I BACKGROUND
The Training and Development Issues (TD) Project was designed to improve
the capability of the Philippine Government and other institutions to analyze
development issues and to make sound and timely development related
decisions This objective was sought to be achieved mainly through training
and the conduct of research and related activities on a small number of issues
deemed critical to the sustained pursuit of Philippine development
The project was conceived to address perceii gips in the USAID
assistance program to the Philippines First most previous research
activities had not focused on developing the information needed for effective
decision-making and policy review Second general participant training
projects had lacked specific focus and supporting activities thereby limiting
their impact And third sectorally focused institutional development
projects often could not fully a-hieve their development objectives because
many key policy related factors affecting project success were beyond the
control of the implementing agency
Under the Project Agreement vwhich was signed on 29 July 1983 USAID
committed to provide a total of $42 million in loans ($33 million) and
grants ($09 million) Of this amount $25 million was allocated to the
Development Issues Component and $16 million to the Training Conponent with
$100000 set aside for evaluation USAID funding for the project was
subsequently raised by a $3U0000 grant that brought the total USAID
commi tnent to $45 million Government counterpart funding amounted to $15
million PACD aas set at 31 December 1938

A Diveraence ofZiews on ADproach to Project imlementation
The slow start of the non-training elements of the Development Issues
Component of the TDI Project and its relatively slow progress to-date is
reflective of a fundamental divergence of views between the USAID Mission and the PhiliDDine Governmen implementin aqency for the proh EDA on~ _mni aec o h rject hNEDo
the approach to project implementaticn Specifically while both agree on
(a) the project objective of building up institutional capacities for the
analysis of and subsequent decision-making on key development issues and
(b) on the conduct of research undertakings (including conferences and fora)
to bring this about they dsagree on tne matter of payment for those involved
in the conduct of such research undertakings reflecting a difference in
approach to the at ainment o1 the project s objective
Tile USAID lissions exoectation was that the object-ive would be approached
by focusins goverment personnel attention on particular issues within the
context of their normal functions and thus without additional compensation as
well as by opening up the policy formulation process to a broad spectrum of
participants from outside government thereby enriching the process itself and
the policy recommendations that subsequently emanate from it The outputs
being d dist-illation of hopefully some of the best minds in (and as
necessary out of the country policy-makers ould be better-equipped for
decision-makinQ on zritical issues This would be supplemented by funding
provisions for training in issue-related fields From the foregoing the
Mission lxpectationthat government personnelwas would be actively involved
in te project without extra compensation so that much if not most of the
funds for non-training Development Issue Component activities would be paid
out to non-governmental institutions

B Communication Problems
The fact that the projects principal problems are rooted in basic
interpretational differences would seem to indicate problems in the
communication process between the USAID Mission and the Philippine Government
throuch its implementing agency the NEDA concerning the project indeed
for various reasons this appears to have been the case from the design stage
to at least the early stages of project implementation
1 Project design stage
Because of pressures brought on by approaching US budgetary deadlines in
mid-1983 there was little opportunity for any extensive discussion between
the ilission and the INEDA on the Project Paper which was prepared by the
Mission Staff Indications of the basic differences in expectations with
respect to the approach to project implementation thus began to surface only
in the course of implementation itself as the TDI-PMO based at NEDA began to
endorse for the Missions clearanceapproval specific proposals to use project
funds for non-training activities including equipment procurement
On this particular issue it may be pointed out that the language of the
Project Pap-- was by no means unequivocal in thie discussion of Submission
of Issue Proposals and Selection of issue Activities paragraphs 1 and 2 of
p 11 state that
A wide variety of organizations are expected to submit proposals and
thus be eligible for implementing ac-ivities These include (a) units
within NEDA (b)GOP agencies (c) Local governments (d)Government

TWo soecific situations contributed to the insufficiency of
communia-ions rirstly the NJEDA TDI-Project -lanagement and the USAID
Ilission differed on the particular issue of USAID representation in the
Project Steering Committee The Mission had expected to be an ex-officio
member of the Committee the TDI-Project Managements position on the other
hand vias that since the USAIDs role in the Steering Committee as specified
in the Project Agreement was advisory USAID participation in Steering
Committee meetinQs would be strictly on a need basis
Secondly neither the USAID nor more importantly even the NEDA TDI-PM1O
was devoting much time to the project
For example Project Impl ementation Letters setting out pertinent USAID
implementing guidelines and procedures were not issued early on The only
issuance of this nature (PIL NJo 3) came in January 1985 seventeen (17)
months after signing of the Project Agreement setting out the mechanism for
financing the Develoomen- Tssues Component (This represents a sharp contrast
to the Economic and Social Impact Analysis-Women in Development (ESIA-WID)
project in which within a little over three (3)months of the date of signing
of the Project Agreement at least five (5) PILs had been issued setting out
among other things criteria for satisfactory compliance with conditions
precedent guidelines for contracting and exemptions thereto and procedures
and documentation for requesting and liquidating AID Peso advances) Perhaps
this was due to USAID presumpions as to the extent of the project personnels
awareness of USAID rules and procedures

an prioritize poi cy research issues and proposals that bear on Philippine
devel opment
0 Implementation Procedures
Following from the USAID premise of the broadest possible participation in
the policy formulation process the implementation procedures set out in the
Project Paper envisioned extensive use of seminars and conferences (about 30
to 40) in the entire course of project implementation from issue selection to
the presenta-ion of research findings and recommendations These procedures
were adopted in the implementation Plan of the DeveloDMnt issues Component
in the implementation o- zite project to-date however only one such
workshop-conFerence- has been nel d and this in October more tiian1985 two
years from the daze of signing of tne Project Agreemnt The purpose of this
workshop attended by representatives of various research institutions was to
publicize generate interest in and hopefully speed up research formulation
under the Development Issues Component of TDI
Significantly post-orkshop response to the project has been encouraging
wit~is aditionalproposals having already been received on topics in the
Research Agenca as ail as -n others related to it Still others are
currently under preparation From clnis standpoint much improvement may be
expected in the pace of mpement3ation of at least the research element of the
5Development -ssues Component within the coming monthsshy
5 The Steering Committee was scheduled to meet on 14 July 1986 at which approval of research proposals 4ith a total cost of just under $200000 is expected

Coincidentally thirty-four j34) have been in long-term (one-year or more)
pr rams and twenty-five (25) in shorter programs
Based on the foregoing the training component of the TDI Project has to
date been proceeding by and large on schedule This notwithstanding however
it needs to be asked whether the component (including the training element of
the Development issues Component) has been operating in a manner consistent
with the training objectives of the project
B Objectives of Training Activities
As designed the training component of the TDI project was not only to
build upon but to improve on the General Participant Training (GPT) Program of
the 1970s Specifically whiie the GPT Program was observed to have lacked
focus on particular development issues or on specific human resource and
institutional development objectives that thereby limited its overall impact
training activities under the TDI project would support the institutional
objectives of requesting organizations contribute to improving manpower
skills critical to national and regional development and enhance capacities
related to the issues selected under the Development issues Component
Towards this end a survey of training needs of socio-economic
development-related government institutions was undertaken in the early stages
of the project On the basis of criteria approved by the project Steering
Committee survey responses were analyzed to come up with a prioritization of
agencies and of fields of study for funding under the projectshy

D Areas for gtnorovein
The foregoing general observations notwi thstanding however there are
definite areas for improvement in the operation and implementation of training
activities
o e-n viith the priorit zation scheme adopted while useful in guiding
the evaluation of specific requests fo training assistance leaves too much
room for flexibility in decision-making While the need for and the value of
flexibility in a program of this nature recognized too much it couldis of
easily lead to distortions in Program results That this has tended to be the
case is evident from the folloino
a) The predominance of gtEDA itself as recipient institution of the
training grants Of the fifty-nine (59) slots that had been made
available twen-y-two 2) or more thian a thi -d went to IEDA official s
and employees Relative to the slots that went to institutions in the
first priority list (43) the proportion is even higher at slightly
over half While a large proportion of project training funds going
to NEDA staff may be justifiable in terms of the institutions central
role in Philippine development plannin and policy-formulation such a
high proportion of resources going to a single agency is rather
excessive
b) Relatedly the predominance of fields of a general development nature
ie Economics Planning IMlanagement and Public Acimnistration and
Statistics in the fields of training supported under the project
These acounted for forty-four (44) of the fifty nne (59) slots
Again whlle the value of a broad perspective in policy-formulation is
recognized threo-fourtihs of the training allocation going into thi3
19shy
type of general zraining wou d seem to unduly undervalue tiie ieed for
more specza~ized types of poli cy anal vsis called for in many areas of
Phiippine development T is of course Dossble that these needs are
already being addressed tirou-gh projects other than the underone
consideration if so then - e present ellocation under the TDI
Project may well be jusified Unfortunately time constraints have
7 no- enabled -i-oser nvesiation of this mattershy
c) Funding of pr-grans in Law and Justice which though related to
socio economic development policy formulation is at best only
distantly so ParLicipation for instance in programs on American amp
internat-ional a as well as -n the US Legal System by members of
the Regional Trial Courts is to say the least difficult to justify
under tiis project However support towards laster s degrees in
Engineering of which rhere are two probably is justifiable as these
may be classified among the manpower skills critical to national and
regional development
d) Relative imbalance in the distribution of training slots between
participants from central offices and those from the regions Of the
fifty-nine (59) slots made available less than ten have gone to participants from the reg-onai offices Considering the thrust of the
present government towards genuine regionalzation including NEDAs
own interests improvements in this regard are especially called for
For instance the nei government is strengthening the role of the
Regional Development Council- and therefore these may be additional
training needs
_ According to the Hanager of the Participant Training Component this was in fact the case
The seconc road a-ea for improvemert is in monit-ori ng The establ i shment
of a sstem for monitoring of zrain n oarticioants both during and more
importantly after traind1n Was envsioned in thne project design The first
batch or tra nees iho went through one year programs in SY 1934 have been back
on the job for a ear and tiose wiho underwenr shorter programs have been back
for a longe period To cate hovever no back to office monitoring has been
undertken rendr in- di-ficut the assssent of traininc imDact relative to
obj ectives
E Usefulness of Training
Towards this end however limited interviews of immediate supervisors of
returned trai nees wiere carried out in this evaluation to obtain some feel for
the usefulness o1 training to the sponsoring institutions
in general the assessment of training impact has been very positive with
significant improvements observed in the overall depth and breadth of
analytical outputs of returned trainees in one instance however even
before the outset of tne training program the participant was transferred to
another unit to which immediate applicabilit of the training eventua1y
received was minimal thoh nonethelss potentially useful
On the transfer of knowledgeskills acquired to other personnel of the
sponsoring Insitutions the general approach has been through informal
discussions on the j o
- 21 -
V PRQ ECT SGJ I IT AND OUTLOOK
Implementation problems notwithstanding current evidence supports the
continued usefulness off the project towards the objective of building up
institutional capacities for policy analysis and decision-making in the
PhiliPPine bureaucracy The Tax Administration and Compliance Study for
instance thouqh still in the process of finalization has already contributed
siqnificant inputs to the recent formulation of a new Tax Reform Package
Outputs of the on-going research on Sectoral Classification of Trade and
Inve ment Data are already being programmed for use in the current drafting
of the Philippine Development Plan for 1987-1992 Limited interviews have
also established the positive contributions of training supported under the
project in terms of improved overall quality of analytical work of returned
trainees
The potential impact of the project is further considerably enhanced by
the fact of a new government which is seriously engaged in a broad-ranging
effort to review and as needed recast the whole gamut of policies
structures and procedures that intimately affect both the current and the
future life of the nation
In terms of project operations recent developments augur well for
improvements not only in the pace of project implementation but also in terms
of broadening the projects overall impact In the case of the Development
Issues Component mention has already been made of positive expectations
resultina from the workshop on the Research Agenda conducted in late 1935
Significantly because of the materially improved response that resulted from
thc workshop the TDI-PMO has decided to convene similar workshops on a
regular basis possibly twice a year

unlikely the full ip1ementation of The project within the current PACD
Furthermore the Pr o- ed mod ficiDns in the operating scheme of the
training component ioulc also take some time to work out Accordingly the
7oTDI-P1O is exoected put forard to USAID a request for a two-year extension
of the current PASD f the project is extended then there will be need for
another evaiua-ion in two years
VI RECOMME IDATI OS
in light of all of the foregoing the following recommendations are herein
made with respect to the TDI project
1 The project should continue and the PACD extended by two years to
December 1990
2 Should the Precedinig reccmmendation be approved another evaluation of
the project should be schedule- in thc first half of 1988
3 To contribute to the easing of the countrys debt servicing
difficulties and in consideration of the diffused social benefits of the
project the entire unearmarked loan allocation to the project should be
converted to outright grant
4 To enhance smooth and timely implementation of the project as a whole
and in particular of the non-training elements of the Development issues
Component a clear resolution of the issues that have herein been identified
as having largely held back proect progress should be made and agreements
reached should be clearly set out in project implementation letters
Critical items in this regard are the whole apProach to project
implementation and the related question of compensation for government
personnel and the issue of USAID membership in the Project Steering

7 For reasons that have already been indicated elsewhere in this
report at of part ofleast the management the procedures of the Development
Issues component (which now excludes training) should be transferred or
subcontracted to the Philippine Institute for Development Studies (PIDS) which
has consideraile experience with managing research and working with USAID
8 To improve the implementation of the development issues component
(a) The Steering Committee especially in light of the priorities of
the new GOP administration should focus and prioritize the Agenda of Areas of
Research This should be done with the intent of selecting only a limited
number of development issues in order to concentrate efforts involve more
institutions in the same topic and culminate through a series of activities
in concrete policy recommendations
(b) TDI-PI0 should implement present plans for more frequent workshops
and advertisements to solicit research proposals and to broaden participation
(c) In addition high level NEDA officials should continue to endeavor
to involve directly other ministers and deputy ministers in the selection of
development issue topics research assignments and discussions of results
NEDA should continue to make readily available TDI resources to other
ministries
(d) The regular selection process should be made simpler and quicker
through such steps as greater discretionary power to the NEDA-TDI Project
Manager to approve proposals on already cleared topics without further
approval of the Steering Committee or USAIO up to a limit of say $15000
per proposal
(e) An alternative formechanism selecting consultants should be
designed to meet immediate short-term needs The NEDA-TDI project manager
should have greater authority to initiate on his own within topic guidelines
approved by the Steering Committee and USAID consultancy contracts This
authority snould be limited both as to amount of any individual contract say
$15000 and to the total amount of all such contracts for the year say
$100000
9 The Evaluation Team endorses the TDI-PMO proposals for improving the
overall effectiveness and impact of training activities Specifically
(a)A more detailed training plan for the balance of the project
duration should be prepared based on an updated assessment of institutional
training needs The team feels that in this assessment special attention
should be given to the needs of regional offices Further while maximum
adherence to the formulated plan is desirable provision for some degree of
flexibility should also be allowed to enable the project to respond to
unforeseen but urgent training requirements that may arise in the course of
implemfentation For this purpose ten (10) per cent of the uncommitted
balance of the training allocation could remain unprogrammed and availed of
largely on a need basis
(b) Institutional participation in the training component should be
broadened not so much however by increasing the number of participating
institutions (although possibly that too) but more through the provision of
proportionately more slots to institutions that have been determined to rank
high in the institutional prioritization scheme
(c) Participation from the regional levels should be increased and
perhaps even given priority
(d) Extension of funding support to training in suitable fields in
selected regional training institutions in the country should be undertaken
n this reard full consi deration should be given toi nci uding training
ororms 7 rv ate -c--nal insi tutions The proposal to explore the
devloomnt of a aster s roram in DcveloDment Economics at the UP in

th t the latter type of neecs is indeed being adequately addressed through
thi-s rojett in comb na tion i - othr d or-assi sted training programs If
not tIen soe shi ftng in proportions should be effected
11 Finally to enable continuini assessment of the extent to which project ojectives for the training component are being achieved the
otng system envisaged nder the project should immediately be
establisned and activated

Current Status The above-mentioned purpose is pursued through the implementation of two project components namely (1)Participant Training Component and (2) Development Issues Comoonent As of 31 December 1985 a total of 29 overseas and 15 local training participants nave been supported by the Participant Training Component Meanwhile the Development Issues Component has directed efforts toward the development of the technical base for effective policy analysis Through the conduct of three researches under the broad develoPment issues identified for project attention preparation of concept papers on development planningand policy issues and provision of support for 4 overseas the same
and 34 local training participants As of date the Participant Training Component has
obligated 609 p-r cent of the total loan appropriation it has received so far and 967 per cent of its total grant budget The Developmeit Issues Component on the other hand has obligated 437 per cent of the total loan appropriations and 164 per cent of its total grant budget
I PURPOSE AND TIING OF THE EVALUATION
This evaluation will assess the progress of the implementation of the TDI Project and make reccmmendations for maximizing the projects impact on the development efforts of the Aquino Government It will identify the successful project activities and attempt to explain the advantages these have over ess successful activities It plans to investigate the problems and issues which appear to have hampered or delayedimplementation of the less successful and to determine mechanisms to avoid or resolve them The evaluation also will identiFy and assess new approaches for using project resources to achieve project objectives
More soecifically it will focus on five general areas
a the current status of project implementationb exIec7ations and Perceptions of TDI project by NEDA and USAID and c factors affecting project implementation d selection of DI componenT issues and Training component participants
and e opportunities and mechanisms for improving the project
As scheduled in the project paper the first evaluation will be conducted in FY 86
Based on tne findings the evaluation should recommend whether basicchannes in theproject design and implementation Procedures are necessary The recommendatiors should indicate the advantages and disadvantages of the design and procedural changes advocated

IV TEAM COMIPOSITION
The evaluation team must exhibit a thorough understanding of the following subject areas
1 Operations of the GOP specifically of NEDA and OEM2 Philippine develoDment issues and how these relate to policies3 IMechanics of Ai0 and USAIDPhilippines and4 The nature of the relationshio between USAID and N-DA5 The develooment priorities and opportunities of the Aquino government
The teams comPosition should represent expertise in the fields of organizational planning and management policy-making evaluation and management of research and training activities Given the sensitivities surrounding this project and the importance of this evaluation the teamshould not only be experts in the subject areas above they should also bewell known and respected by both INEDA and AID A team is expected to becomposed of a mix of Philippine and US consulrants or MissionAIDWashington personnel
The team will not have to collect and analyze a great deal of information because there have been very few implementation actions to date Thus asmall team of perhaps three or maybe four highly qualified persons should be sufficient

I BACKGROUND
The Training and Development Issues (TD) Project was designed to improve
the capability of the Philippine Government and other institutions to analyze
development issues and to make sound and timely development related
decisions This objective was sought to be achieved mainly through training
and the conduct of research and related activities on a small number of issues
deemed critical to the sustained pursuit of Philippine development
The project was conceived to address perceii gips in the USAID
assistance program to the Philippines First most previous research
activities had not focused on developing the information needed for effective
decision-making and policy review Second general participant training
projects had lacked specific focus and supporting activities thereby limiting
their impact And third sectorally focused institutional development
projects often could not fully a-hieve their development objectives because
many key policy related factors affecting project success were beyond the
control of the implementing agency
Under the Project Agreement vwhich was signed on 29 July 1983 USAID
committed to provide a total of $42 million in loans ($33 million) and
grants ($09 million) Of this amount $25 million was allocated to the
Development Issues Component and $16 million to the Training Conponent with
$100000 set aside for evaluation USAID funding for the project was
subsequently raised by a $3U0000 grant that brought the total USAID
commi tnent to $45 million Government counterpart funding amounted to $15
million PACD aas set at 31 December 1938

A Diveraence ofZiews on ADproach to Project imlementation
The slow start of the non-training elements of the Development Issues
Component of the TDI Project and its relatively slow progress to-date is
reflective of a fundamental divergence of views between the USAID Mission and the PhiliDDine Governmen implementin aqency for the proh EDA on~ _mni aec o h rject hNEDo
the approach to project implementaticn Specifically while both agree on
(a) the project objective of building up institutional capacities for the
analysis of and subsequent decision-making on key development issues and
(b) on the conduct of research undertakings (including conferences and fora)
to bring this about they dsagree on tne matter of payment for those involved
in the conduct of such research undertakings reflecting a difference in
approach to the at ainment o1 the project s objective
Tile USAID lissions exoectation was that the object-ive would be approached
by focusins goverment personnel attention on particular issues within the
context of their normal functions and thus without additional compensation as
well as by opening up the policy formulation process to a broad spectrum of
participants from outside government thereby enriching the process itself and
the policy recommendations that subsequently emanate from it The outputs
being d dist-illation of hopefully some of the best minds in (and as
necessary out of the country policy-makers ould be better-equipped for
decision-makinQ on zritical issues This would be supplemented by funding
provisions for training in issue-related fields From the foregoing the
Mission lxpectationthat government personnelwas would be actively involved
in te project without extra compensation so that much if not most of the
funds for non-training Development Issue Component activities would be paid
out to non-governmental institutions

B Communication Problems
The fact that the projects principal problems are rooted in basic
interpretational differences would seem to indicate problems in the
communication process between the USAID Mission and the Philippine Government
throuch its implementing agency the NEDA concerning the project indeed
for various reasons this appears to have been the case from the design stage
to at least the early stages of project implementation
1 Project design stage
Because of pressures brought on by approaching US budgetary deadlines in
mid-1983 there was little opportunity for any extensive discussion between
the ilission and the INEDA on the Project Paper which was prepared by the
Mission Staff Indications of the basic differences in expectations with
respect to the approach to project implementation thus began to surface only
in the course of implementation itself as the TDI-PMO based at NEDA began to
endorse for the Missions clearanceapproval specific proposals to use project
funds for non-training activities including equipment procurement
On this particular issue it may be pointed out that the language of the
Project Pap-- was by no means unequivocal in thie discussion of Submission
of Issue Proposals and Selection of issue Activities paragraphs 1 and 2 of
p 11 state that

TWo soecific situations contributed to the insufficiency of
communia-ions rirstly the NJEDA TDI-Project -lanagement and the USAID
Ilission differed on the particular issue of USAID representation in the
Project Steering Committee The Mission had expected to be an ex-officio
member of the Committee the TDI-Project Managements position on the other
hand vias that since the USAIDs role in the Steering Committee as specified
in the Project Agreement was advisory USAID participation in Steering
Committee meetinQs would be strictly on a need basis
Secondly neither the USAID nor more importantly even the NEDA TDI-PM1O
was devoting much time to the project
For example Project Impl ementation Letters setting out pertinent USAID
implementing guidelines and procedures were not issued early on The only
issuance of this nature (PIL NJo 3) came in January 1985 seventeen (17)
months after signing of the Project Agreement setting out the mechanism for
financing the Develoomen- Tssues Component (This represents a sharp contrast
to the Economic and Social Impact Analysis-Women in Development (ESIA-WID)
project in which within a little over three (3)months of the date of signing
of the Project Agreement at least five (5) PILs had been issued setting out
among other things criteria for satisfactory compliance with conditions
precedent guidelines for contracting and exemptions thereto and procedures
and documentation for requesting and liquidating AID Peso advances) Perhaps
this was due to USAID presumpions as to the extent of the project personnels
awareness of USAID rules and procedures

an prioritize poi cy research issues and proposals that bear on Philippine
devel opment
0 Implementation Procedures
Following from the USAID premise of the broadest possible participation in
the policy formulation process the implementation procedures set out in the
Project Paper envisioned extensive use of seminars and conferences (about 30
to 40) in the entire course of project implementation from issue selection to
the presenta-ion of research findings and recommendations These procedures
were adopted in the implementation Plan of the DeveloDMnt issues Component
in the implementation o- zite project to-date however only one such
workshop-conFerence- has been nel d and this in October more tiian1985 two
years from the daze of signing of tne Project Agreemnt The purpose of this
workshop attended by representatives of various research institutions was to
publicize generate interest in and hopefully speed up research formulation
under the Development Issues Component of TDI
Significantly post-orkshop response to the project has been encouraging
wit~is aditionalproposals having already been received on topics in the
Research Agenca as ail as -n others related to it Still others are
currently under preparation From clnis standpoint much improvement may be
expected in the pace of mpement3ation of at least the research element of the
5Development -ssues Component within the coming monthsshy
5 The Steering Committee was scheduled to meet on 14 July 1986 at which approval of research proposals 4ith a total cost of just under $200000 is expected

Coincidentally thirty-four j34) have been in long-term (one-year or more)
pr rams and twenty-five (25) in shorter programs
Based on the foregoing the training component of the TDI Project has to
date been proceeding by and large on schedule This notwithstanding however
it needs to be asked whether the component (including the training element of
the Development issues Component) has been operating in a manner consistent
with the training objectives of the project
B Objectives of Training Activities
As designed the training component of the TDI project was not only to
build upon but to improve on the General Participant Training (GPT) Program of
the 1970s Specifically whiie the GPT Program was observed to have lacked
focus on particular development issues or on specific human resource and
institutional development objectives that thereby limited its overall impact
training activities under the TDI project would support the institutional
objectives of requesting organizations contribute to improving manpower
skills critical to national and regional development and enhance capacities
related to the issues selected under the Development issues Component
Towards this end a survey of training needs of socio-economic
development-related government institutions was undertaken in the early stages
of the project On the basis of criteria approved by the project Steering
Committee survey responses were analyzed to come up with a prioritization of
agencies and of fields of study for funding under the projectshy

D Areas for gtnorovein
The foregoing general observations notwi thstanding however there are
definite areas for improvement in the operation and implementation of training
activities
o e-n viith the priorit zation scheme adopted while useful in guiding
the evaluation of specific requests fo training assistance leaves too much
room for flexibility in decision-making While the need for and the value of
flexibility in a program of this nature recognized too much it couldis of
easily lead to distortions in Program results That this has tended to be the
case is evident from the folloino
a) The predominance of gtEDA itself as recipient institution of the
training grants Of the fifty-nine (59) slots that had been made
available twen-y-two 2) or more thian a thi -d went to IEDA official s
and employees Relative to the slots that went to institutions in the
first priority list (43) the proportion is even higher at slightly
over half While a large proportion of project training funds going
to NEDA staff may be justifiable in terms of the institutions central
role in Philippine development plannin and policy-formulation such a
high proportion of resources going to a single agency is rather
excessive
b) Relatedly the predominance of fields of a general development nature
ie Economics Planning IMlanagement and Public Acimnistration and
Statistics in the fields of training supported under the project
These acounted for forty-four (44) of the fifty nne (59) slots
Again whlle the value of a broad perspective in policy-formulation is
recognized threo-fourtihs of the training allocation going into thi3
19shy
type of general zraining wou d seem to unduly undervalue tiie ieed for
more specza~ized types of poli cy anal vsis called for in many areas of
Phiippine development T is of course Dossble that these needs are
already being addressed tirou-gh projects other than the underone
consideration if so then - e present ellocation under the TDI
Project may well be jusified Unfortunately time constraints have
7 no- enabled -i-oser nvesiation of this mattershy
c) Funding of pr-grans in Law and Justice which though related to
socio economic development policy formulation is at best only
distantly so ParLicipation for instance in programs on American amp
internat-ional a as well as -n the US Legal System by members of
the Regional Trial Courts is to say the least difficult to justify
under tiis project However support towards laster s degrees in
Engineering of which rhere are two probably is justifiable as these
may be classified among the manpower skills critical to national and
regional development
d) Relative imbalance in the distribution of training slots between
participants from central offices and those from the regions Of the
fifty-nine (59) slots made available less than ten have gone to participants from the reg-onai offices Considering the thrust of the
present government towards genuine regionalzation including NEDAs
own interests improvements in this regard are especially called for
For instance the nei government is strengthening the role of the
Regional Development Council- and therefore these may be additional
training needs
_ According to the Hanager of the Participant Training Component this was in fact the case
The seconc road a-ea for improvemert is in monit-ori ng The establ i shment
of a sstem for monitoring of zrain n oarticioants both during and more
importantly after traind1n Was envsioned in thne project design The first
batch or tra nees iho went through one year programs in SY 1934 have been back
on the job for a ear and tiose wiho underwenr shorter programs have been back
for a longe period To cate hovever no back to office monitoring has been
undertken rendr in- di-ficut the assssent of traininc imDact relative to
obj ectives
E Usefulness of Training
Towards this end however limited interviews of immediate supervisors of
returned trai nees wiere carried out in this evaluation to obtain some feel for
the usefulness o1 training to the sponsoring institutions
in general the assessment of training impact has been very positive with
significant improvements observed in the overall depth and breadth of
analytical outputs of returned trainees in one instance however even
before the outset of tne training program the participant was transferred to
another unit to which immediate applicabilit of the training eventua1y
received was minimal thoh nonethelss potentially useful
On the transfer of knowledgeskills acquired to other personnel of the
sponsoring Insitutions the general approach has been through informal
discussions on the j o
- 21 -
V PRQ ECT SGJ I IT AND OUTLOOK
Implementation problems notwithstanding current evidence supports the
continued usefulness off the project towards the objective of building up
institutional capacities for policy analysis and decision-making in the
PhiliPPine bureaucracy The Tax Administration and Compliance Study for
instance thouqh still in the process of finalization has already contributed
siqnificant inputs to the recent formulation of a new Tax Reform Package
Outputs of the on-going research on Sectoral Classification of Trade and
Inve ment Data are already being programmed for use in the current drafting
of the Philippine Development Plan for 1987-1992 Limited interviews have
also established the positive contributions of training supported under the
project in terms of improved overall quality of analytical work of returned
trainees
The potential impact of the project is further considerably enhanced by
the fact of a new government which is seriously engaged in a broad-ranging
effort to review and as needed recast the whole gamut of policies
structures and procedures that intimately affect both the current and the
future life of the nation
In terms of project operations recent developments augur well for
improvements not only in the pace of project implementation but also in terms
of broadening the projects overall impact In the case of the Development
Issues Component mention has already been made of positive expectations
resultina from the workshop on the Research Agenda conducted in late 1935
Significantly because of the materially improved response that resulted from
thc workshop the TDI-PMO has decided to convene similar workshops on a
regular basis possibly twice a year

unlikely the full ip1ementation of The project within the current PACD
Furthermore the Pr o- ed mod ficiDns in the operating scheme of the
training component ioulc also take some time to work out Accordingly the
7oTDI-P1O is exoected put forard to USAID a request for a two-year extension
of the current PASD f the project is extended then there will be need for
another evaiua-ion in two years
VI RECOMME IDATI OS
in light of all of the foregoing the following recommendations are herein
made with respect to the TDI project
1 The project should continue and the PACD extended by two years to
December 1990
2 Should the Precedinig reccmmendation be approved another evaluation of
the project should be schedule- in thc first half of 1988
3 To contribute to the easing of the countrys debt servicing
difficulties and in consideration of the diffused social benefits of the
project the entire unearmarked loan allocation to the project should be
converted to outright grant
4 To enhance smooth and timely implementation of the project as a whole
and in particular of the non-training elements of the Development issues
Component a clear resolution of the issues that have herein been identified
as having largely held back proect progress should be made and agreements
reached should be clearly set out in project implementation letters
Critical items in this regard are the whole apProach to project
implementation and the related question of compensation for government
personnel and the issue of USAID membership in the Project Steering

7 For reasons that have already been indicated elsewhere in this
report at of part ofleast the management the procedures of the Development
Issues component (which now excludes training) should be transferred or
subcontracted to the Philippine Institute for Development Studies (PIDS) which
has consideraile experience with managing research and working with USAID
8 To improve the implementation of the development issues component
(a) The Steering Committee especially in light of the priorities of
the new GOP administration should focus and prioritize the Agenda of Areas of
Research This should be done with the intent of selecting only a limited
number of development issues in order to concentrate efforts involve more
institutions in the same topic and culminate through a series of activities
in concrete policy recommendations
(b) TDI-PI0 should implement present plans for more frequent workshops
and advertisements to solicit research proposals and to broaden participation
(c) In addition high level NEDA officials should continue to endeavor
to involve directly other ministers and deputy ministers in the selection of
development issue topics research assignments and discussions of results
NEDA should continue to make readily available TDI resources to other
ministries
(d) The regular selection process should be made simpler and quicker
through such steps as greater discretionary power to the NEDA-TDI Project
Manager to approve proposals on already cleared topics without further
approval of the Steering Committee or USAIO up to a limit of say $15000
per proposal
(e) An alternative formechanism selecting consultants should be
designed to meet immediate short-term needs The NEDA-TDI project manager
should have greater authority to initiate on his own within topic guidelines
approved by the Steering Committee and USAID consultancy contracts This
authority snould be limited both as to amount of any individual contract say
$15000 and to the total amount of all such contracts for the year say
$100000
9 The Evaluation Team endorses the TDI-PMO proposals for improving the
overall effectiveness and impact of training activities Specifically
(a)A more detailed training plan for the balance of the project
duration should be prepared based on an updated assessment of institutional
training needs The team feels that in this assessment special attention
should be given to the needs of regional offices Further while maximum
adherence to the formulated plan is desirable provision for some degree of
flexibility should also be allowed to enable the project to respond to
unforeseen but urgent training requirements that may arise in the course of
implemfentation For this purpose ten (10) per cent of the uncommitted
balance of the training allocation could remain unprogrammed and availed of
largely on a need basis
(b) Institutional participation in the training component should be
broadened not so much however by increasing the number of participating
institutions (although possibly that too) but more through the provision of
proportionately more slots to institutions that have been determined to rank
high in the institutional prioritization scheme
(c) Participation from the regional levels should be increased and
perhaps even given priority
(d) Extension of funding support to training in suitable fields in
selected regional training institutions in the country should be undertaken
n this reard full consi deration should be given toi nci uding training
ororms 7 rv ate -c--nal insi tutions The proposal to explore the
devloomnt of a aster s roram in DcveloDment Economics at the UP in
Diliman is siMilarlI endorsed
10 7n add-isn to the forejoing a reassessment of the distribution of
ii-s is-ai r 1 ly t iclh general and te more
setor-soecifiPopo1 cy analysi s stud prcgrams should be unde rtaken to ensure
th t the latter type of neecs is indeed being adequately addressed through
thi-s rojett in comb na tion i - othr d or-assi sted training programs If
not tIen soe shi ftng in proportions should be effected
11 Finally to enable continuini assessment of the extent to which project ojectives for the training component are being achieved the
otng system envisaged nder the project should immediately be
establisned and activated

IV TEAM COMIPOSITION
The evaluation team must exhibit a thorough understanding of the following subject areas
1 Operations of the GOP specifically of NEDA and OEM2 Philippine develoDment issues and how these relate to policies3 IMechanics of Ai0 and USAIDPhilippines and4 The nature of the relationshio between USAID and N-DA5 The develooment priorities and opportunities of the Aquino government
The teams comPosition should represent expertise in the fields of organizational planning and management policy-making evaluation and management of research and training activities Given the sensitivities surrounding this project and the importance of this evaluation the teamshould not only be experts in the subject areas above they should also bewell known and respected by both INEDA and AID A team is expected to becomposed of a mix of Philippine and US consulrants or MissionAIDWashington personnel
The team will not have to collect and analyze a great deal of information because there have been very few implementation actions to date Thus asmall team of perhaps three or maybe four highly qualified persons should be sufficient

I BACKGROUND
The Training and Development Issues (TD) Project was designed to improve
the capability of the Philippine Government and other institutions to analyze
development issues and to make sound and timely development related
decisions This objective was sought to be achieved mainly through training
and the conduct of research and related activities on a small number of issues
deemed critical to the sustained pursuit of Philippine development
The project was conceived to address perceii gips in the USAID
assistance program to the Philippines First most previous research
activities had not focused on developing the information needed for effective
decision-making and policy review Second general participant training
projects had lacked specific focus and supporting activities thereby limiting
their impact And third sectorally focused institutional development
projects often could not fully a-hieve their development objectives because
many key policy related factors affecting project success were beyond the
control of the implementing agency
Under the Project Agreement vwhich was signed on 29 July 1983 USAID
committed to provide a total of $42 million in loans ($33 million) and
grants ($09 million) Of this amount $25 million was allocated to the
Development Issues Component and $16 million to the Training Conponent with
$100000 set aside for evaluation USAID funding for the project was
subsequently raised by a $3U0000 grant that brought the total USAID
commi tnent to $45 million Government counterpart funding amounted to $15
million PACD aas set at 31 December 1938

A Diveraence ofZiews on ADproach to Project imlementation
The slow start of the non-training elements of the Development Issues
Component of the TDI Project and its relatively slow progress to-date is
reflective of a fundamental divergence of views between the USAID Mission and the PhiliDDine Governmen implementin aqency for the proh EDA on~ _mni aec o h rject hNEDo
the approach to project implementaticn Specifically while both agree on
(a) the project objective of building up institutional capacities for the
analysis of and subsequent decision-making on key development issues and
(b) on the conduct of research undertakings (including conferences and fora)
to bring this about they dsagree on tne matter of payment for those involved
in the conduct of such research undertakings reflecting a difference in
approach to the at ainment o1 the project s objective
Tile USAID lissions exoectation was that the object-ive would be approached
by focusins goverment personnel attention on particular issues within the
context of their normal functions and thus without additional compensation as
well as by opening up the policy formulation process to a broad spectrum of
participants from outside government thereby enriching the process itself and
the policy recommendations that subsequently emanate from it The outputs
being d dist-illation of hopefully some of the best minds in (and as
necessary out of the country policy-makers ould be better-equipped for
decision-makinQ on zritical issues This would be supplemented by funding
provisions for training in issue-related fields From the foregoing the
Mission lxpectationthat government personnelwas would be actively involved
in te project without extra compensation so that much if not most of the
funds for non-training Development Issue Component activities would be paid
out to non-governmental institutions

B Communication Problems
The fact that the projects principal problems are rooted in basic
interpretational differences would seem to indicate problems in the
communication process between the USAID Mission and the Philippine Government
throuch its implementing agency the NEDA concerning the project indeed
for various reasons this appears to have been the case from the design stage
to at least the early stages of project implementation
1 Project design stage
Because of pressures brought on by approaching US budgetary deadlines in
mid-1983 there was little opportunity for any extensive discussion between
the ilission and the INEDA on the Project Paper which was prepared by the
Mission Staff Indications of the basic differences in expectations with
respect to the approach to project implementation thus began to surface only
in the course of implementation itself as the TDI-PMO based at NEDA began to
endorse for the Missions clearanceapproval specific proposals to use project
funds for non-training activities including equipment procurement
On this particular issue it may be pointed out that the language of the
Project Pap-- was by no means unequivocal in thie discussion of Submission
of Issue Proposals and Selection of issue Activities paragraphs 1 and 2 of
p 11 state that
A wide variety of organizations are expected to submit proposals and
thus be eligible for implementing ac-ivities These include (a) units
within NEDA (b)GOP agencies (c) Local governments (d)Government

TWo soecific situations contributed to the insufficiency of
communia-ions rirstly the NJEDA TDI-Project -lanagement and the USAID
Ilission differed on the particular issue of USAID representation in the
Project Steering Committee The Mission had expected to be an ex-officio
member of the Committee the TDI-Project Managements position on the other
hand vias that since the USAIDs role in the Steering Committee as specified
in the Project Agreement was advisory USAID participation in Steering
Committee meetinQs would be strictly on a need basis
Secondly neither the USAID nor more importantly even the NEDA TDI-PM1O
was devoting much time to the project
For example Project Impl ementation Letters setting out pertinent USAID
implementing guidelines and procedures were not issued early on The only
issuance of this nature (PIL NJo 3) came in January 1985 seventeen (17)
months after signing of the Project Agreement setting out the mechanism for
financing the Develoomen- Tssues Component (This represents a sharp contrast
to the Economic and Social Impact Analysis-Women in Development (ESIA-WID)
project in which within a little over three (3)months of the date of signing
of the Project Agreement at least five (5) PILs had been issued setting out
among other things criteria for satisfactory compliance with conditions
precedent guidelines for contracting and exemptions thereto and procedures
and documentation for requesting and liquidating AID Peso advances) Perhaps
this was due to USAID presumpions as to the extent of the project personnels
awareness of USAID rules and procedures

an prioritize poi cy research issues and proposals that bear on Philippine
devel opment
0 Implementation Procedures
Following from the USAID premise of the broadest possible participation in
the policy formulation process the implementation procedures set out in the
Project Paper envisioned extensive use of seminars and conferences (about 30
to 40) in the entire course of project implementation from issue selection to
the presenta-ion of research findings and recommendations These procedures
were adopted in the implementation Plan of the DeveloDMnt issues Component
in the implementation o- zite project to-date however only one such
workshop-conFerence- has been nel d and this in October more tiian1985 two
years from the daze of signing of tne Project Agreemnt The purpose of this
workshop attended by representatives of various research institutions was to
publicize generate interest in and hopefully speed up research formulation
under the Development Issues Component of TDI
Significantly post-orkshop response to the project has been encouraging
wit~is aditionalproposals having already been received on topics in the
Research Agenca as ail as -n others related to it Still others are
currently under preparation From clnis standpoint much improvement may be
expected in the pace of mpement3ation of at least the research element of the
5Development -ssues Component within the coming monthsshy
5 The Steering Committee was scheduled to meet on 14 July 1986 at which approval of research proposals 4ith a total cost of just under $200000 is expected

