Introduction
The Institutions and Partnerships Programme Team’s work is aimed at providing technical assistance in strengthening the capacities of the government sector to plan, manage, and deliver quality social and economic services. Specifically, the team is working on 1) improving local government capacity to utilize resources and track SDG progress; 2) strengthening Public Financial Management in key national agencies; and 3) expanding citizen oversight. The Team also focuses on coming up with innovative solutions to old development problems while providing platforms for integration. Various projects are being or have been implemented with government financing under the portfolio and oversight of the UNDP-Institutions and Partnerships Team. This modality if implementation and financing draw from the Standard Basic Assistance Agreement (SBAA) signed by the Philippine Government and UNDP in 1977.
The projects are the following: - ACCELERATING BOTTOM-UP BUDGETING (BUB) THROUGH INCLUSIVE AND EFFECTIVE GOVERNANCE
The Bottom-Up Budgeting (BUB) initiative, launched in 2012, aimed at delivering poverty reduction projects through a participatory local governance process. DSWD as the lead national agency for the implementation of BUB, anchored its strategies in three programmes, namely: the Kapit-Bisig Laban sa Kahirapan-Comprehensive and Integrated Delivery of Social - National Community-Driven Development Program (KALAHI-NCDDP), Protective Services Bureau (PSB) and Sustainable Livelihood Program (SLP). However, due to weak social infrastructure, financial and administrative bottlenecks, low government and Civil Society Organizations (CSOs) capacities, as well as policy gaps, implementation performance has been lackluster. It is in this respect that UNDP offered support to assist in the implementation of
BUB. This UNDP project aimed to deliver in partnership with DSWD 100% of 2015 and 2016 backlog, composed of 487 projects, or 941 subprojects in 15 Regions in 271 cities/municipalities (54 LGUs in 4th class, and 30 LGUs in 5th class). The project contributes to SDGs 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9,
11, 12, 16 and 17. It is implemented with the support of Governance hubs which consists of CSOs and Higher Education Institutions/State Universities and Colleges (HEI-SUCs) which will pilot enhanced governance infrastructure that will enable DSWD, LGUs, and civil society to execute BUB effectively and, over time, independently. The Free Wi-Fi Internet Access in Public Places Program, otherwise known as Pipol Konek, is being implemented by the Department of Information and Communications Technology (DICT) with the aim to provide free broadband internet access to public places across the country. However, challenges in the bidding and implementation process, limited access to cost-effective and up-to-date technology options, as well as the limited capacity of local Philippine telecommunications companies have slowed progress toward this goal. Hence, DICT sought the assistance of UNDP to accelerate the roll-out of the Free Wi-Fi for All Program to expand internet access in 6,000 sites primarily located in geographically isolated and disadvantaged areas across the country and selected state universities and colleges. The project will contribute to closing the digital divide in the Philippines by providing incentives to encourage new and existing local and international service providers to expand internet coverage in designated areas, incorporate citizen monitoring mechanisms to ensure internet service providers meet service quality standards and include resources to develop the capacity of DICT staff to oversee the procurement, management, and implementation of future large-scale ICT investments. - DEVELOPMENT SUPPORT SERVICES 2016 K TO 12 BASIC EDUCATION PROGRAM OF THE PHILIPPINE DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION
In 2010, the DepEd started the K-12 Program. The K-12 Program, which covers Kindergarten and 12 years of basic education (six years of primary education, four years of Junior High School, and two years of Senior High School) aim to provide sufficient time for knowledge of concept and skills, develop lifelong learners, and prepare graduates for tertiary education, middle-level skills development, employment, and entrepreneurship. Over the years, DepEd has faced certain limitations in the capacity and reach of suppliers in its procurement. These constraints directly impact not only the timeliness of the procurement of goods but also the overall quality of results. Consistent with GPPB Resolution No. 29-2015, DepEd engaged the services of UNDP. Direct procurement services were provided to DepEd as well as capacity-building support. UNDP assisted DepEd to strengthen its procurement capabilities and given its access to procurement options not available in the organization. Specifically, the following support services were provided by UNDP: (a) Procurement delivery and installation of IT Computer packages (in particular, procurement, delivery, and installation of Solar and IT packages); (b) develop and conduct two (2) Public Financial Management (PFM)
training modules; (c) rollout of the PFM Assessment Tool in select regional and division offices; (d) scaling up of citizen monitoring teams to ensure timely and quality service delivery up to the beneficiary level. - PAVING THE ROADS TO SDGS THROUGH GOOD GOVERNANCE (ROADS2SDGS)
At present, only 24.6% of all provincial roads in the Philippines are of acceptable quality. Of the 12,726km of provincial core roads, 57.2% are unpaved and in need of upgrading, while 20.2% are in poor condition and in need of rehabilitation. The situation is similarly dire for the 19,098km of non-core roads, with 67% needing upgrading and 7% in need of rehabilitation. To address this situation, the Department for the Interior and Local Government (DILG) has launched the Conditional Matching Grant to Provinces (CMGP) initiative to improve the quality of the local road network across the country, by providing both financial investment for capital outlay, as well as strengthening the governance processes so that provincial governments themselves are able to effectively plan, design, implement and maintain their road networks. The Program addresses the underinvestment in local roads, and the improvement of national-local roads connectivity to increase economic activity and improve public access to facilities and services in the provinces. It is a governance reform program in local roads management (LRM) and public financial management (PFM).
In partnership with DILG, UNDP implemented the project “Paving the Roads to SDGs through Good Governance (Roads2SDGs)” which aims to provide support to the governance reform and quality assurance components of CMGP through the ‘Road to SDGs’ framework. The project has 3 main components/outputs: i. Governance Hubs strengthened to provide continuous technical support to provincial governments, citizens, and DILG in the implementation of CMGP; ii. The capacity of Provincial Governments and DILG enhanced to plan, design, implement, and maintain quality road networks through effective governance processes; and iii. Citizens organized to instill transparency and accountability in the implementation of road projects in provinces.
