Delivery Strategy on Subnational Governance “Improved local governance capacity to deliver basic services” • Three major activities that will account for 40% of aid program over the five years • PRMF (till August 2014) • LGU Incentives Program (2013-2017) • PRMF successor program (2013-2017)
PRMF Status • recently mobilised in 3 new provinces • expected transition to use local government systems for 7 provinces
PRMF Successor Program • retaining core principles of PRMF: • road sector as the entry point • governance reform program (capacity building) • performance-based/incentives for good performance • working at the provincial level or supporting provinces • rethinking of program delivery • funding mechanism performance-based/output-based • significant role and responsibilities transferred to DILG • scaled-up program and management arrangements • partnership arrangements • considerations for infrastructure component • PRMF mid-term review recommendations • DILG-DPWH program on national secondary roads (WB) • design activities • DILG assessment (not separate from LGU incentive design process) • Analytical studies • political economy analysis of the local road sector • options for enhancing performance-based/output-based aid for road infrastructure • Research on quality of service standards for local roads • Design mission
LGU Incentive Program Proposed support to LGU incentive program: PCF-SGH • FUND AUGMENTATION TO PCF • SUPPORT TO POLICY DIALOGUE PROCESS (strategic direction and policy) • TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE TO DILG (operational and management needs)
Concept Peer Review Process Key Points and Recommendations • Keep it simple • Use of partner government systems • Focus on achievement of targets/performance • PCF should remain small but SGH should allow access to bigger ‘incentives’ • Sustainability of changed practice/outcomes not the funding mechanism (limited lifespan) • Strategic and closer engagement with DILG to enhance PCF-SGH and strengthen policy • Fiduciary risk assessment
Design timeline Important Milestones • AusAID Design document – October 2012 • NEDA ICC approval – November 2012 • Memorandum of Subsidiary Arrangement – December 2012 • Mobilisation – January 2013
Program design activities • PCF financial assessment/fiduciary risk assessment (PFMP) • PCF (DILG) organisational capacity assessment (PAHRODF) • Consultation workshops with key stakeholders • DILG PCF Management Team • Local Chief Executives (Mayors and Governors) • DILG Regional Directors • Engagement and coordination with WB-AAA activity and PDF working group • Analytical Support