Coincidentally thirty-four j34) have been in long-term (one-year or more)
pr rams and twenty-five (25) in shorter programs
Based on the foregoing the training component of the TDI Project has to
date been proceeding by and large on schedule This notwithstanding however
it needs to be asked whether the component (including the training element of
the Development issues Component) has been operating in a manner consistent
with the training objectives of the project
B Objectives of Training Activities
As designed the training component of the TDI project was not only to
build upon but to improve on the General Participant Training (GPT) Program of
the 1970s Specifically whiie the GPT Program was observed to have lacked
focus on particular development issues or on specific human resource and
institutional development objectives that thereby limited its overall impact
training activities under the TDI project would support the institutional
objectives of requesting organizations contribute to improving manpower
skills critical to national and regional development and enhance capacities
related to the issues selected under the Development issues Component
Towards this end a survey of training needs of socio-economic
development-related government institutions was undertaken in the early stages
of the project On the basis of criteria approved by the project Steering
Committee survey responses were analyzed to come up with a prioritization of
agencies and of fields of study for funding under the projectshy

D Areas for gtnorovein
The foregoing general observations notwi thstanding however there are
definite areas for improvement in the operation and implementation of training
activities
o e-n viith the priorit zation scheme adopted while useful in guiding
the evaluation of specific requests fo training assistance leaves too much
room for flexibility in decision-making While the need for and the value of
flexibility in a program of this nature recognized too much it couldis of
easily lead to distortions in Program results That this has tended to be the
case is evident from the folloino
a) The predominance of gtEDA itself as recipient institution of the
training grants Of the fifty-nine (59) slots that had been made
available twen-y-two 2) or more thian a thi -d went to IEDA official s
and employees Relative to the slots that went to institutions in the
first priority list (43) the proportion is even higher at slightly
over half While a large proportion of project training funds going
to NEDA staff may be justifiable in terms of the institutions central
role in Philippine development plannin and policy-formulation such a
high proportion of resources going to a single agency is rather
excessive
b) Relatedly the predominance of fields of a general development nature
ie Economics Planning IMlanagement and Public Acimnistration and
Statistics in the fields of training supported under the project
These acounted for forty-four (44) of the fifty nne (59) slots
Again whlle the value of a broad perspective in policy-formulation is
recognized threo-fourtihs of the training allocation going into thi3
19shy
type of general zraining wou d seem to unduly undervalue tiie ieed for
more specza~ized types of poli cy anal vsis called for in many areas of
Phiippine development T is of course Dossble that these needs are
already being addressed tirou-gh projects other than the underone
consideration if so then - e present ellocation under the TDI
Project may well be jusified Unfortunately time constraints have
7 no- enabled -i-oser nvesiation of this mattershy
c) Funding of pr-grans in Law and Justice which though related to
socio economic development policy formulation is at best only
distantly so ParLicipation for instance in programs on American amp
internat-ional a as well as -n the US Legal System by members of
the Regional Trial Courts is to say the least difficult to justify
under tiis project However support towards laster s degrees in
Engineering of which rhere are two probably is justifiable as these
may be classified among the manpower skills critical to national and
regional development
d) Relative imbalance in the distribution of training slots between
participants from central offices and those from the regions Of the
fifty-nine (59) slots made available less than ten have gone to participants from the reg-onai offices Considering the thrust of the
present government towards genuine regionalzation including NEDAs
own interests improvements in this regard are especially called for
For instance the nei government is strengthening the role of the
Regional Development Council- and therefore these may be additional
training needs
_ According to the Hanager of the Participant Training Component this was in fact the case
The seconc road a-ea for improvemert is in monit-ori ng The establ i shment
of a sstem for monitoring of zrain n oarticioants both during and more
importantly after traind1n Was envsioned in thne project design The first
batch or tra nees iho went through one year programs in SY 1934 have been back
on the job for a ear and tiose wiho underwenr shorter programs have been back
for a longe period To cate hovever no back to office monitoring has been
undertken rendr in- di-ficut the assssent of traininc imDact relative to
obj ectives
E Usefulness of Training
Towards this end however limited interviews of immediate supervisors of
returned trai nees wiere carried out in this evaluation to obtain some feel for
the usefulness o1 training to the sponsoring institutions
in general the assessment of training impact has been very positive with
significant improvements observed in the overall depth and breadth of
analytical outputs of returned trainees in one instance however even
before the outset of tne training program the participant was transferred to
another unit to which immediate applicabilit of the training eventua1y
received was minimal thoh nonethelss potentially useful
On the transfer of knowledgeskills acquired to other personnel of the
sponsoring Insitutions the general approach has been through informal
discussions on the j o
- 21 -
V PRQ ECT SGJ I IT AND OUTLOOK
Implementation problems notwithstanding current evidence supports the
continued usefulness off the project towards the objective of building up
institutional capacities for policy analysis and decision-making in the
PhiliPPine bureaucracy The Tax Administration and Compliance Study for
instance thouqh still in the process of finalization has already contributed
siqnificant inputs to the recent formulation of a new Tax Reform Package
Outputs of the on-going research on Sectoral Classification of Trade and
Inve ment Data are already being programmed for use in the current drafting
of the Philippine Development Plan for 1987-1992 Limited interviews have
also established the positive contributions of training supported under the
project in terms of improved overall quality of analytical work of returned
trainees
The potential impact of the project is further considerably enhanced by
the fact of a new government which is seriously engaged in a broad-ranging
effort to review and as needed recast the whole gamut of policies
structures and procedures that intimately affect both the current and the
future life of the nation
In terms of project operations recent developments augur well for
improvements not only in the pace of project implementation but also in terms
of broadening the projects overall impact In the case of the Development
Issues Component mention has already been made of positive expectations
resultina from the workshop on the Research Agenda conducted in late 1935
Significantly because of the materially improved response that resulted from
thc workshop the TDI-PMO has decided to convene similar workshops on a
regular basis possibly twice a year

unlikely the full ip1ementation of The project within the current PACD
Furthermore the Pr o- ed mod ficiDns in the operating scheme of the
training component ioulc also take some time to work out Accordingly the
7oTDI-P1O is exoected put forard to USAID a request for a two-year extension
of the current PASD f the project is extended then there will be need for
another evaiua-ion in two years
VI RECOMME IDATI OS
in light of all of the foregoing the following recommendations are herein
made with respect to the TDI project
1 The project should continue and the PACD extended by two years to
December 1990
2 Should the Precedinig reccmmendation be approved another evaluation of
the project should be schedule- in thc first half of 1988
3 To contribute to the easing of the countrys debt servicing
difficulties and in consideration of the diffused social benefits of the
project the entire unearmarked loan allocation to the project should be
converted to outright grant
4 To enhance smooth and timely implementation of the project as a whole
and in particular of the non-training elements of the Development issues
Component a clear resolution of the issues that have herein been identified
as having largely held back proect progress should be made and agreements
reached should be clearly set out in project implementation letters
Critical items in this regard are the whole apProach to project
implementation and the related question of compensation for government
personnel and the issue of USAID membership in the Project Steering

7 For reasons that have already been indicated elsewhere in this
report at of part ofleast the management the procedures of the Development
Issues component (which now excludes training) should be transferred or
subcontracted to the Philippine Institute for Development Studies (PIDS) which
has consideraile experience with managing research and working with USAID
8 To improve the implementation of the development issues component
(a) The Steering Committee especially in light of the priorities of
the new GOP administration should focus and prioritize the Agenda of Areas of
Research This should be done with the intent of selecting only a limited
number of development issues in order to concentrate efforts involve more
institutions in the same topic and culminate through a series of activities
in concrete policy recommendations
(b) TDI-PI0 should implement present plans for more frequent workshops
and advertisements to solicit research proposals and to broaden participation
(c) In addition high level NEDA officials should continue to endeavor
to involve directly other ministers and deputy ministers in the selection of
development issue topics research assignments and discussions of results
NEDA should continue to make readily available TDI resources to other
ministries
(d) The regular selection process should be made simpler and quicker
through such steps as greater discretionary power to the NEDA-TDI Project
Manager to approve proposals on already cleared topics without further
approval of the Steering Committee or USAIO up to a limit of say $15000
per proposal
(e) An alternative formechanism selecting consultants should be
designed to meet immediate short-term needs The NEDA-TDI project manager
should have greater authority to initiate on his own within topic guidelines
approved by the Steering Committee and USAID consultancy contracts This
authority snould be limited both as to amount of any individual contract say
$15000 and to the total amount of all such contracts for the year say
$100000
9 The Evaluation Team endorses the TDI-PMO proposals for improving the
overall effectiveness and impact of training activities Specifically
(a)A more detailed training plan for the balance of the project
duration should be prepared based on an updated assessment of institutional
training needs The team feels that in this assessment special attention
should be given to the needs of regional offices Further while maximum
adherence to the formulated plan is desirable provision for some degree of
flexibility should also be allowed to enable the project to respond to
unforeseen but urgent training requirements that may arise in the course of
implemfentation For this purpose ten (10) per cent of the uncommitted
balance of the training allocation could remain unprogrammed and availed of
largely on a need basis
(b) Institutional participation in the training component should be
broadened not so much however by increasing the number of participating
institutions (although possibly that too) but more through the provision of
proportionately more slots to institutions that have been determined to rank
high in the institutional prioritization scheme
(c) Participation from the regional levels should be increased and
perhaps even given priority
(d) Extension of funding support to training in suitable fields in
selected regional training institutions in the country should be undertaken
n this reard full consi deration should be given toi nci uding training
ororms 7 rv ate -c--nal insi tutions The proposal to explore the
devloomnt of a aster s roram in DcveloDment Economics at the UP in
Diliman is siMilarlI endorsed
10 7n add-isn to the forejoing a reassessment of the distribution of
ii-s is-ai r 1 ly t iclh general and te more
setor-soecifiPopo1 cy analysi s stud prcgrams should be unde rtaken to ensure
th t the latter type of neecs is indeed being adequately addressed through
thi-s rojett in comb na tion i - othr d or-assi sted training programs If
not tIen soe shi ftng in proportions should be effected
11 Finally to enable continuini assessment of the extent to which project ojectives for the training component are being achieved the
otng system envisaged nder the project should immediately be
establisned and activated

I PURPOSE AND TIING OF THE EVALUATION
This evaluation will assess the progress of the implementation of the TDI Project and make reccmmendations for maximizing the projects impact on the development efforts of the Aquino Government It will identify the successful project activities and attempt to explain the advantages these have over ess successful activities It plans to investigate the problems and issues which appear to have hampered or delayedimplementation of the less successful and to determine mechanisms to avoid or resolve them The evaluation also will identiFy and assess new approaches for using project resources to achieve project objectives
More soecifically it will focus on five general areas
a the current status of project implementationb exIec7ations and Perceptions of TDI project by NEDA and USAID and c factors affecting project implementation d selection of DI componenT issues and Training component participants
and e opportunities and mechanisms for improving the project
As scheduled in the project paper the first evaluation will be conducted in FY 86
Based on tne findings the evaluation should recommend whether basicchannes in theproject design and implementation Procedures are necessary The recommendatiors should indicate the advantages and disadvantages of the design and procedural changes advocated
III QUESTIONS FOR THE EVALUATION TEAM
A Current Status
7S imDlementation of the TDI Project proceeding as planned What are thevariances between projected and observed schedules for implementing the training and development issues components of the project If such variances exist what are their probable impact on the overall impIlmentation Plan Is it likely that the project purpose will be achieved by the PACD
B Expectations and Perceotions
What are NEDAs and AIDs expectations and perceptions regarding the project design implementation procedures factors hinderingimplementation beneficiary groups etc What are AIDs expectations of the NEDA TDI-Project Management Office (TDI-PMO) regarding the latters implementation procedures What are TDI-PMO expectations of USAID regarding project supportbackstopping How do NEDAs and AIDs percepticns compare with actual implementation procedures Are both sidessatisfied with the manner by which the implementation process is proceeding 1f not what are the areas and reasons for dissatisfaction
C Factors Affectino Project Imolementation
What factors explain the progress or lack of progress of both the trainingand development issues components What are the major factors contributing to delays in project implmentation Are the delays a function of project design How were the guidelines in the PP and other ooverning documents applied Are the assumptions underlying the projectdesign and iMPlementation plans valid How can the NEDA TDi-ProjectManagement Office (TDI-PMO) further raise its institutional capability eg staff availability and appropriate organizational structure to implement the plan as scheduled How can USAID further improve itsbackstopping for the project Are there external factors eg lack of interest in potential participant organizations affectingimplementation Are there budget-related problems such provision ofas

0 Selection Proesses
Do TDi-PMO and AID agree on the general issues selected for DI componentfocus and on the process used to select these issues Do TDI-PMO and AID agree on the more sDecific interpretation of these issues and the procedures for eiiciting research proposals and choosing projectprODonents _7fthere are contrasting interpreta ions do these dif f erenc-s a- iPlemen ation- of the D1 component Is access to theDI component widely known to potential individualinstitutional participant-s Do TDI-PMO and AID agree on the process used to select training particiDsants 11hatfactors are the most imoor-ant in theparticipant selection process Does TDI financed training focus on the development issues facing the country
E Mechanism for mrovina the Project
What basic chances in projet design or IEDA and AID procedures are required to achieve project objectives What changes are needed to improve implementaion Should the project improve the process of ientifvin- sub-issues for research identifying research institutionssoliciting proposais for ssues research and trainingi or selectingtraining activi ti Should project resources be shi fed between components Are additional grant or loan funds required Should theproject be coninued 11hat alternative project approaches could be used to better achieve project objectives
IV TEAM COMIPOSITION
The evaluation team must exhibit a thorough understanding of the following subject areas
1 Operations of the GOP specifically of NEDA and OEM2 Philippine develoDment issues and how these relate to policies3 IMechanics of Ai0 and USAIDPhilippines and4 The nature of the relationshio between USAID and N-DA5 The develooment priorities and opportunities of the Aquino government
The teams comPosition should represent expertise in the fields of organizational planning and management policy-making evaluation and management of research and training activities Given the sensitivities surrounding this project and the importance of this evaluation the teamshould not only be experts in the subject areas above they should also bewell known and respected by both INEDA and AID A team is expected to becomposed of a mix of Philippine and US consulrants or MissionAIDWashington personnel
The team will not have to collect and analyze a great deal of information because there have been very few implementation actions to date Thus asmall team of perhaps three or maybe four highly qualified persons should be sufficient

I BACKGROUND
The Training and Development Issues (TD) Project was designed to improve
the capability of the Philippine Government and other institutions to analyze
development issues and to make sound and timely development related
decisions This objective was sought to be achieved mainly through training
and the conduct of research and related activities on a small number of issues
deemed critical to the sustained pursuit of Philippine development
The project was conceived to address perceii gips in the USAID
assistance program to the Philippines First most previous research
activities had not focused on developing the information needed for effective
decision-making and policy review Second general participant training
projects had lacked specific focus and supporting activities thereby limiting
their impact And third sectorally focused institutional development
projects often could not fully a-hieve their development objectives because
many key policy related factors affecting project success were beyond the
control of the implementing agency
Under the Project Agreement vwhich was signed on 29 July 1983 USAID
committed to provide a total of $42 million in loans ($33 million) and
grants ($09 million) Of this amount $25 million was allocated to the
Development Issues Component and $16 million to the Training Conponent with
$100000 set aside for evaluation USAID funding for the project was
subsequently raised by a $3U0000 grant that brought the total USAID
commi tnent to $45 million Government counterpart funding amounted to $15
million PACD aas set at 31 December 1938

A Diveraence ofZiews on ADproach to Project imlementation
The slow start of the non-training elements of the Development Issues
Component of the TDI Project and its relatively slow progress to-date is
reflective of a fundamental divergence of views between the USAID Mission and the PhiliDDine Governmen implementin aqency for the proh EDA on~ _mni aec o h rject hNEDo
the approach to project implementaticn Specifically while both agree on
(a) the project objective of building up institutional capacities for the
analysis of and subsequent decision-making on key development issues and
(b) on the conduct of research undertakings (including conferences and fora)
to bring this about they dsagree on tne matter of payment for those involved
in the conduct of such research undertakings reflecting a difference in
approach to the at ainment o1 the project s objective
Tile USAID lissions exoectation was that the object-ive would be approached
by focusins goverment personnel attention on particular issues within the
context of their normal functions and thus without additional compensation as
well as by opening up the policy formulation process to a broad spectrum of
participants from outside government thereby enriching the process itself and
the policy recommendations that subsequently emanate from it The outputs
being d dist-illation of hopefully some of the best minds in (and as
necessary out of the country policy-makers ould be better-equipped for
decision-makinQ on zritical issues This would be supplemented by funding
provisions for training in issue-related fields From the foregoing the
Mission lxpectationthat government personnelwas would be actively involved
in te project without extra compensation so that much if not most of the
funds for non-training Development Issue Component activities would be paid
out to non-governmental institutions

B Communication Problems
The fact that the projects principal problems are rooted in basic
interpretational differences would seem to indicate problems in the
communication process between the USAID Mission and the Philippine Government
throuch its implementing agency the NEDA concerning the project indeed
for various reasons this appears to have been the case from the design stage
to at least the early stages of project implementation
1 Project design stage
Because of pressures brought on by approaching US budgetary deadlines in
mid-1983 there was little opportunity for any extensive discussion between
the ilission and the INEDA on the Project Paper which was prepared by the
Mission Staff Indications of the basic differences in expectations with
respect to the approach to project implementation thus began to surface only
in the course of implementation itself as the TDI-PMO based at NEDA began to
endorse for the Missions clearanceapproval specific proposals to use project
funds for non-training activities including equipment procurement
On this particular issue it may be pointed out that the language of the
Project Pap-- was by no means unequivocal in thie discussion of Submission
of Issue Proposals and Selection of issue Activities paragraphs 1 and 2 of
p 11 state that
A wide variety of organizations are expected to submit proposals and
thus be eligible for implementing ac-ivities These include (a) units
within NEDA (b)GOP agencies (c) Local governments (d)Government

TWo soecific situations contributed to the insufficiency of
communia-ions rirstly the NJEDA TDI-Project -lanagement and the USAID
Ilission differed on the particular issue of USAID representation in the
Project Steering Committee The Mission had expected to be an ex-officio
member of the Committee the TDI-Project Managements position on the other
hand vias that since the USAIDs role in the Steering Committee as specified
in the Project Agreement was advisory USAID participation in Steering
Committee meetinQs would be strictly on a need basis
Secondly neither the USAID nor more importantly even the NEDA TDI-PM1O
was devoting much time to the project
For example Project Impl ementation Letters setting out pertinent USAID
implementing guidelines and procedures were not issued early on The only
issuance of this nature (PIL NJo 3) came in January 1985 seventeen (17)
months after signing of the Project Agreement setting out the mechanism for
financing the Develoomen- Tssues Component (This represents a sharp contrast
to the Economic and Social Impact Analysis-Women in Development (ESIA-WID)
project in which within a little over three (3)months of the date of signing
of the Project Agreement at least five (5) PILs had been issued setting out
among other things criteria for satisfactory compliance with conditions
precedent guidelines for contracting and exemptions thereto and procedures
and documentation for requesting and liquidating AID Peso advances) Perhaps
this was due to USAID presumpions as to the extent of the project personnels
awareness of USAID rules and procedures

devel opment
0 Implementation Procedures
Following from the USAID premise of the broadest possible participation in
the policy formulation process the implementation procedures set out in the
Project Paper envisioned extensive use of seminars and conferences (about 30
to 40) in the entire course of project implementation from issue selection to
the presenta-ion of research findings and recommendations These procedures
were adopted in the implementation Plan of the DeveloDMnt issues Component
in the implementation o- zite project to-date however only one such
workshop-conFerence- has been nel d and this in October more tiian1985 two
years from the daze of signing of tne Project Agreemnt The purpose of this
workshop attended by representatives of various research institutions was to
publicize generate interest in and hopefully speed up research formulation
under the Development Issues Component of TDI
Significantly post-orkshop response to the project has been encouraging
wit~is aditionalproposals having already been received on topics in the
Research Agenca as ail as -n others related to it Still others are
currently under preparation From clnis standpoint much improvement may be
expected in the pace of mpement3ation of at least the research element of the
5Development -ssues Component within the coming monthsshy
5 The Steering Committee was scheduled to meet on 14 July 1986 at which approval of research proposals 4ith a total cost of just under $200000 is expected

Coincidentally thirty-four j34) have been in long-term (one-year or more)
pr rams and twenty-five (25) in shorter programs
Based on the foregoing the training component of the TDI Project has to
date been proceeding by and large on schedule This notwithstanding however
it needs to be asked whether the component (including the training element of
the Development issues Component) has been operating in a manner consistent
with the training objectives of the project
B Objectives of Training Activities
As designed the training component of the TDI project was not only to
build upon but to improve on the General Participant Training (GPT) Program of
the 1970s Specifically whiie the GPT Program was observed to have lacked
focus on particular development issues or on specific human resource and
institutional development objectives that thereby limited its overall impact
training activities under the TDI project would support the institutional
objectives of requesting organizations contribute to improving manpower
skills critical to national and regional development and enhance capacities
related to the issues selected under the Development issues Component
Towards this end a survey of training needs of socio-economic
development-related government institutions was undertaken in the early stages
of the project On the basis of criteria approved by the project Steering
Committee survey responses were analyzed to come up with a prioritization of
agencies and of fields of study for funding under the projectshy

D Areas for gtnorovein
The foregoing general observations notwi thstanding however there are
definite areas for improvement in the operation and implementation of training
activities
o e-n viith the priorit zation scheme adopted while useful in guiding
the evaluation of specific requests fo training assistance leaves too much
room for flexibility in decision-making While the need for and the value of
flexibility in a program of this nature recognized too much it couldis of
easily lead to distortions in Program results That this has tended to be the
case is evident from the folloino
a) The predominance of gtEDA itself as recipient institution of the
training grants Of the fifty-nine (59) slots that had been made
available twen-y-two 2) or more thian a thi -d went to IEDA official s
and employees Relative to the slots that went to institutions in the
first priority list (43) the proportion is even higher at slightly
over half While a large proportion of project training funds going
to NEDA staff may be justifiable in terms of the institutions central
role in Philippine development plannin and policy-formulation such a
high proportion of resources going to a single agency is rather
excessive
b) Relatedly the predominance of fields of a general development nature
ie Economics Planning IMlanagement and Public Acimnistration and

type of general zraining wou d seem to unduly undervalue tiie ieed for
more specza~ized types of poli cy anal vsis called for in many areas of
Phiippine development T is of course Dossble that these needs are
already being addressed tirou-gh projects other than the underone
consideration if so then - e present ellocation under the TDI
Project may well be jusified Unfortunately time constraints have
7 no- enabled -i-oser nvesiation of this mattershy
c) Funding of pr-grans in Law and Justice which though related to
socio economic development policy formulation is at best only
distantly so ParLicipation for instance in programs on American amp
internat-ional a as well as -n the US Legal System by members of
the Regional Trial Courts is to say the least difficult to justify
under tiis project However support towards laster s degrees in
Engineering of which rhere are two probably is justifiable as these
may be classified among the manpower skills critical to national and
regional development
d) Relative imbalance in the distribution of training slots between
participants from central offices and those from the regions Of the
fifty-nine (59) slots made available less than ten have gone to participants from the reg-onai offices Considering the thrust of the
present government towards genuine regionalzation including NEDAs
own interests improvements in this regard are especially called for
For instance the nei government is strengthening the role of the
Regional Development Council- and therefore these may be additional
training needs
_ According to the Hanager of the Participant Training Component this was in fact the case
The seconc road a-ea for improvemert is in monit-ori ng The establ i shment
of a sstem for monitoring of zrain n oarticioants both during and more
importantly after traind1n Was envsioned in thne project design The first
batch or tra nees iho went through one year programs in SY 1934 have been back
on the job for a ear and tiose wiho underwenr shorter programs have been back

obj ectives
E Usefulness of Training
Towards this end however limited interviews of immediate supervisors of
returned trai nees wiere carried out in this evaluation to obtain some feel for
the usefulness o1 training to the sponsoring institutions
in general the assessment of training impact has been very positive with
significant improvements observed in the overall depth and breadth of
analytical outputs of returned trainees in one instance however even
before the outset of tne training program the participant was transferred to
another unit to which immediate applicabilit of the training eventua1y
received was minimal thoh nonethelss potentially useful
On the transfer of knowledgeskills acquired to other personnel of the
sponsoring Insitutions the general approach has been through informal
discussions on the j o

V PRQ ECT SGJ I IT AND OUTLOOK
Implementation problems notwithstanding current evidence supports the
continued usefulness off the project towards the objective of building up
institutional capacities for policy analysis and decision-making in the
PhiliPPine bureaucracy The Tax Administration and Compliance Study for
instance thouqh still in the process of finalization has already contributed
siqnificant inputs to the recent formulation of a new Tax Reform Package
Outputs of the on-going research on Sectoral Classification of Trade and
Inve ment Data are already being programmed for use in the current drafting
of the Philippine Development Plan for 1987-1992 Limited interviews have
also established the positive contributions of training supported under the
project in terms of improved overall quality of analytical work of returned
trainees
The potential impact of the project is further considerably enhanced by
the fact of a new government which is seriously engaged in a broad-ranging
effort to review and as needed recast the whole gamut of policies
structures and procedures that intimately affect both the current and the
future life of the nation
In terms of project operations recent developments augur well for
improvements not only in the pace of project implementation but also in terms
of broadening the projects overall impact In the case of the Development
Issues Component mention has already been made of positive expectations
resultina from the workshop on the Research Agenda conducted in late 1935
Significantly because of the materially improved response that resulted from
thc workshop the TDI-PMO has decided to convene similar workshops on a
regular basis possibly twice a year

unlikely the full ip1ementation of The project within the current PACD
Furthermore the Pr o- ed mod ficiDns in the operating scheme of the
training component ioulc also take some time to work out Accordingly the
7oTDI-P1O is exoected put forard to USAID a request for a two-year extension
of the current PASD f the project is extended then there will be need for
another evaiua-ion in two years
VI RECOMME IDATI OS
in light of all of the foregoing the following recommendations are herein
made with respect to the TDI project
1 The project should continue and the PACD extended by two years to
December 1990
2 Should the Precedinig reccmmendation be approved another evaluation of
the project should be schedule- in thc first half of 1988
3 To contribute to the easing of the countrys debt servicing
difficulties and in consideration of the diffused social benefits of the
project the entire unearmarked loan allocation to the project should be
converted to outright grant
4 To enhance smooth and timely implementation of the project as a whole
and in particular of the non-training elements of the Development issues
Component a clear resolution of the issues that have herein been identified
as having largely held back proect progress should be made and agreements
reached should be clearly set out in project implementation letters
Critical items in this regard are the whole apProach to project
implementation and the related question of compensation for government
personnel and the issue of USAID membership in the Project Steering

7 For reasons that have already been indicated elsewhere in this
report at of part ofleast the management the procedures of the Development
Issues component (which now excludes training) should be transferred or
subcontracted to the Philippine Institute for Development Studies (PIDS) which
has consideraile experience with managing research and working with USAID
8 To improve the implementation of the development issues component
(a) The Steering Committee especially in light of the priorities of
the new GOP administration should focus and prioritize the Agenda of Areas of
Research This should be done with the intent of selecting only a limited
number of development issues in order to concentrate efforts involve more
institutions in the same topic and culminate through a series of activities
in concrete policy recommendations
(b) TDI-PI0 should implement present plans for more frequent workshops
and advertisements to solicit research proposals and to broaden participation
(c) In addition high level NEDA officials should continue to endeavor
to involve directly other ministers and deputy ministers in the selection of
development issue topics research assignments and discussions of results
NEDA should continue to make readily available TDI resources to other
ministries
(d) The regular selection process should be made simpler and quicker
through such steps as greater discretionary power to the NEDA-TDI Project
Manager to approve proposals on already cleared topics without further
approval of the Steering Committee or USAIO up to a limit of say $15000
per proposal
(e) An alternative formechanism selecting consultants should be
designed to meet immediate short-term needs The NEDA-TDI project manager
should have greater authority to initiate on his own within topic guidelines
approved by the Steering Committee and USAID consultancy contracts This
authority snould be limited both as to amount of any individual contract say
$15000 and to the total amount of all such contracts for the year say
$100000
9 The Evaluation Team endorses the TDI-PMO proposals for improving the
overall effectiveness and impact of training activities Specifically
(a)A more detailed training plan for the balance of the project
duration should be prepared based on an updated assessment of institutional
training needs The team feels that in this assessment special attention
should be given to the needs of regional offices Further while maximum
adherence to the formulated plan is desirable provision for some degree of
flexibility should also be allowed to enable the project to respond to
unforeseen but urgent training requirements that may arise in the course of
implemfentation For this purpose ten (10) per cent of the uncommitted
balance of the training allocation could remain unprogrammed and availed of
largely on a need basis
(b) Institutional participation in the training component should be
broadened not so much however by increasing the number of participating
institutions (although possibly that too) but more through the provision of
proportionately more slots to institutions that have been determined to rank
high in the institutional prioritization scheme
(c) Participation from the regional levels should be increased and
perhaps even given priority
(d) Extension of funding support to training in suitable fields in
selected regional training institutions in the country should be undertaken
n this reard full consi deration should be given toi nci uding training
ororms 7 rv ate -c--nal insi tutions The proposal to explore the

th t the latter type of neecs is indeed being adequately addressed through
thi-s rojett in comb na tion i - othr d or-assi sted training programs If
not tIen soe shi ftng in proportions should be effected
11 Finally to enable continuini assessment of the extent to which project ojectives for the training component are being achieved the
otng system envisaged nder the project should immediately be
establisned and activated

Title Training and Development Issues Project (492-0340) Project Start July 29 1983 PACD December 31 1983 Funding $6000000 (TOTAL)
$4500000 (AID-funded) $1200000 (Grant) $3300000 (Loan) $1500000 (GOP)
Purpose The purpose of the project is to improve the capability of Philippine Government and other institutions to analyze development issues and to make sound and timely development-related decisions
Current Status The above-mentioned purpose is pursued through the implementation of two project components namely (1)Participant Training Component and (2) Development Issues Comoonent As of 31 December 1985 a total of 29 overseas and 15 local training participants nave been supported by the Participant Training Component Meanwhile the Development Issues Component has directed efforts toward the development of the technical base for effective policy analysis Through the conduct of three researches under the broad develoPment issues identified for project attention preparation of concept papers on development planningand policy issues and provision of support for 4 overseas the same
and 34 local training participants As of date the Participant Training Component has
obligated 609 p-r cent of the total loan appropriation it has received so far and 967 per cent of its total grant budget The Developmeit Issues Component on the other hand has obligated 437 per cent of the total loan appropriations and 164 per cent of its total grant budget
I PURPOSE AND TIING OF THE EVALUATION
This evaluation will assess the progress of the implementation of the TDI Project and make reccmmendations for maximizing the projects impact on the development efforts of the Aquino Government It will identify the successful project activities and attempt to explain the advantages these have over ess successful activities It plans to investigate the problems and issues which appear to have hampered or delayedimplementation of the less successful and to determine mechanisms to avoid or resolve them The evaluation also will identiFy and assess new approaches for using project resources to achieve project objectives
More soecifically it will focus on five general areas
a the current status of project implementationb exIec7ations and Perceptions of TDI project by NEDA and USAID and c factors affecting project implementation d selection of DI componenT issues and Training component participants
and e opportunities and mechanisms for improving the project
As scheduled in the project paper the first evaluation will be conducted in FY 86
Based on tne findings the evaluation should recommend whether basicchannes in theproject design and implementation Procedures are necessary The recommendatiors should indicate the advantages and disadvantages of the design and procedural changes advocated

IV TEAM COMIPOSITION
The evaluation team must exhibit a thorough understanding of the following subject areas
1 Operations of the GOP specifically of NEDA and OEM2 Philippine develoDment issues and how these relate to policies3 IMechanics of Ai0 and USAIDPhilippines and4 The nature of the relationshio between USAID and N-DA5 The develooment priorities and opportunities of the Aquino government
The teams comPosition should represent expertise in the fields of organizational planning and management policy-making evaluation and management of research and training activities Given the sensitivities surrounding this project and the importance of this evaluation the teamshould not only be experts in the subject areas above they should also bewell known and respected by both INEDA and AID A team is expected to becomposed of a mix of Philippine and US consulrants or MissionAIDWashington personnel
The team will not have to collect and analyze a great deal of information because there have been very few implementation actions to date Thus asmall team of perhaps three or maybe four highly qualified persons should be sufficient

I BACKGROUND
The Training and Development Issues (TD) Project was designed to improve
the capability of the Philippine Government and other institutions to analyze
development issues and to make sound and timely development related
decisions This objective was sought to be achieved mainly through training
and the conduct of research and related activities on a small number of issues
deemed critical to the sustained pursuit of Philippine development
The project was conceived to address perceii gips in the USAID
assistance program to the Philippines First most previous research
activities had not focused on developing the information needed for effective
decision-making and policy review Second general participant training
projects had lacked specific focus and supporting activities thereby limiting
their impact And third sectorally focused institutional development
projects often could not fully a-hieve their development objectives because
many key policy related factors affecting project success were beyond the
control of the implementing agency
Under the Project Agreement vwhich was signed on 29 July 1983 USAID
committed to provide a total of $42 million in loans ($33 million) and
grants ($09 million) Of this amount $25 million was allocated to the
Development Issues Component and $16 million to the Training Conponent with
$100000 set aside for evaluation USAID funding for the project was
subsequently raised by a $3U0000 grant that brought the total USAID
commi tnent to $45 million Government counterpart funding amounted to $15
million PACD aas set at 31 December 1938

A Diveraence ofZiews on ADproach to Project imlementation
The slow start of the non-training elements of the Development Issues
Component of the TDI Project and its relatively slow progress to-date is
reflective of a fundamental divergence of views between the USAID Mission and the PhiliDDine Governmen implementin aqency for the proh EDA on~ _mni aec o h rject hNEDo
the approach to project implementaticn Specifically while both agree on
(a) the project objective of building up institutional capacities for the
analysis of and subsequent decision-making on key development issues and
(b) on the conduct of research undertakings (including conferences and fora)
to bring this about they dsagree on tne matter of payment for those involved
in the conduct of such research undertakings reflecting a difference in
approach to the at ainment o1 the project s objective
Tile USAID lissions exoectation was that the object-ive would be approached
by focusins goverment personnel attention on particular issues within the
context of their normal functions and thus without additional compensation as
well as by opening up the policy formulation process to a broad spectrum of
participants from outside government thereby enriching the process itself and
the policy recommendations that subsequently emanate from it The outputs
being d dist-illation of hopefully some of the best minds in (and as
necessary out of the country policy-makers ould be better-equipped for
decision-makinQ on zritical issues This would be supplemented by funding
provisions for training in issue-related fields From the foregoing the
Mission lxpectationthat government personnelwas would be actively involved
in te project without extra compensation so that much if not most of the
funds for non-training Development Issue Component activities would be paid
out to non-governmental institutions

B Communication Problems
The fact that the projects principal problems are rooted in basic
interpretational differences would seem to indicate problems in the
communication process between the USAID Mission and the Philippine Government
throuch its implementing agency the NEDA concerning the project indeed
for various reasons this appears to have been the case from the design stage
to at least the early stages of project implementation
1 Project design stage
Because of pressures brought on by approaching US budgetary deadlines in
mid-1983 there was little opportunity for any extensive discussion between
the ilission and the INEDA on the Project Paper which was prepared by the
Mission Staff Indications of the basic differences in expectations with
respect to the approach to project implementation thus began to surface only
in the course of implementation itself as the TDI-PMO based at NEDA began to
endorse for the Missions clearanceapproval specific proposals to use project
funds for non-training activities including equipment procurement
On this particular issue it may be pointed out that the language of the
Project Pap-- was by no means unequivocal in thie discussion of Submission
of Issue Proposals and Selection of issue Activities paragraphs 1 and 2 of
p 11 state that
A wide variety of organizations are expected to submit proposals and
thus be eligible for implementing ac-ivities These include (a) units
within NEDA (b)GOP agencies (c) Local governments (d)Government

TWo soecific situations contributed to the insufficiency of
communia-ions rirstly the NJEDA TDI-Project -lanagement and the USAID
Ilission differed on the particular issue of USAID representation in the
Project Steering Committee The Mission had expected to be an ex-officio
member of the Committee the TDI-Project Managements position on the other
hand vias that since the USAIDs role in the Steering Committee as specified
in the Project Agreement was advisory USAID participation in Steering
Committee meetinQs would be strictly on a need basis
Secondly neither the USAID nor more importantly even the NEDA TDI-PM1O
was devoting much time to the project
For example Project Impl ementation Letters setting out pertinent USAID
implementing guidelines and procedures were not issued early on The only
issuance of this nature (PIL NJo 3) came in January 1985 seventeen (17)
months after signing of the Project Agreement setting out the mechanism for
financing the Develoomen- Tssues Component (This represents a sharp contrast
to the Economic and Social Impact Analysis-Women in Development (ESIA-WID)
project in which within a little over three (3)months of the date of signing
of the Project Agreement at least five (5) PILs had been issued setting out
among other things criteria for satisfactory compliance with conditions
precedent guidelines for contracting and exemptions thereto and procedures
and documentation for requesting and liquidating AID Peso advances) Perhaps
this was due to USAID presumpions as to the extent of the project personnels
awareness of USAID rules and procedures

an prioritize poi cy research issues and proposals that bear on Philippine
devel opment
0 Implementation Procedures
Following from the USAID premise of the broadest possible participation in
the policy formulation process the implementation procedures set out in the
Project Paper envisioned extensive use of seminars and conferences (about 30
to 40) in the entire course of project implementation from issue selection to
the presenta-ion of research findings and recommendations These procedures
were adopted in the implementation Plan of the DeveloDMnt issues Component
in the implementation o- zite project to-date however only one such
workshop-conFerence- has been nel d and this in October more tiian1985 two
years from the daze of signing of tne Project Agreemnt The purpose of this
workshop attended by representatives of various research institutions was to
publicize generate interest in and hopefully speed up research formulation
under the Development Issues Component of TDI
Significantly post-orkshop response to the project has been encouraging
wit~is aditionalproposals having already been received on topics in the
Research Agenca as ail as -n others related to it Still others are
currently under preparation From clnis standpoint much improvement may be
expected in the pace of mpement3ation of at least the research element of the
5Development -ssues Component within the coming monthsshy
5 The Steering Committee was scheduled to meet on 14 July 1986 at which approval of research proposals 4ith a total cost of just under $200000 is expected

Coincidentally thirty-four j34) have been in long-term (one-year or more)
pr rams and twenty-five (25) in shorter programs
Based on the foregoing the training component of the TDI Project has to
date been proceeding by and large on schedule This notwithstanding however
it needs to be asked whether the component (including the training element of
the Development issues Component) has been operating in a manner consistent
with the training objectives of the project
B Objectives of Training Activities
As designed the training component of the TDI project was not only to
build upon but to improve on the General Participant Training (GPT) Program of
the 1970s Specifically whiie the GPT Program was observed to have lacked
focus on particular development issues or on specific human resource and
institutional development objectives that thereby limited its overall impact
training activities under the TDI project would support the institutional
objectives of requesting organizations contribute to improving manpower
skills critical to national and regional development and enhance capacities
related to the issues selected under the Development issues Component
Towards this end a survey of training needs of socio-economic
development-related government institutions was undertaken in the early stages
of the project On the basis of criteria approved by the project Steering
Committee survey responses were analyzed to come up with a prioritization of
agencies and of fields of study for funding under the projectshy

