 Foreword

F or more than two years, the Inclusive

Data Management System project has
been promoting inclusion of persons with
disabilities in planning, budgeting, and other
development processes of local government
and agencies in disaster risk reduction and
management. This is CDP’s contribution to
mainstreaming disability-inclusion and making
disability visible. We all know that this journey
is not easy. It is also not too difficult if the
stakeholders and actors in this important agenda
concern have determination and conviction.
It is our duty as a nation to promote inclusion and
break down the barriers that remain – in hearts,
in minds, in habits and in policies. Inclusion of
people with disabilities cannot and should not be
an afterthought. It demands intentionality. From
invisibility, the path forward is mainstreaming;
and in mainstreaming disability inclusion, the
critical factor and most important is data collection
and systematization into a system. This is the
very reason for this project. And we will learn from
the experience on this inclusive data management
system.
As stakeholders in disability inclusion, it spells the
difference if we continue to foster a culture where
individuals are supported and accepted for who
they are, without fear of discrimination based on
disability.

IDMS GUIDEBOOK v
 The common notion when conversing and
tackling about disability inclusion is the lack
of disability data and this is attributed to the
failure of development actors to proactively
plan for inclusion of people with disabilities
in their programming. But this is an incorrect
assumption. There is now a growing amount of
disability data available. However, disability is an
extremely complex phenomenon, with disability
definitions vary across contexts including
variations in methodologies to measure it. As
such, it is not comprehensive, often low quality
and lacks comparability. To date, the need for
comprehensive, high quality disability data is
an urgent priority that could bring together a
good number of disability actors with concerted
response.
Claiming disability and being visible about it
challenges what we all think of, when disability
comes to our mind. It is important that we
understand: disability visibility matters.
Why does it matter?
1. Being visible, adds to the much-needed
representation.
For persons with disabilities, some of them
understood that being disabled persons, they
have limits that are different from their abled
peers, and that is part of their reality.
By coming out as disabled persons, they
are making disability as part of who they are
and offering themselves as a member of the
persons with disabilities community. They are
claiming that they want safe spaces for their
community, and they can serve as resource of
their community.
vi IDMS GUIDEBOOK
2. Being visible makes it safer for others to
be visible as well.
Disability is far more nuanced and complicated
than many people may think. Their
experiences differ and not identical in any way.
As being visible matters, the more visibility
makes it safer for other disabled persons
to become visible. As was shared by one
person with disability – she felt safer because
she could form a sense of community and
belonging around being disabled.
3. It makes disability a political and personal
identity to be proud of.
Let us remember that our identities shape us,
and disability, on the other hand, is something
to be proud of and embrace as an identity.
4. Lastly, it challenges what people expect
when they think of disability.
Even for some of those who have been
disabled their entire life did not use a word to
describe themselves. Claiming disability and
being visible about it, challenges what we all
think of when we think of disability.
In the words of one person with disability: ‘If
my visibility offers just one person a new point
of view on the disabled experience, whether
they’re learning something new or seeing
themselves reflected for the first time, then,
my efforts have been worth it.’
We all need to help with disability visibility and
evidence-based data on people with disabilities
at the national and global levels is very important,
to identify the challenges they face. Through this,
policy-makers can be supported to address gaps
and amend policies and regulations to ensure
disability inclusion and mainstreaming.
Ultimately, the very core message of the disability
data issue is the fact that persons with disabilities
are being left behind across key indicators in the
majority of countries. Persons with disabilities
are central to achieving the global community’s
commitment to ‘leave no one behind’, along
with policy-makers, fellow civil society
organizations and together, need to ensure that
disability inclusion is at the forefront of policy
implementation and program with disaggregation
of data by disability as essential tool to monitor
and evaluate change.
Let’s all promote disability visibility relentlessly
so that we can achieve ‘no one is left behind’.
Padayon and mabuhay!

