to DILG-NEDA-DBM-DOF JMC No. 1 series of 2007: Guidelines on the Harmonization of Local
Planning, Investment Programming, Revenue Administration, Budgeting and Expenditure
Management.
3) The GAD planning and budgeting process shall be incorporated in the Comprehensive Land Use
Plan (CLUP), Comprehensive Development Plan (CDP), Annual Investment Program, the
Executive-Legislative Agenda (ELA), Provincial Development and Physical Framework Plan
(PDPFP) and in sector plans, e.g. disaster risk reduction and management (DRRM) plan. It shall also
be guided by the desired outcomes and goals embodied in the MCW, the PPGD, other GAD-related
laws, policies and term plans as well as in the UN CEDAW and other relevant international
commitments.
4) In identifying GAD PPAs, LGUs shall at all times give priority to those that will address emerging
and/or continuing issues and concerns on:
a) Provision of basic services and facilities to protect and fulfill womens human rights,
including their right to protection from all forms of violence;

policies and programs and ensure transparent, accountable, participatory and inclusive governance
resulting to direct, immediate and substantial benefits for the poor.
C.2 Steps in Formulating the LGU GAD Plan and Budget (GPB)
1) In consultation with local functionaries and stakeholders, the LGU GFPS shall set the GAD agenda
or identify priority gender issues to be addressed by the LGU during the three-year term of its
leadership. The GAD agenda shall be the basis for the annual formulation of PPAs to be included in
the LGU GPB. The GAD agenda or the priority gender issues, mandates and targets may be derived
from the following:
i. Review of GAD-related laws and policies relevant to the LGU such as those mentioned in
Section 2.0 and item C.1.4 of this JMC;
ii. Results of gender analysis and/or gender assessment using the sex-disaggregated
data/information from the LGU GAD database, the Ecological Profile, the CBMS and/or
LGPMS and NHTS-PR as well as information from major programs and services of the
LGU that reflect the gender gaps and/or issues faced by program/service beneficiaries,
women and men constituents and employees.
iii. Results of program and project evaluation in terms of benefits to target beneficiaries; and
iv. Review of findings from the audit of GAD funds and GAD ARs to surface remaining gender
issues that have not been addressed in previous GPBs.
2) Identify appropriate PPAs to address priority gender issues that are included in the GPB. PPAs may
be client-focused or those addressing gender mainstreaming in regular/flagship PPAs; as well as
organization-focused or those addressing gender issues of the LGU and its personnel.
3) The GAD Budget is prepared based on the estimated costs of functions and PPAs translated from the
demands/commitments identified in the GAD Plan.
4) Fill out the GPB and GAD AR forms. (Refer to Annex D: Guide in Completing the LGU GAD
Plan and Budget Form; and Annex E: Guide in Completing the LGU GAD Accomplishment
Report Form).
C.3 Costing and Allocation of the GAD Budget
1) At least five percent (5%) of the total LGU budget appropriations authorized under the Annual
Budget shall correspond to activities supporting GAD PPAs. The GAD budget shall be drawn from
the LGUs maintenance and other operating expenses (MOOE), capital outlay (CO), and personal
services (PS). The GAD budget shall not constitute an additional budget over an LGUs total budget
appropriations.
The five percent (5%) GAD budget shall endeavor to influence the remaining 95% of the LGU
budget toward gender-responsiveness.
2) Pursuant to Section 37A.1c of the MCW-IRR, the GAD budget may be allocated using any or a
combination of the following:
i.
ii.
iii.
As a separate GAD fund to support GAD-focused PPAs;

