EXECUTIVE ORDER NO. 376 -
ESTABLISHING THE REGIONAL PROJECT MONITORING AND EVALUATION SYSTEM
(RPMES), SETTING FORTH ITS OBJECTIVES, DEFINING ITS SCOPE AND COVERAGE,
REQUIRING THE FORMULATION OF A MANUAL OF OPERATIONS AND FOR OTHER
SIMILAR PURPOSES
WHEREAS,
in pursuit of the government’s decentralization policy, efforts are
directed to make institutions more effective and more responsive to the
needs and conditions of local communities by bringing decision making
and action at the local level;
WHEREAS, decentralization shall be effected meaningfully in all aspects
of plan implementation;
WHEREAS, it is imperative to synchronize planning, programming and
budgeting and to complement the devolution efforts already ongoing in
the institutional processes for development planning and policy
formulation, programming, budgeting, with decentralization efforts in
plan and project monitoring and evaluation;
WHEREAS, as a consequence of said policies on decentralization and
administrative delegation, Executive Order No. 308, as amended,
mandates the Regional Development Councils (RDCs) to monitor, evaluate,
and formulate recommendations on the implementation of development
plans and programs in region;
WHEREAS, there is an urgent need to institutionalize a comprehensive
and decentralized project monitoring and evaluation system with the
kind of timeliness that is necessary in order to take a quick action on
problems that are confronted in the implementation of projects at the
lowest level;
WHEREAS, this has been initially effected through the creation of
Project Monitoring Committees in the provincial and municipal levels
under Memorandum Order No. 175, as amended;
NOW, THEREFORE, I, CORAZON C. AQUINO, President of the Philippines, by
virtue of the powers vested in me by the Constitution, do hereby order

At the national level, the monitoring and evaluation of the economic
and physical performance of government corporations shall, likewise, be
undertaken by the Government Corporate Monitoring and Coordinating
Committee (GCMCC) to validate capital expenditure programming by the
corporations under it.
At the regional level, the projects to be monitored may include
projects contained in the Regional Development Investment Program
(RDIP), other foreign-assisted or nationally-funded projects
implemented and manage at the regional level and the regional
components of nationwide projects.
At the provincial, city and municipal levels, the scope of monitoring
shall include projects implemented and managed at these levels with the
NALGU funds released directly to the province/city/municipality,
foreign and nationally-funded projects, and other funded from
locally-generated resources.
Sec. 3.
The Presidential Management Staff (PMS), independent of the RPMC, shall
focus on monitoring the President’s commitments in the various regions.
The extensive participation of non- government organizations (NGOs) as
project monitors shall be advocated at all levels. NGO membership in
the provincial, city and municipal levels shall include, but shall not
be limited to, representatives from either civic and/or religious
groups.
At the regional level, the National Economic and Development Authority
(NEDA) Regional Director shall be the Chairman of the Regional Project
Monitoring Committee (RPMC) with the Department of Budget and
Management (DBM) Regional Director as Co-Chairman. The Committee shall
have representatives from the Department of Local Government (DLG) and

Office shall serve as the Secretariat of the Regional PMC.
The PMCs created through Memorandum Order No. 175, as amended, to
implement the RPMES at the sub-regional levels (province and
municipality) will each be composed of representatives from the DLG,
NGOs and the Parent-Teacher Association (PTA) President or PTA
Federation representative. There shall likewise be established City
Project Monitoring Committees with the same functions and membership,
as applicable to the city. The Provincial/ City/Municipal Budget
Officer will be the Chairman of the Committee with the
Provincial/City/Municipal Development Coordinator as Co-Chairman.
Secretariat support to the sub-regional PMCs will be provided by the
Provincial/City/Municipal Planning and Development Office.
The operationalization of the PMCs at the various levels shall be
ensured by the DBM and NEDA in coordination with the DLG.
The Project Monitoring Committees may in their discretion, consult the
Commission on Audit representatives assigned to their respective areas
of jurisdiction on matters falling under the functional responsibility
of the Commission on Audit.