IDMS GUIDEBOOK vii

 Overview of the IDMS
“W
ithout accurate data, the sector
cannot be recognized, counted,
and accounted for.”
Collecting accurate data of persons with
disabilities is an important step towards more
inclusive projects and programs especially in
local government units. Undertaking steps for
the sector to be seen, heard, included, and
empowered such as generating disaggregated
data was one of the highlights of the National
Conference on Disability-Inclusive Disaster Risk
Reduction and Management or NatCon in Cebu
City in 2017.
The IDMS or Inclusive Data Management
System for Persons with Disabilities is a system
for collecting and analyzing data of persons
with disabilities to involve them in the planning,
budgeting, and other development processes of
local governments and agencies, specifically, in
the Local or Barangay Disaster Risk Reduction
and Management Plan. It was supported by Voice
Philippines and fully launched in September 2018.
The Center for Disaster Preparedness (CDP)
piloted the IDMS Project in the cities of Las Pinas
and Bislig from September 2018 - March 2021.
1 IDMS GUIDEBOOK
Why the need for IDMS?
All plans — local and national — should adhere
to fundamental laws of the land. In particular, the
1987 Constitution provides important mandates
from which these plans, public policies, and
actions must be based on:
• The State shall adopt an integrated
and comprehensive approach to health
development which shall endeavor to
make essential goods, health, and other
social services available to all the people
at affordable cost. There shall be priority
for the needs of the underprivileged, sick,
elderly, disabled, women, and children.
The State shall endeavor to provide free
medical care to paupers (Sec. 11, Art XIII,
1987 Constitution)
• The State shall establish a special
agency for disabled persons for their
rehabilitation, self-development, and
self-reliance, and their integration into the
mainstream of society (Sec 13, Art. XIII,
1987 Constitution)
Though the sections mentioned were under Health
of the Article XIII, accurate data on persons with
disability could help the national government
and local government units, in a more effective
formulation and management of programs for
members of the sector.
Policies that support IDMS
Other sections of the Constitution also point out
the responsibility of the state to guarantee active
participation of the sector. These include the
Section 2 of Article V on Suffrage calls on the
Congress to “design a procedure for the disabled
and illiterates to vote without the assistance of
other persons”; and Section 2 of Article XIV on
Education, Science and Technology, Arts, Culture
and Sports that requires the State to “provide
adult citizens, the disabled, and out- of- school
youth with training in civics, vocational efficiency
and other skills.”
Moreover, the Philippine Disaster Risk Reduction
and Management Act of 2010 (RA 10121)
stipulates that it is the policy of the state to
“develop and strengthen the capacities of
vulnerable and marginalized groups to mitigate,
prepare for, respond to, and recover from the
effects of disasters (Letter “n” of the Sec. 2 of
State Policies).”
It also defined vulnerable and marginalized
groups as those that “face higher exposure to
disaster risk and poverty including, but not limited
to, women, children, elderly, differently-abled
people, and ethnic minorities (Letter “oo”, Sec. 3
of the Definition of Terms). As such, the National
DRRM Law acknowledges persons with disability
as active players and contributors in resilience
building.
The Magna Carta for Persons with Disability (RA
7277) has been the most important legal basis for
persons with disability in the country, as it provides
a clear and comprehensive input on the rights and
privileges of persons with disability. There are also
existing legal instruments focused on accessibility
(Batas Pambansa 344), institutional mechanism
for persons with disability programs and services
(RA 10070), incentives (RA 9442), and economic
independence through employment and
opportunities (RA 10524; EO 417). The RA 7277
has been adopted to ensure their rehabilitation,
self-development, and self-reliance, thereby
achieving the necessary skills and capabilities to
take an active part in their community.
IDMS GUIDEBOOK 2
 Despite existing laws and policies that respect,
protect, and fulfill the rights of people with
disabilities in the country, as well as the national
declaration of the ‘Decade of Persons with
Disabilities’ from 2013 to 2022, the disability
sector is largely ignored when it comes to
making decisions that affect their lives. Hence,
contributions must be made in strengthening
the sector and engaging the state to create
channels, adhere to practices that build inherent
and emerging sector capacities, and enable
meaningful engagement in order to raise voices
and be heard.
This user-friendly manual is designed for local
government units to help them include people
with disabilities in their decision-making, planning,
and budgeting, particularly in disaster risk
reduction and management (DRRM). IDMS aims
to increase the capacity of local governments
to capture specific information on persons with
disabilities in their localities by collecting and
recording information on disability and DRRM
through the use of KoboCollect, an integrated set
of tools for building forms and collecting interview
responses. The IDMS used the Washington
Group of Short Set of Questions on Disability to
identify persons with disabilities while gathering
their relevant information, needs, vulnerabilities,
and capacities before, during, and after disaster
3 IDMS GUIDEBOOK
events. Ultimately, the main output of the project
is the establishment of a comprehensive data
management system for persons with disabilities
at the municipal or city level.
Using the IDMS Guidebook
This guidebook is intended for organizations, local
government units, government agencies, and
other development actors in capturing specific
and accurate data about persons with disabilities.
It is best used in conjunction with the IDMS
Online Course available at the CDP website:
https://www.cdp.org.ph/online-courses. The online
course features videos that guide learners on
how to navigate the different tools, platforms, and
programs that are used in the IDMS. Needless to
say, you may pause, repeat, and skip parts within
the videos or sessions to maximize learning.
Download the IDMS Resource Materials through:
http://bit.ly/idmsmaterials so you can easily follow
the online lessons. It contains helpful files such as
the Primer on Barangay Development Planning,
IDMS Tool, Lahat Handa Training Manual, sample
exercises, pivot tables, charts, and IDMS reports,
Quality Assessment Tool, Barangay DRRM
Plan Template, and other relevant materials and
references to help you better understand how
IDMS works.
To get started, we’ll look at the manpower,
equipment, tools, and skills needed to implement
IDMS:
• Android devices: Smart phones or
tablets where the KoboCollect app will be
installed. These must be made available
to enumerators who will conduct the data
collection in the barangay.
• Enumerators: The people who are
expected to do house-to-house data
collection. Enumerators need to be
properly trained before they go out for
fieldwork.
• Caretakers: Barangay and local
government units must delegate officers
who will create, monitor, manage, and
analyze the data using both KoboToolbox
and Microsoft Excel.
• Laptop/Desktop: All offices,
organizations, agencies involved
in a data collection project in IDMS
must have a computer with Microsoft
Excel and internet connection. This is
required in the storage, management,
visualization, and analysis of IDMS data.
• Planning templates and people’s
participation: The issues, needs, and
concerns that are reflected in the IDMS
data must be addressed, included, and
provided with budget in the plans that
the barangay and LGUs are mandated
to submit. Organizations of persons
with disabilities (OPDs), community-
based organizations (CBOs) or people’s
organizations (POs) that are present
in the barangay can help identify the
problems that must be given priority
and the measures that could be done to
confront such problems.
Reminders on mobile devices for use in
data collection
KoboToobox is the main platform and tool that
was used in the development and design of the
IDMS. As such, its main data collection app, the
KoboCollect, will be the focus of this guidebook.
KoBoCollect is available on any android device,
whether tablet or phone, as long as they run
Android 2.1 or higher. Said version was released
on January 2010. Web forms, however, will run on
any device, including Apple iOS devices, PC, or
Mac.
Recommending devices for field data collection
is difficult due to the large number of available
devices, each with different features and
advantages. When choosing a device you need to
weigh the importance of:
• Screen quality
• Durability
• Battery capacity
• Camera (Do you need front-facing, back-
facing, or both?)
• Internal storage and memory
• Internal sensors (GPS, movement),
connectivity options
(WiFi, cellular,
BlueTooth),
• Accessibility features
such as voice over,
text-to-speech,
dictation, etc.
It is best if the mobile
device has higher RAM
(above 64mb) and
memory storage (minimum
of 32gb).
IDMS GUIDEBOOK 4
 Introduction to KoboToolbox
What is KoboToolbox?

K
oBoToolbox is a suite of tools for field
data collection for use in challenging
environments. The software is free and
open source. Most of its users are people working
in humanitarian crises, as well as aid professionals
and researchers working in developing countries.
KoBoToolbox, developed by the Harvard
Humanitarian Initiative, is funded entirely through
generous grants and donations from partners.
Why KoboToolbox?
CDP has conducted several studies utilizing
KoboToolbox in collecting data from the field.
It recognizes the need for a mobile-based
technology that can easily store data online
and offline especially in areas where internet
access can be a challenge. Furthermore,
since KoboToolbox allows unlimited access to
humanitarian organizations such as CDP, there is
no risk of losing data regardless of the number of
sample populations for the survey.
The technological innovation of using
smartphones in data collection has started in the
Philippines just almost a decade ago.
In IDMS, we’ve endeavored to include persons
with disabilities and empower them to be at the
forefront of data collection and analysis, even
in areas that are geographically isolated and
disadvantaged (GIDAs).

Ms. Maribeth Veluz of the Las Piñas Federation of

Persons with Disability is among those who were trained
as enumerator for the project. She helped in pilot testing
the IDMS tool in Barangay Ilaya in Las Piñas City.

5 IDMS GUIDEBOOK
 A female head of the household and her son are being
interviewed by Mr. Crispy Salilin, one of the trained enumerators
in IDMS, during the field practice in using KoboCollect in a
covered court in Brgy. Poblacion, Bislig City.

Advantages and Disadvantages of

using KoboToolbox
The central component of this attempt at digital
data collection is the availability of android
devices. This is arguably more expensive than
printed questionnaire, however, android devices
owned by enumerators for the project can
certainly be used. It also eliminates the need for
encoders who will render the data collected from
the printed survey forms useful by translating
them to digital formats. In addition, the market is
replete with affordable yet reliable devices.
When these preparations are satisfied, the actual
process of data collection is much less tedious.
Note that enumerators could save responses
offline, and send validated and completed forms
later. This is particularly helpful when covering
a remote area where mobile data reception is
difficult. They also do not have to carry large
baggage of printed questionnaires.

Data collection requires only a smart phone to

collect data, but it entails arduous preparation.
Training and practice for both the use of gadgets
and the proper approach in administering the
data profiling tool must be carried out. Technical
assistance must also be provided to enumerators
in downloading the application and obtaining the
form to be used. Accurate collection and capturing
of data into the application, while maintaining
rapport with respondents, must also be practiced
thoroughly prior to field activities.

