KALIBO, Aklan – The Aklan Sangguniang Panlalawigan has approved the adoption of the six-year Provincial Development and Physical Framework Plan (PDPFP).
Provincial Planning and Development Officer Engr. Roger Esto said the rationale of the PDPFP is embodied in the provisions cited by the National Economic Development Authority (NEDA) and Asian Development Bank (ADB) for the 2008 to 2013 planning process of the local government units of all the provinces.
“The five year development plan summarizes the vision, situational analysis, the planning environment and the priority areas of the province. It summarizes the future plans to coincide with the administration of the present national government and the three-year term of the incumbent officials of each province in the whole country,” he said.
Aklan and Iloilo, Esto said, were recognized by NEDA / ADB as the first provinces in the country to submit the final draft of PDPFP. The provinces cited were awarded by the Regional Development Council (RDC)-6 for completing 100 percent of the final draft of PDPFP.
Aklan is also awarded 1st runner-up in Excellence in Administrative Governance, Environmental Management and 2nd runner-up as Best Performing Province in the recent Excellence in Local Governance 2009.
Planning Officer IV Godofredo Isedenia said PDPFP is the key link in the network of plans covering the national, regional, provincial and municipal levels and also serves as the critical link between the local government objectives and national and regional priorities.
“In Aklan, the projects, programs and activities derived from the PDPFP are the basis for the multi-year investment programs and for budgetary allocations,” he stressed during the regular session of Aklan SP on Thursday.
Isedenia said PDPFP’s long-term vision coincides with the two three-year terms of Aklan Governor Carlito Marquez that could be aligned with the full-term of the national leadership.
PDPFP was formulated by a technical working group designed for a progressive Aklan anchored on agro-tourism developments that are globally competitive, gender-responsive, environment-friendly and equitable self-sufficient.
The provincial development strategy also ensures the delivery basic services in the municipalities and address issues on local governance towards better progress.
