3. What is inclusive growth?
• It is growth that is rapid
enough to matter, given the
country’s large population,
geographic differences, and
social complexity
• It is sustained growth that
creates jobs, draws the
majority into the economic and
social mainstream, and reduces
poverty.
PDP 2011-2016:
A roadmap to inclusive growth
4. What makes inclusive growth elusive?
o Inadequate infrastructure
o Major gaps and lapses in governance
o Inadequate levels of human development
o A poor and degraded state of environment and natural
resources
5. How shall we achieve inclusive growth?
Massive investment in physical
infrastructure
Transparent and responsive
governance
Investment in the country’s
human resources
Creating more and better
employment opportunities
6. What have we accomplished so far?
Economic performance remains strong despite disasters and global
uncertainties.
Reforms in tax collection, revenue administration, and expenditure
management have provided considerable resources to fund new
initiatives and expand existing ones.
The country enjoys a high level of confidence among local and
international business community.
Increased investments in fixed assets, along with the revival of
manufacturing subsector, suggest that quality employment will
continue to increase in the future.
Present government’s solid political legitimacy and relatively stable
peace situation allows it to institute wide-ranging economic and
social reforms.
7. What have we learned?
• Good governance is an effective platform upon
which strategies should be implemented.
• Macroeconomic and political stability fuels
positive expectations that lead to growth.
• Development strategies need to consider spatial
and sectoral dimensions to ensure inclusivity.
• Economic growth is necessary but not sufficient
for poverty reduction.
• Disasters can reverse the gains and even push
back development.

10. Spatial considerations
• Geography is an important determinant of the quality of human life
because it facilitates or obstructs access to opportunities for
improving one’s conditions.
– Physical distance
– Quality of natural environment that causes one to be healthy or
sickly; less or more vulnerable to disasters
– Quality of institutions that may encourage of stifle private
initiative
• It is important to understand local conditions and identify
constraints to development.

17. Plan implementation and monitoring
• The overall development of the country is ultimately a product of
the dynamism of the private sector. The role of government is to set
the necessary policy and regulatory framework and provide public
goods and services to catalyze private initiative and encourage
efficiency improvements.
• PDP implementation calls for convergence of agency programs and
coordination among agencies at different levels, as well as the
private sector and development partners.
• The Planning Committees constituted to update the Plan will
monitor welfare outcomes and implementation progress as
indicated in the Results Matrices.
• The NEDA Secretariat will prepare Socioeconomic Report.