IDMS GUIDEBOOK 6
 How to use the KoboToolbox?
Organizations, offices, LGUs or BLGUs are
encouraged to collaborate together in IDMS
in order to cover as many communities as
possible. Each stakeholder must assign a

 Disability-inclusive data collection tool
T
he IDMS Tool is a data gathering tool
that gathers relevant information on
persons with disabilities; aiding in the
identification of persons with disabilities through
the Washington Group Questions (WGQs), along
with their needs, vulnerabilities, and capacities
in peace time as well as in times of disaster.
This tool was developed following five regional
consultations held in Manila City, Baguio City,
Borongan in Eastern Samar, Tagum City, and
Cebu City, including eight exploratory meetings
with government agencies and international
non-government organizations. Suggestions and
recommendations from multi-stakeholders on
what information must be captured were included
in the tool.
Using the Washington Group Questions
It is very important to be familiar with the
IDMS Tool before conducting the survey. It is
recommended to go through all the included
questions before proceeding with the data
gathering.
Since not everyone has the same definition of
what disability is, and since disability has a stigma
attached to it, it’s critical that the questions used
to collect disability data are well-designed and
applied.The Washington Group has created
comprehensive documents on how to ask the
questions and interpret the results. DO NOT use
the word ‘disability’ when introducing yourself and
the IDMS project to the respondents and when
asking the six questions from WGQs.
This includes other negative terms and phrases
that denote the same. Never change the question
or response options’ wording.
15 IDMS GUIDEBOOK
The IDMS Tool is currently available in English
and Tagalog versions and is divided into the
following sections:
Part A. Household Information
This section collects information from the Head of
the Household or a representative of the Head of
the Household. It collects demographic data from
the household which includes the following:
• Sex and Civil Status of the Head of
Household
• Number of families in the household
• Income and expenses of the household
related to the needs of the members of the
household with disabilities
• Washington Group Questions (WGQs)
Note that in both Parts A and B, an item asking
for respondent’s Barangay is added. This is not
an error. However, make sure to put the same
answer in both items as this will make data
management later less complicated. The simple
explanation to this is that, in the file that will
be downloaded from KoboToolbox once data
collection is complete, responses to Parts B to
D will appear in a separate sheet (the first sheet
includes all Household Information or Parts A,
E, F, and G). This is because Parts B to D of the
IDMS Tool, by design, are sections that duplicate
based on the respondent’s answer to question
12.a. (number of persons with disabilities in the
household who can/be assisted to respond to the
survey).
Part B. Profiling of Persons with
Disabilities
This part focuses on the individual profile of the
person with disabilities. Questions include:
• Sex
• Gender
• Age/Date of Birth
• Civil Status
• Registration Status
• Employment Status
• Skills and Education
• Type and Cause of Disability
• Resources needed and resources the
household member/s with disability currently
have
Part C. Policies and Laws
This part gauges the level of awareness and
involvement of persons with disabilities in the
implementation of policies related to disability
and disaster risk reduction and management. It
also looks into the roles of various agencies and
sectors in the effective implementation of these
laws:
• Magna Carta for Disabled Persons
• Accessibility Law
• Disaster Risk Reduction and Management
Law of the Philippines
• Children’s Emergency Relief and Protection
Act
Part D. Services and Benefits
Services and Benefits looks into the respondent’s
level of awareness and ease of access to basic
benefits and services as mandated by the law.
These benefits and services include:
• 20% Discount and Value Added Tax
Exemption on the purchase of certain
goods and services such as Lodging
Establishments, Restaurants, Recreation
Centers, Purchase of Medicines and Foods
for Special Medical Purposes, Medical and
Dental Services, Diagnostic and Laboratory
Fees and Professional Fees of Attending
Doctors, Domestic Air and Sea Travel, and
Land Transportation Travel
• Educational Assistance
• Benefits from GSIS, SSS and Pag-Ibig
based on their respective charters
• Sidewalks, ramps, and railings in public
spaces
• Express Lanes
Part E. Participation in governance
The fifth part solicits information on household
participation in government or non-government
initiated activities related to disaster risk
reduction, government planning, emergency
preparedness, and programming for persons with
disabilities.
Part F. Institutions
The household’s access and frequency of
interaction with the following public and private
institutions that support the needs and provide
services to persons with disabilities are included
in this part of the tool:
• Person with Disability Affairs Office/Officer
• Local Disaster Risk Reduction and
Management Office (MDRRMO)
• Barangay officials
• Local health officer
• Non-government organizations
• Schools
• Religious organizations
Part G. Awareness on DRR and disaster
experience
The last section probes respondent’s experiences
in preparing for and responding to disasters. This
part seeks to assess their understanding of their
exposure to hazards, particularly for persons with
disabilities in the household. It also allows them to
share their expertise and skills that can contribute
to the implementation of DRRM activities.

Individuals reporting ‘a lot of difficulty’ or ‘cannot
do at all’ to the questions should be counted as
having a disability when doing data analysis.

Categorizing Disability
The IDMS Tool integrated both the general
categorizations of disability (Physical, Sensory,
Learning Disability, Mental Disability, Multiple) and
the official government categorization of disability
based upon the recommendation of National
Council on Disability Affairs:

• Deaf/Hard of Hearing
• Intellectual Disability
• Learning Disability
• Mental Disability
• Orthopedic Disability
• Physical Disability
• Psychosocial Disability
• Speech and Language Impairment
• Visual Disability

Enumerators need to be familiar with the

characteristics and differences between and
among these categories. Finding out how these
disability categories link to the respondent’s
answers to the WGQs, therefore, only helps
identify or validate the presence of disability.

Individuals reporting “having a lot of difficulty”

or “cannot do at all” on questions 1, 2, 4 and
6 will have difficulty in Accessing Information.
Individuals reporting “having a lot of difficulty”
or “cannot do at all” on questions 3,4,5, 6, on
the other hand, will have difficulty in Acting on
Information. Individuals who report high across
both of these grouping of questions will have
difficulty in Accessing Information and Acting on
Information.5

Guidelines in using the questions are available

online (https://www.washingtongroup-disability.
com) and are included in the IDMS Resource
Materials.

Here are a few things to keep in
mind when selecting enumerators
and surveyors for data profiling
using android devices with the
KoboTool app:
• Enumerators are responsible for carrying
out the interview with individuals selected.
• Enumerators have an important task of
delivering first-hand information from the
community.
• Enumerators, hence, must be certain
that the information they are collecting is
accurate.
• Enumerators must be diligent in checking
survey forms upon completion and
verifying the accuracy of the responses.
Here are some reminders to
enumerators before going to the
field:
• Study and understand all instructions
in using KoboTool, IDMS Tool, WGQs
and other information included in the
enumerators guide and provided through
the training in order;
• Coordinate with the supervisor on how to
carry out the survey and to report daily
work done;
• Check that material necessary to
carry out the survey is sufficient and
appropriate.

Humanity and Inclusion
recommends the following actions
when interviewing persons with
disabilities:
• Use people- first language – for example,
don’t say disabled person, but person
with disabilities.

• Treat persons with disabilities with the

same respect as any other respondent.

• Speak directly to the person with

disability/ies, not to the third person
(caregiver, parents), even if there is a
translator or an interpreter present.

• Do not make assumptions about a

person’s capabilities.

• Be close to the person but keep an

appropriate distance.

Most of the enumerators selected by CDP for its pilot testing were persons with
disabilities. In so doing, it allowed them to regain their self-confidence. They
related how they felt a deep sense of fulfillment in obtaining and providing vital
information to members of the community; while the community witnessed their
capacity to help and perform when given the opportunity to be included, to be
involved, and to participate.

IDMS GUIDEBOOK 24
 Sample Training Design
In collecting data, enumerators are required to
undergo training and sensitization with focus on
tool mastery so that they are better equipped
with the necessary skills and knowledge, imbued
with the proper temperament in interacting with
community members. Having said that, the topics
included in their training must be based on their
needs to boost their confidence and ability to
capture a more nuanced and accurate data from
the community.
Prior to the training, mobile devices must be
adequately charged. If enumerators will be using
their own android devices (KoboCollect is not
available on iOS devices), remind them to free up
enough storage prior to the training and to bring
their mobile chargers.
We recommend that enumerators be given
enough time and opportunity to appreciate and
understand modules on Disability Sensitization
and Disability-Inclusive DRRM, among other
things. You can also design the training according
to their capacities and needs.
Below is a sample training design that CDP
used in training its enumerators for its pilot
implementation. These topics were suggested by
its partner organizations of persons with disability
(OPDs). It took into account the experience of the
enumerators, their practices, and their familiarity
with the processes of community-based disaster
risk reduction and management (CBDRRM).

