The Regional Development Council (RDC) will sponsor for the second straight year the search for the Best Public Sector Projects for 2006-2007 in Western Visayas. The search that is a special activity of RDC 6 is the first of its kind conducted by Regional Development Council in the country.
According to the RDC, the search made a dent in recognizing the best projects of the national government agencies as well as of the provinces in the region. In fact, the best projects were showcased to other regions of the country and deemed worthy of replication by other regions.
For this year, the Regional Development Council hopes to expand the search to include the municipalities, in addition to the provinces and highly urbanized cities.
The search aims to identify projects that have contributed significantly to the attainment of the local and regional development objectives and targets. In the evaluation of the nominated projects, focus will be on the approach or technology used, situation prior to the intervention, specific outputs of the project or activity, success factors of the approach and its replication potentials.
NEDA Director Arturo Valero said they have scheduled a briefing on March 9 for this purpose. Evaluation of the different nominated projects will start after March and awarding of the Best Public Sector Projects will be done during the third quarter RDC meeting or during a special program for this purpose.