D Areas for gtnorovein
The foregoing general observations notwi thstanding however there are
definite areas for improvement in the operation and implementation of training
activities
o e-n viith the priorit zation scheme adopted while useful in guiding
the evaluation of specific requests fo training assistance leaves too much
room for flexibility in decision-making While the need for and the value of
flexibility in a program of this nature recognized too much it couldis of
easily lead to distortions in Program results That this has tended to be the
case is evident from the folloino
a) The predominance of gtEDA itself as recipient institution of the
training grants Of the fifty-nine (59) slots that had been made
available twen-y-two 2) or more thian a thi -d went to IEDA official s
and employees Relative to the slots that went to institutions in the
first priority list (43) the proportion is even higher at slightly
over half While a large proportion of project training funds going
to NEDA staff may be justifiable in terms of the institutions central
role in Philippine development plannin and policy-formulation such a
high proportion of resources going to a single agency is rather
excessive
b) Relatedly the predominance of fields of a general development nature
ie Economics Planning IMlanagement and Public Acimnistration and
Statistics in the fields of training supported under the project
These acounted for forty-four (44) of the fifty nne (59) slots
Again whlle the value of a broad perspective in policy-formulation is
recognized threo-fourtihs of the training allocation going into thi3
19shy
type of general zraining wou d seem to unduly undervalue tiie ieed for
more specza~ized types of poli cy anal vsis called for in many areas of
Phiippine development T is of course Dossble that these needs are
already being addressed tirou-gh projects other than the underone
consideration if so then - e present ellocation under the TDI
Project may well be jusified Unfortunately time constraints have
7 no- enabled -i-oser nvesiation of this mattershy
c) Funding of pr-grans in Law and Justice which though related to
socio economic development policy formulation is at best only
distantly so ParLicipation for instance in programs on American amp
internat-ional a as well as -n the US Legal System by members of
the Regional Trial Courts is to say the least difficult to justify
under tiis project However support towards laster s degrees in
Engineering of which rhere are two probably is justifiable as these
may be classified among the manpower skills critical to national and
regional development
d) Relative imbalance in the distribution of training slots between
participants from central offices and those from the regions Of the
fifty-nine (59) slots made available less than ten have gone to participants from the reg-onai offices Considering the thrust of the
present government towards genuine regionalzation including NEDAs
own interests improvements in this regard are especially called for
For instance the nei government is strengthening the role of the
Regional Development Council- and therefore these may be additional
training needs
_ According to the Hanager of the Participant Training Component this was in fact the case
The seconc road a-ea for improvemert is in monit-ori ng The establ i shment
of a sstem for monitoring of zrain n oarticioants both during and more
importantly after traind1n Was envsioned in thne project design The first
batch or tra nees iho went through one year programs in SY 1934 have been back
on the job for a ear and tiose wiho underwenr shorter programs have been back
for a longe period To cate hovever no back to office monitoring has been
undertken rendr in- di-ficut the assssent of traininc imDact relative to
obj ectives
E Usefulness of Training
Towards this end however limited interviews of immediate supervisors of
returned trai nees wiere carried out in this evaluation to obtain some feel for
the usefulness o1 training to the sponsoring institutions
in general the assessment of training impact has been very positive with
significant improvements observed in the overall depth and breadth of
analytical outputs of returned trainees in one instance however even
before the outset of tne training program the participant was transferred to
another unit to which immediate applicabilit of the training eventua1y
received was minimal thoh nonethelss potentially useful
On the transfer of knowledgeskills acquired to other personnel of the
sponsoring Insitutions the general approach has been through informal
discussions on the j o
- 21 -
V PRQ ECT SGJ I IT AND OUTLOOK
Implementation problems notwithstanding current evidence supports the
continued usefulness off the project towards the objective of building up
institutional capacities for policy analysis and decision-making in the
PhiliPPine bureaucracy The Tax Administration and Compliance Study for
instance thouqh still in the process of finalization has already contributed
siqnificant inputs to the recent formulation of a new Tax Reform Package
Outputs of the on-going research on Sectoral Classification of Trade and
Inve ment Data are already being programmed for use in the current drafting
of the Philippine Development Plan for 1987-1992 Limited interviews have
also established the positive contributions of training supported under the
project in terms of improved overall quality of analytical work of returned
trainees
The potential impact of the project is further considerably enhanced by
the fact of a new government which is seriously engaged in a broad-ranging
effort to review and as needed recast the whole gamut of policies
structures and procedures that intimately affect both the current and the
future life of the nation
In terms of project operations recent developments augur well for
improvements not only in the pace of project implementation but also in terms
of broadening the projects overall impact In the case of the Development
Issues Component mention has already been made of positive expectations
resultina from the workshop on the Research Agenda conducted in late 1935
Significantly because of the materially improved response that resulted from
thc workshop the TDI-PMO has decided to convene similar workshops on a
regular basis possibly twice a year

unlikely the full ip1ementation of The project within the current PACD
Furthermore the Pr o- ed mod ficiDns in the operating scheme of the
training component ioulc also take some time to work out Accordingly the
7oTDI-P1O is exoected put forard to USAID a request for a two-year extension
of the current PASD f the project is extended then there will be need for
another evaiua-ion in two years
VI RECOMME IDATI OS
in light of all of the foregoing the following recommendations are herein
made with respect to the TDI project
1 The project should continue and the PACD extended by two years to
December 1990
2 Should the Precedinig reccmmendation be approved another evaluation of
the project should be schedule- in thc first half of 1988
3 To contribute to the easing of the countrys debt servicing
difficulties and in consideration of the diffused social benefits of the
project the entire unearmarked loan allocation to the project should be
converted to outright grant
4 To enhance smooth and timely implementation of the project as a whole
and in particular of the non-training elements of the Development issues
Component a clear resolution of the issues that have herein been identified
as having largely held back proect progress should be made and agreements
reached should be clearly set out in project implementation letters
Critical items in this regard are the whole apProach to project
implementation and the related question of compensation for government
personnel and the issue of USAID membership in the Project Steering

7 For reasons that have already been indicated elsewhere in this
report at of part ofleast the management the procedures of the Development
Issues component (which now excludes training) should be transferred or
subcontracted to the Philippine Institute for Development Studies (PIDS) which
has consideraile experience with managing research and working with USAID
8 To improve the implementation of the development issues component
(a) The Steering Committee especially in light of the priorities of
the new GOP administration should focus and prioritize the Agenda of Areas of
Research This should be done with the intent of selecting only a limited
number of development issues in order to concentrate efforts involve more
institutions in the same topic and culminate through a series of activities
in concrete policy recommendations
(b) TDI-PI0 should implement present plans for more frequent workshops
and advertisements to solicit research proposals and to broaden participation
(c) In addition high level NEDA officials should continue to endeavor
to involve directly other ministers and deputy ministers in the selection of
development issue topics research assignments and discussions of results
NEDA should continue to make readily available TDI resources to other
ministries
(d) The regular selection process should be made simpler and quicker
through such steps as greater discretionary power to the NEDA-TDI Project
Manager to approve proposals on already cleared topics without further
approval of the Steering Committee or USAIO up to a limit of say $15000
per proposal
(e) An alternative formechanism selecting consultants should be
designed to meet immediate short-term needs The NEDA-TDI project manager
should have greater authority to initiate on his own within topic guidelines
approved by the Steering Committee and USAID consultancy contracts This
authority snould be limited both as to amount of any individual contract say
$15000 and to the total amount of all such contracts for the year say
$100000
9 The Evaluation Team endorses the TDI-PMO proposals for improving the
overall effectiveness and impact of training activities Specifically
(a)A more detailed training plan for the balance of the project
duration should be prepared based on an updated assessment of institutional
training needs The team feels that in this assessment special attention
should be given to the needs of regional offices Further while maximum
adherence to the formulated plan is desirable provision for some degree of
flexibility should also be allowed to enable the project to respond to
unforeseen but urgent training requirements that may arise in the course of
implemfentation For this purpose ten (10) per cent of the uncommitted
balance of the training allocation could remain unprogrammed and availed of
largely on a need basis
(b) Institutional participation in the training component should be
broadened not so much however by increasing the number of participating
institutions (although possibly that too) but more through the provision of
proportionately more slots to institutions that have been determined to rank
high in the institutional prioritization scheme
(c) Participation from the regional levels should be increased and
perhaps even given priority
(d) Extension of funding support to training in suitable fields in
selected regional training institutions in the country should be undertaken
n this reard full consi deration should be given toi nci uding training
ororms 7 rv ate -c--nal insi tutions The proposal to explore the
devloomnt of a aster s roram in DcveloDment Economics at the UP in
Diliman is siMilarlI endorsed
10 7n add-isn to the forejoing a reassessment of the distribution of
ii-s is-ai r 1 ly t iclh general and te more
setor-soecifiPopo1 cy analysi s stud prcgrams should be unde rtaken to ensure
th t the latter type of neecs is indeed being adequately addressed through
thi-s rojett in comb na tion i - othr d or-assi sted training programs If
not tIen soe shi ftng in proportions should be effected
11 Finally to enable continuini assessment of the extent to which project ojectives for the training component are being achieved the
otng system envisaged nder the project should immediately be
establisned and activated

$4500000 (AID-funded) $1200000 (Grant) $3300000 (Loan) $1500000 (GOP)
Purpose The purpose of the project is to improve the capability of Philippine Government and other institutions to analyze development issues and to make sound and timely development-related decisions
Current Status The above-mentioned purpose is pursued through the implementation of two project components namely (1)Participant Training Component and (2) Development Issues Comoonent As of 31 December 1985 a total of 29 overseas and 15 local training participants nave been supported by the Participant Training Component Meanwhile the Development Issues Component has directed efforts toward the development of the technical base for effective policy analysis Through the conduct of three researches under the broad develoPment issues identified for project attention preparation of concept papers on development planningand policy issues and provision of support for 4 overseas the same
and 34 local training participants As of date the Participant Training Component has
obligated 609 p-r cent of the total loan appropriation it has received so far and 967 per cent of its total grant budget The Developmeit Issues Component on the other hand has obligated 437 per cent of the total loan appropriations and 164 per cent of its total grant budget
I PURPOSE AND TIING OF THE EVALUATION
This evaluation will assess the progress of the implementation of the TDI Project and make reccmmendations for maximizing the projects impact on the development efforts of the Aquino Government It will identify the successful project activities and attempt to explain the advantages these have over ess successful activities It plans to investigate the problems and issues which appear to have hampered or delayedimplementation of the less successful and to determine mechanisms to avoid or resolve them The evaluation also will identiFy and assess new approaches for using project resources to achieve project objectives
More soecifically it will focus on five general areas
a the current status of project implementationb exIec7ations and Perceptions of TDI project by NEDA and USAID and c factors affecting project implementation d selection of DI componenT issues and Training component participants
and e opportunities and mechanisms for improving the project
As scheduled in the project paper the first evaluation will be conducted in FY 86
Based on tne findings the evaluation should recommend whether basicchannes in theproject design and implementation Procedures are necessary The recommendatiors should indicate the advantages and disadvantages of the design and procedural changes advocated
III QUESTIONS FOR THE EVALUATION TEAM
A Current Status

IV TEAM COMIPOSITION
The evaluation team must exhibit a thorough understanding of the following subject areas
1 Operations of the GOP specifically of NEDA and OEM2 Philippine develoDment issues and how these relate to policies3 IMechanics of Ai0 and USAIDPhilippines and4 The nature of the relationshio between USAID and N-DA5 The develooment priorities and opportunities of the Aquino government
The teams comPosition should represent expertise in the fields of organizational planning and management policy-making evaluation and management of research and training activities Given the sensitivities surrounding this project and the importance of this evaluation the teamshould not only be experts in the subject areas above they should also bewell known and respected by both INEDA and AID A team is expected to becomposed of a mix of Philippine and US consulrants or MissionAIDWashington personnel
The team will not have to collect and analyze a great deal of information because there have been very few implementation actions to date Thus asmall team of perhaps three or maybe four highly qualified persons should be sufficient

I BACKGROUND
The Training and Development Issues (TD) Project was designed to improve
the capability of the Philippine Government and other institutions to analyze
development issues and to make sound and timely development related
decisions This objective was sought to be achieved mainly through training
and the conduct of research and related activities on a small number of issues
deemed critical to the sustained pursuit of Philippine development
The project was conceived to address perceii gips in the USAID
assistance program to the Philippines First most previous research
activities had not focused on developing the information needed for effective
decision-making and policy review Second general participant training
projects had lacked specific focus and supporting activities thereby limiting
their impact And third sectorally focused institutional development
projects often could not fully a-hieve their development objectives because
many key policy related factors affecting project success were beyond the
control of the implementing agency
Under the Project Agreement vwhich was signed on 29 July 1983 USAID
committed to provide a total of $42 million in loans ($33 million) and
grants ($09 million) Of this amount $25 million was allocated to the
Development Issues Component and $16 million to the Training Conponent with
$100000 set aside for evaluation USAID funding for the project was
subsequently raised by a $3U0000 grant that brought the total USAID
commi tnent to $45 million Government counterpart funding amounted to $15
million PACD aas set at 31 December 1938

A Diveraence ofZiews on ADproach to Project imlementation
The slow start of the non-training elements of the Development Issues
Component of the TDI Project and its relatively slow progress to-date is
reflective of a fundamental divergence of views between the USAID Mission and the PhiliDDine Governmen implementin aqency for the proh EDA on~ _mni aec o h rject hNEDo
the approach to project implementaticn Specifically while both agree on
(a) the project objective of building up institutional capacities for the
analysis of and subsequent decision-making on key development issues and
(b) on the conduct of research undertakings (including conferences and fora)
to bring this about they dsagree on tne matter of payment for those involved
in the conduct of such research undertakings reflecting a difference in
approach to the at ainment o1 the project s objective
Tile USAID lissions exoectation was that the object-ive would be approached
by focusins goverment personnel attention on particular issues within the
context of their normal functions and thus without additional compensation as
well as by opening up the policy formulation process to a broad spectrum of
participants from outside government thereby enriching the process itself and
the policy recommendations that subsequently emanate from it The outputs
being d dist-illation of hopefully some of the best minds in (and as
necessary out of the country policy-makers ould be better-equipped for
decision-makinQ on zritical issues This would be supplemented by funding
provisions for training in issue-related fields From the foregoing the
Mission lxpectationthat government personnelwas would be actively involved
in te project without extra compensation so that much if not most of the
funds for non-training Development Issue Component activities would be paid
out to non-governmental institutions

B Communication Problems
The fact that the projects principal problems are rooted in basic
interpretational differences would seem to indicate problems in the
communication process between the USAID Mission and the Philippine Government
throuch its implementing agency the NEDA concerning the project indeed
for various reasons this appears to have been the case from the design stage
to at least the early stages of project implementation
1 Project design stage
Because of pressures brought on by approaching US budgetary deadlines in
mid-1983 there was little opportunity for any extensive discussion between
the ilission and the INEDA on the Project Paper which was prepared by the
Mission Staff Indications of the basic differences in expectations with
respect to the approach to project implementation thus began to surface only
in the course of implementation itself as the TDI-PMO based at NEDA began to
endorse for the Missions clearanceapproval specific proposals to use project
funds for non-training activities including equipment procurement
On this particular issue it may be pointed out that the language of the
Project Pap-- was by no means unequivocal in thie discussion of Submission
of Issue Proposals and Selection of issue Activities paragraphs 1 and 2 of
p 11 state that
A wide variety of organizations are expected to submit proposals and
thus be eligible for implementing ac-ivities These include (a) units
within NEDA (b)GOP agencies (c) Local governments (d)Government

TWo soecific situations contributed to the insufficiency of
communia-ions rirstly the NJEDA TDI-Project -lanagement and the USAID
Ilission differed on the particular issue of USAID representation in the
Project Steering Committee The Mission had expected to be an ex-officio
member of the Committee the TDI-Project Managements position on the other
hand vias that since the USAIDs role in the Steering Committee as specified
in the Project Agreement was advisory USAID participation in Steering
Committee meetinQs would be strictly on a need basis
Secondly neither the USAID nor more importantly even the NEDA TDI-PM1O
was devoting much time to the project
For example Project Impl ementation Letters setting out pertinent USAID
implementing guidelines and procedures were not issued early on The only
issuance of this nature (PIL NJo 3) came in January 1985 seventeen (17)
months after signing of the Project Agreement setting out the mechanism for
financing the Develoomen- Tssues Component (This represents a sharp contrast
to the Economic and Social Impact Analysis-Women in Development (ESIA-WID)
project in which within a little over three (3)months of the date of signing
of the Project Agreement at least five (5) PILs had been issued setting out
among other things criteria for satisfactory compliance with conditions
precedent guidelines for contracting and exemptions thereto and procedures
and documentation for requesting and liquidating AID Peso advances) Perhaps
this was due to USAID presumpions as to the extent of the project personnels
awareness of USAID rules and procedures

devel opment
0 Implementation Procedures
Following from the USAID premise of the broadest possible participation in
the policy formulation process the implementation procedures set out in the
Project Paper envisioned extensive use of seminars and conferences (about 30
to 40) in the entire course of project implementation from issue selection to
the presenta-ion of research findings and recommendations These procedures
were adopted in the implementation Plan of the DeveloDMnt issues Component
in the implementation o- zite project to-date however only one such
workshop-conFerence- has been nel d and this in October more tiian1985 two
years from the daze of signing of tne Project Agreemnt The purpose of this
workshop attended by representatives of various research institutions was to
publicize generate interest in and hopefully speed up research formulation
under the Development Issues Component of TDI
Significantly post-orkshop response to the project has been encouraging
wit~is aditionalproposals having already been received on topics in the
Research Agenca as ail as -n others related to it Still others are
currently under preparation From clnis standpoint much improvement may be
expected in the pace of mpement3ation of at least the research element of the
5Development -ssues Component within the coming monthsshy
5 The Steering Committee was scheduled to meet on 14 July 1986 at which approval of research proposals 4ith a total cost of just under $200000 is expected

Coincidentally thirty-four j34) have been in long-term (one-year or more)
pr rams and twenty-five (25) in shorter programs
Based on the foregoing the training component of the TDI Project has to
date been proceeding by and large on schedule This notwithstanding however
it needs to be asked whether the component (including the training element of
the Development issues Component) has been operating in a manner consistent
with the training objectives of the project
B Objectives of Training Activities
As designed the training component of the TDI project was not only to
build upon but to improve on the General Participant Training (GPT) Program of
the 1970s Specifically whiie the GPT Program was observed to have lacked
focus on particular development issues or on specific human resource and
institutional development objectives that thereby limited its overall impact
training activities under the TDI project would support the institutional
objectives of requesting organizations contribute to improving manpower
skills critical to national and regional development and enhance capacities
related to the issues selected under the Development issues Component
Towards this end a survey of training needs of socio-economic
development-related government institutions was undertaken in the early stages
of the project On the basis of criteria approved by the project Steering
Committee survey responses were analyzed to come up with a prioritization of
agencies and of fields of study for funding under the projectshy

o e-n viith the priorit zation scheme adopted while useful in guiding
the evaluation of specific requests fo training assistance leaves too much
room for flexibility in decision-making While the need for and the value of
flexibility in a program of this nature recognized too much it couldis of
easily lead to distortions in Program results That this has tended to be the
case is evident from the folloino
a) The predominance of gtEDA itself as recipient institution of the
training grants Of the fifty-nine (59) slots that had been made
available twen-y-two 2) or more thian a thi -d went to IEDA official s
and employees Relative to the slots that went to institutions in the
first priority list (43) the proportion is even higher at slightly
over half While a large proportion of project training funds going
to NEDA staff may be justifiable in terms of the institutions central
role in Philippine development plannin and policy-formulation such a
high proportion of resources going to a single agency is rather
excessive
b) Relatedly the predominance of fields of a general development nature
ie Economics Planning IMlanagement and Public Acimnistration and
Statistics in the fields of training supported under the project
These acounted for forty-four (44) of the fifty nne (59) slots

type of general zraining wou d seem to unduly undervalue tiie ieed for
more specza~ized types of poli cy anal vsis called for in many areas of
Phiippine development T is of course Dossble that these needs are
already being addressed tirou-gh projects other than the underone
consideration if so then - e present ellocation under the TDI
Project may well be jusified Unfortunately time constraints have
7 no- enabled -i-oser nvesiation of this mattershy
c) Funding of pr-grans in Law and Justice which though related to
socio economic development policy formulation is at best only
distantly so ParLicipation for instance in programs on American amp
internat-ional a as well as -n the US Legal System by members of
the Regional Trial Courts is to say the least difficult to justify
under tiis project However support towards laster s degrees in
Engineering of which rhere are two probably is justifiable as these
may be classified among the manpower skills critical to national and
regional development
d) Relative imbalance in the distribution of training slots between
participants from central offices and those from the regions Of the
fifty-nine (59) slots made available less than ten have gone to participants from the reg-onai offices Considering the thrust of the
present government towards genuine regionalzation including NEDAs
own interests improvements in this regard are especially called for
For instance the nei government is strengthening the role of the
Regional Development Council- and therefore these may be additional
training needs
_ According to the Hanager of the Participant Training Component this was in fact the case
The seconc road a-ea for improvemert is in monit-ori ng The establ i shment
of a sstem for monitoring of zrain n oarticioants both during and more
importantly after traind1n Was envsioned in thne project design The first
batch or tra nees iho went through one year programs in SY 1934 have been back
on the job for a ear and tiose wiho underwenr shorter programs have been back
for a longe period To cate hovever no back to office monitoring has been
undertken rendr in- di-ficut the assssent of traininc imDact relative to
obj ectives
E Usefulness of Training
Towards this end however limited interviews of immediate supervisors of
returned trai nees wiere carried out in this evaluation to obtain some feel for
the usefulness o1 training to the sponsoring institutions
in general the assessment of training impact has been very positive with
significant improvements observed in the overall depth and breadth of
analytical outputs of returned trainees in one instance however even
before the outset of tne training program the participant was transferred to
another unit to which immediate applicabilit of the training eventua1y
received was minimal thoh nonethelss potentially useful
On the transfer of knowledgeskills acquired to other personnel of the
sponsoring Insitutions the general approach has been through informal
discussions on the j o

V PRQ ECT SGJ I IT AND OUTLOOK
Implementation problems notwithstanding current evidence supports the
continued usefulness off the project towards the objective of building up
institutional capacities for policy analysis and decision-making in the
PhiliPPine bureaucracy The Tax Administration and Compliance Study for
instance thouqh still in the process of finalization has already contributed
siqnificant inputs to the recent formulation of a new Tax Reform Package
Outputs of the on-going research on Sectoral Classification of Trade and
Inve ment Data are already being programmed for use in the current drafting
of the Philippine Development Plan for 1987-1992 Limited interviews have
also established the positive contributions of training supported under the
project in terms of improved overall quality of analytical work of returned
trainees
The potential impact of the project is further considerably enhanced by
the fact of a new government which is seriously engaged in a broad-ranging
effort to review and as needed recast the whole gamut of policies
structures and procedures that intimately affect both the current and the
future life of the nation
In terms of project operations recent developments augur well for
improvements not only in the pace of project implementation but also in terms
of broadening the projects overall impact In the case of the Development
Issues Component mention has already been made of positive expectations
resultina from the workshop on the Research Agenda conducted in late 1935
Significantly because of the materially improved response that resulted from
thc workshop the TDI-PMO has decided to convene similar workshops on a
regular basis possibly twice a year

unlikely the full ip1ementation of The project within the current PACD
Furthermore the Pr o- ed mod ficiDns in the operating scheme of the
training component ioulc also take some time to work out Accordingly the
7oTDI-P1O is exoected put forard to USAID a request for a two-year extension
of the current PASD f the project is extended then there will be need for
another evaiua-ion in two years
VI RECOMME IDATI OS
in light of all of the foregoing the following recommendations are herein
made with respect to the TDI project
1 The project should continue and the PACD extended by two years to
December 1990
2 Should the Precedinig reccmmendation be approved another evaluation of
the project should be schedule- in thc first half of 1988
3 To contribute to the easing of the countrys debt servicing
difficulties and in consideration of the diffused social benefits of the
project the entire unearmarked loan allocation to the project should be
converted to outright grant
4 To enhance smooth and timely implementation of the project as a whole
and in particular of the non-training elements of the Development issues
Component a clear resolution of the issues that have herein been identified
as having largely held back proect progress should be made and agreements
reached should be clearly set out in project implementation letters
Critical items in this regard are the whole apProach to project
implementation and the related question of compensation for government
personnel and the issue of USAID membership in the Project Steering

7 For reasons that have already been indicated elsewhere in this
report at of part ofleast the management the procedures of the Development
Issues component (which now excludes training) should be transferred or
subcontracted to the Philippine Institute for Development Studies (PIDS) which
has consideraile experience with managing research and working with USAID
8 To improve the implementation of the development issues component
(a) The Steering Committee especially in light of the priorities of
the new GOP administration should focus and prioritize the Agenda of Areas of
Research This should be done with the intent of selecting only a limited
number of development issues in order to concentrate efforts involve more
institutions in the same topic and culminate through a series of activities
in concrete policy recommendations
(b) TDI-PI0 should implement present plans for more frequent workshops
and advertisements to solicit research proposals and to broaden participation
(c) In addition high level NEDA officials should continue to endeavor
to involve directly other ministers and deputy ministers in the selection of
development issue topics research assignments and discussions of results
NEDA should continue to make readily available TDI resources to other
ministries
(d) The regular selection process should be made simpler and quicker
through such steps as greater discretionary power to the NEDA-TDI Project
Manager to approve proposals on already cleared topics without further
approval of the Steering Committee or USAIO up to a limit of say $15000
per proposal
(e) An alternative formechanism selecting consultants should be
designed to meet immediate short-term needs The NEDA-TDI project manager
should have greater authority to initiate on his own within topic guidelines
approved by the Steering Committee and USAID consultancy contracts This
authority snould be limited both as to amount of any individual contract say
$15000 and to the total amount of all such contracts for the year say
$100000
9 The Evaluation Team endorses the TDI-PMO proposals for improving the
overall effectiveness and impact of training activities Specifically
(a)A more detailed training plan for the balance of the project
duration should be prepared based on an updated assessment of institutional
training needs The team feels that in this assessment special attention
should be given to the needs of regional offices Further while maximum
adherence to the formulated plan is desirable provision for some degree of
flexibility should also be allowed to enable the project to respond to
unforeseen but urgent training requirements that may arise in the course of
implemfentation For this purpose ten (10) per cent of the uncommitted
balance of the training allocation could remain unprogrammed and availed of
largely on a need basis
(b) Institutional participation in the training component should be
broadened not so much however by increasing the number of participating
institutions (although possibly that too) but more through the provision of
proportionately more slots to institutions that have been determined to rank
high in the institutional prioritization scheme
(c) Participation from the regional levels should be increased and
perhaps even given priority
(d) Extension of funding support to training in suitable fields in
selected regional training institutions in the country should be undertaken
n this reard full consi deration should be given toi nci uding training
ororms 7 rv ate -c--nal insi tutions The proposal to explore the
devloomnt of a aster s roram in DcveloDment Economics at the UP in

th t the latter type of neecs is indeed being adequately addressed through
thi-s rojett in comb na tion i - othr d or-assi sted training programs If
not tIen soe shi ftng in proportions should be effected
11 Finally to enable continuini assessment of the extent to which project ojectives for the training component are being achieved the
otng system envisaged nder the project should immediately be
establisned and activated

TRAINING AiND DEVELOPENT ISSUES PROJECT EVALUATION SCOPE OF CRK FOR EVAUTION
I THE PROJECT
Title Training and Development Issues Project (492-0340) Project Start July 29 1983 PACD December 31 1983 Funding $6000000 (TOTAL)
$4500000 (AID-funded) $1200000 (Grant) $3300000 (Loan) $1500000 (GOP)
Purpose The purpose of the project is to improve the capability of Philippine Government and other institutions to analyze development issues and to make sound and timely development-related decisions
Current Status The above-mentioned purpose is pursued through the implementation of two project components namely (1)Participant Training Component and (2) Development Issues Comoonent As of 31 December 1985 a total of 29 overseas and 15 local training participants nave been supported by the Participant Training Component Meanwhile the Development Issues Component has directed efforts toward the development of the technical base for effective policy analysis Through the conduct of three researches under the broad develoPment issues identified for project attention preparation of concept papers on development planningand policy issues and provision of support for 4 overseas the same
and 34 local training participants As of date the Participant Training Component has
obligated 609 p-r cent of the total loan appropriation it has received so far and 967 per cent of its total grant budget The Developmeit Issues Component on the other hand has obligated 437 per cent of the total loan appropriations and 164 per cent of its total grant budget
I PURPOSE AND TIING OF THE EVALUATION
This evaluation will assess the progress of the implementation of the TDI Project and make reccmmendations for maximizing the projects impact on the development efforts of the Aquino Government It will identify the successful project activities and attempt to explain the advantages these have over ess successful activities It plans to investigate the problems and issues which appear to have hampered or delayedimplementation of the less successful and to determine mechanisms to avoid or resolve them The evaluation also will identiFy and assess new approaches for using project resources to achieve project objectives
More soecifically it will focus on five general areas
a the current status of project implementationb exIec7ations and Perceptions of TDI project by NEDA and USAID and c factors affecting project implementation d selection of DI componenT issues and Training component participants
and e opportunities and mechanisms for improving the project
As scheduled in the project paper the first evaluation will be conducted in FY 86
Based on tne findings the evaluation should recommend whether basicchannes in theproject design and implementation Procedures are necessary The recommendatiors should indicate the advantages and disadvantages of the design and procedural changes advocated
III QUESTIONS FOR THE EVALUATION TEAM
A Current Status

IV TEAM COMIPOSITION
The evaluation team must exhibit a thorough understanding of the following subject areas
1 Operations of the GOP specifically of NEDA and OEM2 Philippine develoDment issues and how these relate to policies3 IMechanics of Ai0 and USAIDPhilippines and4 The nature of the relationshio between USAID and N-DA5 The develooment priorities and opportunities of the Aquino government
The teams comPosition should represent expertise in the fields of organizational planning and management policy-making evaluation and management of research and training activities Given the sensitivities surrounding this project and the importance of this evaluation the teamshould not only be experts in the subject areas above they should also bewell known and respected by both INEDA and AID A team is expected to becomposed of a mix of Philippine and US consulrants or MissionAIDWashington personnel
The team will not have to collect and analyze a great deal of information because there have been very few implementation actions to date Thus asmall team of perhaps three or maybe four highly qualified persons should be sufficient

I BACKGROUND
The Training and Development Issues (TD) Project was designed to improve
the capability of the Philippine Government and other institutions to analyze
development issues and to make sound and timely development related
decisions This objective was sought to be achieved mainly through training
and the conduct of research and related activities on a small number of issues
deemed critical to the sustained pursuit of Philippine development
The project was conceived to address perceii gips in the USAID
assistance program to the Philippines First most previous research
activities had not focused on developing the information needed for effective
decision-making and policy review Second general participant training
projects had lacked specific focus and supporting activities thereby limiting
their impact And third sectorally focused institutional development
projects often could not fully a-hieve their development objectives because
many key policy related factors affecting project success were beyond the
control of the implementing agency
Under the Project Agreement vwhich was signed on 29 July 1983 USAID
committed to provide a total of $42 million in loans ($33 million) and
grants ($09 million) Of this amount $25 million was allocated to the
Development Issues Component and $16 million to the Training Conponent with
$100000 set aside for evaluation USAID funding for the project was
subsequently raised by a $3U0000 grant that brought the total USAID
commi tnent to $45 million Government counterpart funding amounted to $15
million PACD aas set at 31 December 1938

A Diveraence ofZiews on ADproach to Project imlementation
The slow start of the non-training elements of the Development Issues
Component of the TDI Project and its relatively slow progress to-date is
reflective of a fundamental divergence of views between the USAID Mission and the PhiliDDine Governmen implementin aqency for the proh EDA on~ _mni aec o h rject hNEDo
the approach to project implementaticn Specifically while both agree on
(a) the project objective of building up institutional capacities for the
analysis of and subsequent decision-making on key development issues and
(b) on the conduct of research undertakings (including conferences and fora)
to bring this about they dsagree on tne matter of payment for those involved
in the conduct of such research undertakings reflecting a difference in
approach to the at ainment o1 the project s objective
Tile USAID lissions exoectation was that the object-ive would be approached
by focusins goverment personnel attention on particular issues within the
context of their normal functions and thus without additional compensation as
well as by opening up the policy formulation process to a broad spectrum of
participants from outside government thereby enriching the process itself and
the policy recommendations that subsequently emanate from it The outputs
being d dist-illation of hopefully some of the best minds in (and as
necessary out of the country policy-makers ould be better-equipped for
decision-makinQ on zritical issues This would be supplemented by funding
provisions for training in issue-related fields From the foregoing the
Mission lxpectationthat government personnelwas would be actively involved
in te project without extra compensation so that much if not most of the
funds for non-training Development Issue Component activities would be paid
out to non-governmental institutions

B Communication Problems
The fact that the projects principal problems are rooted in basic
interpretational differences would seem to indicate problems in the
communication process between the USAID Mission and the Philippine Government
throuch its implementing agency the NEDA concerning the project indeed
for various reasons this appears to have been the case from the design stage
to at least the early stages of project implementation
1 Project design stage
Because of pressures brought on by approaching US budgetary deadlines in
mid-1983 there was little opportunity for any extensive discussion between
the ilission and the INEDA on the Project Paper which was prepared by the
Mission Staff Indications of the basic differences in expectations with
respect to the approach to project implementation thus began to surface only
in the course of implementation itself as the TDI-PMO based at NEDA began to
endorse for the Missions clearanceapproval specific proposals to use project
funds for non-training activities including equipment procurement
On this particular issue it may be pointed out that the language of the
Project Pap-- was by no means unequivocal in thie discussion of Submission
of Issue Proposals and Selection of issue Activities paragraphs 1 and 2 of
p 11 state that
A wide variety of organizations are expected to submit proposals and
thus be eligible for implementing ac-ivities These include (a) units
within NEDA (b)GOP agencies (c) Local governments (d)Government

TWo soecific situations contributed to the insufficiency of
communia-ions rirstly the NJEDA TDI-Project -lanagement and the USAID
Ilission differed on the particular issue of USAID representation in the
Project Steering Committee The Mission had expected to be an ex-officio
member of the Committee the TDI-Project Managements position on the other
hand vias that since the USAIDs role in the Steering Committee as specified
in the Project Agreement was advisory USAID participation in Steering
Committee meetinQs would be strictly on a need basis
Secondly neither the USAID nor more importantly even the NEDA TDI-PM1O
was devoting much time to the project
For example Project Impl ementation Letters setting out pertinent USAID
implementing guidelines and procedures were not issued early on The only
issuance of this nature (PIL NJo 3) came in January 1985 seventeen (17)
months after signing of the Project Agreement setting out the mechanism for
financing the Develoomen- Tssues Component (This represents a sharp contrast
to the Economic and Social Impact Analysis-Women in Development (ESIA-WID)
project in which within a little over three (3)months of the date of signing
of the Project Agreement at least five (5) PILs had been issued setting out
among other things criteria for satisfactory compliance with conditions
precedent guidelines for contracting and exemptions thereto and procedures
and documentation for requesting and liquidating AID Peso advances) Perhaps
this was due to USAID presumpions as to the extent of the project personnels
awareness of USAID rules and procedures

devel opment
0 Implementation Procedures
Following from the USAID premise of the broadest possible participation in
the policy formulation process the implementation procedures set out in the
Project Paper envisioned extensive use of seminars and conferences (about 30
to 40) in the entire course of project implementation from issue selection to
the presenta-ion of research findings and recommendations These procedures
were adopted in the implementation Plan of the DeveloDMnt issues Component
in the implementation o- zite project to-date however only one such
workshop-conFerence- has been nel d and this in October more tiian1985 two
years from the daze of signing of tne Project Agreemnt The purpose of this
workshop attended by representatives of various research institutions was to
publicize generate interest in and hopefully speed up research formulation
under the Development Issues Component of TDI
Significantly post-orkshop response to the project has been encouraging
wit~is aditionalproposals having already been received on topics in the
Research Agenca as ail as -n others related to it Still others are
currently under preparation From clnis standpoint much improvement may be
expected in the pace of mpement3ation of at least the research element of the

Coincidentally thirty-four j34) have been in long-term (one-year or more)
pr rams and twenty-five (25) in shorter programs
Based on the foregoing the training component of the TDI Project has to
date been proceeding by and large on schedule This notwithstanding however
it needs to be asked whether the component (including the training element of
the Development issues Component) has been operating in a manner consistent
with the training objectives of the project
B Objectives of Training Activities
As designed the training component of the TDI project was not only to
build upon but to improve on the General Participant Training (GPT) Program of
the 1970s Specifically whiie the GPT Program was observed to have lacked
focus on particular development issues or on specific human resource and
institutional development objectives that thereby limited its overall impact
training activities under the TDI project would support the institutional
objectives of requesting organizations contribute to improving manpower
skills critical to national and regional development and enhance capacities
related to the issues selected under the Development issues Component
Towards this end a survey of training needs of socio-economic
development-related government institutions was undertaken in the early stages
of the project On the basis of criteria approved by the project Steering
Committee survey responses were analyzed to come up with a prioritization of
agencies and of fields of study for funding under the projectshy

D Areas for gtnorovein
The foregoing general observations notwi thstanding however there are
definite areas for improvement in the operation and implementation of training
activities
o e-n viith the priorit zation scheme adopted while useful in guiding
the evaluation of specific requests fo training assistance leaves too much
room for flexibility in decision-making While the need for and the value of
flexibility in a program of this nature recognized too much it couldis of
easily lead to distortions in Program results That this has tended to be the
case is evident from the folloino
a) The predominance of gtEDA itself as recipient institution of the
training grants Of the fifty-nine (59) slots that had been made
available twen-y-two 2) or more thian a thi -d went to IEDA official s
and employees Relative to the slots that went to institutions in the
first priority list (43) the proportion is even higher at slightly
over half While a large proportion of project training funds going
to NEDA staff may be justifiable in terms of the institutions central
role in Philippine development plannin and policy-formulation such a
high proportion of resources going to a single agency is rather
excessive
b) Relatedly the predominance of fields of a general development nature
ie Economics Planning IMlanagement and Public Acimnistration and
Statistics in the fields of training supported under the project
These acounted for forty-four (44) of the fifty nne (59) slots
Again whlle the value of a broad perspective in policy-formulation is
recognized threo-fourtihs of the training allocation going into thi3
19shy
type of general zraining wou d seem to unduly undervalue tiie ieed for
more specza~ized types of poli cy anal vsis called for in many areas of
Phiippine development T is of course Dossble that these needs are
already being addressed tirou-gh projects other than the underone
consideration if so then - e present ellocation under the TDI
Project may well be jusified Unfortunately time constraints have
7 no- enabled -i-oser nvesiation of this mattershy
c) Funding of pr-grans in Law and Justice which though related to
socio economic development policy formulation is at best only
distantly so ParLicipation for instance in programs on American amp
internat-ional a as well as -n the US Legal System by members of
the Regional Trial Courts is to say the least difficult to justify
under tiis project However support towards laster s degrees in
Engineering of which rhere are two probably is justifiable as these
may be classified among the manpower skills critical to national and
regional development
d) Relative imbalance in the distribution of training slots between
participants from central offices and those from the regions Of the
fifty-nine (59) slots made available less than ten have gone to participants from the reg-onai offices Considering the thrust of the
present government towards genuine regionalzation including NEDAs
own interests improvements in this regard are especially called for
For instance the nei government is strengthening the role of the
Regional Development Council- and therefore these may be additional
training needs
_ According to the Hanager of the Participant Training Component this was in fact the case
The seconc road a-ea for improvemert is in monit-ori ng The establ i shment
of a sstem for monitoring of zrain n oarticioants both during and more
importantly after traind1n Was envsioned in thne project design The first
batch or tra nees iho went through one year programs in SY 1934 have been back
on the job for a ear and tiose wiho underwenr shorter programs have been back
for a longe period To cate hovever no back to office monitoring has been
undertken rendr in- di-ficut the assssent of traininc imDact relative to
obj ectives
E Usefulness of Training
Towards this end however limited interviews of immediate supervisors of
returned trai nees wiere carried out in this evaluation to obtain some feel for
the usefulness o1 training to the sponsoring institutions
in general the assessment of training impact has been very positive with
significant improvements observed in the overall depth and breadth of
analytical outputs of returned trainees in one instance however even
before the outset of tne training program the participant was transferred to
another unit to which immediate applicabilit of the training eventua1y
received was minimal thoh nonethelss potentially useful
On the transfer of knowledgeskills acquired to other personnel of the
sponsoring Insitutions the general approach has been through informal
discussions on the j o
- 21 -
V PRQ ECT SGJ I IT AND OUTLOOK
Implementation problems notwithstanding current evidence supports the
continued usefulness off the project towards the objective of building up
institutional capacities for policy analysis and decision-making in the
PhiliPPine bureaucracy The Tax Administration and Compliance Study for
instance thouqh still in the process of finalization has already contributed
siqnificant inputs to the recent formulation of a new Tax Reform Package
Outputs of the on-going research on Sectoral Classification of Trade and
Inve ment Data are already being programmed for use in the current drafting
of the Philippine Development Plan for 1987-1992 Limited interviews have
also established the positive contributions of training supported under the
project in terms of improved overall quality of analytical work of returned
trainees
The potential impact of the project is further considerably enhanced by
the fact of a new government which is seriously engaged in a broad-ranging
effort to review and as needed recast the whole gamut of policies
structures and procedures that intimately affect both the current and the
future life of the nation
In terms of project operations recent developments augur well for
improvements not only in the pace of project implementation but also in terms
of broadening the projects overall impact In the case of the Development
Issues Component mention has already been made of positive expectations
resultina from the workshop on the Research Agenda conducted in late 1935
Significantly because of the materially improved response that resulted from
thc workshop the TDI-PMO has decided to convene similar workshops on a
regular basis possibly twice a year

unlikely the full ip1ementation of The project within the current PACD
Furthermore the Pr o- ed mod ficiDns in the operating scheme of the
training component ioulc also take some time to work out Accordingly the
7oTDI-P1O is exoected put forard to USAID a request for a two-year extension
of the current PASD f the project is extended then there will be need for
another evaiua-ion in two years
VI RECOMME IDATI OS
in light of all of the foregoing the following recommendations are herein
made with respect to the TDI project
1 The project should continue and the PACD extended by two years to
December 1990
2 Should the Precedinig reccmmendation be approved another evaluation of
the project should be schedule- in thc first half of 1988
3 To contribute to the easing of the countrys debt servicing
difficulties and in consideration of the diffused social benefits of the
project the entire unearmarked loan allocation to the project should be
converted to outright grant
4 To enhance smooth and timely implementation of the project as a whole
and in particular of the non-training elements of the Development issues
Component a clear resolution of the issues that have herein been identified
as having largely held back proect progress should be made and agreements
reached should be clearly set out in project implementation letters
Critical items in this regard are the whole apProach to project
implementation and the related question of compensation for government
personnel and the issue of USAID membership in the Project Steering