Guide for Disability-Inclusive CBDRRM
You may refer to Fostering Inclusive
Communities: A Guide to Facilitating
Disability-Inclusive Community-Based
Disaster Risk Reduction and Management,
a guide developed by CDP, in partnership with
CBM, in facilitating disability-inclusive CBDRRM.
It integrates inclusive approaches to community-
based DRRM and promotes the rights and
capacities of children, youth, older people, and
persons with disabilities.
The Lahat Handa manual is also made available
to learners and is included in the IDMS Resource
Materials. It is based on the Community-Based
Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Basic
Instructor’s Guide (BIG), a guidebook developed
and prescribed by the National Disaster Risk
Reduction and Management Council (NDRRMC)
for CBDRRM trainers and practitioners in the
Philippines. This manual explains why disability
should be included in the CBDRRM process for
relevant practitioners. It also explains how to
incorporate inclusive community risk assessments
and inclusive planning to ensure disability
inclusion in the CBDRRM decision-making
process, as well as the position of stakeholders,
especially representatives of organizations of
persons with disabilities, at various levels of the
Community-Based Disaster Risk Reduction and
Management process.
The Twin Track Approach
To ensure that general services are accessible to
all, an inclusive system requires the elimination
of barriers and inequalities. It allows vulnerable
groups to be included in a system that respects
their rights and interests, ensures their
involvement, and responds to their needs. In an
inclusive system, they are actively engaged in
planned operations and policies are in place to
promote their active involvement and respond to
their unique needs.
Empowerment, on the other hand, refers to the
process of improving the capacities of people with
disabilities, older people, and children to engage
in DRRM activities (actively discuss and share
their opinions, and do/lead particular tasks) and
make choices about themselves and their sectors
on a long-term basis. This can be accomplished
by forming and strengthening sectoral
associations, implementing training programs,
and developing skills.
The Twin Track Approach, as discussed in Lahat
Handa,6 promotes the advancement of vulnerable
individuals and groups by emphasizing the value
of developing an enabling environment in which
DRRM systems, authorities, and programming are
inclusive and barriers to inclusion are removed.
Nondiscrimination, inclusion, and accessibility,
on the other hand, ensure that everyone in the
DRRM has an equal chance, particularly the most
vulnerable.
Since it incorporates the two main techniques
of (1) making an inclusive system and (2)
empowerment, it is known as the twin-track
approach.
Both policies — promoting an inclusive system
and empowering people — are needed to ensure
that people with disabilities, older people, and
children have the same access to resources
and opportunities as the rest of the population.
They are referred to as “twins” because they are
related. Inclusion efforts could not be maintained
without the other.

As the main account administrator, LDRRMO and
PDAO, can share data collection projects in each
barangay, office, or department that are part of
the IDMS project by giving access to forms and

said barangay, office, or department must also
each create a KoboToolbox account.
Sharing of projects between and among

Collecting data must lead to a better

understanding of the community — its important
local issues and contexts. Better understanding
enables organizations to come up with better
courses of action and develop more appropriate
policies to confront and provide solutions to the
community’s problems and issues.

It all begins with a good quality data.

Why we need data?

Data is generally regarded as the collection of
facts or information. It can be in any language,
code, shape, or form — numbers, words,
measurements, observations or even just
descriptions of things. When organized and
presented in a meaningful way, data can be
analyzed to provide helpful insights on many
matters.

Disability affects the daily life of an individual
in many different ways and IDMS hopes to
enable organizations to collect and make use of
information they need to make positive changes,
improve outcomes, and generally help the lives of
people living with disability.
We need data because we need information, but
these information need to be carefully selected,
filtered, analyzed, and interpreted in order for
them to show the realities on the ground. If done
right, the results of the IDMS Data Collection will
make it easier for its users to pinpoint problems
and opportunities that need to be tackled for the
community’s development.

The impact of an impairment and the barriers that
persons with disability face can differ from city to
city. Even the barriers present in a large city are
not necessarily the same as those faced by the
same sector in a rural community.
Revisit your local plans and examine the recurring
issues that perennially affect your community.
What questions from the IDMS Tool are relevant
to these issues? Does your organization have
existing documents that can help you understand
the problem further? Asking these questions is
often a good way to start with data analysis. But
the questions you really must be asking yourself
when working with disability data are:
• What is happening?
• Why is it happening?
Essentially, data analysis is providing answers to
these questions and supporting them with more
data. There are millions of ways of interpreting a
given data which makes it difficult and confusing.
However, if you split employability into
‘educational attainment’, ‘presence of educational
institutions’ and ‘livelihood opportunities’
available, you may stumble upon important
connections and get the answers you want.
Once you have identified the specific themes you
need data for, the second phase is to decide what
type of data you will be needing.
The indicators you choose and the summaries
you generate from those indicators must satisfy
the themes you listed down in Step 1.

Here’s a simple process in analyzing your data:7 10

Step 1: Think about what you want the data 0

for – what do you need to know? What is the Self-employed - 8
overarching theme? This can be as big or as
small as you like, for example, employability of Unemployed (retired) - 3
persons with disability living in the community or
number of accessible buildings. Unemployed (not seeking) - 42
Unemployed (actively seeking) - 9
Step 2: Come up with ideas. The aim is to try
and find all possible measures of your chosen Contractual - 5
theme in Step 1. The reason behind this is to get
your theme broken down into small manageable Student - 16
questions. For example if you try to look up
‘employability’ as a whole you will not be able to Part-time - 19
find anything. Business owner - 2

Mistakes in the spelling or capitalization of streets, barangays, provinces, etc., during data collection
is very common, especially when covering large areas. This underscores the importance of checking,
validating, and editing submissions in the KoboToolbox by following the steps discussed on page 29.
The downloaded Excel file contains two worksheets: Household Information and Persons with
Disability Profile. Both sheets must be thoroughly checked before proceeding to data analysis.
Here are the steps in preparing your data for data analysis:

1. In your Excel file, select the first ROW that contains the headers of the
Preparing columns. These are the titles of the indicators taken from the IDMS
the Data TOOL. After selecting them, go to SORT AND FILTER in the MENU and
select FILTER.
2. Move to columns to the right so that Province, Municipality and
Barangay COLUMNS are showing on the screen. Touch the down arrow
in the HEADER of the column, and type the correct spelling of the area.
Make sure the box next to the correct name of the place you want to
correct is checked and click OK.
3. Choose the correct spelling, highlight and DRAG DROP to the very end
of the list. Do this for all barangay entries until they all show uniform
spelling. Move to the COLUMN of provinces and municipalities and do
the same.
4. After that, select all columns with NUMBER data. After selecting, an
exclamation mark will appear next to it. Click the exclamation mark
and the choices will appear. Select ‘Convert text to number’ in the
options.

