Paper Summary

The study looked at how a system called CBMS is used in making local development plans. They found that most municipalities use CBMS for planning and budgeting. However, there is room for improvement in how the data is used. Municipalities need to update their development indicators regularly for better policies. Overall, using CBMS can help local governments make better decisions with limited resources.