7 For reasons that have already been indicated elsewhere in this
report at of part ofleast the management the procedures of the Development
Issues component (which now excludes training) should be transferred or
subcontracted to the Philippine Institute for Development Studies (PIDS) which
has consideraile experience with managing research and working with USAID
8 To improve the implementation of the development issues component
(a) The Steering Committee especially in light of the priorities of
the new GOP administration should focus and prioritize the Agenda of Areas of
Research This should be done with the intent of selecting only a limited
number of development issues in order to concentrate efforts involve more
institutions in the same topic and culminate through a series of activities
in concrete policy recommendations
(b) TDI-PI0 should implement present plans for more frequent workshops
and advertisements to solicit research proposals and to broaden participation
(c) In addition high level NEDA officials should continue to endeavor
to involve directly other ministers and deputy ministers in the selection of
development issue topics research assignments and discussions of results
NEDA should continue to make readily available TDI resources to other
ministries
(d) The regular selection process should be made simpler and quicker
through such steps as greater discretionary power to the NEDA-TDI Project
Manager to approve proposals on already cleared topics without further
approval of the Steering Committee or USAIO up to a limit of say $15000
per proposal
(e) An alternative formechanism selecting consultants should be
designed to meet immediate short-term needs The NEDA-TDI project manager
should have greater authority to initiate on his own within topic guidelines
approved by the Steering Committee and USAID consultancy contracts This
authority snould be limited both as to amount of any individual contract say
$15000 and to the total amount of all such contracts for the year say
$100000
9 The Evaluation Team endorses the TDI-PMO proposals for improving the
overall effectiveness and impact of training activities Specifically
(a)A more detailed training plan for the balance of the project
duration should be prepared based on an updated assessment of institutional
training needs The team feels that in this assessment special attention
should be given to the needs of regional offices Further while maximum
adherence to the formulated plan is desirable provision for some degree of
flexibility should also be allowed to enable the project to respond to
unforeseen but urgent training requirements that may arise in the course of
implemfentation For this purpose ten (10) per cent of the uncommitted
balance of the training allocation could remain unprogrammed and availed of
largely on a need basis
(b) Institutional participation in the training component should be
broadened not so much however by increasing the number of participating
institutions (although possibly that too) but more through the provision of
proportionately more slots to institutions that have been determined to rank
high in the institutional prioritization scheme
(c) Participation from the regional levels should be increased and
perhaps even given priority
(d) Extension of funding support to training in suitable fields in
selected regional training institutions in the country should be undertaken
n this reard full consi deration should be given toi nci uding training
ororms 7 rv ate -c--nal insi tutions The proposal to explore the
devloomnt of a aster s roram in DcveloDment Economics at the UP in
Diliman is siMilarlI endorsed
10 7n add-isn to the forejoing a reassessment of the distribution of
ii-s is-ai r 1 ly t iclh general and te more
setor-soecifiPopo1 cy analysi s stud prcgrams should be unde rtaken to ensure
th t the latter type of neecs is indeed being adequately addressed through
thi-s rojett in comb na tion i - othr d or-assi sted training programs If
not tIen soe shi ftng in proportions should be effected
11 Finally to enable continuini assessment of the extent to which project ojectives for the training component are being achieved the
otng system envisaged nder the project should immediately be
establisned and activated

I THE PROJECT
Title Training and Development Issues Project (492-0340) Project Start July 29 1983 PACD December 31 1983 Funding $6000000 (TOTAL)
$4500000 (AID-funded) $1200000 (Grant) $3300000 (Loan) $1500000 (GOP)
Purpose The purpose of the project is to improve the capability of Philippine Government and other institutions to analyze development issues and to make sound and timely development-related decisions
Current Status The above-mentioned purpose is pursued through the implementation of two project components namely (1)Participant Training Component and (2) Development Issues Comoonent As of 31 December 1985 a total of 29 overseas and 15 local training participants nave been supported by the Participant Training Component Meanwhile the Development Issues Component has directed efforts toward the development of the technical base for effective policy analysis Through the conduct of three researches under the broad develoPment issues identified for project attention preparation of concept papers on development planningand policy issues and provision of support for 4 overseas the same
and 34 local training participants As of date the Participant Training Component has
obligated 609 p-r cent of the total loan appropriation it has received so far and 967 per cent of its total grant budget The Developmeit Issues Component on the other hand has obligated 437 per cent of the total loan appropriations and 164 per cent of its total grant budget
I PURPOSE AND TIING OF THE EVALUATION
This evaluation will assess the progress of the implementation of the TDI Project and make reccmmendations for maximizing the projects impact on the development efforts of the Aquino Government It will identify the successful project activities and attempt to explain the advantages these have over ess successful activities It plans to investigate the problems and issues which appear to have hampered or delayedimplementation of the less successful and to determine mechanisms to avoid or resolve them The evaluation also will identiFy and assess new approaches for using project resources to achieve project objectives
More soecifically it will focus on five general areas
a the current status of project implementationb exIec7ations and Perceptions of TDI project by NEDA and USAID and c factors affecting project implementation d selection of DI componenT issues and Training component participants
and e opportunities and mechanisms for improving the project
As scheduled in the project paper the first evaluation will be conducted in FY 86
Based on tne findings the evaluation should recommend whether basicchannes in theproject design and implementation Procedures are necessary The recommendatiors should indicate the advantages and disadvantages of the design and procedural changes advocated

IV TEAM COMIPOSITION
The evaluation team must exhibit a thorough understanding of the following subject areas
1 Operations of the GOP specifically of NEDA and OEM2 Philippine develoDment issues and how these relate to policies3 IMechanics of Ai0 and USAIDPhilippines and4 The nature of the relationshio between USAID and N-DA5 The develooment priorities and opportunities of the Aquino government
The teams comPosition should represent expertise in the fields of organizational planning and management policy-making evaluation and management of research and training activities Given the sensitivities surrounding this project and the importance of this evaluation the teamshould not only be experts in the subject areas above they should also bewell known and respected by both INEDA and AID A team is expected to becomposed of a mix of Philippine and US consulrants or MissionAIDWashington personnel
The team will not have to collect and analyze a great deal of information because there have been very few implementation actions to date Thus asmall team of perhaps three or maybe four highly qualified persons should be sufficient

I BACKGROUND
The Training and Development Issues (TD) Project was designed to improve
the capability of the Philippine Government and other institutions to analyze
development issues and to make sound and timely development related
decisions This objective was sought to be achieved mainly through training
and the conduct of research and related activities on a small number of issues
deemed critical to the sustained pursuit of Philippine development
The project was conceived to address perceii gips in the USAID
assistance program to the Philippines First most previous research
activities had not focused on developing the information needed for effective
decision-making and policy review Second general participant training
projects had lacked specific focus and supporting activities thereby limiting
their impact And third sectorally focused institutional development
projects often could not fully a-hieve their development objectives because
many key policy related factors affecting project success were beyond the
control of the implementing agency
Under the Project Agreement vwhich was signed on 29 July 1983 USAID
committed to provide a total of $42 million in loans ($33 million) and
grants ($09 million) Of this amount $25 million was allocated to the
Development Issues Component and $16 million to the Training Conponent with
$100000 set aside for evaluation USAID funding for the project was
subsequently raised by a $3U0000 grant that brought the total USAID
commi tnent to $45 million Government counterpart funding amounted to $15
million PACD aas set at 31 December 1938

A Diveraence ofZiews on ADproach to Project imlementation
The slow start of the non-training elements of the Development Issues
Component of the TDI Project and its relatively slow progress to-date is
reflective of a fundamental divergence of views between the USAID Mission and the PhiliDDine Governmen implementin aqency for the proh EDA on~ _mni aec o h rject hNEDo
the approach to project implementaticn Specifically while both agree on
(a) the project objective of building up institutional capacities for the
analysis of and subsequent decision-making on key development issues and
(b) on the conduct of research undertakings (including conferences and fora)
to bring this about they dsagree on tne matter of payment for those involved
in the conduct of such research undertakings reflecting a difference in
approach to the at ainment o1 the project s objective
Tile USAID lissions exoectation was that the object-ive would be approached
by focusins goverment personnel attention on particular issues within the
context of their normal functions and thus without additional compensation as
well as by opening up the policy formulation process to a broad spectrum of
participants from outside government thereby enriching the process itself and
the policy recommendations that subsequently emanate from it The outputs
being d dist-illation of hopefully some of the best minds in (and as
necessary out of the country policy-makers ould be better-equipped for
decision-makinQ on zritical issues This would be supplemented by funding
provisions for training in issue-related fields From the foregoing the
Mission lxpectationthat government personnelwas would be actively involved
in te project without extra compensation so that much if not most of the
funds for non-training Development Issue Component activities would be paid
out to non-governmental institutions

B Communication Problems
The fact that the projects principal problems are rooted in basic
interpretational differences would seem to indicate problems in the
communication process between the USAID Mission and the Philippine Government
throuch its implementing agency the NEDA concerning the project indeed
for various reasons this appears to have been the case from the design stage
to at least the early stages of project implementation
1 Project design stage
Because of pressures brought on by approaching US budgetary deadlines in
mid-1983 there was little opportunity for any extensive discussion between
the ilission and the INEDA on the Project Paper which was prepared by the
Mission Staff Indications of the basic differences in expectations with
respect to the approach to project implementation thus began to surface only
in the course of implementation itself as the TDI-PMO based at NEDA began to
endorse for the Missions clearanceapproval specific proposals to use project
funds for non-training activities including equipment procurement
On this particular issue it may be pointed out that the language of the
Project Pap-- was by no means unequivocal in thie discussion of Submission
of Issue Proposals and Selection of issue Activities paragraphs 1 and 2 of
p 11 state that
A wide variety of organizations are expected to submit proposals and
thus be eligible for implementing ac-ivities These include (a) units
within NEDA (b)GOP agencies (c) Local governments (d)Government

TWo soecific situations contributed to the insufficiency of
communia-ions rirstly the NJEDA TDI-Project -lanagement and the USAID
Ilission differed on the particular issue of USAID representation in the
Project Steering Committee The Mission had expected to be an ex-officio
member of the Committee the TDI-Project Managements position on the other
hand vias that since the USAIDs role in the Steering Committee as specified
in the Project Agreement was advisory USAID participation in Steering
Committee meetinQs would be strictly on a need basis
Secondly neither the USAID nor more importantly even the NEDA TDI-PM1O
was devoting much time to the project
For example Project Impl ementation Letters setting out pertinent USAID
implementing guidelines and procedures were not issued early on The only
issuance of this nature (PIL NJo 3) came in January 1985 seventeen (17)
months after signing of the Project Agreement setting out the mechanism for
financing the Develoomen- Tssues Component (This represents a sharp contrast
to the Economic and Social Impact Analysis-Women in Development (ESIA-WID)
project in which within a little over three (3)months of the date of signing
of the Project Agreement at least five (5) PILs had been issued setting out
among other things criteria for satisfactory compliance with conditions
precedent guidelines for contracting and exemptions thereto and procedures
and documentation for requesting and liquidating AID Peso advances) Perhaps
this was due to USAID presumpions as to the extent of the project personnels
awareness of USAID rules and procedures

an prioritize poi cy research issues and proposals that bear on Philippine
devel opment
0 Implementation Procedures
Following from the USAID premise of the broadest possible participation in
the policy formulation process the implementation procedures set out in the
Project Paper envisioned extensive use of seminars and conferences (about 30
to 40) in the entire course of project implementation from issue selection to
the presenta-ion of research findings and recommendations These procedures
were adopted in the implementation Plan of the DeveloDMnt issues Component
in the implementation o- zite project to-date however only one such
workshop-conFerence- has been nel d and this in October more tiian1985 two
years from the daze of signing of tne Project Agreemnt The purpose of this
workshop attended by representatives of various research institutions was to
publicize generate interest in and hopefully speed up research formulation
under the Development Issues Component of TDI
Significantly post-orkshop response to the project has been encouraging
wit~is aditionalproposals having already been received on topics in the
Research Agenca as ail as -n others related to it Still others are
currently under preparation From clnis standpoint much improvement may be
expected in the pace of mpement3ation of at least the research element of the
5Development -ssues Component within the coming monthsshy
5 The Steering Committee was scheduled to meet on 14 July 1986 at which approval of research proposals 4ith a total cost of just under $200000 is expected

Coincidentally thirty-four j34) have been in long-term (one-year or more)
pr rams and twenty-five (25) in shorter programs
Based on the foregoing the training component of the TDI Project has to
date been proceeding by and large on schedule This notwithstanding however
it needs to be asked whether the component (including the training element of
the Development issues Component) has been operating in a manner consistent
with the training objectives of the project
B Objectives of Training Activities
As designed the training component of the TDI project was not only to
build upon but to improve on the General Participant Training (GPT) Program of
the 1970s Specifically whiie the GPT Program was observed to have lacked
focus on particular development issues or on specific human resource and
institutional development objectives that thereby limited its overall impact
training activities under the TDI project would support the institutional
objectives of requesting organizations contribute to improving manpower
skills critical to national and regional development and enhance capacities
related to the issues selected under the Development issues Component
Towards this end a survey of training needs of socio-economic
development-related government institutions was undertaken in the early stages
of the project On the basis of criteria approved by the project Steering
Committee survey responses were analyzed to come up with a prioritization of
agencies and of fields of study for funding under the projectshy

D Areas for gtnorovein
The foregoing general observations notwi thstanding however there are
definite areas for improvement in the operation and implementation of training
activities
o e-n viith the priorit zation scheme adopted while useful in guiding
the evaluation of specific requests fo training assistance leaves too much
room for flexibility in decision-making While the need for and the value of
flexibility in a program of this nature recognized too much it couldis of
easily lead to distortions in Program results That this has tended to be the
case is evident from the folloino
a) The predominance of gtEDA itself as recipient institution of the
training grants Of the fifty-nine (59) slots that had been made
available twen-y-two 2) or more thian a thi -d went to IEDA official s
and employees Relative to the slots that went to institutions in the
first priority list (43) the proportion is even higher at slightly
over half While a large proportion of project training funds going
to NEDA staff may be justifiable in terms of the institutions central
role in Philippine development plannin and policy-formulation such a
high proportion of resources going to a single agency is rather
excessive
b) Relatedly the predominance of fields of a general development nature
ie Economics Planning IMlanagement and Public Acimnistration and
Statistics in the fields of training supported under the project
These acounted for forty-four (44) of the fifty nne (59) slots
Again whlle the value of a broad perspective in policy-formulation is
recognized threo-fourtihs of the training allocation going into thi3
19shy
type of general zraining wou d seem to unduly undervalue tiie ieed for
more specza~ized types of poli cy anal vsis called for in many areas of
Phiippine development T is of course Dossble that these needs are
already being addressed tirou-gh projects other than the underone
consideration if so then - e present ellocation under the TDI
Project may well be jusified Unfortunately time constraints have
7 no- enabled -i-oser nvesiation of this mattershy
c) Funding of pr-grans in Law and Justice which though related to
socio economic development policy formulation is at best only
distantly so ParLicipation for instance in programs on American amp
internat-ional a as well as -n the US Legal System by members of
the Regional Trial Courts is to say the least difficult to justify
under tiis project However support towards laster s degrees in
Engineering of which rhere are two probably is justifiable as these
may be classified among the manpower skills critical to national and
regional development
d) Relative imbalance in the distribution of training slots between
participants from central offices and those from the regions Of the
fifty-nine (59) slots made available less than ten have gone to participants from the reg-onai offices Considering the thrust of the
present government towards genuine regionalzation including NEDAs
own interests improvements in this regard are especially called for
For instance the nei government is strengthening the role of the
Regional Development Council- and therefore these may be additional
training needs
_ According to the Hanager of the Participant Training Component this was in fact the case
The seconc road a-ea for improvemert is in monit-ori ng The establ i shment
of a sstem for monitoring of zrain n oarticioants both during and more
importantly after traind1n Was envsioned in thne project design The first
batch or tra nees iho went through one year programs in SY 1934 have been back
on the job for a ear and tiose wiho underwenr shorter programs have been back
for a longe period To cate hovever no back to office monitoring has been
undertken rendr in- di-ficut the assssent of traininc imDact relative to
obj ectives
E Usefulness of Training
Towards this end however limited interviews of immediate supervisors of
returned trai nees wiere carried out in this evaluation to obtain some feel for
the usefulness o1 training to the sponsoring institutions
in general the assessment of training impact has been very positive with
significant improvements observed in the overall depth and breadth of
analytical outputs of returned trainees in one instance however even
before the outset of tne training program the participant was transferred to
another unit to which immediate applicabilit of the training eventua1y
received was minimal thoh nonethelss potentially useful
On the transfer of knowledgeskills acquired to other personnel of the
sponsoring Insitutions the general approach has been through informal
discussions on the j o
- 21 -
V PRQ ECT SGJ I IT AND OUTLOOK
Implementation problems notwithstanding current evidence supports the
continued usefulness off the project towards the objective of building up
institutional capacities for policy analysis and decision-making in the
PhiliPPine bureaucracy The Tax Administration and Compliance Study for
instance thouqh still in the process of finalization has already contributed
siqnificant inputs to the recent formulation of a new Tax Reform Package
Outputs of the on-going research on Sectoral Classification of Trade and
Inve ment Data are already being programmed for use in the current drafting
of the Philippine Development Plan for 1987-1992 Limited interviews have
also established the positive contributions of training supported under the
project in terms of improved overall quality of analytical work of returned
trainees
The potential impact of the project is further considerably enhanced by
the fact of a new government which is seriously engaged in a broad-ranging
effort to review and as needed recast the whole gamut of policies
structures and procedures that intimately affect both the current and the
future life of the nation
In terms of project operations recent developments augur well for
improvements not only in the pace of project implementation but also in terms
of broadening the projects overall impact In the case of the Development
Issues Component mention has already been made of positive expectations
resultina from the workshop on the Research Agenda conducted in late 1935
Significantly because of the materially improved response that resulted from
thc workshop the TDI-PMO has decided to convene similar workshops on a
regular basis possibly twice a year

unlikely the full ip1ementation of The project within the current PACD
Furthermore the Pr o- ed mod ficiDns in the operating scheme of the
training component ioulc also take some time to work out Accordingly the
7oTDI-P1O is exoected put forard to USAID a request for a two-year extension
of the current PASD f the project is extended then there will be need for
another evaiua-ion in two years
VI RECOMME IDATI OS
in light of all of the foregoing the following recommendations are herein
made with respect to the TDI project
1 The project should continue and the PACD extended by two years to
December 1990
2 Should the Precedinig reccmmendation be approved another evaluation of
the project should be schedule- in thc first half of 1988
3 To contribute to the easing of the countrys debt servicing
difficulties and in consideration of the diffused social benefits of the
project the entire unearmarked loan allocation to the project should be
converted to outright grant
4 To enhance smooth and timely implementation of the project as a whole
and in particular of the non-training elements of the Development issues
Component a clear resolution of the issues that have herein been identified
as having largely held back proect progress should be made and agreements
reached should be clearly set out in project implementation letters
Critical items in this regard are the whole apProach to project
implementation and the related question of compensation for government
personnel and the issue of USAID membership in the Project Steering

7 For reasons that have already been indicated elsewhere in this
report at of part ofleast the management the procedures of the Development
Issues component (which now excludes training) should be transferred or
subcontracted to the Philippine Institute for Development Studies (PIDS) which
has consideraile experience with managing research and working with USAID
8 To improve the implementation of the development issues component
(a) The Steering Committee especially in light of the priorities of
the new GOP administration should focus and prioritize the Agenda of Areas of
Research This should be done with the intent of selecting only a limited
number of development issues in order to concentrate efforts involve more
institutions in the same topic and culminate through a series of activities
in concrete policy recommendations
(b) TDI-PI0 should implement present plans for more frequent workshops
and advertisements to solicit research proposals and to broaden participation
(c) In addition high level NEDA officials should continue to endeavor
to involve directly other ministers and deputy ministers in the selection of
development issue topics research assignments and discussions of results
NEDA should continue to make readily available TDI resources to other
ministries
(d) The regular selection process should be made simpler and quicker
through such steps as greater discretionary power to the NEDA-TDI Project
Manager to approve proposals on already cleared topics without further
approval of the Steering Committee or USAIO up to a limit of say $15000
per proposal
(e) An alternative formechanism selecting consultants should be
designed to meet immediate short-term needs The NEDA-TDI project manager
should have greater authority to initiate on his own within topic guidelines
approved by the Steering Committee and USAID consultancy contracts This
authority snould be limited both as to amount of any individual contract say
$15000 and to the total amount of all such contracts for the year say
$100000
9 The Evaluation Team endorses the TDI-PMO proposals for improving the
overall effectiveness and impact of training activities Specifically
(a)A more detailed training plan for the balance of the project
duration should be prepared based on an updated assessment of institutional
training needs The team feels that in this assessment special attention
should be given to the needs of regional offices Further while maximum
adherence to the formulated plan is desirable provision for some degree of
flexibility should also be allowed to enable the project to respond to
unforeseen but urgent training requirements that may arise in the course of
implemfentation For this purpose ten (10) per cent of the uncommitted
balance of the training allocation could remain unprogrammed and availed of
largely on a need basis
(b) Institutional participation in the training component should be
broadened not so much however by increasing the number of participating
institutions (although possibly that too) but more through the provision of
proportionately more slots to institutions that have been determined to rank
high in the institutional prioritization scheme
(c) Participation from the regional levels should be increased and
perhaps even given priority
(d) Extension of funding support to training in suitable fields in
selected regional training institutions in the country should be undertaken
n this reard full consi deration should be given toi nci uding training
ororms 7 rv ate -c--nal insi tutions The proposal to explore the
devloomnt of a aster s roram in DcveloDment Economics at the UP in
Diliman is siMilarlI endorsed
10 7n add-isn to the forejoing a reassessment of the distribution of
ii-s is-ai r 1 ly t iclh general and te more
setor-soecifiPopo1 cy analysi s stud prcgrams should be unde rtaken to ensure
th t the latter type of neecs is indeed being adequately addressed through
thi-s rojett in comb na tion i - othr d or-assi sted training programs If
not tIen soe shi ftng in proportions should be effected
11 Finally to enable continuini assessment of the extent to which project ojectives for the training component are being achieved the
otng system envisaged nder the project should immediately be
establisned and activated

Purpose The purpose of the project is to improve the capability of Philippine Government and other institutions to analyze development issues and to make sound and timely development-related decisions
Current Status The above-mentioned purpose is pursued through the implementation of two project components namely (1)Participant Training Component and (2) Development Issues Comoonent As of 31 December 1985 a total of 29 overseas and 15 local training participants nave been supported by the Participant Training Component Meanwhile the Development Issues Component has directed efforts toward the development of the technical base for effective policy analysis Through the conduct of three researches under the broad develoPment issues identified for project attention preparation of concept papers on development planningand policy issues and provision of support for 4 overseas the same
and 34 local training participants As of date the Participant Training Component has
obligated 609 p-r cent of the total loan appropriation it has received so far and 967 per cent of its total grant budget The Developmeit Issues Component on the other hand has obligated 437 per cent of the total loan appropriations and 164 per cent of its total grant budget
I PURPOSE AND TIING OF THE EVALUATION
This evaluation will assess the progress of the implementation of the TDI Project and make reccmmendations for maximizing the projects impact on the development efforts of the Aquino Government It will identify the successful project activities and attempt to explain the advantages these have over ess successful activities It plans to investigate the problems and issues which appear to have hampered or delayedimplementation of the less successful and to determine mechanisms to avoid or resolve them The evaluation also will identiFy and assess new approaches for using project resources to achieve project objectives
More soecifically it will focus on five general areas
a the current status of project implementationb exIec7ations and Perceptions of TDI project by NEDA and USAID and c factors affecting project implementation d selection of DI componenT issues and Training component participants
and e opportunities and mechanisms for improving the project
As scheduled in the project paper the first evaluation will be conducted in FY 86
Based on tne findings the evaluation should recommend whether basicchannes in theproject design and implementation Procedures are necessary The recommendatiors should indicate the advantages and disadvantages of the design and procedural changes advocated

IV TEAM COMIPOSITION
The evaluation team must exhibit a thorough understanding of the following subject areas
1 Operations of the GOP specifically of NEDA and OEM2 Philippine develoDment issues and how these relate to policies3 IMechanics of Ai0 and USAIDPhilippines and4 The nature of the relationshio between USAID and N-DA5 The develooment priorities and opportunities of the Aquino government
The teams comPosition should represent expertise in the fields of organizational planning and management policy-making evaluation and management of research and training activities Given the sensitivities surrounding this project and the importance of this evaluation the teamshould not only be experts in the subject areas above they should also bewell known and respected by both INEDA and AID A team is expected to becomposed of a mix of Philippine and US consulrants or MissionAIDWashington personnel
The team will not have to collect and analyze a great deal of information because there have been very few implementation actions to date Thus asmall team of perhaps three or maybe four highly qualified persons should be sufficient

I BACKGROUND
The Training and Development Issues (TD) Project was designed to improve
the capability of the Philippine Government and other institutions to analyze
development issues and to make sound and timely development related
decisions This objective was sought to be achieved mainly through training
and the conduct of research and related activities on a small number of issues
deemed critical to the sustained pursuit of Philippine development
The project was conceived to address perceii gips in the USAID
assistance program to the Philippines First most previous research
activities had not focused on developing the information needed for effective
decision-making and policy review Second general participant training
projects had lacked specific focus and supporting activities thereby limiting
their impact And third sectorally focused institutional development
projects often could not fully a-hieve their development objectives because
many key policy related factors affecting project success were beyond the
control of the implementing agency
Under the Project Agreement vwhich was signed on 29 July 1983 USAID
committed to provide a total of $42 million in loans ($33 million) and
grants ($09 million) Of this amount $25 million was allocated to the
Development Issues Component and $16 million to the Training Conponent with
$100000 set aside for evaluation USAID funding for the project was
subsequently raised by a $3U0000 grant that brought the total USAID
commi tnent to $45 million Government counterpart funding amounted to $15
million PACD aas set at 31 December 1938

A Diveraence ofZiews on ADproach to Project imlementation
The slow start of the non-training elements of the Development Issues
Component of the TDI Project and its relatively slow progress to-date is
reflective of a fundamental divergence of views between the USAID Mission and the PhiliDDine Governmen implementin aqency for the proh EDA on~ _mni aec o h rject hNEDo
the approach to project implementaticn Specifically while both agree on
(a) the project objective of building up institutional capacities for the
analysis of and subsequent decision-making on key development issues and
(b) on the conduct of research undertakings (including conferences and fora)
to bring this about they dsagree on tne matter of payment for those involved
in the conduct of such research undertakings reflecting a difference in
approach to the at ainment o1 the project s objective
Tile USAID lissions exoectation was that the object-ive would be approached
by focusins goverment personnel attention on particular issues within the
context of their normal functions and thus without additional compensation as
well as by opening up the policy formulation process to a broad spectrum of
participants from outside government thereby enriching the process itself and
the policy recommendations that subsequently emanate from it The outputs
being d dist-illation of hopefully some of the best minds in (and as
necessary out of the country policy-makers ould be better-equipped for
decision-makinQ on zritical issues This would be supplemented by funding
provisions for training in issue-related fields From the foregoing the
Mission lxpectationthat government personnelwas would be actively involved
in te project without extra compensation so that much if not most of the
funds for non-training Development Issue Component activities would be paid
out to non-governmental institutions

interpretational differences would seem to indicate problems in the
communication process between the USAID Mission and the Philippine Government
throuch its implementing agency the NEDA concerning the project indeed
for various reasons this appears to have been the case from the design stage
to at least the early stages of project implementation
1 Project design stage
Because of pressures brought on by approaching US budgetary deadlines in
mid-1983 there was little opportunity for any extensive discussion between
the ilission and the INEDA on the Project Paper which was prepared by the
Mission Staff Indications of the basic differences in expectations with
respect to the approach to project implementation thus began to surface only
in the course of implementation itself as the TDI-PMO based at NEDA began to
endorse for the Missions clearanceapproval specific proposals to use project
funds for non-training activities including equipment procurement
On this particular issue it may be pointed out that the language of the
Project Pap-- was by no means unequivocal in thie discussion of Submission
of Issue Proposals and Selection of issue Activities paragraphs 1 and 2 of
p 11 state that
A wide variety of organizations are expected to submit proposals and
thus be eligible for implementing ac-ivities These include (a) units
within NEDA (b)GOP agencies (c) Local governments (d)Government

TWo soecific situations contributed to the insufficiency of
communia-ions rirstly the NJEDA TDI-Project -lanagement and the USAID
Ilission differed on the particular issue of USAID representation in the
Project Steering Committee The Mission had expected to be an ex-officio
member of the Committee the TDI-Project Managements position on the other
hand vias that since the USAIDs role in the Steering Committee as specified
in the Project Agreement was advisory USAID participation in Steering
Committee meetinQs would be strictly on a need basis
Secondly neither the USAID nor more importantly even the NEDA TDI-PM1O
was devoting much time to the project
For example Project Impl ementation Letters setting out pertinent USAID
implementing guidelines and procedures were not issued early on The only
issuance of this nature (PIL NJo 3) came in January 1985 seventeen (17)
months after signing of the Project Agreement setting out the mechanism for
financing the Develoomen- Tssues Component (This represents a sharp contrast
to the Economic and Social Impact Analysis-Women in Development (ESIA-WID)
project in which within a little over three (3)months of the date of signing
of the Project Agreement at least five (5) PILs had been issued setting out
among other things criteria for satisfactory compliance with conditions
precedent guidelines for contracting and exemptions thereto and procedures
and documentation for requesting and liquidating AID Peso advances) Perhaps
this was due to USAID presumpions as to the extent of the project personnels
awareness of USAID rules and procedures

an prioritize poi cy research issues and proposals that bear on Philippine
devel opment
0 Implementation Procedures
Following from the USAID premise of the broadest possible participation in
the policy formulation process the implementation procedures set out in the
Project Paper envisioned extensive use of seminars and conferences (about 30
to 40) in the entire course of project implementation from issue selection to
the presenta-ion of research findings and recommendations These procedures
were adopted in the implementation Plan of the DeveloDMnt issues Component
in the implementation o- zite project to-date however only one such
workshop-conFerence- has been nel d and this in October more tiian1985 two
years from the daze of signing of tne Project Agreemnt The purpose of this
workshop attended by representatives of various research institutions was to
publicize generate interest in and hopefully speed up research formulation
under the Development Issues Component of TDI
Significantly post-orkshop response to the project has been encouraging
wit~is aditionalproposals having already been received on topics in the
Research Agenca as ail as -n others related to it Still others are
currently under preparation From clnis standpoint much improvement may be
expected in the pace of mpement3ation of at least the research element of the
5Development -ssues Component within the coming monthsshy
5 The Steering Committee was scheduled to meet on 14 July 1986 at which approval of research proposals 4ith a total cost of just under $200000 is expected

Coincidentally thirty-four j34) have been in long-term (one-year or more)
pr rams and twenty-five (25) in shorter programs
Based on the foregoing the training component of the TDI Project has to
date been proceeding by and large on schedule This notwithstanding however
it needs to be asked whether the component (including the training element of
the Development issues Component) has been operating in a manner consistent
with the training objectives of the project
B Objectives of Training Activities
As designed the training component of the TDI project was not only to
build upon but to improve on the General Participant Training (GPT) Program of
the 1970s Specifically whiie the GPT Program was observed to have lacked
focus on particular development issues or on specific human resource and
institutional development objectives that thereby limited its overall impact
training activities under the TDI project would support the institutional
objectives of requesting organizations contribute to improving manpower
skills critical to national and regional development and enhance capacities
related to the issues selected under the Development issues Component
Towards this end a survey of training needs of socio-economic
development-related government institutions was undertaken in the early stages
of the project On the basis of criteria approved by the project Steering
Committee survey responses were analyzed to come up with a prioritization of
agencies and of fields of study for funding under the projectshy

D Areas for gtnorovein
The foregoing general observations notwi thstanding however there are
definite areas for improvement in the operation and implementation of training
activities
o e-n viith the priorit zation scheme adopted while useful in guiding
the evaluation of specific requests fo training assistance leaves too much
room for flexibility in decision-making While the need for and the value of
flexibility in a program of this nature recognized too much it couldis of
easily lead to distortions in Program results That this has tended to be the
case is evident from the folloino
a) The predominance of gtEDA itself as recipient institution of the
training grants Of the fifty-nine (59) slots that had been made
available twen-y-two 2) or more thian a thi -d went to IEDA official s
and employees Relative to the slots that went to institutions in the
first priority list (43) the proportion is even higher at slightly
over half While a large proportion of project training funds going
to NEDA staff may be justifiable in terms of the institutions central
role in Philippine development plannin and policy-formulation such a
high proportion of resources going to a single agency is rather
excessive
b) Relatedly the predominance of fields of a general development nature
ie Economics Planning IMlanagement and Public Acimnistration and
Statistics in the fields of training supported under the project
These acounted for forty-four (44) of the fifty nne (59) slots
Again whlle the value of a broad perspective in policy-formulation is
recognized threo-fourtihs of the training allocation going into thi3
19shy
type of general zraining wou d seem to unduly undervalue tiie ieed for
more specza~ized types of poli cy anal vsis called for in many areas of
Phiippine development T is of course Dossble that these needs are
already being addressed tirou-gh projects other than the underone
consideration if so then - e present ellocation under the TDI
Project may well be jusified Unfortunately time constraints have
7 no- enabled -i-oser nvesiation of this mattershy
c) Funding of pr-grans in Law and Justice which though related to
socio economic development policy formulation is at best only
distantly so ParLicipation for instance in programs on American amp
internat-ional a as well as -n the US Legal System by members of
the Regional Trial Courts is to say the least difficult to justify
under tiis project However support towards laster s degrees in
Engineering of which rhere are two probably is justifiable as these
may be classified among the manpower skills critical to national and
regional development
d) Relative imbalance in the distribution of training slots between
participants from central offices and those from the regions Of the
fifty-nine (59) slots made available less than ten have gone to participants from the reg-onai offices Considering the thrust of the
present government towards genuine regionalzation including NEDAs
own interests improvements in this regard are especially called for
For instance the nei government is strengthening the role of the
Regional Development Council- and therefore these may be additional
training needs
_ According to the Hanager of the Participant Training Component this was in fact the case
The seconc road a-ea for improvemert is in monit-ori ng The establ i shment
of a sstem for monitoring of zrain n oarticioants both during and more
importantly after traind1n Was envsioned in thne project design The first
batch or tra nees iho went through one year programs in SY 1934 have been back
on the job for a ear and tiose wiho underwenr shorter programs have been back
for a longe period To cate hovever no back to office monitoring has been
undertken rendr in- di-ficut the assssent of traininc imDact relative to
obj ectives
E Usefulness of Training
Towards this end however limited interviews of immediate supervisors of
returned trai nees wiere carried out in this evaluation to obtain some feel for
the usefulness o1 training to the sponsoring institutions
in general the assessment of training impact has been very positive with
significant improvements observed in the overall depth and breadth of
analytical outputs of returned trainees in one instance however even
before the outset of tne training program the participant was transferred to
another unit to which immediate applicabilit of the training eventua1y
received was minimal thoh nonethelss potentially useful
On the transfer of knowledgeskills acquired to other personnel of the
sponsoring Insitutions the general approach has been through informal
discussions on the j o
- 21 -
V PRQ ECT SGJ I IT AND OUTLOOK
Implementation problems notwithstanding current evidence supports the
continued usefulness off the project towards the objective of building up
institutional capacities for policy analysis and decision-making in the
PhiliPPine bureaucracy The Tax Administration and Compliance Study for
instance thouqh still in the process of finalization has already contributed
siqnificant inputs to the recent formulation of a new Tax Reform Package
Outputs of the on-going research on Sectoral Classification of Trade and
Inve ment Data are already being programmed for use in the current drafting
of the Philippine Development Plan for 1987-1992 Limited interviews have
also established the positive contributions of training supported under the
project in terms of improved overall quality of analytical work of returned
trainees
The potential impact of the project is further considerably enhanced by
the fact of a new government which is seriously engaged in a broad-ranging
effort to review and as needed recast the whole gamut of policies
structures and procedures that intimately affect both the current and the
future life of the nation
In terms of project operations recent developments augur well for
improvements not only in the pace of project implementation but also in terms
of broadening the projects overall impact In the case of the Development
Issues Component mention has already been made of positive expectations
resultina from the workshop on the Research Agenda conducted in late 1935
Significantly because of the materially improved response that resulted from
thc workshop the TDI-PMO has decided to convene similar workshops on a
regular basis possibly twice a year

unlikely the full ip1ementation of The project within the current PACD
Furthermore the Pr o- ed mod ficiDns in the operating scheme of the
training component ioulc also take some time to work out Accordingly the
7oTDI-P1O is exoected put forard to USAID a request for a two-year extension
of the current PASD f the project is extended then there will be need for
another evaiua-ion in two years
VI RECOMME IDATI OS
in light of all of the foregoing the following recommendations are herein
made with respect to the TDI project
1 The project should continue and the PACD extended by two years to
December 1990
2 Should the Precedinig reccmmendation be approved another evaluation of
the project should be schedule- in thc first half of 1988
3 To contribute to the easing of the countrys debt servicing
difficulties and in consideration of the diffused social benefits of the
project the entire unearmarked loan allocation to the project should be
converted to outright grant
4 To enhance smooth and timely implementation of the project as a whole
and in particular of the non-training elements of the Development issues
Component a clear resolution of the issues that have herein been identified
as having largely held back proect progress should be made and agreements
reached should be clearly set out in project implementation letters
Critical items in this regard are the whole apProach to project
implementation and the related question of compensation for government
personnel and the issue of USAID membership in the Project Steering

7 For reasons that have already been indicated elsewhere in this
report at of part ofleast the management the procedures of the Development
Issues component (which now excludes training) should be transferred or
subcontracted to the Philippine Institute for Development Studies (PIDS) which
has consideraile experience with managing research and working with USAID
8 To improve the implementation of the development issues component
(a) The Steering Committee especially in light of the priorities of
the new GOP administration should focus and prioritize the Agenda of Areas of
Research This should be done with the intent of selecting only a limited
number of development issues in order to concentrate efforts involve more
institutions in the same topic and culminate through a series of activities
in concrete policy recommendations
(b) TDI-PI0 should implement present plans for more frequent workshops
and advertisements to solicit research proposals and to broaden participation
(c) In addition high level NEDA officials should continue to endeavor
to involve directly other ministers and deputy ministers in the selection of
development issue topics research assignments and discussions of results
NEDA should continue to make readily available TDI resources to other
ministries
(d) The regular selection process should be made simpler and quicker
through such steps as greater discretionary power to the NEDA-TDI Project
Manager to approve proposals on already cleared topics without further
approval of the Steering Committee or USAIO up to a limit of say $15000
per proposal
(e) An alternative formechanism selecting consultants should be
designed to meet immediate short-term needs The NEDA-TDI project manager
should have greater authority to initiate on his own within topic guidelines
approved by the Steering Committee and USAID consultancy contracts This
authority snould be limited both as to amount of any individual contract say
$15000 and to the total amount of all such contracts for the year say
$100000
9 The Evaluation Team endorses the TDI-PMO proposals for improving the
overall effectiveness and impact of training activities Specifically
(a)A more detailed training plan for the balance of the project
duration should be prepared based on an updated assessment of institutional
training needs The team feels that in this assessment special attention
should be given to the needs of regional offices Further while maximum
adherence to the formulated plan is desirable provision for some degree of
flexibility should also be allowed to enable the project to respond to
unforeseen but urgent training requirements that may arise in the course of
implemfentation For this purpose ten (10) per cent of the uncommitted
balance of the training allocation could remain unprogrammed and availed of
largely on a need basis
(b) Institutional participation in the training component should be
broadened not so much however by increasing the number of participating
institutions (although possibly that too) but more through the provision of
proportionately more slots to institutions that have been determined to rank
high in the institutional prioritization scheme
(c) Participation from the regional levels should be increased and
perhaps even given priority
(d) Extension of funding support to training in suitable fields in
selected regional training institutions in the country should be undertaken
n this reard full consi deration should be given toi nci uding training
ororms 7 rv ate -c--nal insi tutions The proposal to explore the
devloomnt of a aster s roram in DcveloDment Economics at the UP in
Diliman is siMilarlI endorsed
10 7n add-isn to the forejoing a reassessment of the distribution of
ii-s is-ai r 1 ly t iclh general and te more
setor-soecifiPopo1 cy analysi s stud prcgrams should be unde rtaken to ensure
th t the latter type of neecs is indeed being adequately addressed through
thi-s rojett in comb na tion i - othr d or-assi sted training programs If
not tIen soe shi ftng in proportions should be effected
11 Finally to enable continuini assessment of the extent to which project ojectives for the training component are being achieved the
otng system envisaged nder the project should immediately be
establisned and activated

