Third-Party Monitoring (TPM) is sought to conduct to ensure transparent, accountable, and responsive implementation of the SBDP. This will be carried out by an accredited non-government entity and provide independent perspective on project performance and shall augment existing monitoring capacities of the Department.
Deployment of TPM shall take place on July to December of this year covering all infrastructure and non-infrastructure LGSF- Support to the Barangay Development Program projects reported as completed and/or ongoing.
The LGSF-SBDP is the Government’s priority program to usher development and deliver basic services to conflict-affected barangays that lagged due to the terror caused by the CPP-NPA Terrorists. For 2021, 822 barangay beneficiaries that were cleared from the communist insurgency are provided with 20 million pesos each for their priority projects. For region 1, Barangay Baluarte, Salcedo and Barangay Nagbettedan of Santo Domingo in the Province of Ilocos Sur are among the identified barangay beneficiaries for FY 2021.
