Press Release |
Lesotho Council of NGOs has organised a week’s long workshop on
Community Based Monitoring Systems starting on 12th-16th March, 2007
at Hotel Mount Maluti in Mohale’s Hoek.
The objective of this workshop is to train NGOs on Community Based
Monitoring Systems (CBMS). This is a system in which communities are
active participants in monitoring their welfare and development
situations in a manner that is often essential for the design,
implementation and monitoring of poverty reduction strategies and
programs. Because it involves the participation of the communities,
it is a low-cost and easy-to-sustain system. The information
intended for village development planning are fed to district levels
for budget and other related Development programs decision-making.
Over time, policymakers at all geopolitical levels are expected to
monitor the impacts of programs, and determine whether conditions
are improving, getting worse, or have remained the same.
There are 30 NGOs that will be trained. Other Participants come from
Bureau of Statistics.