Hinweis der Redaktion
This shows the overarching strategic framework of the Updated Plan, with inclusive growth—defined as poverty reduction in multiple dimensions and massive creation of quality employment—as the desired outcome. To achieve inclusive growth, deliberate state action is needed so that any disadvantage owing to circumstance does not hinder a person from accessing available opportunities to improve his or her lot. Thus, inclusive growth is about equalizing opportunities, rather than outcomes. The social development sector helps ensure access to health, education, shelter and social protection opportunities and services.
Unfortunately, some individuals have not been able to take advantage of growth opportunities for reasons of ill-health or inadequate education—two of several dimensions of poverty. The Updated PDP envisions equalizing opportunities for people to get themselves employed, acquire assets, and improve their quality of life.
In order for growth to result in more opportunities, and thereby accelerate poverty reduction, the Updated Plan will focus the government interventions on a number of provinces, clustered on the basis of three categories.
For Category 1, these areas which have the highest number of poor families are not necessarily the poorest provinces. In fact, for a number of the provinces in this category, namely Cebu, Pangasinan, and Iloilo, development opportunities clearly exist. However, pockets of poverty also exist in these provinces to the extent that opportunities may be limited and certain segments of the population are unable to readily participate in the growth process. In-migration may also be a factor to the extent that the provinces tend to attract the poor from other places but opportunities for gainful employment are limited given existing skill sets.
For category 2, these provinces essentially have lesser opportunities for development, since they have small population, are less dense, and are located in remote areas. Weather-related events and armed conflict have been additional constraining factors.
Category 3 focuses on certain geographic characteristics that make provinces exposed and prone to multiple hazards, such as landslides and flooding. Most of them are included in the Hazards Mapping and Assessment for Effective Community-Based Disaster Risk Management (READY) Project. In these provinces, the marginally non-poor can slide into poverty relatively quickly owing to shocks or natural disasters.
In each category, we have a focused and specific strategy.
For Category 1, the interventions should be aimed at increasing investments to create more employment opportunities. Improving physical infrastructure to enhance trade and labor mobility are critical interventions. Depending on their comparative advantage, the potential for creating new growth drivers in agro-industry, food manufacturing, and logistics in some of the provinces should be exploited. Meantime, current sources of growth such as IT-BPM, and tourism can be expanded. In addition, improving human capital through investments in education and training (e.g. TVET) should be continuously encouraged to increase the employability of the work force. Introducing flexibilities in work arrangements may also be warranted.
The strategy for Category 2 is to provide basic social services (e.g., health services, basic education, water and sanitation) that promote economic and physical mobility, while economic opportunities are being created in the area. Small agriculture-based enterprises linked to the supply chain of product or service providers in the more developed areas of the region should be encouraged as a way of increasing employment and ensuring incomes. In areas where human security is particularly at risk because of violence or armed conflict, peace-building efforts should be earnestly pursued by addressing the fundamental bases of the conflicts.
While, for Category 3, the strategies that need to be implemented in these vulnerable areas should focus on disaster-risk reduction and mitigation, social insurance and social protection, and income diversification.
** PDP Chapter 6 presentation in the Joint Inter-PC and PSC Workshop on 25 March 2014
While the country is on track in terms of economic targets, it continues to face the challenge of achieving social outcome targets. The country remains to be at risk of not meeting the following MDG and PDP targets:
Reducing poverty;
Reducing maternal deaths;
Decreasing the prevalence of underweight children below 5 years of age;
Improving the nourishment of families (indicators: proportion of households with per capita intake below 100% dietary energy requirement); and
Improving educational achievement rates.
With the overarching goal of reducing poverty in multiple dimensions and creating massive quality employment, the Social Sector aims to improve human capabilities and reduce vulnerabilities by improving health and nutrition status, enhancing knowledge and skills, expanding social protection, and expanding access to secure shelter.
Kalusugan Pangkalahatan is the PDP’s main strategy for improving the country’s health and nutrition status.
The key aspects of the Kalusugan Pangkalahatan are found in its three strategic thrusts:
Achieve health-related MDGs by scaling-up promising preventive and promotive health programs and improving health-seeking behavior among the most vulnerable population;
A total of 14.7 million poor identified in the NHTS-PR from Category 1 provinces, as well as near-poor families, can be enrolled under the National health Insurance Program (NHIP)
Improve financial risk protection by expanding national health insurance coverage and benefits; and
Ensure quality of service by not only investing in facility infrastructure and equipment, but also improving clinical and management processes, and regulating the quality of care provided.
To address the challenges in the sector, the following policies and strategies shall be pursued:
For basic education -
Ensure that every Filipino has access to complete basic education by creating conducive learning institutions; providing affirmative action to learners with special needs and those in special circumstances and using technology in expanding reach
Enhance learning efficiency so that every Filipino graduate of basic education is prepared for higher education, employment or entrepreneurship. In line with the implementation of the K to 12 Program, the government shall pursue the: (a) development of enhanced learner-centered curriculum; (b) provision of adequate instructional materials and equipment; and, (c) improvement of quality of instruction and professional development of teachers
For tertiary education (i.e., TVET and Higher Education)
(6) Implement the cross-level mobility of students between higher education and middle-level skills development based on the approved Philippine Qualifications Framework (PQF)
(7) Align higher education institutions (HEIs) programs with national development goals and industry needs by upgrading and aligning the curricula with international standards; identifying Centers of Excellence (COEs) and Centers of Development (CODs)
(8) Upgrade higher education quality standards to internationally comparable levels and strengthen quality assurance systems through the continuing revision of programs, policies and standards along learning competency-based standards.
Reducing vulnerabilities to shocks and risks is crucial in equalizing opportunities. A strategy to reduce vulnerabilities entails expanding social protection and providing more secure shelter, particularly in Category 3 provinces that are highly vulnerable and prone to multiple hazards.
The major strategies in expanding social protection are:
Enhancing the targeting system by identifying the “near poor”/vulnerable and knowing their used;
Enhancing social protection and insurance for vulnerable groups; and
Setting up convergence mechanisms at all levels
In order to expand access to secure shelter, the housing sector will focus on the following strategic thrusts:
Provide a menu of housing options/assistance to various clientele (informal settlers, low-income workers, formal sector members of Pag-Ibig, GSIS and SSS)
Build strong partnerships with stakeholders; and
Pursue the policy agenda for socialized housing
The results matrix pursues an improved health and nutrition status which reflects the positive improvements in the various health and nutrition and population performance indicators from the baseline in 2010/2011 until the end-of-plan target by 2016.
In the education sub-sector, our desired outcome is the enhancement of knowledge and skills in basic education, technical-vocational education and training (TVET) and in higher education.
In social protection, the sub-sector outcome is to expand social protection services to contribute to the reduction of vulnerabilities. Our main intervention is the expanded coverage of Philhealth under the NHTS-PR and LGU sponsored program to reach 100 percent by 2016 from 88.7 percent in 2010.
Finally, in housing, the continued expansion of the access of households to secure shelter will be pursued. The percentage of housing targets met (i.e., direct housing provision as a percentage of the total housing need) is expected improve from 22.5 percent in 2010 to 25.84 percent by 2016. Similarly, the share of socialized housing programs to the total direct housing provision is targeted to increase from 56.78 percent in 2010 to 77.77 percent by 2016.
The implementation of the Plan is being monitored by the NEDA-Social Development Committee and the Human Development and Poverty Reduction Cabinet Cluster, with the following lead agencies for each sector.
We however, encourage this committee to regularly report the accomplishments to the DSWD (as the lead agency of the sub-committee) so, our targets and strategies are properly monitored and reported.