Purpose The purpose of the project is to improve the capability of Philippine Government and other institutions to analyze development issues and to make sound and timely development-related decisions
Current Status The above-mentioned purpose is pursued through the implementation of two project components namely (1)Participant Training Component and (2) Development Issues Comoonent As of 31 December 1985 a total of 29 overseas and 15 local training participants nave been supported by the Participant Training Component Meanwhile the Development Issues Component has directed efforts toward the development of the technical base for effective policy analysis Through the conduct of three researches under the broad develoPment issues identified for project attention preparation of concept papers on development planningand policy issues and provision of support for 4 overseas the same
and 34 local training participants As of date the Participant Training Component has
obligated 609 p-r cent of the total loan appropriation it has received so far and 967 per cent of its total grant budget The Developmeit Issues Component on the other hand has obligated 437 per cent of the total loan appropriations and 164 per cent of its total grant budget
I PURPOSE AND TIING OF THE EVALUATION
This evaluation will assess the progress of the implementation of the TDI Project and make reccmmendations for maximizing the projects impact on the development efforts of the Aquino Government It will identify the successful project activities and attempt to explain the advantages these have over ess successful activities It plans to investigate the problems and issues which appear to have hampered or delayedimplementation of the less successful and to determine mechanisms to avoid or resolve them The evaluation also will identiFy and assess new approaches for using project resources to achieve project objectives
More soecifically it will focus on five general areas
a the current status of project implementationb exIec7ations and Perceptions of TDI project by NEDA and USAID and c factors affecting project implementation d selection of DI componenT issues and Training component participants
and e opportunities and mechanisms for improving the project
As scheduled in the project paper the first evaluation will be conducted in FY 86
Based on tne findings the evaluation should recommend whether basicchannes in theproject design and implementation Procedures are necessary The recommendatiors should indicate the advantages and disadvantages of the design and procedural changes advocated

IV TEAM COMIPOSITION
The evaluation team must exhibit a thorough understanding of the following subject areas
1 Operations of the GOP specifically of NEDA and OEM2 Philippine develoDment issues and how these relate to policies3 IMechanics of Ai0 and USAIDPhilippines and4 The nature of the relationshio between USAID and N-DA5 The develooment priorities and opportunities of the Aquino government
The teams comPosition should represent expertise in the fields of organizational planning and management policy-making evaluation and management of research and training activities Given the sensitivities surrounding this project and the importance of this evaluation the teamshould not only be experts in the subject areas above they should also bewell known and respected by both INEDA and AID A team is expected to becomposed of a mix of Philippine and US consulrants or MissionAIDWashington personnel
The team will not have to collect and analyze a great deal of information because there have been very few implementation actions to date Thus asmall team of perhaps three or maybe four highly qualified persons should be sufficient

I BACKGROUND
The Training and Development Issues (TD) Project was designed to improve
the capability of the Philippine Government and other institutions to analyze
development issues and to make sound and timely development related
decisions This objective was sought to be achieved mainly through training
and the conduct of research and related activities on a small number of issues
deemed critical to the sustained pursuit of Philippine development
The project was conceived to address perceii gips in the USAID
assistance program to the Philippines First most previous research
activities had not focused on developing the information needed for effective
decision-making and policy review Second general participant training
projects had lacked specific focus and supporting activities thereby limiting
their impact And third sectorally focused institutional development
projects often could not fully a-hieve their development objectives because
many key policy related factors affecting project success were beyond the
control of the implementing agency
Under the Project Agreement vwhich was signed on 29 July 1983 USAID
committed to provide a total of $42 million in loans ($33 million) and
grants ($09 million) Of this amount $25 million was allocated to the
Development Issues Component and $16 million to the Training Conponent with
$100000 set aside for evaluation USAID funding for the project was
subsequently raised by a $3U0000 grant that brought the total USAID
commi tnent to $45 million Government counterpart funding amounted to $15
million PACD aas set at 31 December 1938

A Diveraence ofZiews on ADproach to Project imlementation
The slow start of the non-training elements of the Development Issues
Component of the TDI Project and its relatively slow progress to-date is
reflective of a fundamental divergence of views between the USAID Mission and the PhiliDDine Governmen implementin aqency for the proh EDA on~ _mni aec o h rject hNEDo
the approach to project implementaticn Specifically while both agree on
(a) the project objective of building up institutional capacities for the
analysis of and subsequent decision-making on key development issues and
(b) on the conduct of research undertakings (including conferences and fora)
to bring this about they dsagree on tne matter of payment for those involved
in the conduct of such research undertakings reflecting a difference in
approach to the at ainment o1 the project s objective
Tile USAID lissions exoectation was that the object-ive would be approached
by focusins goverment personnel attention on particular issues within the
context of their normal functions and thus without additional compensation as
well as by opening up the policy formulation process to a broad spectrum of
participants from outside government thereby enriching the process itself and
the policy recommendations that subsequently emanate from it The outputs
being d dist-illation of hopefully some of the best minds in (and as
necessary out of the country policy-makers ould be better-equipped for
decision-makinQ on zritical issues This would be supplemented by funding
provisions for training in issue-related fields From the foregoing the
Mission lxpectationthat government personnelwas would be actively involved
in te project without extra compensation so that much if not most of the
funds for non-training Development Issue Component activities would be paid
out to non-governmental institutions

B Communication Problems
The fact that the projects principal problems are rooted in basic
interpretational differences would seem to indicate problems in the
communication process between the USAID Mission and the Philippine Government
throuch its implementing agency the NEDA concerning the project indeed
for various reasons this appears to have been the case from the design stage
to at least the early stages of project implementation
1 Project design stage
Because of pressures brought on by approaching US budgetary deadlines in
mid-1983 there was little opportunity for any extensive discussion between
the ilission and the INEDA on the Project Paper which was prepared by the
Mission Staff Indications of the basic differences in expectations with
respect to the approach to project implementation thus began to surface only
in the course of implementation itself as the TDI-PMO based at NEDA began to
endorse for the Missions clearanceapproval specific proposals to use project
funds for non-training activities including equipment procurement
On this particular issue it may be pointed out that the language of the
Project Pap-- was by no means unequivocal in thie discussion of Submission
of Issue Proposals and Selection of issue Activities paragraphs 1 and 2 of
p 11 state that
A wide variety of organizations are expected to submit proposals and
thus be eligible for implementing ac-ivities These include (a) units
within NEDA (b)GOP agencies (c) Local governments (d)Government

TWo soecific situations contributed to the insufficiency of
communia-ions rirstly the NJEDA TDI-Project -lanagement and the USAID
Ilission differed on the particular issue of USAID representation in the
Project Steering Committee The Mission had expected to be an ex-officio
member of the Committee the TDI-Project Managements position on the other
hand vias that since the USAIDs role in the Steering Committee as specified
in the Project Agreement was advisory USAID participation in Steering
Committee meetinQs would be strictly on a need basis
Secondly neither the USAID nor more importantly even the NEDA TDI-PM1O
was devoting much time to the project
For example Project Impl ementation Letters setting out pertinent USAID
implementing guidelines and procedures were not issued early on The only
issuance of this nature (PIL NJo 3) came in January 1985 seventeen (17)
months after signing of the Project Agreement setting out the mechanism for
financing the Develoomen- Tssues Component (This represents a sharp contrast
to the Economic and Social Impact Analysis-Women in Development (ESIA-WID)
project in which within a little over three (3)months of the date of signing
of the Project Agreement at least five (5) PILs had been issued setting out
among other things criteria for satisfactory compliance with conditions
precedent guidelines for contracting and exemptions thereto and procedures
and documentation for requesting and liquidating AID Peso advances) Perhaps
this was due to USAID presumpions as to the extent of the project personnels
awareness of USAID rules and procedures

devel opment
0 Implementation Procedures
Following from the USAID premise of the broadest possible participation in
the policy formulation process the implementation procedures set out in the
Project Paper envisioned extensive use of seminars and conferences (about 30
to 40) in the entire course of project implementation from issue selection to
the presenta-ion of research findings and recommendations These procedures
were adopted in the implementation Plan of the DeveloDMnt issues Component
in the implementation o- zite project to-date however only one such
workshop-conFerence- has been nel d and this in October more tiian1985 two
years from the daze of signing of tne Project Agreemnt The purpose of this
workshop attended by representatives of various research institutions was to
publicize generate interest in and hopefully speed up research formulation
under the Development Issues Component of TDI
Significantly post-orkshop response to the project has been encouraging
wit~is aditionalproposals having already been received on topics in the
Research Agenca as ail as -n others related to it Still others are
currently under preparation From clnis standpoint much improvement may be
expected in the pace of mpement3ation of at least the research element of the
5Development -ssues Component within the coming monthsshy
5 The Steering Committee was scheduled to meet on 14 July 1986 at which approval of research proposals 4ith a total cost of just under $200000 is expected

Coincidentally thirty-four j34) have been in long-term (one-year or more)
pr rams and twenty-five (25) in shorter programs
Based on the foregoing the training component of the TDI Project has to
date been proceeding by and large on schedule This notwithstanding however
it needs to be asked whether the component (including the training element of
the Development issues Component) has been operating in a manner consistent
with the training objectives of the project
B Objectives of Training Activities
As designed the training component of the TDI project was not only to
build upon but to improve on the General Participant Training (GPT) Program of
the 1970s Specifically whiie the GPT Program was observed to have lacked
focus on particular development issues or on specific human resource and
institutional development objectives that thereby limited its overall impact
training activities under the TDI project would support the institutional
objectives of requesting organizations contribute to improving manpower
skills critical to national and regional development and enhance capacities
related to the issues selected under the Development issues Component
Towards this end a survey of training needs of socio-economic
development-related government institutions was undertaken in the early stages
of the project On the basis of criteria approved by the project Steering
Committee survey responses were analyzed to come up with a prioritization of
agencies and of fields of study for funding under the projectshy

D Areas for gtnorovein
The foregoing general observations notwi thstanding however there are
definite areas for improvement in the operation and implementation of training
activities
o e-n viith the priorit zation scheme adopted while useful in guiding
the evaluation of specific requests fo training assistance leaves too much
room for flexibility in decision-making While the need for and the value of
flexibility in a program of this nature recognized too much it couldis of
easily lead to distortions in Program results That this has tended to be the
case is evident from the folloino
a) The predominance of gtEDA itself as recipient institution of the
training grants Of the fifty-nine (59) slots that had been made
available twen-y-two 2) or more thian a thi -d went to IEDA official s
and employees Relative to the slots that went to institutions in the
first priority list (43) the proportion is even higher at slightly
over half While a large proportion of project training funds going
to NEDA staff may be justifiable in terms of the institutions central
role in Philippine development plannin and policy-formulation such a
high proportion of resources going to a single agency is rather
excessive
b) Relatedly the predominance of fields of a general development nature
ie Economics Planning IMlanagement and Public Acimnistration and
Statistics in the fields of training supported under the project
These acounted for forty-four (44) of the fifty nne (59) slots
Again whlle the value of a broad perspective in policy-formulation is
recognized threo-fourtihs of the training allocation going into thi3
19shy
type of general zraining wou d seem to unduly undervalue tiie ieed for
more specza~ized types of poli cy anal vsis called for in many areas of
Phiippine development T is of course Dossble that these needs are
already being addressed tirou-gh projects other than the underone
consideration if so then - e present ellocation under the TDI
Project may well be jusified Unfortunately time constraints have
7 no- enabled -i-oser nvesiation of this mattershy
c) Funding of pr-grans in Law and Justice which though related to
socio economic development policy formulation is at best only
distantly so ParLicipation for instance in programs on American amp
internat-ional a as well as -n the US Legal System by members of
the Regional Trial Courts is to say the least difficult to justify
under tiis project However support towards laster s degrees in
Engineering of which rhere are two probably is justifiable as these
may be classified among the manpower skills critical to national and
regional development
d) Relative imbalance in the distribution of training slots between
participants from central offices and those from the regions Of the
fifty-nine (59) slots made available less than ten have gone to participants from the reg-onai offices Considering the thrust of the
present government towards genuine regionalzation including NEDAs
own interests improvements in this regard are especially called for
For instance the nei government is strengthening the role of the
Regional Development Council- and therefore these may be additional
training needs
_ According to the Hanager of the Participant Training Component this was in fact the case
The seconc road a-ea for improvemert is in monit-ori ng The establ i shment
of a sstem for monitoring of zrain n oarticioants both during and more
importantly after traind1n Was envsioned in thne project design The first
batch or tra nees iho went through one year programs in SY 1934 have been back
on the job for a ear and tiose wiho underwenr shorter programs have been back
for a longe period To cate hovever no back to office monitoring has been
undertken rendr in- di-ficut the assssent of traininc imDact relative to
obj ectives
E Usefulness of Training
Towards this end however limited interviews of immediate supervisors of
returned trai nees wiere carried out in this evaluation to obtain some feel for
the usefulness o1 training to the sponsoring institutions
in general the assessment of training impact has been very positive with
significant improvements observed in the overall depth and breadth of
analytical outputs of returned trainees in one instance however even
before the outset of tne training program the participant was transferred to
another unit to which immediate applicabilit of the training eventua1y
received was minimal thoh nonethelss potentially useful
On the transfer of knowledgeskills acquired to other personnel of the
sponsoring Insitutions the general approach has been through informal
discussions on the j o
- 21 -
V PRQ ECT SGJ I IT AND OUTLOOK
Implementation problems notwithstanding current evidence supports the
continued usefulness off the project towards the objective of building up
institutional capacities for policy analysis and decision-making in the
PhiliPPine bureaucracy The Tax Administration and Compliance Study for
instance thouqh still in the process of finalization has already contributed
siqnificant inputs to the recent formulation of a new Tax Reform Package
Outputs of the on-going research on Sectoral Classification of Trade and
Inve ment Data are already being programmed for use in the current drafting
of the Philippine Development Plan for 1987-1992 Limited interviews have
also established the positive contributions of training supported under the
project in terms of improved overall quality of analytical work of returned
trainees
The potential impact of the project is further considerably enhanced by
the fact of a new government which is seriously engaged in a broad-ranging
effort to review and as needed recast the whole gamut of policies
structures and procedures that intimately affect both the current and the
future life of the nation
In terms of project operations recent developments augur well for
improvements not only in the pace of project implementation but also in terms
of broadening the projects overall impact In the case of the Development
Issues Component mention has already been made of positive expectations
resultina from the workshop on the Research Agenda conducted in late 1935
Significantly because of the materially improved response that resulted from
thc workshop the TDI-PMO has decided to convene similar workshops on a
regular basis possibly twice a year

unlikely the full ip1ementation of The project within the current PACD
Furthermore the Pr o- ed mod ficiDns in the operating scheme of the
training component ioulc also take some time to work out Accordingly the
7oTDI-P1O is exoected put forard to USAID a request for a two-year extension
of the current PASD f the project is extended then there will be need for
another evaiua-ion in two years
VI RECOMME IDATI OS
in light of all of the foregoing the following recommendations are herein
made with respect to the TDI project
1 The project should continue and the PACD extended by two years to
December 1990
2 Should the Precedinig reccmmendation be approved another evaluation of
the project should be schedule- in thc first half of 1988
3 To contribute to the easing of the countrys debt servicing
difficulties and in consideration of the diffused social benefits of the
project the entire unearmarked loan allocation to the project should be
converted to outright grant
4 To enhance smooth and timely implementation of the project as a whole
and in particular of the non-training elements of the Development issues
Component a clear resolution of the issues that have herein been identified
as having largely held back proect progress should be made and agreements
reached should be clearly set out in project implementation letters
Critical items in this regard are the whole apProach to project
implementation and the related question of compensation for government
personnel and the issue of USAID membership in the Project Steering

7 For reasons that have already been indicated elsewhere in this
report at of part ofleast the management the procedures of the Development
Issues component (which now excludes training) should be transferred or
subcontracted to the Philippine Institute for Development Studies (PIDS) which
has consideraile experience with managing research and working with USAID
8 To improve the implementation of the development issues component
(a) The Steering Committee especially in light of the priorities of
the new GOP administration should focus and prioritize the Agenda of Areas of
Research This should be done with the intent of selecting only a limited
number of development issues in order to concentrate efforts involve more
institutions in the same topic and culminate through a series of activities
in concrete policy recommendations
(b) TDI-PI0 should implement present plans for more frequent workshops
and advertisements to solicit research proposals and to broaden participation
(c) In addition high level NEDA officials should continue to endeavor
to involve directly other ministers and deputy ministers in the selection of
development issue topics research assignments and discussions of results
NEDA should continue to make readily available TDI resources to other
ministries
(d) The regular selection process should be made simpler and quicker
through such steps as greater discretionary power to the NEDA-TDI Project
Manager to approve proposals on already cleared topics without further
approval of the Steering Committee or USAIO up to a limit of say $15000
per proposal
(e) An alternative formechanism selecting consultants should be
designed to meet immediate short-term needs The NEDA-TDI project manager
should have greater authority to initiate on his own within topic guidelines
approved by the Steering Committee and USAID consultancy contracts This
authority snould be limited both as to amount of any individual contract say
$15000 and to the total amount of all such contracts for the year say
$100000
9 The Evaluation Team endorses the TDI-PMO proposals for improving the
overall effectiveness and impact of training activities Specifically
(a)A more detailed training plan for the balance of the project
duration should be prepared based on an updated assessment of institutional
training needs The team feels that in this assessment special attention
should be given to the needs of regional offices Further while maximum
adherence to the formulated plan is desirable provision for some degree of
flexibility should also be allowed to enable the project to respond to
unforeseen but urgent training requirements that may arise in the course of
implemfentation For this purpose ten (10) per cent of the uncommitted
balance of the training allocation could remain unprogrammed and availed of
largely on a need basis
(b) Institutional participation in the training component should be
broadened not so much however by increasing the number of participating
institutions (although possibly that too) but more through the provision of
proportionately more slots to institutions that have been determined to rank
high in the institutional prioritization scheme
(c) Participation from the regional levels should be increased and
perhaps even given priority
(d) Extension of funding support to training in suitable fields in
selected regional training institutions in the country should be undertaken
n this reard full consi deration should be given toi nci uding training
ororms 7 rv ate -c--nal insi tutions The proposal to explore the
devloomnt of a aster s roram in DcveloDment Economics at the UP in
Diliman is siMilarlI endorsed
10 7n add-isn to the forejoing a reassessment of the distribution of
ii-s is-ai r 1 ly t iclh general and te more
setor-soecifiPopo1 cy analysi s stud prcgrams should be unde rtaken to ensure
th t the latter type of neecs is indeed being adequately addressed through
thi-s rojett in comb na tion i - othr d or-assi sted training programs If
not tIen soe shi ftng in proportions should be effected
11 Finally to enable continuini assessment of the extent to which project ojectives for the training component are being achieved the
otng system envisaged nder the project should immediately be
establisned and activated

Title Training and Development Issues Project (492-0340) Project Start July 29 1983 PACD December 31 1983 Funding $6000000 (TOTAL)
$4500000 (AID-funded) $1200000 (Grant) $3300000 (Loan) $1500000 (GOP)
Purpose The purpose of the project is to improve the capability of Philippine Government and other institutions to analyze development issues and to make sound and timely development-related decisions
Current Status The above-mentioned purpose is pursued through the implementation of two project components namely (1)Participant Training Component and (2) Development Issues Comoonent As of 31 December 1985 a total of 29 overseas and 15 local training participants nave been supported by the Participant Training Component Meanwhile the Development Issues Component has directed efforts toward the development of the technical base for effective policy analysis Through the conduct of three researches under the broad develoPment issues identified for project attention preparation of concept papers on development planningand policy issues and provision of support for 4 overseas the same
and 34 local training participants As of date the Participant Training Component has
obligated 609 p-r cent of the total loan appropriation it has received so far and 967 per cent of its total grant budget The Developmeit Issues Component on the other hand has obligated 437 per cent of the total loan appropriations and 164 per cent of its total grant budget
I PURPOSE AND TIING OF THE EVALUATION
This evaluation will assess the progress of the implementation of the TDI Project and make reccmmendations for maximizing the projects impact on the development efforts of the Aquino Government It will identify the successful project activities and attempt to explain the advantages these have over ess successful activities It plans to investigate the problems and issues which appear to have hampered or delayedimplementation of the less successful and to determine mechanisms to avoid or resolve them The evaluation also will identiFy and assess new approaches for using project resources to achieve project objectives
More soecifically it will focus on five general areas
a the current status of project implementationb exIec7ations and Perceptions of TDI project by NEDA and USAID and c factors affecting project implementation d selection of DI componenT issues and Training component participants
and e opportunities and mechanisms for improving the project
As scheduled in the project paper the first evaluation will be conducted in FY 86
Based on tne findings the evaluation should recommend whether basicchannes in theproject design and implementation Procedures are necessary The recommendatiors should indicate the advantages and disadvantages of the design and procedural changes advocated
III QUESTIONS FOR THE EVALUATION TEAM
A Current Status

IV TEAM COMIPOSITION
The evaluation team must exhibit a thorough understanding of the following subject areas
1 Operations of the GOP specifically of NEDA and OEM2 Philippine develoDment issues and how these relate to policies3 IMechanics of Ai0 and USAIDPhilippines and4 The nature of the relationshio between USAID and N-DA5 The develooment priorities and opportunities of the Aquino government
The teams comPosition should represent expertise in the fields of organizational planning and management policy-making evaluation and management of research and training activities Given the sensitivities surrounding this project and the importance of this evaluation the teamshould not only be experts in the subject areas above they should also bewell known and respected by both INEDA and AID A team is expected to becomposed of a mix of Philippine and US consulrants or MissionAIDWashington personnel
The team will not have to collect and analyze a great deal of information because there have been very few implementation actions to date Thus asmall team of perhaps three or maybe four highly qualified persons should be sufficient

A Diveraence ofZiews on ADproach to Project imlementation
The slow start of the non-training elements of the Development Issues
Component of the TDI Project and its relatively slow progress to-date is
reflective of a fundamental divergence of views between the USAID Mission and the PhiliDDine Governmen implementin aqency for the proh EDA on~ _mni aec o h rject hNEDo
the approach to project implementaticn Specifically while both agree on
(a) the project objective of building up institutional capacities for the
analysis of and subsequent decision-making on key development issues and
(b) on the conduct of research undertakings (including conferences and fora)
to bring this about they dsagree on tne matter of payment for those involved
in the conduct of such research undertakings reflecting a difference in
approach to the at ainment o1 the project s objective
Tile USAID lissions exoectation was that the object-ive would be approached
by focusins goverment personnel attention on particular issues within the
context of their normal functions and thus without additional compensation as
well as by opening up the policy formulation process to a broad spectrum of
participants from outside government thereby enriching the process itself and
the policy recommendations that subsequently emanate from it The outputs
being d dist-illation of hopefully some of the best minds in (and as
necessary out of the country policy-makers ould be better-equipped for
decision-makinQ on zritical issues This would be supplemented by funding
provisions for training in issue-related fields From the foregoing the
Mission lxpectationthat government personnelwas would be actively involved
in te project without extra compensation so that much if not most of the
funds for non-training Development Issue Component activities would be paid
out to non-governmental institutions

B Communication Problems
The fact that the projects principal problems are rooted in basic
interpretational differences would seem to indicate problems in the
communication process between the USAID Mission and the Philippine Government
throuch its implementing agency the NEDA concerning the project indeed
for various reasons this appears to have been the case from the design stage
to at least the early stages of project implementation
1 Project design stage
Because of pressures brought on by approaching US budgetary deadlines in
mid-1983 there was little opportunity for any extensive discussion between
the ilission and the INEDA on the Project Paper which was prepared by the
Mission Staff Indications of the basic differences in expectations with
respect to the approach to project implementation thus began to surface only
in the course of implementation itself as the TDI-PMO based at NEDA began to
endorse for the Missions clearanceapproval specific proposals to use project
funds for non-training activities including equipment procurement
On this particular issue it may be pointed out that the language of the
Project Pap-- was by no means unequivocal in thie discussion of Submission
of Issue Proposals and Selection of issue Activities paragraphs 1 and 2 of
p 11 state that
A wide variety of organizations are expected to submit proposals and
thus be eligible for implementing ac-ivities These include (a) units
within NEDA (b)GOP agencies (c) Local governments (d)Government

TWo soecific situations contributed to the insufficiency of
communia-ions rirstly the NJEDA TDI-Project -lanagement and the USAID
Ilission differed on the particular issue of USAID representation in the
Project Steering Committee The Mission had expected to be an ex-officio
member of the Committee the TDI-Project Managements position on the other
hand vias that since the USAIDs role in the Steering Committee as specified
in the Project Agreement was advisory USAID participation in Steering
Committee meetinQs would be strictly on a need basis
Secondly neither the USAID nor more importantly even the NEDA TDI-PM1O
was devoting much time to the project
For example Project Impl ementation Letters setting out pertinent USAID
implementing guidelines and procedures were not issued early on The only
issuance of this nature (PIL NJo 3) came in January 1985 seventeen (17)
months after signing of the Project Agreement setting out the mechanism for
financing the Develoomen- Tssues Component (This represents a sharp contrast
to the Economic and Social Impact Analysis-Women in Development (ESIA-WID)
project in which within a little over three (3)months of the date of signing
of the Project Agreement at least five (5) PILs had been issued setting out
among other things criteria for satisfactory compliance with conditions
precedent guidelines for contracting and exemptions thereto and procedures
and documentation for requesting and liquidating AID Peso advances) Perhaps
this was due to USAID presumpions as to the extent of the project personnels
awareness of USAID rules and procedures

0 Implementation Procedures
Following from the USAID premise of the broadest possible participation in
the policy formulation process the implementation procedures set out in the
Project Paper envisioned extensive use of seminars and conferences (about 30
to 40) in the entire course of project implementation from issue selection to
the presenta-ion of research findings and recommendations These procedures
were adopted in the implementation Plan of the DeveloDMnt issues Component
in the implementation o- zite project to-date however only one such
workshop-conFerence- has been nel d and this in October more tiian1985 two
years from the daze of signing of tne Project Agreemnt The purpose of this
workshop attended by representatives of various research institutions was to
publicize generate interest in and hopefully speed up research formulation
under the Development Issues Component of TDI
Significantly post-orkshop response to the project has been encouraging
wit~is aditionalproposals having already been received on topics in the
Research Agenca as ail as -n others related to it Still others are
currently under preparation From clnis standpoint much improvement may be
expected in the pace of mpement3ation of at least the research element of the
5Development -ssues Component within the coming monthsshy
5 The Steering Committee was scheduled to meet on 14 July 1986 at which approval of research proposals 4ith a total cost of just under $200000 is expected

Coincidentally thirty-four j34) have been in long-term (one-year or more)
pr rams and twenty-five (25) in shorter programs
Based on the foregoing the training component of the TDI Project has to
date been proceeding by and large on schedule This notwithstanding however
it needs to be asked whether the component (including the training element of
the Development issues Component) has been operating in a manner consistent
with the training objectives of the project
B Objectives of Training Activities
As designed the training component of the TDI project was not only to
build upon but to improve on the General Participant Training (GPT) Program of
the 1970s Specifically whiie the GPT Program was observed to have lacked
focus on particular development issues or on specific human resource and
institutional development objectives that thereby limited its overall impact
training activities under the TDI project would support the institutional
objectives of requesting organizations contribute to improving manpower
skills critical to national and regional development and enhance capacities
related to the issues selected under the Development issues Component
Towards this end a survey of training needs of socio-economic
development-related government institutions was undertaken in the early stages
of the project On the basis of criteria approved by the project Steering
Committee survey responses were analyzed to come up with a prioritization of
agencies and of fields of study for funding under the projectshy

D Areas for gtnorovein
The foregoing general observations notwi thstanding however there are
definite areas for improvement in the operation and implementation of training
activities
o e-n viith the priorit zation scheme adopted while useful in guiding
the evaluation of specific requests fo training assistance leaves too much
room for flexibility in decision-making While the need for and the value of
flexibility in a program of this nature recognized too much it couldis of
easily lead to distortions in Program results That this has tended to be the
case is evident from the folloino
a) The predominance of gtEDA itself as recipient institution of the
training grants Of the fifty-nine (59) slots that had been made
available twen-y-two 2) or more thian a thi -d went to IEDA official s
and employees Relative to the slots that went to institutions in the
first priority list (43) the proportion is even higher at slightly
over half While a large proportion of project training funds going
to NEDA staff may be justifiable in terms of the institutions central
role in Philippine development plannin and policy-formulation such a
high proportion of resources going to a single agency is rather
excessive
b) Relatedly the predominance of fields of a general development nature
ie Economics Planning IMlanagement and Public Acimnistration and
Statistics in the fields of training supported under the project
These acounted for forty-four (44) of the fifty nne (59) slots
Again whlle the value of a broad perspective in policy-formulation is
recognized threo-fourtihs of the training allocation going into thi3
19shy
type of general zraining wou d seem to unduly undervalue tiie ieed for
more specza~ized types of poli cy anal vsis called for in many areas of
Phiippine development T is of course Dossble that these needs are
already being addressed tirou-gh projects other than the underone
consideration if so then - e present ellocation under the TDI
Project may well be jusified Unfortunately time constraints have
7 no- enabled -i-oser nvesiation of this mattershy
c) Funding of pr-grans in Law and Justice which though related to
socio economic development policy formulation is at best only
distantly so ParLicipation for instance in programs on American amp
internat-ional a as well as -n the US Legal System by members of
the Regional Trial Courts is to say the least difficult to justify
under tiis project However support towards laster s degrees in
Engineering of which rhere are two probably is justifiable as these
may be classified among the manpower skills critical to national and
regional development
d) Relative imbalance in the distribution of training slots between
participants from central offices and those from the regions Of the
fifty-nine (59) slots made available less than ten have gone to participants from the reg-onai offices Considering the thrust of the
present government towards genuine regionalzation including NEDAs
own interests improvements in this regard are especially called for
For instance the nei government is strengthening the role of the
Regional Development Council- and therefore these may be additional
training needs
_ According to the Hanager of the Participant Training Component this was in fact the case
The seconc road a-ea for improvemert is in monit-ori ng The establ i shment
of a sstem for monitoring of zrain n oarticioants both during and more
importantly after traind1n Was envsioned in thne project design The first
batch or tra nees iho went through one year programs in SY 1934 have been back
on the job for a ear and tiose wiho underwenr shorter programs have been back
for a longe period To cate hovever no back to office monitoring has been
undertken rendr in- di-ficut the assssent of traininc imDact relative to
obj ectives
E Usefulness of Training
Towards this end however limited interviews of immediate supervisors of
returned trai nees wiere carried out in this evaluation to obtain some feel for
the usefulness o1 training to the sponsoring institutions
in general the assessment of training impact has been very positive with
significant improvements observed in the overall depth and breadth of
analytical outputs of returned trainees in one instance however even
before the outset of tne training program the participant was transferred to
another unit to which immediate applicabilit of the training eventua1y
received was minimal thoh nonethelss potentially useful
On the transfer of knowledgeskills acquired to other personnel of the
sponsoring Insitutions the general approach has been through informal
discussions on the j o
- 21 -
V PRQ ECT SGJ I IT AND OUTLOOK
Implementation problems notwithstanding current evidence supports the
continued usefulness off the project towards the objective of building up
institutional capacities for policy analysis and decision-making in the
PhiliPPine bureaucracy The Tax Administration and Compliance Study for
instance thouqh still in the process of finalization has already contributed
siqnificant inputs to the recent formulation of a new Tax Reform Package
Outputs of the on-going research on Sectoral Classification of Trade and
Inve ment Data are already being programmed for use in the current drafting
of the Philippine Development Plan for 1987-1992 Limited interviews have
also established the positive contributions of training supported under the
project in terms of improved overall quality of analytical work of returned
trainees
The potential impact of the project is further considerably enhanced by
the fact of a new government which is seriously engaged in a broad-ranging
effort to review and as needed recast the whole gamut of policies
structures and procedures that intimately affect both the current and the
future life of the nation
In terms of project operations recent developments augur well for
improvements not only in the pace of project implementation but also in terms
of broadening the projects overall impact In the case of the Development
Issues Component mention has already been made of positive expectations
resultina from the workshop on the Research Agenda conducted in late 1935
Significantly because of the materially improved response that resulted from
thc workshop the TDI-PMO has decided to convene similar workshops on a
regular basis possibly twice a year

unlikely the full ip1ementation of The project within the current PACD
Furthermore the Pr o- ed mod ficiDns in the operating scheme of the
training component ioulc also take some time to work out Accordingly the
7oTDI-P1O is exoected put forard to USAID a request for a two-year extension
of the current PASD f the project is extended then there will be need for
another evaiua-ion in two years
VI RECOMME IDATI OS
in light of all of the foregoing the following recommendations are herein
made with respect to the TDI project
1 The project should continue and the PACD extended by two years to
December 1990
2 Should the Precedinig reccmmendation be approved another evaluation of
the project should be schedule- in thc first half of 1988
3 To contribute to the easing of the countrys debt servicing
difficulties and in consideration of the diffused social benefits of the
project the entire unearmarked loan allocation to the project should be
converted to outright grant
4 To enhance smooth and timely implementation of the project as a whole
and in particular of the non-training elements of the Development issues
Component a clear resolution of the issues that have herein been identified
as having largely held back proect progress should be made and agreements
reached should be clearly set out in project implementation letters
Critical items in this regard are the whole apProach to project
implementation and the related question of compensation for government
personnel and the issue of USAID membership in the Project Steering

7 For reasons that have already been indicated elsewhere in this
report at of part ofleast the management the procedures of the Development
Issues component (which now excludes training) should be transferred or
subcontracted to the Philippine Institute for Development Studies (PIDS) which
has consideraile experience with managing research and working with USAID
8 To improve the implementation of the development issues component
(a) The Steering Committee especially in light of the priorities of
the new GOP administration should focus and prioritize the Agenda of Areas of
Research This should be done with the intent of selecting only a limited
number of development issues in order to concentrate efforts involve more
institutions in the same topic and culminate through a series of activities
in concrete policy recommendations
(b) TDI-PI0 should implement present plans for more frequent workshops
and advertisements to solicit research proposals and to broaden participation
(c) In addition high level NEDA officials should continue to endeavor
to involve directly other ministers and deputy ministers in the selection of
development issue topics research assignments and discussions of results
NEDA should continue to make readily available TDI resources to other
ministries
(d) The regular selection process should be made simpler and quicker
through such steps as greater discretionary power to the NEDA-TDI Project
Manager to approve proposals on already cleared topics without further
approval of the Steering Committee or USAIO up to a limit of say $15000
per proposal
(e) An alternative formechanism selecting consultants should be
designed to meet immediate short-term needs The NEDA-TDI project manager
should have greater authority to initiate on his own within topic guidelines
approved by the Steering Committee and USAID consultancy contracts This
authority snould be limited both as to amount of any individual contract say
$15000 and to the total amount of all such contracts for the year say
$100000
9 The Evaluation Team endorses the TDI-PMO proposals for improving the
overall effectiveness and impact of training activities Specifically
(a)A more detailed training plan for the balance of the project
duration should be prepared based on an updated assessment of institutional
training needs The team feels that in this assessment special attention
should be given to the needs of regional offices Further while maximum
adherence to the formulated plan is desirable provision for some degree of
flexibility should also be allowed to enable the project to respond to
unforeseen but urgent training requirements that may arise in the course of
implemfentation For this purpose ten (10) per cent of the uncommitted
balance of the training allocation could remain unprogrammed and availed of
largely on a need basis
(b) Institutional participation in the training component should be
broadened not so much however by increasing the number of participating
institutions (although possibly that too) but more through the provision of
proportionately more slots to institutions that have been determined to rank
high in the institutional prioritization scheme
(c) Participation from the regional levels should be increased and
perhaps even given priority
(d) Extension of funding support to training in suitable fields in
selected regional training institutions in the country should be undertaken
n this reard full consi deration should be given toi nci uding training
ororms 7 rv ate -c--nal insi tutions The proposal to explore the
devloomnt of a aster s roram in DcveloDment Economics at the UP in
Diliman is siMilarlI endorsed
10 7n add-isn to the forejoing a reassessment of the distribution of
ii-s is-ai r 1 ly t iclh general and te more
setor-soecifiPopo1 cy analysi s stud prcgrams should be unde rtaken to ensure
th t the latter type of neecs is indeed being adequately addressed through
thi-s rojett in comb na tion i - othr d or-assi sted training programs If
not tIen soe shi ftng in proportions should be effected
11 Finally to enable continuini assessment of the extent to which project ojectives for the training component are being achieved the
otng system envisaged nder the project should immediately be
establisned and activated

TRAINING AiND DEVELOPENT ISSUES PROJECT EVALUATION SCOPE OF CRK FOR EVAUTION
I THE PROJECT
Title Training and Development Issues Project (492-0340) Project Start July 29 1983 PACD December 31 1983 Funding $6000000 (TOTAL)
$4500000 (AID-funded) $1200000 (Grant) $3300000 (Loan) $1500000 (GOP)
Purpose The purpose of the project is to improve the capability of Philippine Government and other institutions to analyze development issues and to make sound and timely development-related decisions
Current Status The above-mentioned purpose is pursued through the implementation of two project components namely (1)Participant Training Component and (2) Development Issues Comoonent As of 31 December 1985 a total of 29 overseas and 15 local training participants nave been supported by the Participant Training Component Meanwhile the Development Issues Component has directed efforts toward the development of the technical base for effective policy analysis Through the conduct of three researches under the broad develoPment issues identified for project attention preparation of concept papers on development planningand policy issues and provision of support for 4 overseas the same
and 34 local training participants As of date the Participant Training Component has
obligated 609 p-r cent of the total loan appropriation it has received so far and 967 per cent of its total grant budget The Developmeit Issues Component on the other hand has obligated 437 per cent of the total loan appropriations and 164 per cent of its total grant budget
I PURPOSE AND TIING OF THE EVALUATION
This evaluation will assess the progress of the implementation of the TDI Project and make reccmmendations for maximizing the projects impact on the development efforts of the Aquino Government It will identify the successful project activities and attempt to explain the advantages these have over ess successful activities It plans to investigate the problems and issues which appear to have hampered or delayedimplementation of the less successful and to determine mechanisms to avoid or resolve them The evaluation also will identiFy and assess new approaches for using project resources to achieve project objectives
More soecifically it will focus on five general areas
a the current status of project implementationb exIec7ations and Perceptions of TDI project by NEDA and USAID and c factors affecting project implementation d selection of DI componenT issues and Training component participants
and e opportunities and mechanisms for improving the project
As scheduled in the project paper the first evaluation will be conducted in FY 86
Based on tne findings the evaluation should recommend whether basicchannes in theproject design and implementation Procedures are necessary The recommendatiors should indicate the advantages and disadvantages of the design and procedural changes advocated
III QUESTIONS FOR THE EVALUATION TEAM

IV TEAM COMIPOSITION
The evaluation team must exhibit a thorough understanding of the following subject areas
1 Operations of the GOP specifically of NEDA and OEM2 Philippine develoDment issues and how these relate to policies3 IMechanics of Ai0 and USAIDPhilippines and4 The nature of the relationshio between USAID and N-DA5 The develooment priorities and opportunities of the Aquino government
The teams comPosition should represent expertise in the fields of organizational planning and management policy-making evaluation and management of research and training activities Given the sensitivities surrounding this project and the importance of this evaluation the teamshould not only be experts in the subject areas above they should also bewell known and respected by both INEDA and AID A team is expected to becomposed of a mix of Philippine and US consulrants or MissionAIDWashington personnel
The team will not have to collect and analyze a great deal of information because there have been very few implementation actions to date Thus asmall team of perhaps three or maybe four highly qualified persons should be sufficient

A Diveraence ofZiews on ADproach to Project imlementation
The slow start of the non-training elements of the Development Issues
Component of the TDI Project and its relatively slow progress to-date is
reflective of a fundamental divergence of views between the USAID Mission and the PhiliDDine Governmen implementin aqency for the proh EDA on~ _mni aec o h rject hNEDo
the approach to project implementaticn Specifically while both agree on
(a) the project objective of building up institutional capacities for the
analysis of and subsequent decision-making on key development issues and
(b) on the conduct of research undertakings (including conferences and fora)
to bring this about they dsagree on tne matter of payment for those involved
in the conduct of such research undertakings reflecting a difference in
approach to the at ainment o1 the project s objective
Tile USAID lissions exoectation was that the object-ive would be approached
by focusins goverment personnel attention on particular issues within the
context of their normal functions and thus without additional compensation as
well as by opening up the policy formulation process to a broad spectrum of
participants from outside government thereby enriching the process itself and
the policy recommendations that subsequently emanate from it The outputs
being d dist-illation of hopefully some of the best minds in (and as
necessary out of the country policy-makers ould be better-equipped for
decision-makinQ on zritical issues This would be supplemented by funding
provisions for training in issue-related fields From the foregoing the
Mission lxpectationthat government personnelwas would be actively involved
in te project without extra compensation so that much if not most of the
funds for non-training Development Issue Component activities would be paid
out to non-governmental institutions

