SUMMARY AND NEXT STEPS

  1. LPRAP
  • Open Forum/ Panel: DBM – NAPC – NEDA – DSWD – DILG
  • On whether or not the same beneficiaries will be covered in the next cycle or judged by 2013 performance: there will be updating by NSCB of the list of poor municipalities before the next budget cycle, and LGUs will have to earn the Seal of Good Housekeeping, based on unmet needs
  • On submitted/ priority projects not included in the menu, NAPC will still try to consider them depending on the quality. Even projects in the menu may not be funded as they will be assessed
  • On additional funding from NGAs to support LPRAP, this will be known after considering all the other budgets. As of now, there is 9B available for the 609 municipalities. There will be subsequent processes on identifying project design, costing, tracking.
  • On stimulus funds and LPRAP funds: Stimulus fund is released based on the criteria of the DILG while the LPRAP funds will be released if you meet the following requirements: the plan, seal of good housekeeping, other criteria spelled-out in the joint circular.
  • Sharing of experience on LPRAP
  • Midsayap, North Cotabato: NATULARAN MU – Building Alliance for Peace – Strengthening the Inter-Barangay Alliance for Community Peace, Disputes (Rido), and Land Conflict Settlement/ Resolution
  • Bohol Local Development Foundation: lessons learned – legal mandates from national level; political leadership at local level; common framework to facilitate cooperation of all sectors; two-pronged strategy consisting of effective service delivery and provision of livelihood assistance; meaningful participation of the people especially the target communities and households; focus on priority groups (children, elderly,physically challenged,poorest of the poor, basic sectors, those in conflict situations); focus on poverty landscapes and areas vulnerable to natural disasters.
  1. TA Plans + Partnerships (with CSOs, N/RGAs, Academe, other institutions)
  • Briefing/ feedback to Mayors and Local Development Councils
  • Consolidation of sectoral/ thematic TA Plans
  • Review of TA Plans: Either one-on-one thru joint visits of UNICEF, N/RGAs, and Provincial LGUs or by exchange of emails
  • Finalization and submission of TA Plans: period between end of April and first week of May.
  • TA Plans will serve as inputs to the 2 year Rolling Workplans of NGAs
  1. Monitoring and Evaluation
  • RPMES to be operationalized at the municipal / city level:
  • Establish local (municipal) Project Monitoring Committee (PMC)
  • Identify support needed from regional and national DILG, NEDA, UNICEF
  • UNICEF to provide baseline in 21 municipalities (2012 Multiple Indicator Survey [MIS])
  • LGU Dashboard
  • LGU counterpart: provide resources for monitoring (bottom-up budgeting) – PMCs and monitoring plans
