Other Activities

DILG 02’s initiative for the World Water Day 2018

 Lessons Learned

• Specialist VS Generalist- Area of specialization

among Engineers per PMO (Water, LAR/CMGP,
Others) will give focus, but needs rotation of AOR
for multi-tasking and responding to urgency or
prioritization.

• Tracking of LGU commitments and close follow-

up of catch up plans through official
communication.
 Lessons Learned

• Communicating results of project visits with

findings and recommendations through official
letters to the concerned LCEs with attached M&E
simplified tool conformed/signed by the LGU and
DILG present during the monitoring, copy
furnished Resident Auditor.

This had increased level of LGU compliance

(more prioritized actions made that improved
project status toward completion.
 Lessons Learned

• RO’s decision and move for cancellation had

pushed LGUs to make double time, and pursue
project completion.

• LGUs took the risk in starting procurement prior

issuance of signed policy/guidelines (delayed) and
downloading of funds by the Bureau of Treasury,
though the amount or figure is already confirmed in
the GAA.
 Procurement less Award (for research GPPB provisions)