 A single pivot table can have more than one
indicator. An example of indicators that could
be crammed in one pivot table is Number of
Respondents by Age, Sex, or Disability. By
combining these indicators in a single pivot
table, organizations can easily illustrate the most
prevalent type of disability in a given community
for both women and men, including the age
groups where the persons with disabilities belong
to. Keep in mind that pivot tables that are most
appropriate and relevant to the context of your
community can be created.
There are many indicators included in the IDMS
Tool that can help organizations see more clearly
what’s happening in the community. Take note of
the indicators that provide compelling answers to
why certain issues exist. Check out the page 17
and review the full list of the questions and the
indicators available.
A sample of indicators that can be considered for
the development of Barangay, City, or Municipal

Types of Data
There are several types of data but the IDMS Tool
contains specific types of data: quantitative and
categorical. Quantitative data or those that show
numerical values, but this type of data can’t be
analyzed on its own. Categorical variables, on the
other hand, represent types of data which may
be divided into groups. Examples of quantitative
data with categorical variables are sex, age
group, and educational level. While age group
and educational attainment can be interpreted
as numerical data, it is often more informative to
categorize such variables into a relatively small
number of groups.
Quantitative data can also be considered
as cross-sectional when the data provides a
snapshot of what the community looks like or
what is happening at a particular group at a
given point in time. These allow you to look at
the features of your target group and explore
their relationships. An example of cross-sectional
data is the status of registration for persons with

of their shape so be careful with how you use
them.

Use them to illustrate part-to-whole comparisons.

Line charts

To show time-series relationships with continuous

data, line charts are used. It is a good way to
show trends and results over time. This can be
particularly helpful when you have been collecting
IDMS data over long periods of time.

Area charts also show time-series relationship,

but they are mainly used to represent volume.

Scatter plots

Scatter plots show the relationship between items

based on two sets of variables. They are best
used to show correlation in a large amount of
data.

Bubble Charts

Bubble charts are good for displaying nominal

comparisons or ranking relationships.

Heatmaps

A heatmap shows the magnitude of a

phenomenon as color in two dimensions. The
difference in color represents how an event or

 Analyzing the IDMS data
Make sense of the data. Look for causal
relationships. Always keep in mind that analysis
is precise – each finding tells you one thing – so
you need to be careful not to misuse data. In the
same way that wrong diagnosis by a doctor to a
patient’s illness could lead to illness, impairment,
or worse, death; wrong analysis of the
community’s current situation could result to plans
that do not cater to the needs or the community
nor address their real and most urgent concerns.
Here are some of the common techniques in
analysis that you can use:

steady or fluctuating, seasonal or random and
there can be changes at a defined rate. Check Up and down vs. Flat

Comparison
Comparisons can be based on ranking, Categorical comparison and
measurements, range, context, relationships. Do Proportions

A pattern is a series of data that repeats in a

recognizable way. Does your data show:
• Clear connection or relationship between

Here’s where it gets tricky because there are
many ways to misinterpret or misuse data. Watch
out for common errors in data analysis such as:
Not knowing the subject area. It’s important that
you understand the nuances and context of your
data analysis. Changes in policy or the addition of
new variables can have a huge effect on society’s
image. Changes in the data may or may not be
linked to the causes you believe;
Reading too much into the findings. When
analyzing data, it is important to only report what
the data says. It is very convenient to use your
knowledge of the environment to add context to
the data, but it is critical to distinguish between
your knowledge and the data while doing so. You
can’t say that the data is 100% supporting your
point of view if it isn’t; and
Making sweeping comments. This is somewhat
similar to the previous pitfall in that it is more
about figuring out what the data is really saying
and reporting just that. When attempting to
interpret findings and simplify what they mean, it
is easy to lose sight of the data’s true meaning.
As a result, you must be extremely cautious when
interpreting the data.
Knowing your variables. In quantitative
analysis, this is important. It’s important that you
know what variables you’re working with. What
exactly are they saying?12
Inclusive and participatory data
analysis
Organizations of persons with disabilities (OPDs)
present in the community are highly encouraged
to be invited and included in a plenary session
in order to validate and make more accurate
analyses and interpretation of the data collected.
A sample of a chart showing the distribution
persons with disability across different indigenous
groups is shown below. In this example, validating
with OPDs from the community whether or not
Ilokano is indeed an indigenous group, or if
Manobo is different from Manubo, can set the
figures on record straight. This is just one of
the 50 questions in the IDMS that need to be
validated so your analyses are on point.
Strategies in ensuring the data reflect the issues
in the barangay are discussed in greater detail in
the next chapter.

Put simply, the BDC must lead the preparation
of Barangay Development Plan (BDP). The BDP
must then be approved by the Sangguniang
Barangay or the legislative body in the barangay
level. It is an official document of the barangay
that specify policy options, programs, projects,
and activities intended to contribute towards the
achievement of the barangay’s development
goals and objectives.17
Here are some of the information that must be
included in the plan:
• Situational analysis,
• Organizational philosophy,
• Policy options,
• Programs, projects, and activities,
• Implementation timelines,
• Resource requirements, and
• Monitoring and evaluation system.

 Inclusive planning at the barangay
level
Governance in the context of development
planning is about upholding the interest of the
governed. As such, its primary purpose is to
protect public interest and that of every individual
who has a stake in the planning process. It’s
important therefore to rationalize Barangay
Development Plans (BDPs) to ensure that
its contents directly address the needs of the
community and its residents.18
BDP processes are open to ALL stakeholders.
People from different sectors must actively
participate in these processes. They should bring
attention to their issues and suggest priorities
and strategies through the help of the BDC. The
BDC, on the other hand, must allow them to
spell out the various issues that concern them.
The representation and active involvement
of numerous groups, especially marginalized
groups, will ensure that issues affecting
communities that cut across sectors are heard.

51 IDMS GUIDEBOOK
The BDC is mandated to formulate the BDP.
It shall include members of the Sangguniang
Barangay and Representative of the
Congressman with the Barangay Captain as the
chairperson (see diagram below). Barangay-
based non-government organizations (NGOs)
shall also be part of the council, and they shall
constitute not less than one fourth (1/4) of the
members of the fully organized council. This is
important to note as this ensures participation
of community-based people’s organizations (i.e.
organization of persons with disability, women,
children and youth, and older persons) in
governance and developmental process.
By encouraging sectoral groups and NGOs to
participate in the planning process, the current
planning system attempts to avoid multiplicity
of plans and efficient use of resources. The
Sangguniang Barangay must accept or accredit
NGOs that will have a seat in the BDC.19

The needs of a community vary and may range Accreditation of community-based

from simple to complex. These issues or needs
arise from the problems faced by the people who
are part of it. The barangay or LGU must meet the
needs of its constituents in order to be effective in
its management. Otherwise, community members
will find it difficult to own and embrace the
programs and projects it wants to implement.
But the BLGU cannot meet all the needs of their
constituents all at once. It needs to allocate
its available resources wisely, and addressing
a variety of needs often times require a lot of
resources.
Given the limitations in resources and the
wide range of needs present in the community,
prioritizing is key. This will enable the local
governments to focus on their most immediate
needs. After careful analysis of the problems of
the community, selecting priority issues must be
carried out with the help of community members.

Requirements of accreditation are the
following:
• Letter of application for accreditation
• Accomplished Application and
Accreditation Form (AAF) to the SB
• Certificate of Registration issued
by the Securities and Exchange
Commission
• List of current officers,
• Annual accomplishment report, and
• Financial statement for the
immediately preceding year
Coordination is encouraged among NGOs
working for the same sector in the barangay
as only one NGO per sector will be
accredited.

IDMS GUIDEBOOK 52
 Organization of Barangay
Development Council - Technical
Working Group
Aside from accrediting sectoral groups or NGOs
to be part of its BDC, the barangay can also invite
sectoral representatives and organizations as
members of the Barangay Development Council
- Technical Working Group (BDC-TWG). This
is formalized by the issuance of an Executive
Order by the Punong Barangay. Formation of
sectoral planning groups is highly recommended
to ensure that specific concerns of each of the
five Development Sectors (Economic, Social,
Environment, Infrastructure, and Institutional
Development) are considered.20
In organizing the BDC-TWG, representatives of
OPDs and NGOs working with the sector shall
be convened by the barangay. An orientation
and workshop must be conducted for them to
become familiar with the processes and principles
involved in the planning process. This will also be
an opportunity to level off expectations especially
on their roles and responsibilities with regard to
the preparation and updating of BDP so they can
create work plans germane to the task at hand.

