SPI proudly recognizes its role in steering local development by actively participating in efforts to enhance the capacity of local development mechanisms in addressing critical social development issues and concerns. Recently, the CBMS (Community-Based Monitoring System) results for Villanueva were officially turned over after its launching in 2022.

The Villanueva CBMS program, in partnership with DILG, PSA, LGU, and SPI, encompasses comprehensive activities such as household surveys, data processing, analysis, and developmental planning. These efforts aim to formulate evidence-based poverty reduction plans and strategies.

SPI continues to support help build the capacities of its institutional and community partners and help in fostering sustainable development and improving the quality of life for the residents of Villanueva.
