of social sector organizations. A good data strategy starts first with a sound theory of change that helps organizations decide what elements they should monitor and measure. With a theory of change providing solid underpinning, the Goldilocks framework then puts forward four key principles, the CART principles: Credible data that are high quality and analyzed appropriately, Actionable data will actually influence future decisions; Responsible data create more benefits than costs; and Transportable data build knowledge that can be used in the future and by others. Mary Kay Gugerty and Dean Karlan combine their extensive experience working with nonprofits, for-profits and government with their understanding of measuring effectiveness in this insightful guide to thinking about and implementing evidence-based change. This book is an invaluable asset for nonprofit, social enterprise and government leaders, managers, and funders-including anyone considering making a charitable contribution to a nonprofit-to ensure that these organizations get it "just right" by knowing what data to collect, how to collect it, how it can be analyzed, and drawing implications from the analysis. Everyone who wants to make positive change should focus on the top priority: using data to learn, innovate, and improve program implementation over time. Gugerty and Karlan show how.