Problem-Solution Matrix

and concerns affecting problems

(problems) being addressed
53 IDMS GUIDEBOOK
The key responsibilities of the BDC-TWG in IDMS
are the following:
• Help the BDC in data analysis and
interpretation;
• Priority issues, concerns, and needs of
persons with disabilities;
• Recommend solutions to address priority
problems; and
• Monitor the implementation of programs
and projects.
Many tools can be used to identify priority issues.
One of such tools is the Problem-Solution
Matrix (shown below).
By facilitating a workshop on the Problem-
Solution Matrix, the BDC allows BDC-TWG
members to have a deeper analysis of their
community context and situation. They are
encouraged to express their needs and concerns
in their own colorful, meaningful, and realistic way.
Identifying projects, programs, and activities
(PPAs) that will help the community, especially
the persons with disabilities, will become
straightforward and uncomplicated. The results of
the Problem-Solution Matrix shall be one of the
barangay’s main bases for the development of its
plans and budget.
Proposed solution
to issues, needs,
and concerns
How to use the Problem-Solution
Matrix
1. After listing down the problems and issues
that were reflected in the IDMS Data
(including their proposed solutions), the
participants shall rate the problems and
needs of the disability sector according to a
set of criteria they’ve agreed upon.
2. Examples of criteria are:
• Number of people to be affected (the
more people to be affected, the greater
the importance)
• Urgency
• Barangay capacity and resources
3. Rate each issue 1-5, 1 being the lowest
score that can be awarded, 5 being the
highest;
4. Get the total score of each item. The ones
with the highest scores are the ones to
prioritize.
5. Include in the plan (BDP, BDRRMP, etc.)
proposed solutions to the issues with the
highest scores; at
6. Cross-validate these problems and solutions
in a plenary session with organizations or
federations of persons with disabilities.
7. Take note of their comments, feedback and
recommendations.
The BDC must meet at least once every six
months, or as required, to deliberate and
review the plan’s requirements.
\When deciding on priorities, keep in mind
that the Barangay Development Plan should
focus on the impacts and effects that will
propel the community forward and further its
development. It is also necessary to consider
whether a development program is beneficial
to the majority of the barangay population
before prioritizing it. In poverty-stricken
areas, for example, PPAs such as livelihood
and anti-poverty alleviation programs are
vital and important. PPAs can be classified
as follows:
• Urgent - initiatives that cannot be
postponed and can help to alleviate
safety concerns, etc.;
• Essential - projects that can finish
pending ones;
• Necessary - projects that must be
implemented in response to potential
needs;
• Desirable - initiatives that could lead
to the expansion of other services;
• Acceptable - programs that can be
put on hold without having an impact
on the current situation.21

 Barangay Development Investment
Program (BDIP)
The BDP sets the priority areas of services and
specifies target outputs and accomplishments
of the barangay. It usually covers a five-
year period or the medium term of 3 years.
Furthermore, PPAs of LGUs must be consistent
with AMBISYON NATIN 2040 and have a results-
oriented emphasis on national development
targets.22
The Barangay Development Investment Program
(BDIP) is the primary tool for putting the BDP into
action. It is a document that translates the BDP
into initiatives, projects, and events, as well as
the corresponding resource specifications, all of
which are expected to be completed within three
(3) years.
Gender and Development Plan (GAD Plan),
Barangay Disaster Risk Reduction and
Management Plan (BDRRMP), Barangay Peace
and Order and Public Safety (BPOPS) Plan,
Barangay Anti-Drug Abuse Council (BADAC)
Plan of Action, Barangay Ecological Solid
Waste Management Plan (BESWMP), and
Comprehensive Barangay Youth Development
Plan are examples of sectoral plans that should
be included in the BDP.
For many years, CDP has advocated for higher
budgetary allocations for persons with disabilities
at the local and barangay levels. As a result,
local government units have increased support
for investment in disability-inclusive disaster risk
reduction activities.
Now, CDP continues to advocate for the same
with a strong emphasis on the collection and
maintenance of database where activities and
expected results to be included in plans and
budget could be derived from.

On the next page is the Barangay Planning and
Budgeting Calendar for the preparation and
submission of development plans and budget.23
As you can see, data gathering and validation
must be scheduled and completed by Barangay
LGUs from August to September upon
assumption to office during the Situational
Analysis and Problem Identification. However,
IDMS can be adopted and undertaken by
Barangay LGUs even after the first year of
the barangay officials’ assumption to office by
including the IDMS activities and corresponding
budget in the formulation of the Annual
Investment Program (AIP).
Furthermore, sectoral groups, NGOs, CSOs, and
POs need to identify the entry points in each step
of the planning and budgeting process where they
may assist the LGU, especially in mainstreaming
issues and concerns of the vulnerable groups. If
the Barangay Development Plans have already
been prepared, an entry point for CSOs may be
through the preparation of the sectoral/thematic
plans and annual investment plan.

 Annual Investment Program (AIP)
The AIP is the annual slice of the Barangay
Development Investment Program (BDIP).
It is the yearly program of expenditures both
for capital and operating requirements of
the barangay that will serve as basis for the
preparation of Annual and Supplemental Budgets.
It contains the total resource requirements for all
PPAs consisting of the annual capital expenditure
and regular operating requirements of the LGU.
This means, the AIP contains the specific PPAs
with corresponding costs including the necessary
fund flows for the timely release of funds in a
year.
The Punong Barangay, with the assistance of the
Barangay Secretary and Barangay Treasurer, will
prepare the AIP based on the authorized BDP.
Without data on the needs, issues, and concerns
of the vulnerable groups such as the persons with
disability, there simply is no basis for the BDC
to identify which priority programs, projects, and
activities must be pursued to better serve their
constituents, particularly the vulnerable sectors.
And without priority programs and projects,
there is no basis for the programming of funds;
therefore, there is no basis for budgeting.

Budget Preparation
The Barangay Budget is a document that
lists the costs of expenses in relation to the
barangay’s income for a given period of time.
The Punong Barangay, in collaboration with
the Barangay Treasurer and the Barangay
Development Council, prepares the barangay
budget, which includes: (a) revenue estimates;
and (b) overall appropriations as proposed by
the Punong Barangay.24
PPAs earlier identified in the Problem-Solution
Matrix can be used not just for the preparation
of the BDP. The BDC must also consider PPAs
that could be included in the Barangay Disaster
Risk Reduction and Management Plan or
BDRRMP. Remember, all approved and ratified
programs and projects must be adequately
financed in accordance with the law’s mandate.
Each barangay are required to allocate no less
than:
1. Twenty percent (20%) of Internal
Revenue Allotment (IRA) for
development projects as mandated
under Section 287 of RA No. 7160;25

