| Overview : A.Project Title Paving the Road to the SDGs through Good Local Governance (Roads2SDGs) B. Project Description As part of its 10-point Economic Agenda from 2016-2022, the new Duterte administration targets to spend 5-7% of GDP on infrastructure. In line with this, there are several nationwide infrastructure programmes that are currently being implemented to deliver basic services to local communities, including the Department of the Interior and Local Government’s (DILG) Conditional Matching Grant to Provinces (CMG) programme, which is constructing provincial roads across the country. To ensure that corruption is mitigated in CMGP, UNDP will be launching “Development LIVE: Achieving SDGs in Infrastructure through Local Integrity, Innovation & Citizen Empowerment.” Development LIVE (DevLIVE) is essentially an online platform that will enable local government and citizens to upload their monitoring reports and live stream their monitoring activities online through Facebook LIVE and Instagram Stories for public viewing. Moreover, the application will allow government personnel to respond to the citizen reports to fast track project implementation, thereby fostering a state–society partnership that is participatory, transparent, and ultimately democratic. Furthermore, UNDP will be building for DILG a comprehensive project management suite with which road planning, design, procurement, construction and asset management can be efficiently managed. C.
