Plan Implementation and
Monitoring
The SOCCSKSARGEN Regional Development Plan (RDP) 2017-2022 lays
the foundation for truly inclusive growth, a high-trust society, and a globally
competitive knowledge economy. The government will set the necessary policy
and regulatory environment and provide public goods and services by Enhancing
the social fabric (Malasakit), Reducing inequality (Pagbabago), and Increasing
Potential Growth (Patuloy na Pag-unlad).
The effective implementation of RDP calls for efficient coordination among
government agencies at all levels, the private sector, civil society, and development
partners. During the implementation period, the efficiency and effectiveness
of the various strategies and programs discussed throughout the plan will be
monitored. Efficiency will be determined in terms of how the activities of the
government, the private sector, civil society, and development partners have been
guided by the intended outcomes. Effectiveness will be evaluated in terms of the
extent to which the quality of life of Filipinos, especially the poor and marginalized,
has improved.
Review, Approval and Adoption Process, Plan
Consultation
The formulation of the SOCCSKSARGEN
RDP, 2017-2022 went through a series
of workshops and presentations with the
various stakeholders which included the
RDC XII Sectoral/Planning Committees
composed of LGUs, RLAs, academe,
and private sector groups/NGOs for its
enhancement. The draft plan was presented
during the 56th Regular Meeting of RDC
XII on 14 December 2016. The Full Council
approved and adopted the RDP, 2017-2022
through Resolution No. 76, Series of 2016.
Consultations shall be conducted with
multi-sectoral stakeholders.
Phasing of the Plan
The RDP, 2017-2022 which covers a six-year
planning period contains outcomes and
strategies which will address the attainment
of the region goal for the medium-term that
is anchored on the Philippines’ long-term
vision also known as AmBisyon Natin 2040.

Integration of Plan and
Planning Processes
Horizontal Integration
The implementation of the plan shall be built
on the entire development planning and
implementation machinery and process,
with the Regional Development Council
(RDC) XII as the central organizational
structure that spearheads the planning
process. This shall be pursued through the
outcomes and strategies that are translated
into priority programs and projects,
identified by the RLAs, LGUs, SUCs and
GOCCs approved and endorsed by the
RDC XII Full Council and supported by the
RDC XII Advisory Committee (AdCom)
composed of nine (9) congresspersons from
Region XII.
The strategies contained in the RDP shall
be translated into specific programs and
projects which shall be then be consolidated
into Regional Development and Investment
Program (RDIP) 2017-2022. The RDIP shall
likewise be the basis for the formulation
of the Annual Investment Program (AIP)
which serves as reference in the annual
review of budget proposals of RLAs, SUCs
and GOCCs.
Vertical Integration
Policy issues/concerns with national and/
or interregional implications contained
in RDPs of all regions, shall be integrated
in the PDP. At the sub-regional level,
the RDP shall serve as the framework
for the formulation or updating of the
Comprehensive Development Plans
(CDPs) of LGUs. The spatial component of
the RDP which is found in Chapter 2 but
comprehensively discussed in the Regional
Spatial Development Framework (RSDF),
2015-2045 shall guide the formulation
or updating of the Comprehensive Land
Use Plans (CLUPs) of highly urbanized
and independent cities and the Provincial
Development and Physical Framework
Plans (PDPFPs) of provinces of the region.
Financing of the Plan
The programs and projects identified In the
RDIP are consistent with the mandates of
the concerned agencies. These identified
programs and projects would find their
way in the agency regular budgets and shall
be included in the yearly budget proposals
of the agencies. Funds from ODA and
other possible sources such as Public-
Private Partnerships (PPPs) shall also be
tapped, specifically for projects needing
huge budgetary requirements and have
potential of generating revenues which
could significantly address the region’s
development vision or possibly finance
other high impact government projects
with considerable development benefits to
the populace.
Monitoring and Evaluation
The monitoring of plan implementation
shall be done regularly. The Results Matrix/
Development Targets shall be used as
reference in tracking the attainment of
strategies and targets contained in the
RDP. The Regional Project Monitoring and
Evaluation System (RPMES), on the other
hand, shall be used in monitoring programs

and projects that shall be implemented
within the plan period. At the regional
level, the Regional Project Monitoring
Committee spearheads the monitoring of
ODA and other development programs
and projects. Each RLA shall monitor
and evaluate the implementation of their
individualmandatedprogramsandprojects,
particularly agencies with environmental
and ecology concerns from which issues
may need immediate actions.
Under the system, the Regional Project
Monitoring Committee (RPMC) is chaired
by NEDA with DBM, DILG, OP-PMS
and PSRs as members. At the local level,
coordination will be undertaken by the
Provincial/City Monitoring Committee.
With the different PMCs already organized
at the regional, as well as, at the sub-regional
levels, what calls to be attended to is the
strengthening of the said PMCs to enable
them to perform as expected.
Plan Advocacy
To generate support for the implementation
of the RDP, 2017-2022, RDC XII shall
spearhead the conduct of advocacy
activities during the plan period based on
a Comprehensive Communication and
Advocacy Program for the plan. The Region
XII ICON which is under the supervision
of the Philippine Information Agency (PIA)
Xll shall be tapped to implement the CAP.
Other activities that may be conducted to
advocate the plan may include conduct of
forum, uploading in RDC XII website or in
social media account, preparation of flyers
that contain major information of the plan
for distribution, include plan information
in agencies having regular radio/television
programs, newsletters, and websites or
sustain the presence in social media.
SUSTAINING THE MOMENTUM TOWARDS
AmBisyon Natin 2040
The RDP, 2017-2022 shall serve as
the foundation for the next three (3)
administrations. Thus, the attainment of
AmBisyon Natin 2040 would be heavily
reliant in the success of implementing the
RDP under the Duterte Administration and
for the period 2022-2028, 2028-2034 and
2034-2040.
Below is the list of forward-looking
infrastructure build-up and other long-
term priority socio-economic projects
for the region to sustain the momentum
towards AmBisyon Natin 2040. The detailed
information of each project could be found