The barangay may also identify PPAs that can
be funded by the parent LGU (e.g. the city or
municipal government).
Please refer to the Primer on Barangay
Development Planning included in the IDMS
Resource Materials for the complete guide in
investment programming and budgeting in the
barangay which are integral to operationalize the
BDP. The primer also contains templates and
other documents helpful for the barangay.
Preparing for Data Collection
As was discussed at the beginning of this guide,
data collection requires only android devices to
collect data; but training and practice for both
the use of gadgets and the proper approach
in administering the data profiling tool must be
conducted prior to data collection. The barangay

must ensure that enumerators or volunteers who
will administer the IDMS tool to households are
sufficiently trained to accurately enter and send
accomplished forms to the database co-shared
with the LGU.
As such, preparation and planning for data
collection must already be discussed among the
BDC and BDC secretariat during the stakeholders
meeting and planning at the beginning of the
year (or the previous year), ensuring that data
collection takes place before the actual planning.
The number of days for actual data collection,
however, depends on two things: total number of
households to be covered, and number of data
collectors, enumerators, or volunteers available
for the field activity.
Based on the project’s pilot testing, the data
collection with one household typically takes 12-
45 minutes to finish, depending on the presence
of household member/s who have disability/ies.
Remember, Parts B to F of the IDMS Tool (see
Full List of Questions) only appears if a number
equal to or more than 1 is entered on question
number 12.a. — the number of persons with
disability/ies in the household who can or can
be assisted to respond to the survey. Typically,
an enumerator can collect data from 10 to 30
households or an average of 20 households per
day.32
Bearing this in mind, you can now decide how
many days and how many enumerators are
needed to cover the entire barangay for the IDMS
data collection project. If you have 10 available
enumerators, for example, you can allocate six (6)
days of data collection in a barangay with a total
of 1200 households using this formula:

M
ore specifically, data collected can be
used during capacity building activities
in Community-Based Disaster Risk
Reduction and Management, particularly during
the Community Risk Assessments (CRA). It
can also be used to further develop certain risk
assessment tools, like the Elements-at-Risk tool,
which determines the resources, capacities,
and vulnerabilities of a community. Information
collected from the CRA process is the foundation
of a community’s disaster risk reduction and
management plans.
The more comprehensive the data on persons
with disability are, the more likely an LGU is able
to produce and implement local development
and DRRM plans that cater to the specific needs
and concerns of the sector, further boosting the
community’s over-all resilience and reducing its
disaster risk.
Part of the Quality Assurance System developed
by the Local Government Academy (LGA) is a
Simplified BDRRMP Template that could guide
barangay DRRM committees in crafting their
BDRRMPs.
In this chapter, we’ll look at the Barangay
Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Plan
(BDRRMP) and identify where the responses
from the IDMS tool could be useful. The standard
tool endorsed by the Department of Interior and
Local Government (DILG) that could be used to
measure the quality of a BDRRMP is the Quality
Assessment Tool (QAT). It is mandated by the
Philippine DRRM Law – RA 10121 – for use by
LGUs to enhance their plans and integrate the
concerns of women, children, older persons,
persons with disability, and ethnic minorities.
Putting emphasis on persons with disability, the
QAT focuses on nine (9) Key Elements which
contains Quality Benchmarks (QBs) with specific
sets of required Criteria and Sub-criteria that
should be reflected in the BDRRM Plan.

59 IDMS GUIDEBOOK
Outline of LDRRM Plans
Local DRRM Plans are important as they are the
main document that articulates the barangay’s
vision of a safer, developed, and resilient
community. As such, it must detail the strategies
of the local government in achieving its goals
based on its susceptibility to hazards and its over-
all disaster risk.
Aside from the title, vision, mission, goals, and
objectives, here are the main sections that must
be included in the BDRRMP:

 The Barangay DRRM Plan
Quality Assessment Tool

The QAT looks at 12 key elements with

corresponding and well-defined criteria.

Each BDRRMP can score a maximum of three

points per element. BDRRMPs must score a total
of 31-36 points in order to be assessed as high
quality, and 21-30 as medium quality. If a plan
gets a measly score of 20 or below, it means that
it needs further work to become more disability-
inclusive. The QAT is great tool that could guide
barangay and LGUs what must be taken into
consideration when developing BDRRMPs.

Out of the 12 areas, seven (7) puts heavy

emphasis on the participation, involvement, and
inclusion of the most vulnerable and marginalized
sectors. Let’s now look at these key elements.

1 Representation of DPOs in the BDRRMC

61 IDMS GUIDEBOOK
The main criterion for membership in the
barangay DRRM committee is the representation
of sectoral groups such the vulnerable
and marginalized sector, schools, faith-
based organizations, livelihood sectors, and
environmental sector. Thorough consultations
enables them to articulate their needs, issues,
and concerns better.

Involvement of persons with disability in community risk

2
assessment

Active and meaningful participation of persons
with disabilities and other vulnerable groups
are also given weight in the QAT. The maximum
point of three points can be taken by BDRRMPs
that show involvement of children and youth,
women, pregnant and lactating mothers, persons
with disability, older persons, and indigenous
people (if there are indigenous groups present
in the community), in the risk assessment. Part
G (Awareness on DRR and disaster experience)
of the IDMS Tool may contain important risk
information from the community as it presents
households’ perceived susceptibility to hazards,
disasters they experienced and their effects.

IDMS GUIDEBOOK 62
 3 Collection and use of disaggregated data in elements at risk
It is not enough that BDRRMPs contain results
of community risk assessment (CRA) tools
(e.g. elements at risk, seasonal calendar, etc.).
The maximum score can only be attained by
fulfilling all the sub-criteria under the section
C, which includes data of the elements at risk
disaggregated by age, sex, and abilities. This
highlights the different and varying needs of
affected families and individuals depending on
their age, sex, disability, and susceptibility to
hazards.
The criteria for this key element looks at how
risk information are linked to programs, projects,
and activities (PPAs) included in the BDRRMP.
This is where data analysis OF IDMS data
can be crucial in substantiating the priorities
63 IDMS GUIDEBOOK
that will be funded by the local government
for disaster preparedness, prevention and
mitigation, emergency response, and recovery
and rehabilitation. Some examples of PPAs per
thematic area is provided on page 75. The use of
IDMS data must not be limited by the barangay
LGU strictly for its Barangay DRRM Plans only. It
can also be the basis for other development plans
with much larger fund allocation. For example,
if the data shows a large number of persons
with disability from ages 18-60 years old are
unemployed, skills enhancement or livelihood
training could be included as priority program
of the barangay in its BDP under the economic
development sector, which has greater fund
allocation.
 Major issues and concerns of persons with disability
4
are addressed

Given the absence of reliable data to account for

persons with disability, basic social services are
less likely to reach them. Part B of the IDMS Tool
consists of questions for profiling of persons with
disability. Data on the sector’s registration status,
employment status, skills and education, and
resources needed are some of questions included
in the tool. These information, when analyzed
vis-à-vis the results of the CRA, could paint a
clearer picture of the real situation of persons with
disability in the community.

IDMS GUIDEBOOK 64
 Persons with disability are given roles in the
5
implementation of the plan

Aside from the roles of barangay officials, and
local government units and agencies, the QAT
also looks at the role that families and sectoral
groups play in the implementation of the PPAs.
The level of participation of persons with disability
in local governance can be gleaned from the
responses in Part E (Participation in Governance)
of the IDMS tool. Part E also includes responses
that identify the trainings received by the
members of the community (Question no. 36) on
livelihood and trade, governance, and emergency
preparedness. A thorough knowledge of the skills
and capacities available for the LGU to tap can
help them assign roles to persons with disability
easily.