B Communication Problems
The fact that the projects principal problems are rooted in basic
interpretational differences would seem to indicate problems in the
communication process between the USAID Mission and the Philippine Government
throuch its implementing agency the NEDA concerning the project indeed
for various reasons this appears to have been the case from the design stage
to at least the early stages of project implementation
1 Project design stage
Because of pressures brought on by approaching US budgetary deadlines in
mid-1983 there was little opportunity for any extensive discussion between
the ilission and the INEDA on the Project Paper which was prepared by the
Mission Staff Indications of the basic differences in expectations with
respect to the approach to project implementation thus began to surface only
in the course of implementation itself as the TDI-PMO based at NEDA began to
endorse for the Missions clearanceapproval specific proposals to use project
funds for non-training activities including equipment procurement
On this particular issue it may be pointed out that the language of the
Project Pap-- was by no means unequivocal in thie discussion of Submission
of Issue Proposals and Selection of issue Activities paragraphs 1 and 2 of
p 11 state that
A wide variety of organizations are expected to submit proposals and
thus be eligible for implementing ac-ivities These include (a) units
within NEDA (b)GOP agencies (c) Local governments (d)Government

TWo soecific situations contributed to the insufficiency of
communia-ions rirstly the NJEDA TDI-Project -lanagement and the USAID
Ilission differed on the particular issue of USAID representation in the
Project Steering Committee The Mission had expected to be an ex-officio
member of the Committee the TDI-Project Managements position on the other
hand vias that since the USAIDs role in the Steering Committee as specified
in the Project Agreement was advisory USAID participation in Steering
Committee meetinQs would be strictly on a need basis
Secondly neither the USAID nor more importantly even the NEDA TDI-PM1O
was devoting much time to the project
For example Project Impl ementation Letters setting out pertinent USAID
implementing guidelines and procedures were not issued early on The only
issuance of this nature (PIL NJo 3) came in January 1985 seventeen (17)
months after signing of the Project Agreement setting out the mechanism for
financing the Develoomen- Tssues Component (This represents a sharp contrast
to the Economic and Social Impact Analysis-Women in Development (ESIA-WID)
project in which within a little over three (3)months of the date of signing
of the Project Agreement at least five (5) PILs had been issued setting out
among other things criteria for satisfactory compliance with conditions
precedent guidelines for contracting and exemptions thereto and procedures
and documentation for requesting and liquidating AID Peso advances) Perhaps
this was due to USAID presumpions as to the extent of the project personnels
awareness of USAID rules and procedures

an prioritize poi cy research issues and proposals that bear on Philippine
devel opment
0 Implementation Procedures
Following from the USAID premise of the broadest possible participation in
the policy formulation process the implementation procedures set out in the
Project Paper envisioned extensive use of seminars and conferences (about 30
to 40) in the entire course of project implementation from issue selection to
the presenta-ion of research findings and recommendations These procedures
were adopted in the implementation Plan of the DeveloDMnt issues Component
in the implementation o- zite project to-date however only one such
workshop-conFerence- has been nel d and this in October more tiian1985 two
years from the daze of signing of tne Project Agreemnt The purpose of this
workshop attended by representatives of various research institutions was to
publicize generate interest in and hopefully speed up research formulation
under the Development Issues Component of TDI
Significantly post-orkshop response to the project has been encouraging
wit~is aditionalproposals having already been received on topics in the
Research Agenca as ail as -n others related to it Still others are
currently under preparation From clnis standpoint much improvement may be
expected in the pace of mpement3ation of at least the research element of the
5Development -ssues Component within the coming monthsshy
5 The Steering Committee was scheduled to meet on 14 July 1986 at which approval of research proposals 4ith a total cost of just under $200000 is expected

Coincidentally thirty-four j34) have been in long-term (one-year or more)
pr rams and twenty-five (25) in shorter programs
Based on the foregoing the training component of the TDI Project has to
date been proceeding by and large on schedule This notwithstanding however
it needs to be asked whether the component (including the training element of
the Development issues Component) has been operating in a manner consistent
with the training objectives of the project
B Objectives of Training Activities
As designed the training component of the TDI project was not only to
build upon but to improve on the General Participant Training (GPT) Program of
the 1970s Specifically whiie the GPT Program was observed to have lacked
focus on particular development issues or on specific human resource and
institutional development objectives that thereby limited its overall impact
training activities under the TDI project would support the institutional
objectives of requesting organizations contribute to improving manpower
skills critical to national and regional development and enhance capacities
related to the issues selected under the Development issues Component
Towards this end a survey of training needs of socio-economic
development-related government institutions was undertaken in the early stages
of the project On the basis of criteria approved by the project Steering
Committee survey responses were analyzed to come up with a prioritization of
agencies and of fields of study for funding under the projectshy

D Areas for gtnorovein
The foregoing general observations notwi thstanding however there are
definite areas for improvement in the operation and implementation of training
activities
o e-n viith the priorit zation scheme adopted while useful in guiding
the evaluation of specific requests fo training assistance leaves too much
room for flexibility in decision-making While the need for and the value of
flexibility in a program of this nature recognized too much it couldis of
easily lead to distortions in Program results That this has tended to be the
case is evident from the folloino
a) The predominance of gtEDA itself as recipient institution of the
training grants Of the fifty-nine (59) slots that had been made
available twen-y-two 2) or more thian a thi -d went to IEDA official s
and employees Relative to the slots that went to institutions in the
first priority list (43) the proportion is even higher at slightly
over half While a large proportion of project training funds going
to NEDA staff may be justifiable in terms of the institutions central
role in Philippine development plannin and policy-formulation such a
high proportion of resources going to a single agency is rather
excessive
b) Relatedly the predominance of fields of a general development nature
ie Economics Planning IMlanagement and Public Acimnistration and
Statistics in the fields of training supported under the project
These acounted for forty-four (44) of the fifty nne (59) slots
Again whlle the value of a broad perspective in policy-formulation is
recognized threo-fourtihs of the training allocation going into thi3
19shy
type of general zraining wou d seem to unduly undervalue tiie ieed for
more specza~ized types of poli cy anal vsis called for in many areas of
Phiippine development T is of course Dossble that these needs are
already being addressed tirou-gh projects other than the underone
consideration if so then - e present ellocation under the TDI
Project may well be jusified Unfortunately time constraints have
7 no- enabled -i-oser nvesiation of this mattershy
c) Funding of pr-grans in Law and Justice which though related to
socio economic development policy formulation is at best only
distantly so ParLicipation for instance in programs on American amp
internat-ional a as well as -n the US Legal System by members of
the Regional Trial Courts is to say the least difficult to justify
under tiis project However support towards laster s degrees in
Engineering of which rhere are two probably is justifiable as these
may be classified among the manpower skills critical to national and
regional development
d) Relative imbalance in the distribution of training slots between
participants from central offices and those from the regions Of the
fifty-nine (59) slots made available less than ten have gone to participants from the reg-onai offices Considering the thrust of the
present government towards genuine regionalzation including NEDAs
own interests improvements in this regard are especially called for
For instance the nei government is strengthening the role of the
Regional Development Council- and therefore these may be additional
training needs
_ According to the Hanager of the Participant Training Component this was in fact the case
The seconc road a-ea for improvemert is in monit-ori ng The establ i shment
of a sstem for monitoring of zrain n oarticioants both during and more
importantly after traind1n Was envsioned in thne project design The first
batch or tra nees iho went through one year programs in SY 1934 have been back
on the job for a ear and tiose wiho underwenr shorter programs have been back
for a longe period To cate hovever no back to office monitoring has been
undertken rendr in- di-ficut the assssent of traininc imDact relative to
obj ectives
E Usefulness of Training
Towards this end however limited interviews of immediate supervisors of
returned trai nees wiere carried out in this evaluation to obtain some feel for
the usefulness o1 training to the sponsoring institutions
in general the assessment of training impact has been very positive with
significant improvements observed in the overall depth and breadth of
analytical outputs of returned trainees in one instance however even
before the outset of tne training program the participant was transferred to
another unit to which immediate applicabilit of the training eventua1y
received was minimal thoh nonethelss potentially useful
On the transfer of knowledgeskills acquired to other personnel of the
sponsoring Insitutions the general approach has been through informal
discussions on the j o
- 21 -
V PRQ ECT SGJ I IT AND OUTLOOK
Implementation problems notwithstanding current evidence supports the
continued usefulness off the project towards the objective of building up
institutional capacities for policy analysis and decision-making in the
PhiliPPine bureaucracy The Tax Administration and Compliance Study for
instance thouqh still in the process of finalization has already contributed
siqnificant inputs to the recent formulation of a new Tax Reform Package
Outputs of the on-going research on Sectoral Classification of Trade and
Inve ment Data are already being programmed for use in the current drafting
of the Philippine Development Plan for 1987-1992 Limited interviews have
also established the positive contributions of training supported under the
project in terms of improved overall quality of analytical work of returned
trainees
The potential impact of the project is further considerably enhanced by
the fact of a new government which is seriously engaged in a broad-ranging
effort to review and as needed recast the whole gamut of policies
structures and procedures that intimately affect both the current and the
future life of the nation
In terms of project operations recent developments augur well for
improvements not only in the pace of project implementation but also in terms
of broadening the projects overall impact In the case of the Development
Issues Component mention has already been made of positive expectations
resultina from the workshop on the Research Agenda conducted in late 1935
Significantly because of the materially improved response that resulted from
thc workshop the TDI-PMO has decided to convene similar workshops on a
regular basis possibly twice a year

unlikely the full ip1ementation of The project within the current PACD
Furthermore the Pr o- ed mod ficiDns in the operating scheme of the
training component ioulc also take some time to work out Accordingly the
7oTDI-P1O is exoected put forard to USAID a request for a two-year extension
of the current PASD f the project is extended then there will be need for
another evaiua-ion in two years
VI RECOMME IDATI OS
in light of all of the foregoing the following recommendations are herein
made with respect to the TDI project
1 The project should continue and the PACD extended by two years to
December 1990
2 Should the Precedinig reccmmendation be approved another evaluation of
the project should be schedule- in thc first half of 1988
3 To contribute to the easing of the countrys debt servicing
difficulties and in consideration of the diffused social benefits of the
project the entire unearmarked loan allocation to the project should be
converted to outright grant
4 To enhance smooth and timely implementation of the project as a whole
and in particular of the non-training elements of the Development issues
Component a clear resolution of the issues that have herein been identified
as having largely held back proect progress should be made and agreements
reached should be clearly set out in project implementation letters
Critical items in this regard are the whole apProach to project
implementation and the related question of compensation for government
personnel and the issue of USAID membership in the Project Steering

7 For reasons that have already been indicated elsewhere in this
report at of part ofleast the management the procedures of the Development
Issues component (which now excludes training) should be transferred or
subcontracted to the Philippine Institute for Development Studies (PIDS) which
has consideraile experience with managing research and working with USAID
8 To improve the implementation of the development issues component
(a) The Steering Committee especially in light of the priorities of
the new GOP administration should focus and prioritize the Agenda of Areas of
Research This should be done with the intent of selecting only a limited
number of development issues in order to concentrate efforts involve more
institutions in the same topic and culminate through a series of activities
in concrete policy recommendations
(b) TDI-PI0 should implement present plans for more frequent workshops
and advertisements to solicit research proposals and to broaden participation
(c) In addition high level NEDA officials should continue to endeavor
to involve directly other ministers and deputy ministers in the selection of
development issue topics research assignments and discussions of results
NEDA should continue to make readily available TDI resources to other
ministries
(d) The regular selection process should be made simpler and quicker
through such steps as greater discretionary power to the NEDA-TDI Project
Manager to approve proposals on already cleared topics without further
approval of the Steering Committee or USAIO up to a limit of say $15000
per proposal
(e) An alternative formechanism selecting consultants should be
designed to meet immediate short-term needs The NEDA-TDI project manager
should have greater authority to initiate on his own within topic guidelines
approved by the Steering Committee and USAID consultancy contracts This
authority snould be limited both as to amount of any individual contract say
$15000 and to the total amount of all such contracts for the year say
$100000
9 The Evaluation Team endorses the TDI-PMO proposals for improving the
overall effectiveness and impact of training activities Specifically
(a)A more detailed training plan for the balance of the project
duration should be prepared based on an updated assessment of institutional
training needs The team feels that in this assessment special attention
should be given to the needs of regional offices Further while maximum
adherence to the formulated plan is desirable provision for some degree of
flexibility should also be allowed to enable the project to respond to
unforeseen but urgent training requirements that may arise in the course of
implemfentation For this purpose ten (10) per cent of the uncommitted
balance of the training allocation could remain unprogrammed and availed of
largely on a need basis
(b) Institutional participation in the training component should be
broadened not so much however by increasing the number of participating
institutions (although possibly that too) but more through the provision of
proportionately more slots to institutions that have been determined to rank
high in the institutional prioritization scheme
(c) Participation from the regional levels should be increased and
perhaps even given priority
(d) Extension of funding support to training in suitable fields in
selected regional training institutions in the country should be undertaken
n this reard full consi deration should be given toi nci uding training
ororms 7 rv ate -c--nal insi tutions The proposal to explore the
devloomnt of a aster s roram in DcveloDment Economics at the UP in
Diliman is siMilarlI endorsed
10 7n add-isn to the forejoing a reassessment of the distribution of
ii-s is-ai r 1 ly t iclh general and te more
setor-soecifiPopo1 cy analysi s stud prcgrams should be unde rtaken to ensure
th t the latter type of neecs is indeed being adequately addressed through
thi-s rojett in comb na tion i - othr d or-assi sted training programs If
not tIen soe shi ftng in proportions should be effected
11 Finally to enable continuini assessment of the extent to which project ojectives for the training component are being achieved the
otng system envisaged nder the project should immediately be
establisned and activated

TRAINING AiND DEVELOPENT ISSUES PROJECT EVALUATION SCOPE OF CRK FOR EVAUTION
I THE PROJECT
Title Training and Development Issues Project (492-0340) Project Start July 29 1983 PACD December 31 1983 Funding $6000000 (TOTAL)
$4500000 (AID-funded) $1200000 (Grant) $3300000 (Loan) $1500000 (GOP)
Purpose The purpose of the project is to improve the capability of Philippine Government and other institutions to analyze development issues and to make sound and timely development-related decisions
Current Status The above-mentioned purpose is pursued through the implementation of two project components namely (1)Participant Training Component and (2) Development Issues Comoonent As of 31 December 1985 a total of 29 overseas and 15 local training participants nave been supported by the Participant Training Component Meanwhile the Development Issues Component has directed efforts toward the development of the technical base for effective policy analysis Through the conduct of three researches under the broad develoPment issues identified for project attention preparation of concept papers on development planningand policy issues and provision of support for 4 overseas the same
and 34 local training participants As of date the Participant Training Component has
obligated 609 p-r cent of the total loan appropriation it has received so far and 967 per cent of its total grant budget The Developmeit Issues Component on the other hand has obligated 437 per cent of the total loan appropriations and 164 per cent of its total grant budget
I PURPOSE AND TIING OF THE EVALUATION
This evaluation will assess the progress of the implementation of the TDI Project and make reccmmendations for maximizing the projects impact on the development efforts of the Aquino Government It will identify the successful project activities and attempt to explain the advantages these have over ess successful activities It plans to investigate the problems and issues which appear to have hampered or delayedimplementation of the less successful and to determine mechanisms to avoid or resolve them The evaluation also will identiFy and assess new approaches for using project resources to achieve project objectives
More soecifically it will focus on five general areas
a the current status of project implementationb exIec7ations and Perceptions of TDI project by NEDA and USAID and c factors affecting project implementation d selection of DI componenT issues and Training component participants
and e opportunities and mechanisms for improving the project
As scheduled in the project paper the first evaluation will be conducted in FY 86
Based on tne findings the evaluation should recommend whether basicchannes in theproject design and implementation Procedures are necessary The recommendatiors should indicate the advantages and disadvantages of the design and procedural changes advocated

IV TEAM COMIPOSITION
The evaluation team must exhibit a thorough understanding of the following subject areas
1 Operations of the GOP specifically of NEDA and OEM2 Philippine develoDment issues and how these relate to policies3 IMechanics of Ai0 and USAIDPhilippines and4 The nature of the relationshio between USAID and N-DA5 The develooment priorities and opportunities of the Aquino government
The teams comPosition should represent expertise in the fields of organizational planning and management policy-making evaluation and management of research and training activities Given the sensitivities surrounding this project and the importance of this evaluation the teamshould not only be experts in the subject areas above they should also bewell known and respected by both INEDA and AID A team is expected to becomposed of a mix of Philippine and US consulrants or MissionAIDWashington personnel
The team will not have to collect and analyze a great deal of information because there have been very few implementation actions to date Thus asmall team of perhaps three or maybe four highly qualified persons should be sufficient

A Diveraence ofZiews on ADproach to Project imlementation
The slow start of the non-training elements of the Development Issues
Component of the TDI Project and its relatively slow progress to-date is
reflective of a fundamental divergence of views between the USAID Mission and the PhiliDDine Governmen implementin aqency for the proh EDA on~ _mni aec o h rject hNEDo
the approach to project implementaticn Specifically while both agree on
(a) the project objective of building up institutional capacities for the
analysis of and subsequent decision-making on key development issues and
(b) on the conduct of research undertakings (including conferences and fora)
to bring this about they dsagree on tne matter of payment for those involved
in the conduct of such research undertakings reflecting a difference in
approach to the at ainment o1 the project s objective
Tile USAID lissions exoectation was that the object-ive would be approached
by focusins goverment personnel attention on particular issues within the
context of their normal functions and thus without additional compensation as
well as by opening up the policy formulation process to a broad spectrum of
participants from outside government thereby enriching the process itself and
the policy recommendations that subsequently emanate from it The outputs
being d dist-illation of hopefully some of the best minds in (and as
necessary out of the country policy-makers ould be better-equipped for
decision-makinQ on zritical issues This would be supplemented by funding
provisions for training in issue-related fields From the foregoing the
Mission lxpectationthat government personnelwas would be actively involved
in te project without extra compensation so that much if not most of the
funds for non-training Development Issue Component activities would be paid
out to non-governmental institutions

B Communication Problems
The fact that the projects principal problems are rooted in basic
interpretational differences would seem to indicate problems in the
communication process between the USAID Mission and the Philippine Government
throuch its implementing agency the NEDA concerning the project indeed
for various reasons this appears to have been the case from the design stage
to at least the early stages of project implementation
1 Project design stage
Because of pressures brought on by approaching US budgetary deadlines in
mid-1983 there was little opportunity for any extensive discussion between
the ilission and the INEDA on the Project Paper which was prepared by the
Mission Staff Indications of the basic differences in expectations with
respect to the approach to project implementation thus began to surface only
in the course of implementation itself as the TDI-PMO based at NEDA began to
endorse for the Missions clearanceapproval specific proposals to use project
funds for non-training activities including equipment procurement
On this particular issue it may be pointed out that the language of the
Project Pap-- was by no means unequivocal in thie discussion of Submission
of Issue Proposals and Selection of issue Activities paragraphs 1 and 2 of
p 11 state that
A wide variety of organizations are expected to submit proposals and
thus be eligible for implementing ac-ivities These include (a) units
within NEDA (b)GOP agencies (c) Local governments (d)Government

TWo soecific situations contributed to the insufficiency of
communia-ions rirstly the NJEDA TDI-Project -lanagement and the USAID
Ilission differed on the particular issue of USAID representation in the
Project Steering Committee The Mission had expected to be an ex-officio
member of the Committee the TDI-Project Managements position on the other
hand vias that since the USAIDs role in the Steering Committee as specified
in the Project Agreement was advisory USAID participation in Steering
Committee meetinQs would be strictly on a need basis
Secondly neither the USAID nor more importantly even the NEDA TDI-PM1O
was devoting much time to the project
For example Project Impl ementation Letters setting out pertinent USAID
implementing guidelines and procedures were not issued early on The only
issuance of this nature (PIL NJo 3) came in January 1985 seventeen (17)
months after signing of the Project Agreement setting out the mechanism for
financing the Develoomen- Tssues Component (This represents a sharp contrast
to the Economic and Social Impact Analysis-Women in Development (ESIA-WID)
project in which within a little over three (3)months of the date of signing
of the Project Agreement at least five (5) PILs had been issued setting out
among other things criteria for satisfactory compliance with conditions
precedent guidelines for contracting and exemptions thereto and procedures
and documentation for requesting and liquidating AID Peso advances) Perhaps
this was due to USAID presumpions as to the extent of the project personnels
awareness of USAID rules and procedures

an prioritize poi cy research issues and proposals that bear on Philippine
devel opment
0 Implementation Procedures
Following from the USAID premise of the broadest possible participation in
the policy formulation process the implementation procedures set out in the
Project Paper envisioned extensive use of seminars and conferences (about 30
to 40) in the entire course of project implementation from issue selection to
the presenta-ion of research findings and recommendations These procedures
were adopted in the implementation Plan of the DeveloDMnt issues Component
in the implementation o- zite project to-date however only one such
workshop-conFerence- has been nel d and this in October more tiian1985 two
years from the daze of signing of tne Project Agreemnt The purpose of this
workshop attended by representatives of various research institutions was to
publicize generate interest in and hopefully speed up research formulation
under the Development Issues Component of TDI
Significantly post-orkshop response to the project has been encouraging
wit~is aditionalproposals having already been received on topics in the
Research Agenca as ail as -n others related to it Still others are
currently under preparation From clnis standpoint much improvement may be
expected in the pace of mpement3ation of at least the research element of the
5Development -ssues Component within the coming monthsshy
5 The Steering Committee was scheduled to meet on 14 July 1986 at which approval of research proposals 4ith a total cost of just under $200000 is expected

Coincidentally thirty-four j34) have been in long-term (one-year or more)
pr rams and twenty-five (25) in shorter programs
Based on the foregoing the training component of the TDI Project has to
date been proceeding by and large on schedule This notwithstanding however
it needs to be asked whether the component (including the training element of
the Development issues Component) has been operating in a manner consistent
with the training objectives of the project
B Objectives of Training Activities
As designed the training component of the TDI project was not only to
build upon but to improve on the General Participant Training (GPT) Program of
the 1970s Specifically whiie the GPT Program was observed to have lacked
focus on particular development issues or on specific human resource and
institutional development objectives that thereby limited its overall impact
training activities under the TDI project would support the institutional
objectives of requesting organizations contribute to improving manpower
skills critical to national and regional development and enhance capacities
related to the issues selected under the Development issues Component
Towards this end a survey of training needs of socio-economic
development-related government institutions was undertaken in the early stages
of the project On the basis of criteria approved by the project Steering
Committee survey responses were analyzed to come up with a prioritization of
agencies and of fields of study for funding under the projectshy

D Areas for gtnorovein
The foregoing general observations notwi thstanding however there are
definite areas for improvement in the operation and implementation of training
activities
o e-n viith the priorit zation scheme adopted while useful in guiding
the evaluation of specific requests fo training assistance leaves too much
room for flexibility in decision-making While the need for and the value of
flexibility in a program of this nature recognized too much it couldis of
easily lead to distortions in Program results That this has tended to be the
case is evident from the folloino
a) The predominance of gtEDA itself as recipient institution of the
training grants Of the fifty-nine (59) slots that had been made
available twen-y-two 2) or more thian a thi -d went to IEDA official s
and employees Relative to the slots that went to institutions in the
first priority list (43) the proportion is even higher at slightly
over half While a large proportion of project training funds going
to NEDA staff may be justifiable in terms of the institutions central
role in Philippine development plannin and policy-formulation such a
high proportion of resources going to a single agency is rather
excessive
b) Relatedly the predominance of fields of a general development nature
ie Economics Planning IMlanagement and Public Acimnistration and
Statistics in the fields of training supported under the project
These acounted for forty-four (44) of the fifty nne (59) slots
Again whlle the value of a broad perspective in policy-formulation is
recognized threo-fourtihs of the training allocation going into thi3

type of general zraining wou d seem to unduly undervalue tiie ieed for
more specza~ized types of poli cy anal vsis called for in many areas of
Phiippine development T is of course Dossble that these needs are
already being addressed tirou-gh projects other than the underone
consideration if so then - e present ellocation under the TDI
Project may well be jusified Unfortunately time constraints have
7 no- enabled -i-oser nvesiation of this mattershy
c) Funding of pr-grans in Law and Justice which though related to
socio economic development policy formulation is at best only
distantly so ParLicipation for instance in programs on American amp
internat-ional a as well as -n the US Legal System by members of
the Regional Trial Courts is to say the least difficult to justify
under tiis project However support towards laster s degrees in
Engineering of which rhere are two probably is justifiable as these
may be classified among the manpower skills critical to national and
regional development
d) Relative imbalance in the distribution of training slots between
participants from central offices and those from the regions Of the
fifty-nine (59) slots made available less than ten have gone to participants from the reg-onai offices Considering the thrust of the
present government towards genuine regionalzation including NEDAs
own interests improvements in this regard are especially called for
For instance the nei government is strengthening the role of the
Regional Development Council- and therefore these may be additional
training needs
_ According to the Hanager of the Participant Training Component this was in fact the case
The seconc road a-ea for improvemert is in monit-ori ng The establ i shment
of a sstem for monitoring of zrain n oarticioants both during and more
importantly after traind1n Was envsioned in thne project design The first
batch or tra nees iho went through one year programs in SY 1934 have been back
on the job for a ear and tiose wiho underwenr shorter programs have been back
for a longe period To cate hovever no back to office monitoring has been
undertken rendr in- di-ficut the assssent of traininc imDact relative to
obj ectives
E Usefulness of Training
Towards this end however limited interviews of immediate supervisors of
returned trai nees wiere carried out in this evaluation to obtain some feel for
the usefulness o1 training to the sponsoring institutions
in general the assessment of training impact has been very positive with
significant improvements observed in the overall depth and breadth of
analytical outputs of returned trainees in one instance however even
before the outset of tne training program the participant was transferred to
another unit to which immediate applicabilit of the training eventua1y
received was minimal thoh nonethelss potentially useful
On the transfer of knowledgeskills acquired to other personnel of the
sponsoring Insitutions the general approach has been through informal
discussions on the j o

V PRQ ECT SGJ I IT AND OUTLOOK
Implementation problems notwithstanding current evidence supports the
continued usefulness off the project towards the objective of building up
institutional capacities for policy analysis and decision-making in the
PhiliPPine bureaucracy The Tax Administration and Compliance Study for
instance thouqh still in the process of finalization has already contributed
siqnificant inputs to the recent formulation of a new Tax Reform Package
Outputs of the on-going research on Sectoral Classification of Trade and
Inve ment Data are already being programmed for use in the current drafting
of the Philippine Development Plan for 1987-1992 Limited interviews have
also established the positive contributions of training supported under the
project in terms of improved overall quality of analytical work of returned
trainees
The potential impact of the project is further considerably enhanced by
the fact of a new government which is seriously engaged in a broad-ranging
effort to review and as needed recast the whole gamut of policies
structures and procedures that intimately affect both the current and the
future life of the nation
In terms of project operations recent developments augur well for
improvements not only in the pace of project implementation but also in terms
of broadening the projects overall impact In the case of the Development
Issues Component mention has already been made of positive expectations
resultina from the workshop on the Research Agenda conducted in late 1935
Significantly because of the materially improved response that resulted from
thc workshop the TDI-PMO has decided to convene similar workshops on a
regular basis possibly twice a year

unlikely the full ip1ementation of The project within the current PACD
Furthermore the Pr o- ed mod ficiDns in the operating scheme of the
training component ioulc also take some time to work out Accordingly the
7oTDI-P1O is exoected put forard to USAID a request for a two-year extension
of the current PASD f the project is extended then there will be need for
another evaiua-ion in two years
VI RECOMME IDATI OS
in light of all of the foregoing the following recommendations are herein
made with respect to the TDI project
1 The project should continue and the PACD extended by two years to
December 1990
2 Should the Precedinig reccmmendation be approved another evaluation of
the project should be schedule- in thc first half of 1988
3 To contribute to the easing of the countrys debt servicing
difficulties and in consideration of the diffused social benefits of the
project the entire unearmarked loan allocation to the project should be
converted to outright grant
4 To enhance smooth and timely implementation of the project as a whole
and in particular of the non-training elements of the Development issues
Component a clear resolution of the issues that have herein been identified
as having largely held back proect progress should be made and agreements
reached should be clearly set out in project implementation letters
Critical items in this regard are the whole apProach to project
implementation and the related question of compensation for government
personnel and the issue of USAID membership in the Project Steering

7 For reasons that have already been indicated elsewhere in this
report at of part ofleast the management the procedures of the Development
Issues component (which now excludes training) should be transferred or
subcontracted to the Philippine Institute for Development Studies (PIDS) which
has consideraile experience with managing research and working with USAID
8 To improve the implementation of the development issues component
(a) The Steering Committee especially in light of the priorities of
the new GOP administration should focus and prioritize the Agenda of Areas of
Research This should be done with the intent of selecting only a limited
number of development issues in order to concentrate efforts involve more
institutions in the same topic and culminate through a series of activities
in concrete policy recommendations
(b) TDI-PI0 should implement present plans for more frequent workshops
and advertisements to solicit research proposals and to broaden participation
(c) In addition high level NEDA officials should continue to endeavor
to involve directly other ministers and deputy ministers in the selection of
development issue topics research assignments and discussions of results
NEDA should continue to make readily available TDI resources to other
ministries
(d) The regular selection process should be made simpler and quicker
through such steps as greater discretionary power to the NEDA-TDI Project
Manager to approve proposals on already cleared topics without further
approval of the Steering Committee or USAIO up to a limit of say $15000
per proposal
(e) An alternative formechanism selecting consultants should be
designed to meet immediate short-term needs The NEDA-TDI project manager
should have greater authority to initiate on his own within topic guidelines
approved by the Steering Committee and USAID consultancy contracts This
authority snould be limited both as to amount of any individual contract say
$15000 and to the total amount of all such contracts for the year say
$100000
9 The Evaluation Team endorses the TDI-PMO proposals for improving the
overall effectiveness and impact of training activities Specifically
(a)A more detailed training plan for the balance of the project
duration should be prepared based on an updated assessment of institutional
training needs The team feels that in this assessment special attention
should be given to the needs of regional offices Further while maximum
adherence to the formulated plan is desirable provision for some degree of
flexibility should also be allowed to enable the project to respond to
unforeseen but urgent training requirements that may arise in the course of
implemfentation For this purpose ten (10) per cent of the uncommitted
balance of the training allocation could remain unprogrammed and availed of
largely on a need basis
(b) Institutional participation in the training component should be
broadened not so much however by increasing the number of participating
institutions (although possibly that too) but more through the provision of
proportionately more slots to institutions that have been determined to rank
high in the institutional prioritization scheme
(c) Participation from the regional levels should be increased and
perhaps even given priority
(d) Extension of funding support to training in suitable fields in
selected regional training institutions in the country should be undertaken
n this reard full consi deration should be given toi nci uding training
ororms 7 rv ate -c--nal insi tutions The proposal to explore the
devloomnt of a aster s roram in DcveloDment Economics at the UP in

th t the latter type of neecs is indeed being adequately addressed through
thi-s rojett in comb na tion i - othr d or-assi sted training programs If
not tIen soe shi ftng in proportions should be effected
11 Finally to enable continuini assessment of the extent to which project ojectives for the training component are being achieved the
otng system envisaged nder the project should immediately be
establisned and activated

I THE PROJECT
Title Training and Development Issues Project (492-0340) Project Start July 29 1983 PACD December 31 1983 Funding $6000000 (TOTAL)
$4500000 (AID-funded) $1200000 (Grant) $3300000 (Loan) $1500000 (GOP)
Purpose The purpose of the project is to improve the capability of Philippine Government and other institutions to analyze development issues and to make sound and timely development-related decisions
Current Status The above-mentioned purpose is pursued through the implementation of two project components namely (1)Participant Training Component and (2) Development Issues Comoonent As of 31 December 1985 a total of 29 overseas and 15 local training participants nave been supported by the Participant Training Component Meanwhile the Development Issues Component has directed efforts toward the development of the technical base for effective policy analysis Through the conduct of three researches under the broad develoPment issues identified for project attention preparation of concept papers on development planningand policy issues and provision of support for 4 overseas the same
and 34 local training participants As of date the Participant Training Component has
obligated 609 p-r cent of the total loan appropriation it has received so far and 967 per cent of its total grant budget The Developmeit Issues Component on the other hand has obligated 437 per cent of the total loan appropriations and 164 per cent of its total grant budget
I PURPOSE AND TIING OF THE EVALUATION
This evaluation will assess the progress of the implementation of the TDI Project and make reccmmendations for maximizing the projects impact on the development efforts of the Aquino Government It will identify the successful project activities and attempt to explain the advantages these have over ess successful activities It plans to investigate the problems and issues which appear to have hampered or delayedimplementation of the less successful and to determine mechanisms to avoid or resolve them The evaluation also will identiFy and assess new approaches for using project resources to achieve project objectives
More soecifically it will focus on five general areas
a the current status of project implementationb exIec7ations and Perceptions of TDI project by NEDA and USAID and c factors affecting project implementation d selection of DI componenT issues and Training component participants
and e opportunities and mechanisms for improving the project
As scheduled in the project paper the first evaluation will be conducted in FY 86
Based on tne findings the evaluation should recommend whether basicchannes in theproject design and implementation Procedures are necessary The recommendatiors should indicate the advantages and disadvantages of the design and procedural changes advocated

7S imDlementation of the TDI Project proceeding as planned What are thevariances between projected and observed schedules for implementing the training and development issues components of the project If such variances exist what are their probable impact on the overall impIlmentation Plan Is it likely that the project purpose will be achieved by the PACD
B Expectations and Perceotions
What are NEDAs and AIDs expectations and perceptions regarding the project design implementation procedures factors hinderingimplementation beneficiary groups etc What are AIDs expectations of the NEDA TDI-Project Management Office (TDI-PMO) regarding the latters implementation procedures What are TDI-PMO expectations of USAID regarding project supportbackstopping How do NEDAs and AIDs percepticns compare with actual implementation procedures Are both sidessatisfied with the manner by which the implementation process is proceeding 1f not what are the areas and reasons for dissatisfaction
C Factors Affectino Project Imolementation
What factors explain the progress or lack of progress of both the trainingand development issues components What are the major factors contributing to delays in project implmentation Are the delays a function of project design How were the guidelines in the PP and other ooverning documents applied Are the assumptions underlying the projectdesign and iMPlementation plans valid How can the NEDA TDi-ProjectManagement Office (TDI-PMO) further raise its institutional capability eg staff availability and appropriate organizational structure to implement the plan as scheduled How can USAID further improve itsbackstopping for the project Are there external factors eg lack of interest in potential participant organizations affectingimplementation Are there budget-related problems such provision ofas

IV TEAM COMIPOSITION
The evaluation team must exhibit a thorough understanding of the following subject areas
1 Operations of the GOP specifically of NEDA and OEM2 Philippine develoDment issues and how these relate to policies3 IMechanics of Ai0 and USAIDPhilippines and4 The nature of the relationshio between USAID and N-DA5 The develooment priorities and opportunities of the Aquino government
The teams comPosition should represent expertise in the fields of organizational planning and management policy-making evaluation and management of research and training activities Given the sensitivities surrounding this project and the importance of this evaluation the teamshould not only be experts in the subject areas above they should also bewell known and respected by both INEDA and AID A team is expected to becomposed of a mix of Philippine and US consulrants or MissionAIDWashington personnel
The team will not have to collect and analyze a great deal of information because there have been very few implementation actions to date Thus asmall team of perhaps three or maybe four highly qualified persons should be sufficient

A Diveraence ofZiews on ADproach to Project imlementation
The slow start of the non-training elements of the Development Issues
Component of the TDI Project and its relatively slow progress to-date is
reflective of a fundamental divergence of views between the USAID Mission and the PhiliDDine Governmen implementin aqency for the proh EDA on~ _mni aec o h rject hNEDo
the approach to project implementaticn Specifically while both agree on
(a) the project objective of building up institutional capacities for the
analysis of and subsequent decision-making on key development issues and
(b) on the conduct of research undertakings (including conferences and fora)
to bring this about they dsagree on tne matter of payment for those involved
in the conduct of such research undertakings reflecting a difference in
approach to the at ainment o1 the project s objective
Tile USAID lissions exoectation was that the object-ive would be approached
by focusins goverment personnel attention on particular issues within the
context of their normal functions and thus without additional compensation as
well as by opening up the policy formulation process to a broad spectrum of
participants from outside government thereby enriching the process itself and
the policy recommendations that subsequently emanate from it The outputs
being d dist-illation of hopefully some of the best minds in (and as
necessary out of the country policy-makers ould be better-equipped for
decision-makinQ on zritical issues This would be supplemented by funding
provisions for training in issue-related fields From the foregoing the
Mission lxpectationthat government personnelwas would be actively involved
in te project without extra compensation so that much if not most of the
funds for non-training Development Issue Component activities would be paid
out to non-governmental institutions

B Communication Problems
The fact that the projects principal problems are rooted in basic
interpretational differences would seem to indicate problems in the
communication process between the USAID Mission and the Philippine Government
throuch its implementing agency the NEDA concerning the project indeed
for various reasons this appears to have been the case from the design stage
to at least the early stages of project implementation
1 Project design stage
Because of pressures brought on by approaching US budgetary deadlines in
mid-1983 there was little opportunity for any extensive discussion between
the ilission and the INEDA on the Project Paper which was prepared by the
Mission Staff Indications of the basic differences in expectations with
respect to the approach to project implementation thus began to surface only
in the course of implementation itself as the TDI-PMO based at NEDA began to
endorse for the Missions clearanceapproval specific proposals to use project
funds for non-training activities including equipment procurement
On this particular issue it may be pointed out that the language of the
Project Pap-- was by no means unequivocal in thie discussion of Submission
of Issue Proposals and Selection of issue Activities paragraphs 1 and 2 of
p 11 state that
A wide variety of organizations are expected to submit proposals and
thus be eligible for implementing ac-ivities These include (a) units
within NEDA (b)GOP agencies (c) Local governments (d)Government

TWo soecific situations contributed to the insufficiency of
communia-ions rirstly the NJEDA TDI-Project -lanagement and the USAID
Ilission differed on the particular issue of USAID representation in the
Project Steering Committee The Mission had expected to be an ex-officio
member of the Committee the TDI-Project Managements position on the other
hand vias that since the USAIDs role in the Steering Committee as specified
in the Project Agreement was advisory USAID participation in Steering
Committee meetinQs would be strictly on a need basis
Secondly neither the USAID nor more importantly even the NEDA TDI-PM1O
was devoting much time to the project
For example Project Impl ementation Letters setting out pertinent USAID
implementing guidelines and procedures were not issued early on The only
issuance of this nature (PIL NJo 3) came in January 1985 seventeen (17)
months after signing of the Project Agreement setting out the mechanism for
financing the Develoomen- Tssues Component (This represents a sharp contrast
to the Economic and Social Impact Analysis-Women in Development (ESIA-WID)
project in which within a little over three (3)months of the date of signing
of the Project Agreement at least five (5) PILs had been issued setting out
among other things criteria for satisfactory compliance with conditions
precedent guidelines for contracting and exemptions thereto and procedures
and documentation for requesting and liquidating AID Peso advances) Perhaps
this was due to USAID presumpions as to the extent of the project personnels
awareness of USAID rules and procedures

0 Implementation Procedures
Following from the USAID premise of the broadest possible participation in
the policy formulation process the implementation procedures set out in the
Project Paper envisioned extensive use of seminars and conferences (about 30
to 40) in the entire course of project implementation from issue selection to
the presenta-ion of research findings and recommendations These procedures
were adopted in the implementation Plan of the DeveloDMnt issues Component
in the implementation o- zite project to-date however only one such
workshop-conFerence- has been nel d and this in October more tiian1985 two
years from the daze of signing of tne Project Agreemnt The purpose of this
workshop attended by representatives of various research institutions was to
publicize generate interest in and hopefully speed up research formulation
under the Development Issues Component of TDI
Significantly post-orkshop response to the project has been encouraging
wit~is aditionalproposals having already been received on topics in the
Research Agenca as ail as -n others related to it Still others are
currently under preparation From clnis standpoint much improvement may be
expected in the pace of mpement3ation of at least the research element of the
5Development -ssues Component within the coming monthsshy
5 The Steering Committee was scheduled to meet on 14 July 1986 at which approval of research proposals 4ith a total cost of just under $200000 is expected

