EXECUTIVE ORDER NO. 165 - DIRECTING
THE FORMULATION OF AN INSTITUTIONAL STRENGTHENING AND STREAMLINING
PROGRAM FOR THE EXECUTIVE BRANCH
WHEREAS,
the “Re-engineering the Bureaucracy for Better Governance Program” is a
priority of the present Administration to develop an efficient,
results-oriented and innovative bureaucracy that will support effective
governance and sustainable socio-economic growth;
WHEREAS, Sec. 79 of the General Provisions of the FY 1999 General
Appropriations Act directs heads of departments, bureaus, offices and
agencies to identify their respective activities which are no longer
essential in the delivery of public services and which may be scaled
down, phased-out or abolished pursuant to Circulars or Orders issued
for the purpose by the Office of the President;
WHEREAS, the government must continuously pursue streamlining and
productivity-enhancement programs to properly define the role of the
government in the society; focus its efforts primarily on basic
governance functions, prioritize its programs and projects; enhance
private sector initiative and participation in development; and adopt
simple and lean organization structures;
WHEREAS, the government aims to fast-track management and financial
reforms to make the bureaucracy more responsive to the needs of the
general public and evolve efficient and effective organizations
operating within available resources;
WHEREAS, streamlining and productivity enhancement programs will
generate permanent savings that may be used to reward good performance
through improved compensation in government comparable with that of the
private sector;
WHEREAS, there is a need to formulate short and long-term plans and
programs for the institutional strengthening and streamlining of the
bureaucracy directed towards the re-engineering of the Executive Branch.