Persons with disability have roles and responsibilities in the

6
monitoring and evaluation

65 IDMS GUIDEBOOK
Part E also takes note of DRR-related experience
and training members of the community have
received in the last three years. This includes
coordination, information management and
sharing, communication, evacuation, food and
relief goods packaging, service delivery, and
transportation.
The QAT emphasizes the potential contributions
of the sector in not only the development and
implementation of the DRRM plan, but also in its
Appropriateness of Early Warning System (EWS)
7
for persons with disability
Early warning systems in both the municipal/city
and barangay-level can be made more accessible
for persons with disability by incorporating
accessible signals for the various impairments
present in the community. This means that sirens
or auditory warnings could be paired with visual
signals such as color-coded flags or any alternate
accessible formats.
The IDMS Tool collects detailed information
regarding the types of disability present in the
barangay (Question no. 22). This could help
monitoring and evaluation; hence, mechanisms
must be in place so they can partake in
governance. After all, the Section V on the Role
of Stakeholders, under Paragraph 36(a) of the
Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction
(SFDRR) 2015-2030 ‘recognizes the critical role
of persons with disabilities and their organizations
in the assessment of disaster risk, as well as the
design and implementation of plans that are in
line with the principles of universal design.’
the barangay and LGU in ensuring that EWS
are appropriate for the community’s vulnerable
population. Responses to the population’s main
sources of disaster preparedness information
(Question no. 47) can also be examined to
determine the channels that the barangay and
LGU can take advantage of to disseminate and
raise awareness around how the local EWS
works.

 Recommendations for
improvement of the plan
Those are only some of the parameters that are
included in the Quality Assessment Tool (QAT) to
evaluate the quality of BDRRMPs (You may refer
to the full texts included in the tool from the IDMS
Resource Materials). LGUs are encouraged to
peruse the whole document and examine all the
key elements and the criteria that go with them.
List down all the key elements where your current
BDRRMP scored poorly and take note of any
recommendations that will help improve the

Programs, Projects, and Activities
(PPAs) per thematic area
The main aim of IDMS is to promote the inclusion
of persons with disabilities in planning, budgeting,
and other development processes of local
government and agencies particularly in DRRM.
The collected and recorded information on
disability and disaster risk reduction and
management must be highlighted in the PPAs of
not only the local DRRM plans, but in other local
development plans as well, given the modest 5%
budget allocation for local DRRM fund. Integration
of the BDRRMP in the approved barangay
development plan and annual investment plan
allows the barangay in identifying other possible
sources of funds to cater to the specific needs
and concerns of the sector, thereby reinforcing
the community’s preparedness and response
capacities. Samples of PPAs per thematic area
can be found on pp. 75-82.
Conclusion
We have tackled each of the steps included in
the IDMS process — building a KoboToolbox
account, using its mobile application on an
Android device, training enumerators in data
collection, data management, and analysis, and
integrating IDMS with LGU or barangay planning
— to achieve the goal of giving voice and service
to the disability sector.
Keep in mind that your LGU or barangay will only
be able to implement the IDMS project once the
following have been completed or are in place:
• The IDMS Tool has been uploaded
and deployed in the main KoboToolbox
account that will be used in the data
collection project;
• The caretakers are confident in
managing, analyzing, and interpreting
data using the KoboToolbox and
Microsoft Excel;
• The KoboCollect app is installed on
android devices and the IDMS Tool is
ready to use.
• Training and lots of field practice for
enumerators;
• Organizations that work with people with
disabilities are part of the BDC-TWG or
are accredited member of the councils in
the barangay or local government unit.
We hope that this guidebook provided the users a
clear grasp of what the IDMS entails and inspired
among them creative ideas and strategies how it
can be adopted into their own setting and context.
Changing the system by which any organization
operates on will always be challenging. This
arduous task entails collaborative efforts between
and among disability actors in a community, their
dedication, and their conscious decision not to
revert to the old practices which are easier and
convenient, but often leads to generic proposals,
inadequate budget allocations, and execution.
We all must work together to make sure that
disaggregated data on disability are updated
regularly and that data collection, analysis, and
management is sustained (until it becomes a
common practice).
The more we exercise steps on IDMS, the more
persons with disabilities will be given space
and opportunities to actively take part in our
democracies. They must be heard and seen
so that they are able to effectively influence
policies and government actions that affect them,
understand their full potential, and be at forefront
of the positive social changes we’d like to see in
our society.

 Annexes IDMS and COVID-19
On March 12, 2020, President Rodrigo Duterte ordered the observation of
community quarantine in the National Capital Region (NCR) following an
increase of Coronavirus or commonly called Covid-19 cases in the region.
On March 16, this was changed into an enhanced community quarantine
(ECQ) across Luzon.

Have you received support/feedback When asked if they already received support
from your LGUs? or feedback from their LGUs, more than half
of the respondents said they are yet to receive
assistance as of April 21, 2020. This is according
to respondents from over 800 municipalities/
cities all over the Philippines who had access to
the survey.
In Las Piñas, particularly, only 25% of the
1,710 Yes respondents — or 69 out of 207 — said they
have received any type of relief from their
2,510 No barangay or local government units.

 Lessons learned
The implementation of community lockdown
was startling for most LGUs. Communities were
poorly prepared for emergency crises such as
the Covid-19 pandemic. In a country exposed to
several hazards, both human-made and natural;
health crises of this magnitude are hardly talked
about, revealing serious and harrowing realities
beleaguering the country’s response capacity
and management of health risks. Still, there are
lessons to be picked up by different levels of
government from the experience, especially the
health sector.
Assessing the needs of persons with
disability
In any type of hazard or emergency, there
must be tools and survey questions that are
readily available to be used for rapid needs
assessment of the sectors most vulnerable in
the situation. Simple surveys that pinpoint their
immediate needs will provide LGUs clear grasp
of the types of support and services they must
provide to their most vulnerable constituents.
The advantage of IDMS and the availability of
data to inform government decisions especially
in crisis situations could not be stressed enough.
In the data collected from Brgy. Ilaya in Las Piñas
City during the tool’s pilot testing, medicines,
assistive devices, and therapy are three of the
top needs of persons with disability that surfaced.
These remained true even during the community

quarantine where public transportations were
suspended and economic activities stifled.
As a result, the need for financial support and
accessible transportation increased making it a
top priority during the community quarantine.
Data-informed responses
Online data collection tools have greatly helped
in acquiring data from various places especially
during the lockdown. However, access to the
internet remains to be a challenge in a lot of
places in the country. Exploring other ways of
collecting data during pandemic or lockdowns
should also be given careful consideration.
There are many tools for data visualization
available online. They update instantaneously
as answers come in. This enables other local
government units, individuals, groups, agencies,
or organizations have access to the data being
collected for data-informed immediate responses.
Leave no one behind
Using the data collected from the quick survey
via web, CDP also launched online petition and
sent letters to local chief executives to call for
the urgent inclusion of persons with disabilities
in their COVID-19 response, in coordination with
several organizations working with and for the
disability sector.
The petition contained specific measures to be
undertaken by LGUs to ensure that persons with
disabilities and their households are taken into
account in the social protection measures.
They were encouraged to utilize all available data
on persons with disability such as:
a. The Listahanan database of the Department
of Social Welfare and Development as main
source of information of who are persons with
disabilities;
b. The records of every LGU issuing Persons with
Disability ID cards to complement the database
of Listahanan;
c. The data of organizations of persons with
disabilities, organizations of parents of children
with disabilities, and organizations for persons
and children with disabilities to complement the
database of Listahanan.
Given the absence of reliable data to account for
persons with disability, basic social services are
less likely to reach them; more so during disaster
situations.
To ensure that people who are very vulnerable
are not left out, communities and local
government units must adopt a data management
system that would facilitate the accurate,
comprehensive, and complete collection of data
about them. It’s only through understanding our
community’s problems that we are able to see
clearly how best to serve them.
