Of the 61 eligible LGUs,
37 signified intent to avail of the Project, hence the revised
target for capability building component is 37 LGUs.
The program of activities was modified
incorporating the activities of the PMO in the evaluation and
monitoring of sub-project proposals and incorporating the above
stated changes.
On objectives
The Project objective
in developing the capabilities of the eligible LGUs was
substantially achieved. The Project accomplished 116 percent in
terms of providing capability building on project development to
the LGUs and 156 percent in terms of number of participants. The
post training assessment of the participants for the resource
speakers and the training program as a whole were between very
good to excellent. The participants further confirmed the rating
during the closing programs when they rendered their impressions
and insights.
On results
The capability
building program improved the capabilities of the LGUs in
preparing project proposals. The program has developed their
confidence in project development. Six out of the 37 recipient
LGUs prepared and submitted sub-project proposals to the PMO for
the ASSEF Project as of September 30, 2006.
On assumptions/hypotheses
still valid
On activities
Of the six activities, only two
activities were undertaken during the period under review. The
first activity – implementation of project development training
was substantially conducted by the PMO with 116% accomplishment
in terms of target LGUs and 156% in terms of target
participants. For the second activity – visualization of the
preparation of micro project proposals, the PMO received six micro project proposals from the participating
LGUs. The PMO conducted the initial evaluation of the
sub-project proposals and forwarded the evaluation reports to
the proponents. The PMO conducted technical assistance upon
request to the LGUs in the revision of the sub-project
proposals. The remaining activities will be undertaken starting
October 2006.
On expenses made
The expenses
made pertains to the purchase of supplies, reproduction of
handouts, meals and accommodation for the participants, gasoline
used for the transport of resource speakers and participants as
