A. General procedure
B. Details in Form 1 preparation
C. Evaluation Criteria for the Inclusion of PAPs in the
RDIP
Legal Bases

• Executive Order (EO) No. 230, series of 1987 – NEDA tasked

to coordinate the formulation of, among others, public
investment programs (participatory process)

• President’s SONA on July 25, 2022 – NEDA to “coordinate

with other agencies and work on the Philippine Development
Plan (PDP), 2023 to 2028”

• Guidelines for the Formulation of the PDP and Regional

Development Plans (RDP) 2023-2028 (NEDA, 16 Sep. 2022)
– separate supplemental guidelines for RDIP formulation as
an accompanying document of the RDP
Legal Bases

• DBM, DOF, and NEDA Joint Circular No. 2017-1 - NEDA was
tasked to spearhead the formulation/preparation of
development planning and investment programming reports

• Section 4c of Executive Order (EO) No. 325, series of 1996 –

one of the functions of the RDC is to review, prioritize, and
endorse to the national government the annual and multi-year
sectoral investment programs of the region for funding and
implementation
The RDIP

• Accompanying document of the RDP

• Contains the priority PAPs of RLAs, SUCs, GOCCs, and GFIs

• Flagship LGU PAPs - locally funded and have significant

impact to a particular sector or to the whole region, e.g., inter-
LGU PAPs, public-private partnerships (PPP), innovative
programs, best practices in governance, and other successful
development interventions that will contribute significantly to
regional development
The RDIP

• Accounts for EO 138, series of 2021, and its IRR (Full

Devolution…)
– Provide or improve public services that have significant benefits
or costs to multiple local government units;

– Provide or improve public goods and services that involve

economies of scale;

– Are related to the redistributive role of government; and

– Provide development support to LGUs to strengthen their

capacities and capabilities to fully assume and deliver at par with
set standards their devolved functions based on R.A. 7160 and
other relevant laws
The RDIP

• Responds to the SDGs

• Gender Mainstreaming - Integrates RDC-1 Resolution No. 102, s.

2020, Guidelines for Mainstreaming GAD in the Regional
Development and Annual Investment Programs

• Contains:
– Core and Non-Core Investment Programs or Projects;
– TRIP
– Major PAPs identified in the RDP
Why formulate the RDIP?
The RDIP, 2023-2038, is being formulated to:

1. Serve as a tool in strengthening the link among planning,

investment programming, budgeting and monitoring and
evaluation;

2. Serve as a basis for consideration of PAPs for PPP or Joint

Venture schemes, Official Development Assistance, or for
public sector resource allocation;

3. Serve as a basis in monitoring public investment performance

in terms of progress towards achieving the goals and targets
under the RDP 2023 to 2028 and its RM, and the Sustainable
Development Goals;
Why formulate the RDIP?

The RDIP, 2023-2038, is being formulated to:

4. Incorporate the implications of EO 138, series of 2021,

Full Devolution of Certain Functions of the Executive
Branch to Local Governments, Creation of a Committee
on Devolution, and for Other Purposes, and its IRR in
the investment programming process at the regional
level; and

5. Continue the mainstreaming of GAD in the public

investment programs of the region.
