The
Project Development Division (PDD) of the NEDA Region 5 conducted a
three-day series of briefings on the NEDA’s Productivity Enhancement
Program (PEP) to some 127 participants composed of planning
officers, agriculturists and environmental/natural officers from 72
local government units (LGUs) regionwide, last September 9-11, 2009.
The
NEDA-PDD panel of resource speakers discussed major topics, which
included: an overview on the NEDA-PEP concepts; a comparison of NEDA-PEP
with the KR2 grant facility; the project proposal evaluation
process; project proposal preparation; the project logical
framework; work and financial plan; and preparation of
accomplishment and monitoring reports.
Specifically, the orientation clarified such aspects as the eligible
projects, activities and proponents; allocation scheme; counterpart
requirement based on LGU classification; mode of fund release;
documentary requirements; contents of the MOA; and implementation
arrangements.
A
presentation on the list of projects that have so far been funded by
the NEDA-PEP in the different regions in the country provided the
participants with project and technology ideas for possible local
adoption.