As fund to support integrating gender perspectives in regular/flagship programs and projects;
and
As counterpart fund to support gender-responsive ODA-funded projects.
3) The LGU GFPS shall annually monitor and evaluate the utilization and outcome of the GAD budget
in terms of its success in influencing the gender-responsive implementation of PPAs funded by the
-7-
remaining 95% of the LGU budget (MCW Chapter VI, Sec. 36); the results of which shall be
reflected in the forms prescribed in Section 5.0 of this JMC.
4) LGUs with ODA-funded projects shall allocate five (5) to thirty (30) percent of ODA funds received
from foreign governments and multilateral agencies to support gender-responsive PPAs, provided
that the same are aligned with the purpose of the foreign grant and/or the grant agreements between
the LGU and the Grantor.
C.4 Attribution to the GAD Budget
5) Attributing LGU programs and projects including ODA-funded projects to the GAD budget:
a. To gradually increase the gender-responsiveness of LGU programs and projects, the LGU may
attribute a portion or whole of their budgets to the GAD budget supporting gender-responsive
PPAs. To facilitate this, the LGU shall conduct a gender analysis of their programs and projects
through the administration of the HGDG.
b. If the LGU is not trained on the HGDG, it may propose a training program on the HGDG in its
GPB for the incoming year and may seek the assistance of a gender analysis specialist/expert in
the use of and/or administration of the HGDG.
c. The administration of the HGDG will yield a maximum score of 20 points for each program or
project. Based on the HGDG score, a percentage of the budget of the LGUs existing and
proposed regular or flagship program/project may be attributed to the GAD budget. The
attribution is guided as follows:

the program may be attributed to the
GAD budget
d. Based on its initial result in the HGDG, the LGU will set its target score for a particular program
or project. For example, the program or project was rated 4.0 in the HGDG and the LGU would
like to achieve a score of 6.0 for said program or project at the end of the year. Hence, the LGU
should subsequently plan and estimate the cost of interventions (or cost of gender
mainstreaming) to achieve its target. The cost of interventions in making the program or project
reach a higher score in the HGDG shall be included in the LGU GPB.
e. During the preparation of its GAD AR, the LGU will again administer the HGDG test to
determine the extent that the targeted HGDG score is attained. This score will be the basis in
determining actual expenditure that can be attributed to the GAD budget. In the example above,
if the LGU has an HGDG score of 8 (higher than its target), it can attribute 50% of the programs
budget to the actual GAD expenditure.
f. The cost of interventions to mainstream GAD in programs and projects, including those that are
funded by ODA may be attributed to the GAD budget.

ANNEX B: DATA REQUIREMENTS FOR THE LGU GAD DATABASE

Section 37 of the MCW-IRR mandates all LGUs to develop and maintain LGU GAD Database as source
of information for gender-responsive planning, programming and policy formulation. On the other hand,
the DILGs Guide to Ecological Profiling encourages national government agencies operating in the LGU
to provide guide/tools in developing indicators specific to various development/sectoral issues and
concerns, which in this case, refers to gender issues and concerns.
To set up the GAD Database, the LGU may utilize its existing database, planning and data-gathering tools
and management information systems to generate gender statistics, age and sex-disaggregated data and
other GAD-related information from primary and secondary sources of data such as surveys, studies,
focus group discussion (FGD) results, progress reports, monitoring and evaluation results and ODA
reports1.
The LGU GFPS and the DILG Operations Field Officer assigned to the LGU shall assist the Local
Planning Development Office (LPDO) in the generation and processing of sex-disaggregated data and
GAD-related information. Other data-producing LGU departments and national government agencies
operating at the local level with regional and/or local presence shall be tapped by the LPDO to provide
sex-disaggregated information to complement the GAD database.
Provinces, cities and municipalities shall build their capacities on the establishment and maintenance of
their respective GAD Database, to enable them to assist, coach or mentor the barangays within their
jurisdiction. Barangays shall make use of existing data-gathering tools, forms and methodologies for the
collection of sex-disaggregated barangay data. The same shall feed into the city and municipal GAD
databases for processing, consolidation and analysis. Likewise, information from the GAD databases of
cities and municipalities shall be consolidated and fed into the GAD databases of provinces.
Purpose of the LGU GAD Database
As gender statistics and GAD-related information are crucial for evidenced-based planning and
policymaking, the LGU GAD Database shall serve the following purposes:
1) To aid in gender analysis of the LGU situation by surfacing gender gaps and/or differences
among women and men in terms of their access to basic services and facilities, control of
resources and enjoyment of rights, privileges, benefits and rewards.
Information resulting from gender analysis shall be considered and integrated into the LGU GAD
Plan and Budget, gender-responsive CLUP/CDP/ELA and the LGU GAD Code as provided for in
this JMC.
2) To inform the LGU on the extent of implementation and/or attainment of gender equality and
womens empowerment goals and outcomes.
The GAD Database shall help monitor progress made in the implementation of international
commitments and national laws on GAD, including the results of said implementation.
3) To provide baseline data on the status of women and men in the LGU as provided for in Section
41 of the MCW-IRR. The process of coming up with the baseline report shall be guided by this
JMC and/or determined by concerned oversight agencies.
The LGU GAD Database contains the minimum GAD indicators matched with the biophysical,
socioeconomic, cultural and built environment components of the LGU Ecological Profile (EP)2 (Refer to
the Tables below).
The GAD indicators are derived from the sectoral and gender mainstreaming provisions of the MCW-IRR,
the Core GAD indicators and the Gender-responsive LGU Ka Ba (GeRL Ka Ba) Self-Assessment. On the

