The technical assistance (TA) aims to strengthen the institutional capacity of the National Economic
and Development Authority (NEDA) to formulate strategy, plan and manage development, and
provide policy analysis and advice.
NEDA is the principal socioeconomic development planning and policy coordinating body for the
Government of the Philippines. It provides policy advice on development issues through its
development budget coordination committee and investment coordination committee. NEDA
spearheads government strategic planning and coordinates formulation of the 6-year Philippine
Development Plan (PDP). It also takes the lead in preparing the country's Public Investment Program
(PIP), programming and managing ocial development assistance (ODA), and monitoring and
evaluating public investment projects. Recent assessments of NEDA and consultations with its sta
and ocials indicate a need to enhance its internal processes and capacities. The TA is in response
to Government's request for ADB to support capacity development of NEDA.
