BUDGET CAP

HARMONIZATION WITH LOCAL PLANNING PROCESSES

– Two modes of BuB• Regular:

– LPRAT as a sub-committee of the LDC (Non-functionality of LDC should not be an obstacle for the LPRAT to meet)

• Enhanced Process– To be undertaken in 270 municipalities that have

graduated from or are currently implementing KALAHI-CIDSS

– LPRAT to serve as a technical working group of an “Enhanced LDC”; Final decisions to be made in the “Enhanced” LDC

LPRAT

• Under Regular BuB, LPRAT composed of:– Mayor, Sanggunian Appropriations Committee

Chair, local department heads and representatives of NGAs at the city/municipal level (50% of LPRAT members)

– Representatives of CSOs elected during the CSO assembly + 1 business group representative (50% of LPRAT members)

– Elected officials, their immediate relatives (spouse, parent, sibling, child) and LGU employees are ineligible to be elected as CSO representatives

Regular BuB Process

STEPS

• 1: Civil Society Assemblies– Orientation on BuB– Election of LPRAT representatives and 3

CSO signatories to the LPRAP (including LPRAT co-chair)

– Report of LCE on status of 2013 BuB Projects

– Poverty Situation Analysis

STEPS

• 2: Local Poverty Reduction Action Planning Workshop– Use LPRAP workshop modules which will be

distributed– Multi-year planning (submission of indicative

list of projects for 2016 and 2017)– Project Identification

• 80% within Menu of Programs (to be reviewed and validated by RPRAT)

• 20% outside of the Menu (to be reviewed and validated by NPRAT)

STEPS

• 3: Submission of List of Priority Projects and other supporting documents (hard

and soft copy)– Cover letter signed by mayor– List of projects using template signed by LCE

and 3 CSO representatives on every page– Project brief for each project– Report on compliance with participatory

processes• Conduct of CSO assembly – attendance sheet, photo of

participants, documentation of election report, LGU report on status of BuB 2013 projects

• Conduct of LPRAP workshop – photo of participants, attendance sheet, minutes or highlights of the LPRAP workshop

STEPS

• 4: Consolidation of list of projects by DILG RO and submission to NAPC and distribution to RPRAT members

• 5: Validation, Review and Replacement of Projects – Review / Validation by RPRAT and NPRAT– RPRAT meeting/workshop with LPRAT to replace

rejected projects– Submission to NAPC of final list of projects

STEPS

• 6: Adoption of final list of priority projects by local Sanggunian (to be submitted to DILG RO)

• 7: Integration into the National Budget

• 8: Provision of funding for LGU Counterpart in local budget

Counterpart Requirements

Proportion of BuB plus KALAHI-CIDSS funding to LDF

Required Cash Counterpart

Up to 100% of LDF 10% of LDF

Over 100% up to 150% 15% of LDF

Over 150% 20% of LDF

• For Municipalities: cash counterpart will be a % of the local development fund

• For Cities: cash counterpart will be 40% of the BuB budget cap

Counterpart Requirements

• Counterpart funding need not be allocated on a per project basis.

• Cash counterpart may be used to fund projects that are 100% funded by the LGU.

• Projects to be funded by the LGU cash counterpart should be determined by the LPRAT, effectively adding it to the ‘BuB Funding Pot’.

• KALAHI-CIDSS will no longer ask for other cash counterpart, however, additional non-cash counterpart may be required

Project Identification

• Project Identification: NEGATIVE LIST– Projects below P500,000– Expansion of Pantawid Pamilya, Social Pension for

Indigents Senior Citizens, PhilHEALTH coverage, vaccination programs
