III. What are the Key Issues to be Emphasized
Under the P-Noy Administration?
1. Convergence in Performance-Based
Governance
2. Participation in Governance- Sustainability
and Scale
9
1. Convergence in Performance-Based
Governance
a) Measure, Disclose, Incentivize
b) De-emphasize entitlements (example:
IRA), and avoid politicized incentives
c) Draw in other line agencies, donors, CSOs
and other partners
10
d) Performance Challenge Fund (PCF)
- Fund too small to provide significant
incentive
- Already incentivizes basic governance
processes
(Planning, Fiscal mgt, Transparency,
Performance Monitoring)
11
e) Local Governance Performance
Management System (LGPMS)
- Covers both processes and outcomes
- But no incentives
- Achieving outcomes is a challenge for
most LGUs
- No 3rd party validation
- Move towards combining and
rationalizing PCF, LGPMS, and other similar
initiatives, and incentivizing outcomes
12
f) CSO Policy Recommendations on
Governance*
- Public Disclosure Policy for Executive
Department
- Semi-Annual Public Reporting for
Executive Agencies and LGUs
- Genuine NGO/PO Representation in
LDCs/LSBs
- CSO Participation in Budget Formulation,
Legislation, Execution, and Accountability
Process
* Citizen’s Roadmap for Poverty Reduction and Achieving the
MDGs: Recommendations for the 2010-2016 MTPDP
CODE-NGO, UNDP, FDC
13
f) CSO Policy Recommendations on
Governance*
- CSO Participation in Budget Formulation,
Legislation, Execution, and Accountability
Process
 All these recommendations are addressed
by Performance-Based Governance
* Citizen’s Roadmap for Poverty Reduction and Achieving the MDGs: Recommendations for
the 2010-2016 MTPDP
CODE-NGO, UNDP, FDC
14
g) Dilemma between rewarding performance
and assisting LGUs most in need
h) Convergence
- Achieving measurable outcomes
(example: poverty reduction) requires an
integrated approach
- LGUs are ideally suited for delivering
integrated services in a defined area
15
h) Convergence
- However, many line agencies have their
own delivery structures
- Also, some LGUs are not capable area
managers
- Explore ways to achieve convergence in
service delivery and performance
management
16
2. Participation in Governance – Sustainability
and Scale
a) Challenges
- CSOs few in number, lack knowledge in
local governance processes
- Participation often limited to funded
projects (unsustainable)
b) If we want sustained participation in
governance, the State needs to invest in it.
17
c) Government Support Program for CSO
Participation
- Explore the merits & possible design of
such a program
- Should promote capacity building of CSOs
in local governance
- Co-opting CSOs?
- Participation is emphasized in our
Constitution and in our laws
- Opportunity under P-Noy Administration
18
Strengthening performance-based
governance and people’s
participation are the major gains
we should look to achieve under
the P-Noy administration
