| Summary: | The objective of this assessment of the
Philippine Statistical Development Plan (PSDP) is to provide
recommendations on how to improve the preparation,
implementation, coordination, monitoring, and evaluation of
the next PSDP during 2011-16. The report also gives two
approaches to getting better treatment for the Philippine
Statistical System (PSS) from the Department of Budget and
Management (DBM), which supervises personnel levels under
Executive Order (EO) 366. One is to petition for the
earliest possible approval of the rationalization plans
submitted by the Major Statistical Agencies (MSAs), inasmuch
as the effects of EO 366 are much more benign after than
before the approval of a rationalization plan. The other is
to lobby with the National Economic and Development
Authority (NEDA) for a declaration that statistics are a
priority need, so that statistical development begins to be
seen as a tool for improved governance and not as a
regrettable burden on the budget. In addition, the report
examines to what extent and how donor agencies could help
with the financing of the next PSDP. Finally, with regard to
the design of the next PSDP, the report recommends a much
briefer document of about 100 pages than the most recent one
with 700 pages. This can be achieved in part by relying more
explicitly on the multi-year plans of the MSAs, so that the
PSDP can focus on strategic issues, key priorities and
budget requirements, cross-sectoral issues, and the
development of statistical activities outside the MSAs. |