1|Page
other hand, demographic and social development indicators are drawn from CBMS, LGPMS and dataproducing agencies such as the NSO, NSCB, DSWD and DepEd.
LGUs are encouraged to exhaust all available resources for the collection and processing of data
requirements of the GAD Database. The absence of certain data requirements should not prevent them
from developing their GAD Database.

ANNEX D: GUIDE IN COMPLETING THE GAD PLAN AND BUDGET FORM

Note: The form at the end of this section guides the LGU in preparing its GAD plan and budget. Specific examples
are provided as each column is discussed.
Column 1: Gender Issue and/or GAD Mandate

The priority gender issues identified through the LGUs review of its flagship or regular programs,
analysis of sex-disaggregated data or relevant information that surface the unequal situation of women
and men will be listed in this column. The gender issue could be client-or organization-focused. A clientfocused gender issue refers to concerns arising from the unequal status of women and men stakeholders,
clients, and or constituents of LGUs including the extent of their disparity over benefits from and
contribution to a policy/program and/or project of the LGU. Examples include lack of access of
marginalized and indigent women to social protection programs and services of the LGU on health. On
the other hand, an organization-focused gender issue points to the gap/s in the capacity of the LGU to
integrate a gender dimension in its programs, systems or structure. An example is the slow progress of
gender mainstreaming in the LGU.
Aside from the priority gender issues, the LGU may directly cite relevant specific provisions from GADrelated laws (e.g. R.A. 9710 or the Magna Carta of Women) or plans that it needs to implement (e.g.
establishment of VAW desks in every barangay).
The GAD Focal Point System (GFPS) shall prioritize in the LGUs succeeding GAD plan and budget
(GPB) the following: a) recurring gender issues; b) results of the assessment of existing programs using
the HGDG, GERL Ka Ba Self-Assessment and other relevant tools; and c) gender issues and concerns
that have not been addressed in the previous years GPB.
Column 2: Cause of the Gender Issue
Gender analysis proceeds from identifying the issue (what?) to explaining the issue (why the issue?). It is
important to establish the cause or causes of the issue to ensure that the GAD program or activity will
directly address the gender issue leading to its gradual or complete elimination.
In the first example given in the GPB template, the LGU should first surface the reason why there is lack
of access of marginalized and indigent women to social protection programs and or services of the LGU.
Is it because these women are not aware of these programs or there is lack of information dissemination
campaign on these programs, thus, women are not aware of such?
In the organization-focused issue, the LGU needs to surface the reason why there is slow progress of
gender mainstreaming in the LGU. Is it because there is no GFPS or a similar GAD mechanism to lead
gender mainstreaming in the LGU or there is lack of support on GAD initiatives from LGU officials?
Please remember that it may take more than one activity or program to address one gender issue, and
some gender issues may take longer than one year to address, hence, some activities may recur or be
implemented in a progressive manner until the issue is completely addressed. On the other hand, it is
possible that one program may address several gender issues or causes of a gender issue.
Column 3: GAD Objective
The GAD objective should respond to the gender issue including its cause or implement the specific GAD
mandates relevant to the LGU. It spells out the result that the LGU intends to achieve. It may also be the
intended result of the GAD mandate the LGU intends to implement. The objective must be specific,
measurable, attainable, realistic and time-bound. In addressing a gender issue, it is possible that the GAD
objective could not be realized in one planning period. Thus, the LGU may plan related GAD activities to
achieve the same objective over several planning periods until the GAD objective or targeted result is
achieved.
In the client-focused example, the short term GAD objective may be to increase and sustain access of
marginalized and indigent women constituents to social protection programs and services of the LGU.
In the organization-focused example, the GAD objective may be to facilitate and sustain gender
mainstreaming in the LGU and thus address the gap of the LGU in integrating gender dimension in its
1|Page
programs and or services. If facilitating gender mainstreaming cannot be achieved in one year, the LGU
may plan related activities until such time that the objective is achieved.
Column 4: Relevant LGU PPA
This column indicates the relevant PPAs of the LGU that can be integrated with gender perspective to
respond to the gender issues and/or implement the specific GAD mandate/s identified in Column 1. This
ensures that gender perspective is mainstreamed and sustained in the LGUs mandates and regular
programs.
Column 5: GAD Activity
Similar to the GAD objective, the proposed GAD activities should respond to the gender issue including
