Why rationalize?

❑ to put rationality to the present state of local

planning in the country
❑ to comply with the applicable provisions of
R.A. 7160, its IRR, as well as subsequent
issuances
❑ to “reduce” or harmonize the plans that LGUs
are mandated to prepare
Why rationalize?
Why rationalize?

❑ for concerned NGAs to harmonize or dovetail their

sectoral requirements with the local development
planning process
❑ to reconfigure the planning process to accommodate
the imperatives of multi-stakeholder participation and
consultation
❑ to enhance the LGU’s capability in the performance of
its dual functions
Dual Role of LGUs
(1) As a POLITICAL SUBDIVISION of the National Government:

LGUs are in charge of the management of its entire geographical

territory for and in behalf of the national government

(2) As a CORPORATE BODY, LGUs are responsible for:

❑ Promoting the general welfare among the inhabitants within its

territorial jurisdiction; and
❑ Delivering basic services and facilities to enable its inhabitants to
develop fully into self-reliant communities

Participatory Consultative Inclusive

• Synchronized with the budgeting calendar

• Provides for opportunities for multi-stakeholder participation in every
step of the comprehensive development planning process through:
• Mobilization of the LDC and its sectoral and functional committees
• Interface between NGAs
• Complementation between and among the province and its
component cities and municipalities

election of the nine (9) CSO representatives who will serve on the L/PPRAC.
It is imperative that all participating CSOs are duly recognized, accredited, or
registered by a government agency to ensure their legitimacy and commitment
to the cause.
L/PPRAC Members Selection Process

In addition to these responsibilities, the CSO Assembly must

also devise a clear and fair mechanism for the replacement of
its elected representatives in the event of inability to serve,
incapacitation, or other unforeseen circumstances that may
hinder the performance of their duties. This mechanism
should be designed to ensure continuity and effectiveness in
the representation and advocacy of the CSOs within the
L/PPRAC.

LPRAP Formulation Step 1:
Revisit Existing Plans and Review
LGU Vision

Magna Carta of the Poor (MCP) – Local Poverty Reduction Action Plan (LPRAP)
Orientation-Seminar
Revisit Existing Plans and Review LGU Vision
The L/PPRAC shall conduct a thorough review and reassessment of
existing or previous L/PPRAPs, anti-poverty strategies and programs
including output targets, accomplishments, and outcome, or equivalent
documents, and relevant components of the CDP or Provincial
Development and Physical Framework Plan (PDPFP) and other plans.
The reassessment is intended to compile and draw relevant information
from existing programs, plans, and statistics relevant to the five (5)
fundamental rights.

The identified plans and programs should be organized according to the

five fundamental rights as provided for in the MCP.
LPRAP Formulation Step 2:
Poverty Profiling and Situation Analysis

Magna Carta of the Poor (MCP) – Local Poverty Reduction Action Plan (LPRAP)
Orientation-Seminar
Poverty Profiling and Situational Analysis

The Local Poverty Reduction Action Committee (L/PPRAC) is tasked

with conducting a comprehensive poverty situation assessment as part
of their Ecological Profile (EP) preparation. This assessment is
grounded in the plans and programs collected from the review of
existing plans and LGU vision, poverty agenda of the CSO
assembly/RBSCC, data generated from the Community-Based
Monitoring System (CBMS), and the most recent available poverty
data and statistics. If available, this data should be organized according
to the five fundamental rights indicators approved by the Philippine
Statistics Authority -Technical Committee on Poverty Statistics (TC-
PovStat).
Poverty Profiling and Situational Analysis
LGUs are encouraged to support the collection of a broad range of data from both
conventional sources, such as CBMS and PSA, and non-conventional sources. The
use of participatory approaches, such as Participatory Rapid Appraisal, which
involve the participation of civil society, is likewise encouraged.

