Regional development councils are supporting an executive order that would grant them broader authority in their economic development mission.
RDC chairpersons and NEDA officials met with President Marcos on April 30, 2024 to discuss various regional development initiatives aligned with the strategies outlined in the Philippine Development Plan 2023-2028 and Regional Development Plans . NEDA presented a proposal for an EO that aims to strengthen the RDCs’ role in formulating regional development plans and investment programs, reviewing agency budgets, monitoring project implementation, and addressing bottlenecks.The proposed amendments aim to build upon the foundation laid by EO 325 by addressing perceived RDC weaknesses.
“These amendments would give RDCs the mandate to identify priority inter-LGU and special development projects and further pursue capacity-building activities at the local level,” Balisacan said.These initiatives include Regional-National Investment Programming dialogues, capacity-building activities for monitoring and evaluation, studies to effectively implement full devolution, and the approval of game-changing infrastructure flagship projects and public-private partnership projects.