its cause/s or implement the specific GAD mandates relevant to the LGU.
The proposed GAD activity, which can either be client- or organization-focused, should be stated as
clearly as possible to facilitate budgeting.
Client-focused GAD activities are activities that seek to address the gender issues of the LGUs
constituents or contribute in responding to the gender issues and concerns in the LGU. For example, to
respond to the identified gender issue and/or cause of the gender issue, the LGU may implement or
conduct the following: a) conduct massive information education campaign on the social protection
program or scheme; b) assist in the enrollment of the marginalized and indigent women to the Philhealth
scheme; and c) promulgate and implement an ordinance on the access of women to social protection
program of the LGUs.
Organization-focused activities may seek to: a) create the organizational environment for implementing
gender-responsive policies, programs, projects and services; b) address the gap in knowledge, skills and
attitudes of key personnel on gender mainstreaming; and c) address the gender issues of employees in the
workplace subject to the mandate of the organization. For example, to respond to the identified gender
issue on the slow progress of gender mainstreaming in the LGU, it may implement the following: a)
issuance of an executive order for the creation and/or strengthening of the GFPS or similar mechanism; b)
creation and/or strengthening of the GFPS in the LGU; and c) institutionalization of gender-responsive
PPAs in the LGU.
LGUs shall give priority to client-focused GAD activities. However, LGUs who are in the early stages of
gender mainstreaming shall give premium to capacity development of the GFPS and/or similar GAD
mechanism and LGU employees on GAD concepts and principles (e.g. gender sensitivity, gender audit,
gender analysis, gender-responsive planning and budgeting, gender-responsive project design and
implementation and institutional strengthening, among others).
The gender issues to be addressed (Column 1); the cause of the gender issue (Column 2), the GAD result
objective (Column 3) and the proposed GAD activity (Column 5) should be aligned to ensure effective
GAD planning and budgeting.
Column 6: Performance Indicator
The performance indicators are quantitative or qualitative means to measure achievement of the results of
the proposed activity and how they contribute to the realization of the GAD objective.
Quantitative indicators are measures or evidence that can be counted such as, but not limited to, number,
frequency, percentile, and ratio. In relation to the example above, the indicator could be number of
marginalized and indigent women enrolled in the Philhealth scheme.
Qualitative indicators are measures of an individual or groups judgment and/ or perception of established
standards, the presence or absence of specific conditions, the quality of something, or the opinion about
something (e.g. gender-responsive policy guidelines on the requirements for marginalized and indigent
women to access the social protection programs of the LGU).

2|Page
Column 7: Performance Target

The target is an important consideration in budgeting for it specifies what the LGUs GPB intends to
achieve within one year in relation to the GAD objective. The target should be realistic and attainable
within the implementation period and should be set against a baseline data. Monitoring and evaluating the
GPB will largely be based on attainment of targets and performance indicators.
For example, to increase the access of marginalized and indigent women constituents to social protection
programs, the LGU may set the following targets: e.g. a) x number of IEC campaigns on the social
protection program or scheme conducted by end of the year; b) x number of marginalized and indigent
women assisted in the enrollment to the Philhealth scheme by 1st quarter; and c) ordinance on the access
of women to social protection program of the LGUs issued by end of the year.
Column 8: GAD Budget
The GAD budget is the cost of implementing the GAD plan. For more realistic budgeting, the cost of
implementing each activity should be estimated by object of expenditure.
For example, if the LGU conducts a massive information dissemination campaign on its social protection
programs, it should cost the supplies for the development, printing and dissemination of the IEC
materials, transportation in the conduct of the information campaign, if information campaign is through a
forum or consultations, food for x number of persons for x number of days, professional fee for resource
persons, communication costs for coordination, among others. It is possible that certain activities do not
have direct cost implications.
The GAD budget may be drawn from the LGUs maintenance and other operating expenses (MOOE),
capital outlay (CO), and/or personal services (PS) based on the LGUs approved budget. All LGUs shall
allocate at least five percent (5%) of their annual budget appropriations to support their respective GAD
PPAs.
In determining what can or cannot be charged to the GAD budget, the primary consideration is the
gender issue being addressed by the expense or activity.
EXAMPLES OF EXPENSES THAT CAN BE CHARGED TO THE GAD BUDGET