Coincidentally thirty-four j34) have been in long-term (one-year or more)
pr rams and twenty-five (25) in shorter programs
Based on the foregoing the training component of the TDI Project has to
date been proceeding by and large on schedule This notwithstanding however
it needs to be asked whether the component (including the training element of
the Development issues Component) has been operating in a manner consistent
with the training objectives of the project
B Objectives of Training Activities
As designed the training component of the TDI project was not only to
build upon but to improve on the General Participant Training (GPT) Program of
the 1970s Specifically whiie the GPT Program was observed to have lacked
focus on particular development issues or on specific human resource and
institutional development objectives that thereby limited its overall impact
training activities under the TDI project would support the institutional
objectives of requesting organizations contribute to improving manpower
skills critical to national and regional development and enhance capacities
related to the issues selected under the Development issues Component
Towards this end a survey of training needs of socio-economic
development-related government institutions was undertaken in the early stages
of the project On the basis of criteria approved by the project Steering
Committee survey responses were analyzed to come up with a prioritization of
agencies and of fields of study for funding under the projectshy

D Areas for gtnorovein
The foregoing general observations notwi thstanding however there are
definite areas for improvement in the operation and implementation of training
activities
o e-n viith the priorit zation scheme adopted while useful in guiding
the evaluation of specific requests fo training assistance leaves too much
room for flexibility in decision-making While the need for and the value of
flexibility in a program of this nature recognized too much it couldis of
easily lead to distortions in Program results That this has tended to be the
case is evident from the folloino
a) The predominance of gtEDA itself as recipient institution of the
training grants Of the fifty-nine (59) slots that had been made
available twen-y-two 2) or more thian a thi -d went to IEDA official s
and employees Relative to the slots that went to institutions in the
first priority list (43) the proportion is even higher at slightly
over half While a large proportion of project training funds going
to NEDA staff may be justifiable in terms of the institutions central
role in Philippine development plannin and policy-formulation such a
high proportion of resources going to a single agency is rather
excessive
b) Relatedly the predominance of fields of a general development nature
ie Economics Planning IMlanagement and Public Acimnistration and
Statistics in the fields of training supported under the project
These acounted for forty-four (44) of the fifty nne (59) slots
Again whlle the value of a broad perspective in policy-formulation is
recognized threo-fourtihs of the training allocation going into thi3
19shy
type of general zraining wou d seem to unduly undervalue tiie ieed for
more specza~ized types of poli cy anal vsis called for in many areas of
Phiippine development T is of course Dossble that these needs are
already being addressed tirou-gh projects other than the underone
consideration if so then - e present ellocation under the TDI
Project may well be jusified Unfortunately time constraints have
7 no- enabled -i-oser nvesiation of this mattershy
c) Funding of pr-grans in Law and Justice which though related to
socio economic development policy formulation is at best only
distantly so ParLicipation for instance in programs on American amp
internat-ional a as well as -n the US Legal System by members of
the Regional Trial Courts is to say the least difficult to justify
under tiis project However support towards laster s degrees in
Engineering of which rhere are two probably is justifiable as these
may be classified among the manpower skills critical to national and
regional development
d) Relative imbalance in the distribution of training slots between
participants from central offices and those from the regions Of the
fifty-nine (59) slots made available less than ten have gone to participants from the reg-onai offices Considering the thrust of the
present government towards genuine regionalzation including NEDAs
own interests improvements in this regard are especially called for
For instance the nei government is strengthening the role of the
Regional Development Council- and therefore these may be additional
training needs
_ According to the Hanager of the Participant Training Component this was in fact the case
The seconc road a-ea for improvemert is in monit-ori ng The establ i shment
of a sstem for monitoring of zrain n oarticioants both during and more
importantly after traind1n Was envsioned in thne project design The first
batch or tra nees iho went through one year programs in SY 1934 have been back
on the job for a ear and tiose wiho underwenr shorter programs have been back
for a longe period To cate hovever no back to office monitoring has been
undertken rendr in- di-ficut the assssent of traininc imDact relative to
obj ectives
E Usefulness of Training
Towards this end however limited interviews of immediate supervisors of
returned trai nees wiere carried out in this evaluation to obtain some feel for
the usefulness o1 training to the sponsoring institutions
in general the assessment of training impact has been very positive with
significant improvements observed in the overall depth and breadth of
analytical outputs of returned trainees in one instance however even
before the outset of tne training program the participant was transferred to
another unit to which immediate applicabilit of the training eventua1y
received was minimal thoh nonethelss potentially useful
On the transfer of knowledgeskills acquired to other personnel of the
sponsoring Insitutions the general approach has been through informal
discussions on the j o
- 21 -
V PRQ ECT SGJ I IT AND OUTLOOK
Implementation problems notwithstanding current evidence supports the
continued usefulness off the project towards the objective of building up
institutional capacities for policy analysis and decision-making in the
PhiliPPine bureaucracy The Tax Administration and Compliance Study for
instance thouqh still in the process of finalization has already contributed
siqnificant inputs to the recent formulation of a new Tax Reform Package
Outputs of the on-going research on Sectoral Classification of Trade and
Inve ment Data are already being programmed for use in the current drafting
of the Philippine Development Plan for 1987-1992 Limited interviews have
also established the positive contributions of training supported under the
project in terms of improved overall quality of analytical work of returned
trainees
The potential impact of the project is further considerably enhanced by
the fact of a new government which is seriously engaged in a broad-ranging
effort to review and as needed recast the whole gamut of policies
structures and procedures that intimately affect both the current and the
future life of the nation
In terms of project operations recent developments augur well for
improvements not only in the pace of project implementation but also in terms
of broadening the projects overall impact In the case of the Development
Issues Component mention has already been made of positive expectations
resultina from the workshop on the Research Agenda conducted in late 1935
Significantly because of the materially improved response that resulted from
thc workshop the TDI-PMO has decided to convene similar workshops on a
regular basis possibly twice a year

unlikely the full ip1ementation of The project within the current PACD
Furthermore the Pr o- ed mod ficiDns in the operating scheme of the
training component ioulc also take some time to work out Accordingly the
7oTDI-P1O is exoected put forard to USAID a request for a two-year extension
of the current PASD f the project is extended then there will be need for
another evaiua-ion in two years
VI RECOMME IDATI OS
in light of all of the foregoing the following recommendations are herein
made with respect to the TDI project
1 The project should continue and the PACD extended by two years to
December 1990
2 Should the Precedinig reccmmendation be approved another evaluation of
the project should be schedule- in thc first half of 1988
3 To contribute to the easing of the countrys debt servicing
difficulties and in consideration of the diffused social benefits of the
project the entire unearmarked loan allocation to the project should be
converted to outright grant
4 To enhance smooth and timely implementation of the project as a whole
and in particular of the non-training elements of the Development issues
Component a clear resolution of the issues that have herein been identified
as having largely held back proect progress should be made and agreements
reached should be clearly set out in project implementation letters
Critical items in this regard are the whole apProach to project
implementation and the related question of compensation for government
personnel and the issue of USAID membership in the Project Steering

7 For reasons that have already been indicated elsewhere in this
report at of part ofleast the management the procedures of the Development
Issues component (which now excludes training) should be transferred or
subcontracted to the Philippine Institute for Development Studies (PIDS) which
has consideraile experience with managing research and working with USAID
8 To improve the implementation of the development issues component
(a) The Steering Committee especially in light of the priorities of
the new GOP administration should focus and prioritize the Agenda of Areas of
Research This should be done with the intent of selecting only a limited
number of development issues in order to concentrate efforts involve more
institutions in the same topic and culminate through a series of activities
in concrete policy recommendations
(b) TDI-PI0 should implement present plans for more frequent workshops
and advertisements to solicit research proposals and to broaden participation
(c) In addition high level NEDA officials should continue to endeavor
to involve directly other ministers and deputy ministers in the selection of
development issue topics research assignments and discussions of results
NEDA should continue to make readily available TDI resources to other
ministries
(d) The regular selection process should be made simpler and quicker
through such steps as greater discretionary power to the NEDA-TDI Project
Manager to approve proposals on already cleared topics without further
approval of the Steering Committee or USAIO up to a limit of say $15000
per proposal
(e) An alternative formechanism selecting consultants should be
designed to meet immediate short-term needs The NEDA-TDI project manager
should have greater authority to initiate on his own within topic guidelines
approved by the Steering Committee and USAID consultancy contracts This
authority snould be limited both as to amount of any individual contract say
$15000 and to the total amount of all such contracts for the year say
$100000
9 The Evaluation Team endorses the TDI-PMO proposals for improving the
overall effectiveness and impact of training activities Specifically
(a)A more detailed training plan for the balance of the project
duration should be prepared based on an updated assessment of institutional
training needs The team feels that in this assessment special attention
should be given to the needs of regional offices Further while maximum
adherence to the formulated plan is desirable provision for some degree of
flexibility should also be allowed to enable the project to respond to
unforeseen but urgent training requirements that may arise in the course of
implemfentation For this purpose ten (10) per cent of the uncommitted
balance of the training allocation could remain unprogrammed and availed of
largely on a need basis
(b) Institutional participation in the training component should be
broadened not so much however by increasing the number of participating
institutions (although possibly that too) but more through the provision of
proportionately more slots to institutions that have been determined to rank
high in the institutional prioritization scheme
(c) Participation from the regional levels should be increased and
perhaps even given priority
(d) Extension of funding support to training in suitable fields in
selected regional training institutions in the country should be undertaken
n this reard full consi deration should be given toi nci uding training
ororms 7 rv ate -c--nal insi tutions The proposal to explore the
devloomnt of a aster s roram in DcveloDment Economics at the UP in

th t the latter type of neecs is indeed being adequately addressed through
thi-s rojett in comb na tion i - othr d or-assi sted training programs If
not tIen soe shi ftng in proportions should be effected
11 Finally to enable continuini assessment of the extent to which project ojectives for the training component are being achieved the
otng system envisaged nder the project should immediately be
establisned and activated

$4500000 (AID-funded) $1200000 (Grant) $3300000 (Loan) $1500000 (GOP)
Purpose The purpose of the project is to improve the capability of Philippine Government and other institutions to analyze development issues and to make sound and timely development-related decisions
Current Status The above-mentioned purpose is pursued through the implementation of two project components namely (1)Participant Training Component and (2) Development Issues Comoonent As of 31 December 1985 a total of 29 overseas and 15 local training participants nave been supported by the Participant Training Component Meanwhile the Development Issues Component has directed efforts toward the development of the technical base for effective policy analysis Through the conduct of three researches under the broad develoPment issues identified for project attention preparation of concept papers on development planningand policy issues and provision of support for 4 overseas the same
and 34 local training participants As of date the Participant Training Component has
obligated 609 p-r cent of the total loan appropriation it has received so far and 967 per cent of its total grant budget The Developmeit Issues Component on the other hand has obligated 437 per cent of the total loan appropriations and 164 per cent of its total grant budget
I PURPOSE AND TIING OF THE EVALUATION
This evaluation will assess the progress of the implementation of the TDI Project and make reccmmendations for maximizing the projects impact on the development efforts of the Aquino Government It will identify the successful project activities and attempt to explain the advantages these have over ess successful activities It plans to investigate the problems and issues which appear to have hampered or delayedimplementation of the less successful and to determine mechanisms to avoid or resolve them The evaluation also will identiFy and assess new approaches for using project resources to achieve project objectives
More soecifically it will focus on five general areas
a the current status of project implementationb exIec7ations and Perceptions of TDI project by NEDA and USAID and c factors affecting project implementation d selection of DI componenT issues and Training component participants
and e opportunities and mechanisms for improving the project
As scheduled in the project paper the first evaluation will be conducted in FY 86
Based on tne findings the evaluation should recommend whether basicchannes in theproject design and implementation Procedures are necessary The recommendatiors should indicate the advantages and disadvantages of the design and procedural changes advocated
III QUESTIONS FOR THE EVALUATION TEAM

IV TEAM COMIPOSITION
The evaluation team must exhibit a thorough understanding of the following subject areas
1 Operations of the GOP specifically of NEDA and OEM2 Philippine develoDment issues and how these relate to policies3 IMechanics of Ai0 and USAIDPhilippines and4 The nature of the relationshio between USAID and N-DA5 The develooment priorities and opportunities of the Aquino government
The teams comPosition should represent expertise in the fields of organizational planning and management policy-making evaluation and management of research and training activities Given the sensitivities surrounding this project and the importance of this evaluation the teamshould not only be experts in the subject areas above they should also bewell known and respected by both INEDA and AID A team is expected to becomposed of a mix of Philippine and US consulrants or MissionAIDWashington personnel
The team will not have to collect and analyze a great deal of information because there have been very few implementation actions to date Thus asmall team of perhaps three or maybe four highly qualified persons should be sufficient

A Diveraence ofZiews on ADproach to Project imlementation
The slow start of the non-training elements of the Development Issues
Component of the TDI Project and its relatively slow progress to-date is
reflective of a fundamental divergence of views between the USAID Mission and the PhiliDDine Governmen implementin aqency for the proh EDA on~ _mni aec o h rject hNEDo
the approach to project implementaticn Specifically while both agree on
(a) the project objective of building up institutional capacities for the
analysis of and subsequent decision-making on key development issues and
(b) on the conduct of research undertakings (including conferences and fora)
to bring this about they dsagree on tne matter of payment for those involved
in the conduct of such research undertakings reflecting a difference in
approach to the at ainment o1 the project s objective
Tile USAID lissions exoectation was that the object-ive would be approached
by focusins goverment personnel attention on particular issues within the
context of their normal functions and thus without additional compensation as
well as by opening up the policy formulation process to a broad spectrum of
participants from outside government thereby enriching the process itself and
the policy recommendations that subsequently emanate from it The outputs
being d dist-illation of hopefully some of the best minds in (and as
necessary out of the country policy-makers ould be better-equipped for
decision-makinQ on zritical issues This would be supplemented by funding
provisions for training in issue-related fields From the foregoing the
Mission lxpectationthat government personnelwas would be actively involved
in te project without extra compensation so that much if not most of the
funds for non-training Development Issue Component activities would be paid
out to non-governmental institutions

B Communication Problems
The fact that the projects principal problems are rooted in basic
interpretational differences would seem to indicate problems in the
communication process between the USAID Mission and the Philippine Government
throuch its implementing agency the NEDA concerning the project indeed
for various reasons this appears to have been the case from the design stage
to at least the early stages of project implementation
1 Project design stage
Because of pressures brought on by approaching US budgetary deadlines in
mid-1983 there was little opportunity for any extensive discussion between
the ilission and the INEDA on the Project Paper which was prepared by the
Mission Staff Indications of the basic differences in expectations with
respect to the approach to project implementation thus began to surface only
in the course of implementation itself as the TDI-PMO based at NEDA began to
endorse for the Missions clearanceapproval specific proposals to use project
funds for non-training activities including equipment procurement
On this particular issue it may be pointed out that the language of the
Project Pap-- was by no means unequivocal in thie discussion of Submission
of Issue Proposals and Selection of issue Activities paragraphs 1 and 2 of
p 11 state that
A wide variety of organizations are expected to submit proposals and
thus be eligible for implementing ac-ivities These include (a) units
within NEDA (b)GOP agencies (c) Local governments (d)Government

TWo soecific situations contributed to the insufficiency of
communia-ions rirstly the NJEDA TDI-Project -lanagement and the USAID
Ilission differed on the particular issue of USAID representation in the
Project Steering Committee The Mission had expected to be an ex-officio
member of the Committee the TDI-Project Managements position on the other
hand vias that since the USAIDs role in the Steering Committee as specified
in the Project Agreement was advisory USAID participation in Steering
Committee meetinQs would be strictly on a need basis
Secondly neither the USAID nor more importantly even the NEDA TDI-PM1O
was devoting much time to the project
For example Project Impl ementation Letters setting out pertinent USAID
implementing guidelines and procedures were not issued early on The only
issuance of this nature (PIL NJo 3) came in January 1985 seventeen (17)
months after signing of the Project Agreement setting out the mechanism for
financing the Develoomen- Tssues Component (This represents a sharp contrast
to the Economic and Social Impact Analysis-Women in Development (ESIA-WID)
project in which within a little over three (3)months of the date of signing
of the Project Agreement at least five (5) PILs had been issued setting out
among other things criteria for satisfactory compliance with conditions
precedent guidelines for contracting and exemptions thereto and procedures
and documentation for requesting and liquidating AID Peso advances) Perhaps
this was due to USAID presumpions as to the extent of the project personnels
awareness of USAID rules and procedures

0 Implementation Procedures
Following from the USAID premise of the broadest possible participation in
the policy formulation process the implementation procedures set out in the
Project Paper envisioned extensive use of seminars and conferences (about 30
to 40) in the entire course of project implementation from issue selection to
the presenta-ion of research findings and recommendations These procedures
were adopted in the implementation Plan of the DeveloDMnt issues Component
in the implementation o- zite project to-date however only one such
workshop-conFerence- has been nel d and this in October more tiian1985 two
years from the daze of signing of tne Project Agreemnt The purpose of this
workshop attended by representatives of various research institutions was to
publicize generate interest in and hopefully speed up research formulation
under the Development Issues Component of TDI
Significantly post-orkshop response to the project has been encouraging
wit~is aditionalproposals having already been received on topics in the
Research Agenca as ail as -n others related to it Still others are
currently under preparation From clnis standpoint much improvement may be
expected in the pace of mpement3ation of at least the research element of the
5Development -ssues Component within the coming monthsshy
5 The Steering Committee was scheduled to meet on 14 July 1986 at which approval of research proposals 4ith a total cost of just under $200000 is expected

Coincidentally thirty-four j34) have been in long-term (one-year or more)
pr rams and twenty-five (25) in shorter programs
Based on the foregoing the training component of the TDI Project has to
date been proceeding by and large on schedule This notwithstanding however
it needs to be asked whether the component (including the training element of
the Development issues Component) has been operating in a manner consistent
with the training objectives of the project
B Objectives of Training Activities
As designed the training component of the TDI project was not only to
build upon but to improve on the General Participant Training (GPT) Program of
the 1970s Specifically whiie the GPT Program was observed to have lacked
focus on particular development issues or on specific human resource and
institutional development objectives that thereby limited its overall impact
training activities under the TDI project would support the institutional
objectives of requesting organizations contribute to improving manpower
skills critical to national and regional development and enhance capacities
related to the issues selected under the Development issues Component
Towards this end a survey of training needs of socio-economic
development-related government institutions was undertaken in the early stages
of the project On the basis of criteria approved by the project Steering
Committee survey responses were analyzed to come up with a prioritization of
agencies and of fields of study for funding under the projectshy

D Areas for gtnorovein
The foregoing general observations notwi thstanding however there are
definite areas for improvement in the operation and implementation of training
activities
o e-n viith the priorit zation scheme adopted while useful in guiding
the evaluation of specific requests fo training assistance leaves too much
room for flexibility in decision-making While the need for and the value of
flexibility in a program of this nature recognized too much it couldis of
easily lead to distortions in Program results That this has tended to be the
case is evident from the folloino
a) The predominance of gtEDA itself as recipient institution of the
training grants Of the fifty-nine (59) slots that had been made
available twen-y-two 2) or more thian a thi -d went to IEDA official s
and employees Relative to the slots that went to institutions in the
first priority list (43) the proportion is even higher at slightly
over half While a large proportion of project training funds going
to NEDA staff may be justifiable in terms of the institutions central
role in Philippine development plannin and policy-formulation such a
high proportion of resources going to a single agency is rather
excessive
b) Relatedly the predominance of fields of a general development nature
ie Economics Planning IMlanagement and Public Acimnistration and
Statistics in the fields of training supported under the project
These acounted for forty-four (44) of the fifty nne (59) slots
Again whlle the value of a broad perspective in policy-formulation is
recognized threo-fourtihs of the training allocation going into thi3
19shy
type of general zraining wou d seem to unduly undervalue tiie ieed for
more specza~ized types of poli cy anal vsis called for in many areas of
Phiippine development T is of course Dossble that these needs are
already being addressed tirou-gh projects other than the underone
consideration if so then - e present ellocation under the TDI
Project may well be jusified Unfortunately time constraints have
7 no- enabled -i-oser nvesiation of this mattershy
c) Funding of pr-grans in Law and Justice which though related to
socio economic development policy formulation is at best only
distantly so ParLicipation for instance in programs on American amp
internat-ional a as well as -n the US Legal System by members of
the Regional Trial Courts is to say the least difficult to justify
under tiis project However support towards laster s degrees in
Engineering of which rhere are two probably is justifiable as these
may be classified among the manpower skills critical to national and
regional development
d) Relative imbalance in the distribution of training slots between
participants from central offices and those from the regions Of the
fifty-nine (59) slots made available less than ten have gone to participants from the reg-onai offices Considering the thrust of the
present government towards genuine regionalzation including NEDAs
own interests improvements in this regard are especially called for
For instance the nei government is strengthening the role of the
Regional Development Council- and therefore these may be additional
training needs
_ According to the Hanager of the Participant Training Component this was in fact the case
The seconc road a-ea for improvemert is in monit-ori ng The establ i shment
of a sstem for monitoring of zrain n oarticioants both during and more
importantly after traind1n Was envsioned in thne project design The first
batch or tra nees iho went through one year programs in SY 1934 have been back
on the job for a ear and tiose wiho underwenr shorter programs have been back
for a longe period To cate hovever no back to office monitoring has been
undertken rendr in- di-ficut the assssent of traininc imDact relative to
obj ectives
E Usefulness of Training
Towards this end however limited interviews of immediate supervisors of
returned trai nees wiere carried out in this evaluation to obtain some feel for
the usefulness o1 training to the sponsoring institutions
in general the assessment of training impact has been very positive with
significant improvements observed in the overall depth and breadth of
analytical outputs of returned trainees in one instance however even
before the outset of tne training program the participant was transferred to
another unit to which immediate applicabilit of the training eventua1y
received was minimal thoh nonethelss potentially useful
On the transfer of knowledgeskills acquired to other personnel of the
sponsoring Insitutions the general approach has been through informal
discussions on the j o
- 21 -
V PRQ ECT SGJ I IT AND OUTLOOK
Implementation problems notwithstanding current evidence supports the
continued usefulness off the project towards the objective of building up
institutional capacities for policy analysis and decision-making in the
PhiliPPine bureaucracy The Tax Administration and Compliance Study for
instance thouqh still in the process of finalization has already contributed
siqnificant inputs to the recent formulation of a new Tax Reform Package
Outputs of the on-going research on Sectoral Classification of Trade and
Inve ment Data are already being programmed for use in the current drafting
of the Philippine Development Plan for 1987-1992 Limited interviews have
also established the positive contributions of training supported under the
project in terms of improved overall quality of analytical work of returned
trainees
The potential impact of the project is further considerably enhanced by
the fact of a new government which is seriously engaged in a broad-ranging
effort to review and as needed recast the whole gamut of policies
structures and procedures that intimately affect both the current and the
future life of the nation
In terms of project operations recent developments augur well for
improvements not only in the pace of project implementation but also in terms
of broadening the projects overall impact In the case of the Development
Issues Component mention has already been made of positive expectations
resultina from the workshop on the Research Agenda conducted in late 1935
Significantly because of the materially improved response that resulted from
thc workshop the TDI-PMO has decided to convene similar workshops on a
regular basis possibly twice a year

unlikely the full ip1ementation of The project within the current PACD
Furthermore the Pr o- ed mod ficiDns in the operating scheme of the
training component ioulc also take some time to work out Accordingly the
7oTDI-P1O is exoected put forard to USAID a request for a two-year extension
of the current PASD f the project is extended then there will be need for
another evaiua-ion in two years
VI RECOMME IDATI OS
in light of all of the foregoing the following recommendations are herein
made with respect to the TDI project
1 The project should continue and the PACD extended by two years to
December 1990
2 Should the Precedinig reccmmendation be approved another evaluation of
the project should be schedule- in thc first half of 1988
3 To contribute to the easing of the countrys debt servicing
difficulties and in consideration of the diffused social benefits of the
project the entire unearmarked loan allocation to the project should be
converted to outright grant
4 To enhance smooth and timely implementation of the project as a whole
and in particular of the non-training elements of the Development issues
Component a clear resolution of the issues that have herein been identified
as having largely held back proect progress should be made and agreements
reached should be clearly set out in project implementation letters
Critical items in this regard are the whole apProach to project
implementation and the related question of compensation for government
personnel and the issue of USAID membership in the Project Steering

7 For reasons that have already been indicated elsewhere in this
report at of part ofleast the management the procedures of the Development
Issues component (which now excludes training) should be transferred or
subcontracted to the Philippine Institute for Development Studies (PIDS) which
has consideraile experience with managing research and working with USAID
8 To improve the implementation of the development issues component
(a) The Steering Committee especially in light of the priorities of
the new GOP administration should focus and prioritize the Agenda of Areas of
Research This should be done with the intent of selecting only a limited
number of development issues in order to concentrate efforts involve more
institutions in the same topic and culminate through a series of activities
in concrete policy recommendations
(b) TDI-PI0 should implement present plans for more frequent workshops
and advertisements to solicit research proposals and to broaden participation
(c) In addition high level NEDA officials should continue to endeavor
to involve directly other ministers and deputy ministers in the selection of
development issue topics research assignments and discussions of results
NEDA should continue to make readily available TDI resources to other
ministries
(d) The regular selection process should be made simpler and quicker
through such steps as greater discretionary power to the NEDA-TDI Project
Manager to approve proposals on already cleared topics without further
approval of the Steering Committee or USAIO up to a limit of say $15000
per proposal
(e) An alternative formechanism selecting consultants should be
designed to meet immediate short-term needs The NEDA-TDI project manager
should have greater authority to initiate on his own within topic guidelines
approved by the Steering Committee and USAID consultancy contracts This
authority snould be limited both as to amount of any individual contract say
$15000 and to the total amount of all such contracts for the year say
$100000
9 The Evaluation Team endorses the TDI-PMO proposals for improving the
overall effectiveness and impact of training activities Specifically
(a)A more detailed training plan for the balance of the project
duration should be prepared based on an updated assessment of institutional
training needs The team feels that in this assessment special attention
should be given to the needs of regional offices Further while maximum
adherence to the formulated plan is desirable provision for some degree of
flexibility should also be allowed to enable the project to respond to
unforeseen but urgent training requirements that may arise in the course of
implemfentation For this purpose ten (10) per cent of the uncommitted
balance of the training allocation could remain unprogrammed and availed of
largely on a need basis
(b) Institutional participation in the training component should be
broadened not so much however by increasing the number of participating
institutions (although possibly that too) but more through the provision of
proportionately more slots to institutions that have been determined to rank
high in the institutional prioritization scheme
(c) Participation from the regional levels should be increased and
perhaps even given priority
(d) Extension of funding support to training in suitable fields in
selected regional training institutions in the country should be undertaken
n this reard full consi deration should be given toi nci uding training

Title Training and Development Issues Project (492-0340) Project Start July 29 1983 PACD December 31 1983 Funding $6000000 (TOTAL)
$4500000 (AID-funded) $1200000 (Grant) $3300000 (Loan) $1500000 (GOP)
Purpose The purpose of the project is to improve the capability of Philippine Government and other institutions to analyze development issues and to make sound and timely development-related decisions
Current Status The above-mentioned purpose is pursued through the implementation of two project components namely (1)Participant Training Component and (2) Development Issues Comoonent As of 31 December 1985 a total of 29 overseas and 15 local training participants nave been supported by the Participant Training Component Meanwhile the Development Issues Component has directed efforts toward the development of the technical base for effective policy analysis Through the conduct of three researches under the broad develoPment issues identified for project attention preparation of concept papers on development planningand policy issues and provision of support for 4 overseas the same
and 34 local training participants As of date the Participant Training Component has
obligated 609 p-r cent of the total loan appropriation it has received so far and 967 per cent of its total grant budget The Developmeit Issues Component on the other hand has obligated 437 per cent of the total loan appropriations and 164 per cent of its total grant budget
I PURPOSE AND TIING OF THE EVALUATION
This evaluation will assess the progress of the implementation of the TDI Project and make reccmmendations for maximizing the projects impact on the development efforts of the Aquino Government It will identify the successful project activities and attempt to explain the advantages these have over ess successful activities It plans to investigate the problems and issues which appear to have hampered or delayedimplementation of the less successful and to determine mechanisms to avoid or resolve them The evaluation also will identiFy and assess new approaches for using project resources to achieve project objectives
More soecifically it will focus on five general areas
a the current status of project implementationb exIec7ations and Perceptions of TDI project by NEDA and USAID and c factors affecting project implementation d selection of DI componenT issues and Training component participants
and e opportunities and mechanisms for improving the project
As scheduled in the project paper the first evaluation will be conducted in FY 86
Based on tne findings the evaluation should recommend whether basicchannes in theproject design and implementation Procedures are necessary The recommendatiors should indicate the advantages and disadvantages of the design and procedural changes advocated
III QUESTIONS FOR THE EVALUATION TEAM

IV TEAM COMIPOSITION
The evaluation team must exhibit a thorough understanding of the following subject areas
1 Operations of the GOP specifically of NEDA and OEM2 Philippine develoDment issues and how these relate to policies3 IMechanics of Ai0 and USAIDPhilippines and4 The nature of the relationshio between USAID and N-DA5 The develooment priorities and opportunities of the Aquino government
The teams comPosition should represent expertise in the fields of organizational planning and management policy-making evaluation and management of research and training activities Given the sensitivities surrounding this project and the importance of this evaluation the teamshould not only be experts in the subject areas above they should also bewell known and respected by both INEDA and AID A team is expected to becomposed of a mix of Philippine and US consulrants or MissionAIDWashington personnel
The team will not have to collect and analyze a great deal of information because there have been very few implementation actions to date Thus asmall team of perhaps three or maybe four highly qualified persons should be sufficient

B Communication Problems
The fact that the projects principal problems are rooted in basic
interpretational differences would seem to indicate problems in the
communication process between the USAID Mission and the Philippine Government
throuch its implementing agency the NEDA concerning the project indeed
for various reasons this appears to have been the case from the design stage
to at least the early stages of project implementation
1 Project design stage
Because of pressures brought on by approaching US budgetary deadlines in
mid-1983 there was little opportunity for any extensive discussion between
the ilission and the INEDA on the Project Paper which was prepared by the
Mission Staff Indications of the basic differences in expectations with
respect to the approach to project implementation thus began to surface only
in the course of implementation itself as the TDI-PMO based at NEDA began to
endorse for the Missions clearanceapproval specific proposals to use project
funds for non-training activities including equipment procurement
On this particular issue it may be pointed out that the language of the
Project Pap-- was by no means unequivocal in thie discussion of Submission
of Issue Proposals and Selection of issue Activities paragraphs 1 and 2 of
p 11 state that
A wide variety of organizations are expected to submit proposals and
thus be eligible for implementing ac-ivities These include (a) units
within NEDA (b)GOP agencies (c) Local governments (d)Government

TWo soecific situations contributed to the insufficiency of
communia-ions rirstly the NJEDA TDI-Project -lanagement and the USAID
Ilission differed on the particular issue of USAID representation in the
Project Steering Committee The Mission had expected to be an ex-officio
member of the Committee the TDI-Project Managements position on the other
hand vias that since the USAIDs role in the Steering Committee as specified
in the Project Agreement was advisory USAID participation in Steering
Committee meetinQs would be strictly on a need basis
Secondly neither the USAID nor more importantly even the NEDA TDI-PM1O
was devoting much time to the project
For example Project Impl ementation Letters setting out pertinent USAID
implementing guidelines and procedures were not issued early on The only
issuance of this nature (PIL NJo 3) came in January 1985 seventeen (17)
months after signing of the Project Agreement setting out the mechanism for
financing the Develoomen- Tssues Component (This represents a sharp contrast
to the Economic and Social Impact Analysis-Women in Development (ESIA-WID)
project in which within a little over three (3)months of the date of signing
of the Project Agreement at least five (5) PILs had been issued setting out
among other things criteria for satisfactory compliance with conditions
precedent guidelines for contracting and exemptions thereto and procedures
and documentation for requesting and liquidating AID Peso advances) Perhaps
this was due to USAID presumpions as to the extent of the project personnels
awareness of USAID rules and procedures

devel opment
0 Implementation Procedures
Following from the USAID premise of the broadest possible participation in
the policy formulation process the implementation procedures set out in the
Project Paper envisioned extensive use of seminars and conferences (about 30
to 40) in the entire course of project implementation from issue selection to
the presenta-ion of research findings and recommendations These procedures
were adopted in the implementation Plan of the DeveloDMnt issues Component
in the implementation o- zite project to-date however only one such
workshop-conFerence- has been nel d and this in October more tiian1985 two
years from the daze of signing of tne Project Agreemnt The purpose of this
workshop attended by representatives of various research institutions was to
publicize generate interest in and hopefully speed up research formulation
under the Development Issues Component of TDI
Significantly post-orkshop response to the project has been encouraging
wit~is aditionalproposals having already been received on topics in the
Research Agenca as ail as -n others related to it Still others are
currently under preparation From clnis standpoint much improvement may be

Coincidentally thirty-four j34) have been in long-term (one-year or more)
pr rams and twenty-five (25) in shorter programs
Based on the foregoing the training component of the TDI Project has to
date been proceeding by and large on schedule This notwithstanding however
it needs to be asked whether the component (including the training element of
the Development issues Component) has been operating in a manner consistent
with the training objectives of the project
B Objectives of Training Activities
As designed the training component of the TDI project was not only to
build upon but to improve on the General Participant Training (GPT) Program of
the 1970s Specifically whiie the GPT Program was observed to have lacked
focus on particular development issues or on specific human resource and
institutional development objectives that thereby limited its overall impact
training activities under the TDI project would support the institutional
objectives of requesting organizations contribute to improving manpower
skills critical to national and regional development and enhance capacities
related to the issues selected under the Development issues Component
Towards this end a survey of training needs of socio-economic
development-related government institutions was undertaken in the early stages
of the project On the basis of criteria approved by the project Steering
Committee survey responses were analyzed to come up with a prioritization of
agencies and of fields of study for funding under the projectshy

D Areas for gtnorovein
The foregoing general observations notwi thstanding however there are
definite areas for improvement in the operation and implementation of training
activities
o e-n viith the priorit zation scheme adopted while useful in guiding
the evaluation of specific requests fo training assistance leaves too much
room for flexibility in decision-making While the need for and the value of
flexibility in a program of this nature recognized too much it couldis of
easily lead to distortions in Program results That this has tended to be the
case is evident from the folloino
a) The predominance of gtEDA itself as recipient institution of the
training grants Of the fifty-nine (59) slots that had been made
available twen-y-two 2) or more thian a thi -d went to IEDA official s
and employees Relative to the slots that went to institutions in the
first priority list (43) the proportion is even higher at slightly
over half While a large proportion of project training funds going
to NEDA staff may be justifiable in terms of the institutions central
role in Philippine development plannin and policy-formulation such a
high proportion of resources going to a single agency is rather
excessive
b) Relatedly the predominance of fields of a general development nature
ie Economics Planning IMlanagement and Public Acimnistration and
Statistics in the fields of training supported under the project
These acounted for forty-four (44) of the fifty nne (59) slots
Again whlle the value of a broad perspective in policy-formulation is
recognized threo-fourtihs of the training allocation going into thi3
19shy
type of general zraining wou d seem to unduly undervalue tiie ieed for
more specza~ized types of poli cy anal vsis called for in many areas of
Phiippine development T is of course Dossble that these needs are
already being addressed tirou-gh projects other than the underone
consideration if so then - e present ellocation under the TDI
Project may well be jusified Unfortunately time constraints have
7 no- enabled -i-oser nvesiation of this mattershy
c) Funding of pr-grans in Law and Justice which though related to
socio economic development policy formulation is at best only
distantly so ParLicipation for instance in programs on American amp
internat-ional a as well as -n the US Legal System by members of
the Regional Trial Courts is to say the least difficult to justify
under tiis project However support towards laster s degrees in
Engineering of which rhere are two probably is justifiable as these
may be classified among the manpower skills critical to national and
regional development
d) Relative imbalance in the distribution of training slots between
participants from central offices and those from the regions Of the
fifty-nine (59) slots made available less than ten have gone to participants from the reg-onai offices Considering the thrust of the
present government towards genuine regionalzation including NEDAs
own interests improvements in this regard are especially called for
For instance the nei government is strengthening the role of the
Regional Development Council- and therefore these may be additional
training needs
_ According to the Hanager of the Participant Training Component this was in fact the case
The seconc road a-ea for improvemert is in monit-ori ng The establ i shment
of a sstem for monitoring of zrain n oarticioants both during and more
importantly after traind1n Was envsioned in thne project design The first
batch or tra nees iho went through one year programs in SY 1934 have been back
on the job for a ear and tiose wiho underwenr shorter programs have been back
for a longe period To cate hovever no back to office monitoring has been
undertken rendr in- di-ficut the assssent of traininc imDact relative to
obj ectives
E Usefulness of Training
Towards this end however limited interviews of immediate supervisors of
returned trai nees wiere carried out in this evaluation to obtain some feel for
the usefulness o1 training to the sponsoring institutions
in general the assessment of training impact has been very positive with
significant improvements observed in the overall depth and breadth of
analytical outputs of returned trainees in one instance however even
before the outset of tne training program the participant was transferred to
another unit to which immediate applicabilit of the training eventua1y
received was minimal thoh nonethelss potentially useful
On the transfer of knowledgeskills acquired to other personnel of the
sponsoring Insitutions the general approach has been through informal
discussions on the j o
- 21 -
V PRQ ECT SGJ I IT AND OUTLOOK
Implementation problems notwithstanding current evidence supports the
continued usefulness off the project towards the objective of building up
institutional capacities for policy analysis and decision-making in the
PhiliPPine bureaucracy The Tax Administration and Compliance Study for
instance thouqh still in the process of finalization has already contributed
siqnificant inputs to the recent formulation of a new Tax Reform Package
Outputs of the on-going research on Sectoral Classification of Trade and
Inve ment Data are already being programmed for use in the current drafting
of the Philippine Development Plan for 1987-1992 Limited interviews have
also established the positive contributions of training supported under the
project in terms of improved overall quality of analytical work of returned
trainees
The potential impact of the project is further considerably enhanced by
the fact of a new government which is seriously engaged in a broad-ranging
effort to review and as needed recast the whole gamut of policies
structures and procedures that intimately affect both the current and the
future life of the nation
In terms of project operations recent developments augur well for
improvements not only in the pace of project implementation but also in terms
of broadening the projects overall impact In the case of the Development
Issues Component mention has already been made of positive expectations
resultina from the workshop on the Research Agenda conducted in late 1935
Significantly because of the materially improved response that resulted from
thc workshop the TDI-PMO has decided to convene similar workshops on a
regular basis possibly twice a year

unlikely the full ip1ementation of The project within the current PACD
Furthermore the Pr o- ed mod ficiDns in the operating scheme of the
training component ioulc also take some time to work out Accordingly the
7oTDI-P1O is exoected put forard to USAID a request for a two-year extension
of the current PASD f the project is extended then there will be need for
another evaiua-ion in two years
VI RECOMME IDATI OS
in light of all of the foregoing the following recommendations are herein
made with respect to the TDI project
1 The project should continue and the PACD extended by two years to
December 1990
2 Should the Precedinig reccmmendation be approved another evaluation of
the project should be schedule- in thc first half of 1988
3 To contribute to the easing of the countrys debt servicing
difficulties and in consideration of the diffused social benefits of the
project the entire unearmarked loan allocation to the project should be
converted to outright grant
4 To enhance smooth and timely implementation of the project as a whole
and in particular of the non-training elements of the Development issues
Component a clear resolution of the issues that have herein been identified
as having largely held back proect progress should be made and agreements
reached should be clearly set out in project implementation letters
Critical items in this regard are the whole apProach to project
implementation and the related question of compensation for government
personnel and the issue of USAID membership in the Project Steering

7 For reasons that have already been indicated elsewhere in this
report at of part ofleast the management the procedures of the Development
Issues component (which now excludes training) should be transferred or
subcontracted to the Philippine Institute for Development Studies (PIDS) which
has consideraile experience with managing research and working with USAID
8 To improve the implementation of the development issues component
(a) The Steering Committee especially in light of the priorities of
the new GOP administration should focus and prioritize the Agenda of Areas of
Research This should be done with the intent of selecting only a limited
number of development issues in order to concentrate efforts involve more
institutions in the same topic and culminate through a series of activities
in concrete policy recommendations
(b) TDI-PI0 should implement present plans for more frequent workshops
and advertisements to solicit research proposals and to broaden participation
(c) In addition high level NEDA officials should continue to endeavor
to involve directly other ministers and deputy ministers in the selection of
development issue topics research assignments and discussions of results
NEDA should continue to make readily available TDI resources to other
ministries
(d) The regular selection process should be made simpler and quicker
through such steps as greater discretionary power to the NEDA-TDI Project
Manager to approve proposals on already cleared topics without further
approval of the Steering Committee or USAIO up to a limit of say $15000
per proposal
(e) An alternative formechanism selecting consultants should be
designed to meet immediate short-term needs The NEDA-TDI project manager
should have greater authority to initiate on his own within topic guidelines
approved by the Steering Committee and USAID consultancy contracts This
authority snould be limited both as to amount of any individual contract say
$15000 and to the total amount of all such contracts for the year say
$100000
9 The Evaluation Team endorses the TDI-PMO proposals for improving the
overall effectiveness and impact of training activities Specifically
(a)A more detailed training plan for the balance of the project
duration should be prepared based on an updated assessment of institutional
training needs The team feels that in this assessment special attention
should be given to the needs of regional offices Further while maximum
adherence to the formulated plan is desirable provision for some degree of
flexibility should also be allowed to enable the project to respond to
unforeseen but urgent training requirements that may arise in the course of
implemfentation For this purpose ten (10) per cent of the uncommitted
balance of the training allocation could remain unprogrammed and availed of
largely on a need basis
(b) Institutional participation in the training component should be
broadened not so much however by increasing the number of participating
institutions (although possibly that too) but more through the provision of
proportionately more slots to institutions that have been determined to rank
high in the institutional prioritization scheme
(c) Participation from the regional levels should be increased and
perhaps even given priority
(d) Extension of funding support to training in suitable fields in
selected regional training institutions in the country should be undertaken
n this reard full consi deration should be given toi nci uding training
ororms 7 rv ate -c--nal insi tutions The proposal to explore the
devloomnt of a aster s roram in DcveloDment Economics at the UP in
Diliman is siMilarlI endorsed
10 7n add-isn to the forejoing a reassessment of the distribution of
ii-s is-ai r 1 ly t iclh general and te more
setor-soecifiPopo1 cy analysi s stud prcgrams should be unde rtaken to ensure
th t the latter type of neecs is indeed being adequately addressed through
thi-s rojett in comb na tion i - othr d or-assi sted training programs If
not tIen soe shi ftng in proportions should be effected
11 Finally to enable continuini assessment of the extent to which project ojectives for the training component are being achieved the
otng system envisaged nder the project should immediately be
establisned and activated

