POPDEV Planning at the Local
Level Modules |
|
The POPDEV Planning
at the Local Level (PPLL) Project was conceived in response
to the clamor for assistance in building the capability of
local planners in development planning. This clamor was brought
about primarily by the implementation of the 1991 Local Government
Code that mandates Local Government Units (LGUs) to come up
with a comprehensive local development plan.
The PPLL Project has three components, namely: institutional
support, training, and research/research utilization. It is
a three-pronged strategy that has been tested and found effective
for over 15 years under two other POPDEV projects of NEDA
-the Population and Development Planning and Research (PDPR)
Projects (1980-1989) and the Integrated Population and Development
Planning (IPDP) Project.
The main activity of the training component of the project
is the development and conduct of training program that will
develop local planners' skills in development planning through
the use of the POPDEV planning approach. The training program,
therefore, aims to enhance the understanding and capability
of local planners in selected pilot LGUs in using the POPDEV
planning approach to develop or improve their socioeconomic
profile (SEP), situational analysis (SA), local development
plan (LDP) and local investment plan (LIP).
The PPLL Training program takes a modular approach interspersed
with a practicum to enable the local planners to work on their
plan on-the-job. The program consists of four modules: |
|
 |
Module I : Basic Concepts
of the POPDEV Planning Approach to Development Planning
Module I familiarizes the trainees with the
POPDEV planning approach, its concept, tools, processes and
potential gains.

Module II : Improving Situational
Analysis and the Local Socioeconomic Profile
Module II assists trainees in systematically
analyzing their locality's situation based on correct and
relevant data and indicators derived from the SEP. Thus, Module
II also helps trainees to develop a good SEP since this is
one of the most important bases of a good SA.
After Module II, the trainees are given time (usually two
months) to develop or improve their respective SEPs and SA
at their workplace.

Module III : Improving the
Formulation of a Local Development Plan Using the POPDEV Planning
Approach
After Module II, the trainees are given time
(usually two months) to develop or improve their respective
SEPs and SA at their workplace. These outputs are then brought
as inputs to Module III which discusses the various components
of a local development plan and shows trainees how to use
the POPDEV planning approach in developing a good LDP.

Module IV : Improving the
Formulation of a Local Investment Program Using the PODPEV
Planning Approach
After Module III, the trainees again back
to work to improve their LDP and to gather additional information
needed in Module IV. Module IV helps the trainess to develop
a good investment program based on their LDP. The module discusses
ways of screening, assessing and prioritizing programs and
projects to be included in the LIP, as well as ways of identifying
and mobilizing financial resources, both internal and external.
Module IV is followed by another practicum, after which the
trainees are again gathered together to refine and make consistent
their three outputs - SA, LDP and LIP. These outputs are then
presented to their local officials at the same gathering.
