the Community-Based Monitoring System (CBMS) is a technology-based system for collecting, processing, and validating disaggregated data at the local level to support planning, poverty alleviation, and impact monitoring. Established by the CBMS Act (Republic Act No. 11315) in the Philippines, it involves local governments conducting household censuses to generate localized facts and maps on poverty, health, education, and other indicators, empowering communities to participate in the data generation process.