Building and updating the planning database is a long-term and continuous activity
that should be integrated into the regular functions of the planning office. Prior to
the planning workshop, the local planning office, as the L/PPRAC Secretariat, must
gather the necessary information for evidence-based planning. If information and
data on the locality’s poverty situation is sparse, primary information gathering
must be conducted.
Poverty Profiling and Situational Analysis
Potential sources of information for poverty-focused planning include:

1. Ecological Profile
2. Community-Based Monitoring System (CBMS)
3. Local Governance Performance Management System (LGPMS)
4. National Household Targeting System (NHTS-PR) or Listahanan
5. Field Health Services Information System (FHSIS)
6. Registry System for Basic Sectors in Agriculture and National Farmers Registry System
7. Data sets from the Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA)
8. PSA Multidimensional Poverty Index
9. National Nutrition Council (NNC) Operation Timbang
10. Hazard Maps

Each of these resources provides valuable data and insights that can be used in assessing and addressing the poverty situation.
It must be noted that some data sources may require further coordination, such as the need for a memorandum of agreement to
which the NAPC may provide technical assistance, upon request. A more detailed list of resources can be found in the NAPC
Website and LPRAP IECs.

Evidence-based Approach in Expounding
Poverty Issues and Concerns
References for data and indicators for identified poverty issues and concerns

• Rationalized Planning Indicator Data Set (RaPIDS)

• Local Development Indicator System (LDIS)
• Other mandated LGU Plans
• National Government Agency Sectoral Plans and Statistics
• Data from the Philippine Statistics Authority

The PSA Technical Committee on Poverty Statistics will approve the final list of indicators,
which will be based on the Multidimensional Poverty Index. For this simulation, the selection of
indicators shall be made with a forward-looking perspective. The aim is to focus on aspects that
are truly relevant to understanding and measuring poverty from different angles, without over-
complicating or lengthening the process unnecessarily.

• Based on the list of identified poverty issues and concerns, along
with the foundational data and baselines collected, the LPRAC will
utilize the problem-solution finding matrix (PSFM). This matrix will
serve as a tool to uncover the underlying causes of these issues,
understand their far-reaching effects, and formulate potential policy
and program options for consideration.

• The data and information that will be generated herein will also be
used in the latter stages of the LPRAP formulation process.

Goal Formulation

Goal Formulation

Goal formulation or the process of determining what citizens want

their city or municipality to become is often considered the most
important step in the planning process.

Sectoral goals are the desired ends consistent with the success
indicators. These are results that are the same, or derived from, the
particular element of the vision statement pertaining to a specific
sector. This relationship is necessary to ensure that every policy and
action (programs, projects, activities, legislative and other regulatory
measures) formulated in the CDP will contribute to the realization of
the Vision.
Goal Formulation

The LPRAP should outline specific goals related to poverty reduction,

which should be cross-referenced with the goals of the CDP/PDPFP. This
ensures alignment and coherence between the broader development plan
and the specific poverty reduction strategies.

Therefore, when formulating goals for the locality, it's important to

consider both the vision of the locality and the goals outlined in the
LPRAP and CDP/PDPFP. This integrated approach ensures that the
barangay's strategic goals and objectives are not only aligned with the
community's vision but also contribute effectively to broader poverty
reduction efforts.

Anti-Poverty-Related PPA
Identification

Magna Carta of the Poor (MCP) – Local Poverty Reduction Action Plan (LPRAP)
Orientation-Seminar
Anti-Poverty-Related PPA Identification
The L/PPRAC shall develop a structured inventory of relevant PAPs based
on the five (5) fundamental rights of the poor (long list), as enumerated in
Section III of the MCP implementing rules and regulations. The L/PPRAC
shall then identify the key poverty reduction PAPs to formulate the short list
of priority PAPs; or propose or identify new PAPs, as deemed appropriate
and necessary.

The identified PAPs, as well as the corresponding statistics such as the

baseline, output, and outcome targets, and budget allocation for each PAP
categorized under the five (5) rights shall be cross-referenced with the five
(5) development sectors of the CDP/PDPFP. This is to align the anti-poverty
PAP initiatives with the broader development vision of the LGU in the
CDP/PDPFP.

Anti-Poverty-Related PPA Prioritization

If the PPAs listed in the LPRAP are available in the CDP sectoral
concerns, the priorities should be the PPAs that are lacking or need
enhancements based on the MCP Rule III of the IRR (see ANNEX
A).

The criteria for short listing the PPAs shall be based on:
1. Proposed PPAs
2. PPAs that need enhancements (e.g. additional funding)
3. PPAs that are in the CDP but not included in the AIP
4. Other criteria that the committee may identify
