SECTION 5:

CCA Indicator Framework

The Millennium Declaration, the series of UN global conferences and summit, and UN conventions and treaties, established a number of interconnected goals and targets for reduc-

ing poverty and advocating rights. The CCA Indicator Framework is a collection of develop-ment indicators, compiled to measure progress at the country level.

Key methodological limitations were described in Chapter One. In addition to disaggrega-tion (by gender, age, region, vulnerable group) reliability, and timeliness issues, over the com-ing years, more needs to be done to expand on right-based development indicators, particularlyas regards to identifying specific actors or institutions - that is duty bearers -who are respon-sible for performance. Where available, indicators that measure public confidence in duty-bearers and redress for the poor and marginalization, have been included.

For ease of reference, the CCA Indicator Framework is divided into three major sections,within which are contained thematic indices:

A. Millennium Development Goal indicators: intended to provide baseline data to monitor thecountry’s progress toward the MDGs. To the extent possible, baseline data (for 1990) has beenincluded, or nearest data to that date, as well as current data.

B. Contextual Indicators: broad national indicators relating to demographics and the economyhave been included for reference and monitoring.

C. Recognising that progress on specific targets depends on improvements in a range ofareas, the Other Development Indicator section seeks to supplement the first two sets of indi-cators. These include:

1. Thematic Indicators2. UN Conference Indicators

Regional and Provincial data on key CCA indicators are also included in this document.

It is expected that these indicators will be enhanced and expanded upon in advance of thenext CCA, scheduled for 2009.

1 Old methodology is based on regional menus. The estimated annual per capita poverty threshold in 2000 was Php13,823. Poverty data computed using the oldmethodology are with regional breakdown only.

2 New methodology is based on provincial food expenditure over total basic expenditure and regional menus using provincial prices. The estimated annual per capitapoverty threshold for the new methodology in 2000 was Php11,605. Poverty data computed using the new methodology had both the regional and provincialdisaggregation.

3 Subsistence means family income needed to satisfy the family food requirements in 2000 and estimated at national average of Php45,915 per annum for a family offive using the old methodology and Php39,145 using the new methodology.

4 Poverty Gap Ratio is defined as the income short fall (expressed in proportion to the poverty line) of families with income below the poverty threshold, divided bythe total number of families. This value could be thought of as the amount relative to the poverty line that has to be transferred to the poor families to bring theirincomes up to the poverty threshold. (1997 Philippine Poverty Statistics, NSCB).