1. Programs, projects, activities (PPAs) included in the DILG-approved LGU GAD plan, including
relevant expenses such as supplies, travel, food, board and lodging, professional fees, among others;
2. Capacity development on GAD (e.g. Gender Sensitivity Training; Gender Analysis, Genderresponsive Planning and Budgeting, among others.);
3. Activities related to the establishment and/strengthening of enabling mechanisms that support the
GAD efforts of LGUs (e.g. GAD Focal Point System, VAW desks, among others);
4. Salaries of LGU personnel assigned to plan, implement and monitor GAD PPAs on a full-time basis,
following government rules in hiring and creating positions;
5. Time spent by LGU GAD Focal Point System members or LGU employees doing GAD related work.
Overtime work rendered in doing GAD related PPAs may be compensated through a compensatory
time off (CTO), following government accounting and auditing rules and regulations;
6. Salaries of police women and men assigned to womens desks;
7. Salaries of personnel hired to manage/operate the GAD Office, if established;
8. LGU programs that address womens practical and strategic needs (e.g. day care center, breastfeeding
rooms, crisis or counseling rooms for abused women and children, halfway houses for trafficked
women and children, gender-responsive family planning program, among others);

3|Page
9. Construction expenses for the following :

a) Day care center , b) VAWC Center, c) Halfway Houses for trafficked women and girls, d)
Women crisis center
10. Consultations conducted by LGUs to gather inputs for and/or to disseminate the GAD plan and
budget;
11. Payment of professional fees, honoraria and other services for gender experts or gender specialists
engaged by LGUs for GAD-related trainings and activities; and
12. IEC activities (development, printing and dissemination) that support the GAD PPAs and objectives
of the LGUs.
The expenditures although allowed, must still follow government accounting rules and regulations.
EXAMPLES OF EXPENSES THAT CAN NOT BE CHARGED TO THE GAD BUDGET

1. Programs, projects, activities (PPAs) that are not in the LGUs DILGapproved GAD plan;
2. Personal services of women employees unless they are working full time or part time on GAD PPAs;
3. Honoraria for LGUs GFPS members or other employees working on their LGU GAD programs;
4. Salaries of casual or emergency employees UNLESS they are hired to assist in GAD-related PPAs;
5. Provision of contingency funds or other services of PPAs; and
6.
Purchase of supplies, materials, equipment and vehicles for the general use of the LGU.
7. The following expenses CAN NOT be charged to the GAD budget UNLESS they are justified as
clearly addressing a specific gender issue:
a) Physical, mental and health fitness including purchase of supplies, materials, equipment and
information dissemination materials;
b) Social, rest and recreation activities; and
c) Religious activities and implementation of cultural projects;
To be able to attribute the cost of gender mainstreaming in a regular program of an LGU, it may assess
the program or project using the Harmonized GAD Guidelines (HGDG). The program or project should
be assessed at two levels: 1) the design of the project or program, using the original/revised design
documents; and 2) at the project/program implementation, management, and monitoring and evaluation
(PIMME). For guidance to the assessment of the design, the LGU can use the generic checklist (Box 7a)
or a relevant sector-specific checklist. For the PIMME, use Boxes 16 and 17 found in the GAD
Checklists for Project Implementation and Management, and Monitoring and Evaluation. Depending on
the HGDG score, the LGU may use the rating in Table 1 of the JMC 2013-01 to estimate the cost that
may be attributed to the GAD budget.
Column 9: Office of Primary Responsibility (OPR)

This column specifies the unit or office within the LGU tasked to implement a particular GAD activity.
The responsible unit shall have direct knowledge or involvement in GAD PPAs and shall periodically
report on the progress of implementing its assigned tasks to the LGUs LCE and/ or GFPS.