TRAINING AiND DEVELOPENT ISSUES PROJECT EVALUATION SCOPE OF CRK FOR EVAUTION
I THE PROJECT
Title Training and Development Issues Project (492-0340) Project Start July 29 1983 PACD December 31 1983 Funding $6000000 (TOTAL)
$4500000 (AID-funded) $1200000 (Grant) $3300000 (Loan) $1500000 (GOP)
Purpose The purpose of the project is to improve the capability of Philippine Government and other institutions to analyze development issues and to make sound and timely development-related decisions
Current Status The above-mentioned purpose is pursued through the implementation of two project components namely (1)Participant Training Component and (2) Development Issues Comoonent As of 31 December 1985 a total of 29 overseas and 15 local training participants nave been supported by the Participant Training Component Meanwhile the Development Issues Component has directed efforts toward the development of the technical base for effective policy analysis Through the conduct of three researches under the broad develoPment issues identified for project attention preparation of concept papers on development planningand policy issues and provision of support for 4 overseas the same
and 34 local training participants As of date the Participant Training Component has
obligated 609 p-r cent of the total loan appropriation it has received so far and 967 per cent of its total grant budget The Developmeit Issues Component on the other hand has obligated 437 per cent of the total loan appropriations and 164 per cent of its total grant budget
I PURPOSE AND TIING OF THE EVALUATION
This evaluation will assess the progress of the implementation of the TDI Project and make reccmmendations for maximizing the projects impact on the development efforts of the Aquino Government It will identify the successful project activities and attempt to explain the advantages these have over ess successful activities It plans to investigate the problems and issues which appear to have hampered or delayedimplementation of the less successful and to determine mechanisms to avoid or resolve them The evaluation also will identiFy and assess new approaches for using project resources to achieve project objectives
More soecifically it will focus on five general areas
a the current status of project implementationb exIec7ations and Perceptions of TDI project by NEDA and USAID and c factors affecting project implementation d selection of DI componenT issues and Training component participants
and e opportunities and mechanisms for improving the project
As scheduled in the project paper the first evaluation will be conducted in FY 86
Based on tne findings the evaluation should recommend whether basicchannes in theproject design and implementation Procedures are necessary The recommendatiors should indicate the advantages and disadvantages of the design and procedural changes advocated

IV TEAM COMIPOSITION
The evaluation team must exhibit a thorough understanding of the following subject areas
1 Operations of the GOP specifically of NEDA and OEM2 Philippine develoDment issues and how these relate to policies3 IMechanics of Ai0 and USAIDPhilippines and4 The nature of the relationshio between USAID and N-DA5 The develooment priorities and opportunities of the Aquino government
The teams comPosition should represent expertise in the fields of organizational planning and management policy-making evaluation and management of research and training activities Given the sensitivities surrounding this project and the importance of this evaluation the teamshould not only be experts in the subject areas above they should also bewell known and respected by both INEDA and AID A team is expected to becomposed of a mix of Philippine and US consulrants or MissionAIDWashington personnel
The team will not have to collect and analyze a great deal of information because there have been very few implementation actions to date Thus asmall team of perhaps three or maybe four highly qualified persons should be sufficient

B Communication Problems
The fact that the projects principal problems are rooted in basic
interpretational differences would seem to indicate problems in the
communication process between the USAID Mission and the Philippine Government
throuch its implementing agency the NEDA concerning the project indeed
for various reasons this appears to have been the case from the design stage
to at least the early stages of project implementation
1 Project design stage
Because of pressures brought on by approaching US budgetary deadlines in
mid-1983 there was little opportunity for any extensive discussion between
the ilission and the INEDA on the Project Paper which was prepared by the
Mission Staff Indications of the basic differences in expectations with
respect to the approach to project implementation thus began to surface only
in the course of implementation itself as the TDI-PMO based at NEDA began to
endorse for the Missions clearanceapproval specific proposals to use project
funds for non-training activities including equipment procurement
On this particular issue it may be pointed out that the language of the
Project Pap-- was by no means unequivocal in thie discussion of Submission
of Issue Proposals and Selection of issue Activities paragraphs 1 and 2 of
p 11 state that
A wide variety of organizations are expected to submit proposals and
thus be eligible for implementing ac-ivities These include (a) units
within NEDA (b)GOP agencies (c) Local governments (d)Government

TWo soecific situations contributed to the insufficiency of
communia-ions rirstly the NJEDA TDI-Project -lanagement and the USAID
Ilission differed on the particular issue of USAID representation in the
Project Steering Committee The Mission had expected to be an ex-officio
member of the Committee the TDI-Project Managements position on the other
hand vias that since the USAIDs role in the Steering Committee as specified
in the Project Agreement was advisory USAID participation in Steering
Committee meetinQs would be strictly on a need basis
Secondly neither the USAID nor more importantly even the NEDA TDI-PM1O
was devoting much time to the project
For example Project Impl ementation Letters setting out pertinent USAID
implementing guidelines and procedures were not issued early on The only
issuance of this nature (PIL NJo 3) came in January 1985 seventeen (17)
months after signing of the Project Agreement setting out the mechanism for
financing the Develoomen- Tssues Component (This represents a sharp contrast
to the Economic and Social Impact Analysis-Women in Development (ESIA-WID)
project in which within a little over three (3)months of the date of signing
of the Project Agreement at least five (5) PILs had been issued setting out
among other things criteria for satisfactory compliance with conditions
precedent guidelines for contracting and exemptions thereto and procedures
and documentation for requesting and liquidating AID Peso advances) Perhaps
this was due to USAID presumpions as to the extent of the project personnels
awareness of USAID rules and procedures

an prioritize poi cy research issues and proposals that bear on Philippine
devel opment
0 Implementation Procedures
Following from the USAID premise of the broadest possible participation in
the policy formulation process the implementation procedures set out in the
Project Paper envisioned extensive use of seminars and conferences (about 30
to 40) in the entire course of project implementation from issue selection to
the presenta-ion of research findings and recommendations These procedures
were adopted in the implementation Plan of the DeveloDMnt issues Component
in the implementation o- zite project to-date however only one such
workshop-conFerence- has been nel d and this in October more tiian1985 two
years from the daze of signing of tne Project Agreemnt The purpose of this
workshop attended by representatives of various research institutions was to
publicize generate interest in and hopefully speed up research formulation
under the Development Issues Component of TDI
Significantly post-orkshop response to the project has been encouraging
wit~is aditionalproposals having already been received on topics in the
Research Agenca as ail as -n others related to it Still others are
currently under preparation From clnis standpoint much improvement may be
expected in the pace of mpement3ation of at least the research element of the
5Development -ssues Component within the coming monthsshy
5 The Steering Committee was scheduled to meet on 14 July 1986 at which approval of research proposals 4ith a total cost of just under $200000 is expected

Coincidentally thirty-four j34) have been in long-term (one-year or more)
pr rams and twenty-five (25) in shorter programs
Based on the foregoing the training component of the TDI Project has to
date been proceeding by and large on schedule This notwithstanding however
it needs to be asked whether the component (including the training element of
the Development issues Component) has been operating in a manner consistent
with the training objectives of the project
B Objectives of Training Activities
As designed the training component of the TDI project was not only to
build upon but to improve on the General Participant Training (GPT) Program of
the 1970s Specifically whiie the GPT Program was observed to have lacked
focus on particular development issues or on specific human resource and
institutional development objectives that thereby limited its overall impact
training activities under the TDI project would support the institutional
objectives of requesting organizations contribute to improving manpower
skills critical to national and regional development and enhance capacities
related to the issues selected under the Development issues Component
Towards this end a survey of training needs of socio-economic
development-related government institutions was undertaken in the early stages
of the project On the basis of criteria approved by the project Steering
Committee survey responses were analyzed to come up with a prioritization of
agencies and of fields of study for funding under the projectshy

D Areas for gtnorovein
The foregoing general observations notwi thstanding however there are
definite areas for improvement in the operation and implementation of training
activities
o e-n viith the priorit zation scheme adopted while useful in guiding
the evaluation of specific requests fo training assistance leaves too much
room for flexibility in decision-making While the need for and the value of
flexibility in a program of this nature recognized too much it couldis of
easily lead to distortions in Program results That this has tended to be the
case is evident from the folloino
a) The predominance of gtEDA itself as recipient institution of the
training grants Of the fifty-nine (59) slots that had been made
available twen-y-two 2) or more thian a thi -d went to IEDA official s
and employees Relative to the slots that went to institutions in the
first priority list (43) the proportion is even higher at slightly
over half While a large proportion of project training funds going
to NEDA staff may be justifiable in terms of the institutions central
role in Philippine development plannin and policy-formulation such a
high proportion of resources going to a single agency is rather
excessive
b) Relatedly the predominance of fields of a general development nature
ie Economics Planning IMlanagement and Public Acimnistration and
Statistics in the fields of training supported under the project
These acounted for forty-four (44) of the fifty nne (59) slots
Again whlle the value of a broad perspective in policy-formulation is
recognized threo-fourtihs of the training allocation going into thi3
19shy
type of general zraining wou d seem to unduly undervalue tiie ieed for
more specza~ized types of poli cy anal vsis called for in many areas of
Phiippine development T is of course Dossble that these needs are
already being addressed tirou-gh projects other than the underone
consideration if so then - e present ellocation under the TDI
Project may well be jusified Unfortunately time constraints have
7 no- enabled -i-oser nvesiation of this mattershy
c) Funding of pr-grans in Law and Justice which though related to
socio economic development policy formulation is at best only
distantly so ParLicipation for instance in programs on American amp
internat-ional a as well as -n the US Legal System by members of
the Regional Trial Courts is to say the least difficult to justify
under tiis project However support towards laster s degrees in
Engineering of which rhere are two probably is justifiable as these
may be classified among the manpower skills critical to national and
regional development
d) Relative imbalance in the distribution of training slots between
participants from central offices and those from the regions Of the
fifty-nine (59) slots made available less than ten have gone to participants from the reg-onai offices Considering the thrust of the
present government towards genuine regionalzation including NEDAs
own interests improvements in this regard are especially called for
For instance the nei government is strengthening the role of the
Regional Development Council- and therefore these may be additional
training needs
_ According to the Hanager of the Participant Training Component this was in fact the case
The seconc road a-ea for improvemert is in monit-ori ng The establ i shment
of a sstem for monitoring of zrain n oarticioants both during and more

E Usefulness of Training
Towards this end however limited interviews of immediate supervisors of
returned trai nees wiere carried out in this evaluation to obtain some feel for
the usefulness o1 training to the sponsoring institutions
in general the assessment of training impact has been very positive with
significant improvements observed in the overall depth and breadth of
analytical outputs of returned trainees in one instance however even
before the outset of tne training program the participant was transferred to
another unit to which immediate applicabilit of the training eventua1y
received was minimal thoh nonethelss potentially useful
On the transfer of knowledgeskills acquired to other personnel of the
sponsoring Insitutions the general approach has been through informal
discussions on the j o

V PRQ ECT SGJ I IT AND OUTLOOK
Implementation problems notwithstanding current evidence supports the
continued usefulness off the project towards the objective of building up
institutional capacities for policy analysis and decision-making in the
PhiliPPine bureaucracy The Tax Administration and Compliance Study for
instance thouqh still in the process of finalization has already contributed
siqnificant inputs to the recent formulation of a new Tax Reform Package
Outputs of the on-going research on Sectoral Classification of Trade and
Inve ment Data are already being programmed for use in the current drafting
of the Philippine Development Plan for 1987-1992 Limited interviews have
also established the positive contributions of training supported under the
project in terms of improved overall quality of analytical work of returned
trainees
The potential impact of the project is further considerably enhanced by
the fact of a new government which is seriously engaged in a broad-ranging
effort to review and as needed recast the whole gamut of policies
structures and procedures that intimately affect both the current and the
future life of the nation
In terms of project operations recent developments augur well for
improvements not only in the pace of project implementation but also in terms
of broadening the projects overall impact In the case of the Development
Issues Component mention has already been made of positive expectations
resultina from the workshop on the Research Agenda conducted in late 1935
Significantly because of the materially improved response that resulted from
thc workshop the TDI-PMO has decided to convene similar workshops on a
regular basis possibly twice a year

unlikely the full ip1ementation of The project within the current PACD
Furthermore the Pr o- ed mod ficiDns in the operating scheme of the
training component ioulc also take some time to work out Accordingly the
7oTDI-P1O is exoected put forard to USAID a request for a two-year extension
of the current PASD f the project is extended then there will be need for
another evaiua-ion in two years
VI RECOMME IDATI OS
in light of all of the foregoing the following recommendations are herein
made with respect to the TDI project
1 The project should continue and the PACD extended by two years to
December 1990
2 Should the Precedinig reccmmendation be approved another evaluation of
the project should be schedule- in thc first half of 1988
3 To contribute to the easing of the countrys debt servicing
difficulties and in consideration of the diffused social benefits of the
project the entire unearmarked loan allocation to the project should be
converted to outright grant
4 To enhance smooth and timely implementation of the project as a whole
and in particular of the non-training elements of the Development issues
Component a clear resolution of the issues that have herein been identified
as having largely held back proect progress should be made and agreements
reached should be clearly set out in project implementation letters
Critical items in this regard are the whole apProach to project
implementation and the related question of compensation for government
personnel and the issue of USAID membership in the Project Steering

7 For reasons that have already been indicated elsewhere in this
report at of part ofleast the management the procedures of the Development
Issues component (which now excludes training) should be transferred or
subcontracted to the Philippine Institute for Development Studies (PIDS) which
has consideraile experience with managing research and working with USAID
8 To improve the implementation of the development issues component
(a) The Steering Committee especially in light of the priorities of
the new GOP administration should focus and prioritize the Agenda of Areas of
Research This should be done with the intent of selecting only a limited
number of development issues in order to concentrate efforts involve more
institutions in the same topic and culminate through a series of activities
in concrete policy recommendations
(b) TDI-PI0 should implement present plans for more frequent workshops
and advertisements to solicit research proposals and to broaden participation
(c) In addition high level NEDA officials should continue to endeavor
to involve directly other ministers and deputy ministers in the selection of
development issue topics research assignments and discussions of results
NEDA should continue to make readily available TDI resources to other
ministries
(d) The regular selection process should be made simpler and quicker
through such steps as greater discretionary power to the NEDA-TDI Project
Manager to approve proposals on already cleared topics without further
approval of the Steering Committee or USAIO up to a limit of say $15000
per proposal
(e) An alternative formechanism selecting consultants should be
designed to meet immediate short-term needs The NEDA-TDI project manager
should have greater authority to initiate on his own within topic guidelines
approved by the Steering Committee and USAID consultancy contracts This
authority snould be limited both as to amount of any individual contract say
$15000 and to the total amount of all such contracts for the year say
$100000
9 The Evaluation Team endorses the TDI-PMO proposals for improving the
overall effectiveness and impact of training activities Specifically
(a)A more detailed training plan for the balance of the project
duration should be prepared based on an updated assessment of institutional
training needs The team feels that in this assessment special attention
should be given to the needs of regional offices Further while maximum
adherence to the formulated plan is desirable provision for some degree of
flexibility should also be allowed to enable the project to respond to
unforeseen but urgent training requirements that may arise in the course of
implemfentation For this purpose ten (10) per cent of the uncommitted
balance of the training allocation could remain unprogrammed and availed of
largely on a need basis
(b) Institutional participation in the training component should be
broadened not so much however by increasing the number of participating
institutions (although possibly that too) but more through the provision of
proportionately more slots to institutions that have been determined to rank
high in the institutional prioritization scheme
(c) Participation from the regional levels should be increased and
perhaps even given priority
(d) Extension of funding support to training in suitable fields in
selected regional training institutions in the country should be undertaken
n this reard full consi deration should be given toi nci uding training
ororms 7 rv ate -c--nal insi tutions The proposal to explore the

not tIen soe shi ftng in proportions should be effected
11 Finally to enable continuini assessment of the extent to which project ojectives for the training component are being achieved the
otng system envisaged nder the project should immediately be
establisned and activated

$4500000 (AID-funded) $1200000 (Grant) $3300000 (Loan) $1500000 (GOP)
Purpose The purpose of the project is to improve the capability of Philippine Government and other institutions to analyze development issues and to make sound and timely development-related decisions
Current Status The above-mentioned purpose is pursued through the implementation of two project components namely (1)Participant Training Component and (2) Development Issues Comoonent As of 31 December 1985 a total of 29 overseas and 15 local training participants nave been supported by the Participant Training Component Meanwhile the Development Issues Component has directed efforts toward the development of the technical base for effective policy analysis Through the conduct of three researches under the broad develoPment issues identified for project attention preparation of concept papers on development planningand policy issues and provision of support for 4 overseas the same
and 34 local training participants As of date the Participant Training Component has
obligated 609 p-r cent of the total loan appropriation it has received so far and 967 per cent of its total grant budget The Developmeit Issues Component on the other hand has obligated 437 per cent of the total loan appropriations and 164 per cent of its total grant budget
I PURPOSE AND TIING OF THE EVALUATION
This evaluation will assess the progress of the implementation of the TDI Project and make reccmmendations for maximizing the projects impact on the development efforts of the Aquino Government It will identify the successful project activities and attempt to explain the advantages these have over ess successful activities It plans to investigate the problems and issues which appear to have hampered or delayedimplementation of the less successful and to determine mechanisms to avoid or resolve them The evaluation also will identiFy and assess new approaches for using project resources to achieve project objectives
More soecifically it will focus on five general areas
a the current status of project implementationb exIec7ations and Perceptions of TDI project by NEDA and USAID and c factors affecting project implementation d selection of DI componenT issues and Training component participants
and e opportunities and mechanisms for improving the project
As scheduled in the project paper the first evaluation will be conducted in FY 86
Based on tne findings the evaluation should recommend whether basicchannes in theproject design and implementation Procedures are necessary The recommendatiors should indicate the advantages and disadvantages of the design and procedural changes advocated
III QUESTIONS FOR THE EVALUATION TEAM
A Current Status

B Expectations and Perceotions
What are NEDAs and AIDs expectations and perceptions regarding the project design implementation procedures factors hinderingimplementation beneficiary groups etc What are AIDs expectations of the NEDA TDI-Project Management Office (TDI-PMO) regarding the latters implementation procedures What are TDI-PMO expectations of USAID regarding project supportbackstopping How do NEDAs and AIDs percepticns compare with actual implementation procedures Are both sidessatisfied with the manner by which the implementation process is proceeding 1f not what are the areas and reasons for dissatisfaction
C Factors Affectino Project Imolementation
What factors explain the progress or lack of progress of both the trainingand development issues components What are the major factors contributing to delays in project implmentation Are the delays a function of project design How were the guidelines in the PP and other ooverning documents applied Are the assumptions underlying the projectdesign and iMPlementation plans valid How can the NEDA TDi-ProjectManagement Office (TDI-PMO) further raise its institutional capability eg staff availability and appropriate organizational structure to implement the plan as scheduled How can USAID further improve itsbackstopping for the project Are there external factors eg lack of interest in potential participant organizations affectingimplementation Are there budget-related problems such provision ofas

IV TEAM COMIPOSITION
The evaluation team must exhibit a thorough understanding of the following subject areas
1 Operations of the GOP specifically of NEDA and OEM2 Philippine develoDment issues and how these relate to policies3 IMechanics of Ai0 and USAIDPhilippines and4 The nature of the relationshio between USAID and N-DA5 The develooment priorities and opportunities of the Aquino government
The teams comPosition should represent expertise in the fields of organizational planning and management policy-making evaluation and management of research and training activities Given the sensitivities surrounding this project and the importance of this evaluation the teamshould not only be experts in the subject areas above they should also bewell known and respected by both INEDA and AID A team is expected to becomposed of a mix of Philippine and US consulrants or MissionAIDWashington personnel
The team will not have to collect and analyze a great deal of information because there have been very few implementation actions to date Thus asmall team of perhaps three or maybe four highly qualified persons should be sufficient

TWo soecific situations contributed to the insufficiency of
communia-ions rirstly the NJEDA TDI-Project -lanagement and the USAID
Ilission differed on the particular issue of USAID representation in the
Project Steering Committee The Mission had expected to be an ex-officio
member of the Committee the TDI-Project Managements position on the other
hand vias that since the USAIDs role in the Steering Committee as specified
in the Project Agreement was advisory USAID participation in Steering
Committee meetinQs would be strictly on a need basis
Secondly neither the USAID nor more importantly even the NEDA TDI-PM1O
was devoting much time to the project
For example Project Impl ementation Letters setting out pertinent USAID
implementing guidelines and procedures were not issued early on The only
issuance of this nature (PIL NJo 3) came in January 1985 seventeen (17)
months after signing of the Project Agreement setting out the mechanism for
financing the Develoomen- Tssues Component (This represents a sharp contrast
to the Economic and Social Impact Analysis-Women in Development (ESIA-WID)
project in which within a little over three (3)months of the date of signing
of the Project Agreement at least five (5) PILs had been issued setting out
among other things criteria for satisfactory compliance with conditions
precedent guidelines for contracting and exemptions thereto and procedures
and documentation for requesting and liquidating AID Peso advances) Perhaps
this was due to USAID presumpions as to the extent of the project personnels
awareness of USAID rules and procedures

0 Implementation Procedures
Following from the USAID premise of the broadest possible participation in
the policy formulation process the implementation procedures set out in the
Project Paper envisioned extensive use of seminars and conferences (about 30
to 40) in the entire course of project implementation from issue selection to
the presenta-ion of research findings and recommendations These procedures
were adopted in the implementation Plan of the DeveloDMnt issues Component
in the implementation o- zite project to-date however only one such
workshop-conFerence- has been nel d and this in October more tiian1985 two
years from the daze of signing of tne Project Agreemnt The purpose of this
workshop attended by representatives of various research institutions was to
publicize generate interest in and hopefully speed up research formulation
under the Development Issues Component of TDI
Significantly post-orkshop response to the project has been encouraging
wit~is aditionalproposals having already been received on topics in the
Research Agenca as ail as -n others related to it Still others are
currently under preparation From clnis standpoint much improvement may be
expected in the pace of mpement3ation of at least the research element of the
5Development -ssues Component within the coming monthsshy
5 The Steering Committee was scheduled to meet on 14 July 1986 at which approval of research proposals 4ith a total cost of just under $200000 is expected

Coincidentally thirty-four j34) have been in long-term (one-year or more)
pr rams and twenty-five (25) in shorter programs
Based on the foregoing the training component of the TDI Project has to
date been proceeding by and large on schedule This notwithstanding however
it needs to be asked whether the component (including the training element of
the Development issues Component) has been operating in a manner consistent
with the training objectives of the project
B Objectives of Training Activities
As designed the training component of the TDI project was not only to
build upon but to improve on the General Participant Training (GPT) Program of
the 1970s Specifically whiie the GPT Program was observed to have lacked
focus on particular development issues or on specific human resource and
institutional development objectives that thereby limited its overall impact
training activities under the TDI project would support the institutional
objectives of requesting organizations contribute to improving manpower
skills critical to national and regional development and enhance capacities
related to the issues selected under the Development issues Component
Towards this end a survey of training needs of socio-economic
development-related government institutions was undertaken in the early stages
of the project On the basis of criteria approved by the project Steering
Committee survey responses were analyzed to come up with a prioritization of
agencies and of fields of study for funding under the projectshy

D Areas for gtnorovein
The foregoing general observations notwi thstanding however there are
definite areas for improvement in the operation and implementation of training
activities
o e-n viith the priorit zation scheme adopted while useful in guiding
the evaluation of specific requests fo training assistance leaves too much
room for flexibility in decision-making While the need for and the value of
flexibility in a program of this nature recognized too much it couldis of
easily lead to distortions in Program results That this has tended to be the
case is evident from the folloino
a) The predominance of gtEDA itself as recipient institution of the
training grants Of the fifty-nine (59) slots that had been made
available twen-y-two 2) or more thian a thi -d went to IEDA official s
and employees Relative to the slots that went to institutions in the
first priority list (43) the proportion is even higher at slightly
over half While a large proportion of project training funds going
to NEDA staff may be justifiable in terms of the institutions central
role in Philippine development plannin and policy-formulation such a
high proportion of resources going to a single agency is rather
excessive
b) Relatedly the predominance of fields of a general development nature
ie Economics Planning IMlanagement and Public Acimnistration and
Statistics in the fields of training supported under the project
These acounted for forty-four (44) of the fifty nne (59) slots
Again whlle the value of a broad perspective in policy-formulation is
recognized threo-fourtihs of the training allocation going into thi3
19shy
type of general zraining wou d seem to unduly undervalue tiie ieed for
more specza~ized types of poli cy anal vsis called for in many areas of
Phiippine development T is of course Dossble that these needs are
already being addressed tirou-gh projects other than the underone
consideration if so then - e present ellocation under the TDI
Project may well be jusified Unfortunately time constraints have
7 no- enabled -i-oser nvesiation of this mattershy
c) Funding of pr-grans in Law and Justice which though related to
socio economic development policy formulation is at best only
distantly so ParLicipation for instance in programs on American amp
internat-ional a as well as -n the US Legal System by members of
the Regional Trial Courts is to say the least difficult to justify
under tiis project However support towards laster s degrees in
Engineering of which rhere are two probably is justifiable as these
may be classified among the manpower skills critical to national and
regional development
d) Relative imbalance in the distribution of training slots between
participants from central offices and those from the regions Of the
fifty-nine (59) slots made available less than ten have gone to participants from the reg-onai offices Considering the thrust of the
present government towards genuine regionalzation including NEDAs
own interests improvements in this regard are especially called for
For instance the nei government is strengthening the role of the
Regional Development Council- and therefore these may be additional
training needs
_ According to the Hanager of the Participant Training Component this was in fact the case
The seconc road a-ea for improvemert is in monit-ori ng The establ i shment
of a sstem for monitoring of zrain n oarticioants both during and more
importantly after traind1n Was envsioned in thne project design The first
batch or tra nees iho went through one year programs in SY 1934 have been back
on the job for a ear and tiose wiho underwenr shorter programs have been back
for a longe period To cate hovever no back to office monitoring has been
undertken rendr in- di-ficut the assssent of traininc imDact relative to
obj ectives
E Usefulness of Training
Towards this end however limited interviews of immediate supervisors of
returned trai nees wiere carried out in this evaluation to obtain some feel for
the usefulness o1 training to the sponsoring institutions
in general the assessment of training impact has been very positive with
significant improvements observed in the overall depth and breadth of
analytical outputs of returned trainees in one instance however even
before the outset of tne training program the participant was transferred to
another unit to which immediate applicabilit of the training eventua1y
received was minimal thoh nonethelss potentially useful
On the transfer of knowledgeskills acquired to other personnel of the
sponsoring Insitutions the general approach has been through informal
discussions on the j o
- 21 -
V PRQ ECT SGJ I IT AND OUTLOOK
Implementation problems notwithstanding current evidence supports the
continued usefulness off the project towards the objective of building up
institutional capacities for policy analysis and decision-making in the
PhiliPPine bureaucracy The Tax Administration and Compliance Study for
instance thouqh still in the process of finalization has already contributed
siqnificant inputs to the recent formulation of a new Tax Reform Package
Outputs of the on-going research on Sectoral Classification of Trade and
Inve ment Data are already being programmed for use in the current drafting
of the Philippine Development Plan for 1987-1992 Limited interviews have
also established the positive contributions of training supported under the
project in terms of improved overall quality of analytical work of returned
trainees
The potential impact of the project is further considerably enhanced by
the fact of a new government which is seriously engaged in a broad-ranging
effort to review and as needed recast the whole gamut of policies
structures and procedures that intimately affect both the current and the
future life of the nation
In terms of project operations recent developments augur well for
improvements not only in the pace of project implementation but also in terms
of broadening the projects overall impact In the case of the Development
Issues Component mention has already been made of positive expectations
resultina from the workshop on the Research Agenda conducted in late 1935
Significantly because of the materially improved response that resulted from
thc workshop the TDI-PMO has decided to convene similar workshops on a
regular basis possibly twice a year

unlikely the full ip1ementation of The project within the current PACD
Furthermore the Pr o- ed mod ficiDns in the operating scheme of the
training component ioulc also take some time to work out Accordingly the
7oTDI-P1O is exoected put forard to USAID a request for a two-year extension
of the current PASD f the project is extended then there will be need for
another evaiua-ion in two years
VI RECOMME IDATI OS
in light of all of the foregoing the following recommendations are herein
made with respect to the TDI project
1 The project should continue and the PACD extended by two years to
December 1990
2 Should the Precedinig reccmmendation be approved another evaluation of
the project should be schedule- in thc first half of 1988
3 To contribute to the easing of the countrys debt servicing
difficulties and in consideration of the diffused social benefits of the
project the entire unearmarked loan allocation to the project should be
converted to outright grant
4 To enhance smooth and timely implementation of the project as a whole
and in particular of the non-training elements of the Development issues
Component a clear resolution of the issues that have herein been identified
as having largely held back proect progress should be made and agreements
reached should be clearly set out in project implementation letters
Critical items in this regard are the whole apProach to project
implementation and the related question of compensation for government
personnel and the issue of USAID membership in the Project Steering

7 For reasons that have already been indicated elsewhere in this
report at of part ofleast the management the procedures of the Development
Issues component (which now excludes training) should be transferred or
subcontracted to the Philippine Institute for Development Studies (PIDS) which
has consideraile experience with managing research and working with USAID
8 To improve the implementation of the development issues component
(a) The Steering Committee especially in light of the priorities of
the new GOP administration should focus and prioritize the Agenda of Areas of
Research This should be done with the intent of selecting only a limited
number of development issues in order to concentrate efforts involve more
institutions in the same topic and culminate through a series of activities
in concrete policy recommendations
(b) TDI-PI0 should implement present plans for more frequent workshops
and advertisements to solicit research proposals and to broaden participation
(c) In addition high level NEDA officials should continue to endeavor
to involve directly other ministers and deputy ministers in the selection of
development issue topics research assignments and discussions of results
NEDA should continue to make readily available TDI resources to other
ministries
(d) The regular selection process should be made simpler and quicker
through such steps as greater discretionary power to the NEDA-TDI Project
Manager to approve proposals on already cleared topics without further
approval of the Steering Committee or USAIO up to a limit of say $15000
per proposal
(e) An alternative formechanism selecting consultants should be
designed to meet immediate short-term needs The NEDA-TDI project manager
should have greater authority to initiate on his own within topic guidelines
approved by the Steering Committee and USAID consultancy contracts This
authority snould be limited both as to amount of any individual contract say
$15000 and to the total amount of all such contracts for the year say
$100000
9 The Evaluation Team endorses the TDI-PMO proposals for improving the
overall effectiveness and impact of training activities Specifically
(a)A more detailed training plan for the balance of the project
duration should be prepared based on an updated assessment of institutional
training needs The team feels that in this assessment special attention
should be given to the needs of regional offices Further while maximum
adherence to the formulated plan is desirable provision for some degree of
flexibility should also be allowed to enable the project to respond to
unforeseen but urgent training requirements that may arise in the course of
implemfentation For this purpose ten (10) per cent of the uncommitted
balance of the training allocation could remain unprogrammed and availed of
largely on a need basis
(b) Institutional participation in the training component should be
broadened not so much however by increasing the number of participating
institutions (although possibly that too) but more through the provision of
proportionately more slots to institutions that have been determined to rank
high in the institutional prioritization scheme
(c) Participation from the regional levels should be increased and
perhaps even given priority
(d) Extension of funding support to training in suitable fields in
selected regional training institutions in the country should be undertaken
n this reard full consi deration should be given toi nci uding training

Title Training and Development Issues Project (492-0340) Project Start July 29 1983 PACD December 31 1983 Funding $6000000 (TOTAL)
$4500000 (AID-funded) $1200000 (Grant) $3300000 (Loan) $1500000 (GOP)
Purpose The purpose of the project is to improve the capability of Philippine Government and other institutions to analyze development issues and to make sound and timely development-related decisions
Current Status The above-mentioned purpose is pursued through the implementation of two project components namely (1)Participant Training Component and (2) Development Issues Comoonent As of 31 December 1985 a total of 29 overseas and 15 local training participants nave been supported by the Participant Training Component Meanwhile the Development Issues Component has directed efforts toward the development of the technical base for effective policy analysis Through the conduct of three researches under the broad develoPment issues identified for project attention preparation of concept papers on development planningand policy issues and provision of support for 4 overseas the same
and 34 local training participants As of date the Participant Training Component has
obligated 609 p-r cent of the total loan appropriation it has received so far and 967 per cent of its total grant budget The Developmeit Issues Component on the other hand has obligated 437 per cent of the total loan appropriations and 164 per cent of its total grant budget
I PURPOSE AND TIING OF THE EVALUATION
This evaluation will assess the progress of the implementation of the TDI Project and make reccmmendations for maximizing the projects impact on the development efforts of the Aquino Government It will identify the successful project activities and attempt to explain the advantages these have over ess successful activities It plans to investigate the problems and issues which appear to have hampered or delayedimplementation of the less successful and to determine mechanisms to avoid or resolve them The evaluation also will identiFy and assess new approaches for using project resources to achieve project objectives
More soecifically it will focus on five general areas
a the current status of project implementationb exIec7ations and Perceptions of TDI project by NEDA and USAID and c factors affecting project implementation d selection of DI componenT issues and Training component participants
and e opportunities and mechanisms for improving the project
As scheduled in the project paper the first evaluation will be conducted in FY 86
Based on tne findings the evaluation should recommend whether basicchannes in theproject design and implementation Procedures are necessary The recommendatiors should indicate the advantages and disadvantages of the design and procedural changes advocated
III QUESTIONS FOR THE EVALUATION TEAM

IV TEAM COMIPOSITION
The evaluation team must exhibit a thorough understanding of the following subject areas
1 Operations of the GOP specifically of NEDA and OEM2 Philippine develoDment issues and how these relate to policies3 IMechanics of Ai0 and USAIDPhilippines and4 The nature of the relationshio between USAID and N-DA5 The develooment priorities and opportunities of the Aquino government
The teams comPosition should represent expertise in the fields of organizational planning and management policy-making evaluation and management of research and training activities Given the sensitivities surrounding this project and the importance of this evaluation the teamshould not only be experts in the subject areas above they should also bewell known and respected by both INEDA and AID A team is expected to becomposed of a mix of Philippine and US consulrants or MissionAIDWashington personnel
The team will not have to collect and analyze a great deal of information because there have been very few implementation actions to date Thus asmall team of perhaps three or maybe four highly qualified persons should be sufficient

TWo soecific situations contributed to the insufficiency of
communia-ions rirstly the NJEDA TDI-Project -lanagement and the USAID
Ilission differed on the particular issue of USAID representation in the
Project Steering Committee The Mission had expected to be an ex-officio
member of the Committee the TDI-Project Managements position on the other
hand vias that since the USAIDs role in the Steering Committee as specified
in the Project Agreement was advisory USAID participation in Steering
Committee meetinQs would be strictly on a need basis
Secondly neither the USAID nor more importantly even the NEDA TDI-PM1O
was devoting much time to the project
For example Project Impl ementation Letters setting out pertinent USAID
implementing guidelines and procedures were not issued early on The only
issuance of this nature (PIL NJo 3) came in January 1985 seventeen (17)
months after signing of the Project Agreement setting out the mechanism for
financing the Develoomen- Tssues Component (This represents a sharp contrast
to the Economic and Social Impact Analysis-Women in Development (ESIA-WID)
project in which within a little over three (3)months of the date of signing
of the Project Agreement at least five (5) PILs had been issued setting out
among other things criteria for satisfactory compliance with conditions
precedent guidelines for contracting and exemptions thereto and procedures
and documentation for requesting and liquidating AID Peso advances) Perhaps
this was due to USAID presumpions as to the extent of the project personnels
awareness of USAID rules and procedures

devel opment
0 Implementation Procedures
Following from the USAID premise of the broadest possible participation in
the policy formulation process the implementation procedures set out in the
Project Paper envisioned extensive use of seminars and conferences (about 30
to 40) in the entire course of project implementation from issue selection to
the presenta-ion of research findings and recommendations These procedures
were adopted in the implementation Plan of the DeveloDMnt issues Component
in the implementation o- zite project to-date however only one such
workshop-conFerence- has been nel d and this in October more tiian1985 two
years from the daze of signing of tne Project Agreemnt The purpose of this
workshop attended by representatives of various research institutions was to
publicize generate interest in and hopefully speed up research formulation
under the Development Issues Component of TDI
Significantly post-orkshop response to the project has been encouraging
wit~is aditionalproposals having already been received on topics in the
Research Agenca as ail as -n others related to it Still others are
currently under preparation From clnis standpoint much improvement may be
expected in the pace of mpement3ation of at least the research element of the
5Development -ssues Component within the coming monthsshy
5 The Steering Committee was scheduled to meet on 14 July 1986 at which approval of research proposals 4ith a total cost of just under $200000 is expected

Coincidentally thirty-four j34) have been in long-term (one-year or more)
pr rams and twenty-five (25) in shorter programs
Based on the foregoing the training component of the TDI Project has to
date been proceeding by and large on schedule This notwithstanding however
it needs to be asked whether the component (including the training element of
the Development issues Component) has been operating in a manner consistent
with the training objectives of the project
B Objectives of Training Activities
As designed the training component of the TDI project was not only to
build upon but to improve on the General Participant Training (GPT) Program of
the 1970s Specifically whiie the GPT Program was observed to have lacked
focus on particular development issues or on specific human resource and
institutional development objectives that thereby limited its overall impact
training activities under the TDI project would support the institutional
objectives of requesting organizations contribute to improving manpower
skills critical to national and regional development and enhance capacities
related to the issues selected under the Development issues Component
Towards this end a survey of training needs of socio-economic
development-related government institutions was undertaken in the early stages
of the project On the basis of criteria approved by the project Steering
Committee survey responses were analyzed to come up with a prioritization of
agencies and of fields of study for funding under the projectshy

D Areas for gtnorovein
The foregoing general observations notwi thstanding however there are
definite areas for improvement in the operation and implementation of training
activities
o e-n viith the priorit zation scheme adopted while useful in guiding
the evaluation of specific requests fo training assistance leaves too much
room for flexibility in decision-making While the need for and the value of
flexibility in a program of this nature recognized too much it couldis of
easily lead to distortions in Program results That this has tended to be the
case is evident from the folloino
a) The predominance of gtEDA itself as recipient institution of the
training grants Of the fifty-nine (59) slots that had been made
available twen-y-two 2) or more thian a thi -d went to IEDA official s
and employees Relative to the slots that went to institutions in the
first priority list (43) the proportion is even higher at slightly
over half While a large proportion of project training funds going
to NEDA staff may be justifiable in terms of the institutions central
role in Philippine development plannin and policy-formulation such a
high proportion of resources going to a single agency is rather
excessive
b) Relatedly the predominance of fields of a general development nature
ie Economics Planning IMlanagement and Public Acimnistration and
Statistics in the fields of training supported under the project
These acounted for forty-four (44) of the fifty nne (59) slots
Again whlle the value of a broad perspective in policy-formulation is
recognized threo-fourtihs of the training allocation going into thi3
19shy
type of general zraining wou d seem to unduly undervalue tiie ieed for
more specza~ized types of poli cy anal vsis called for in many areas of
Phiippine development T is of course Dossble that these needs are
already being addressed tirou-gh projects other than the underone
consideration if so then - e present ellocation under the TDI
Project may well be jusified Unfortunately time constraints have
7 no- enabled -i-oser nvesiation of this mattershy
c) Funding of pr-grans in Law and Justice which though related to
socio economic development policy formulation is at best only
distantly so ParLicipation for instance in programs on American amp
internat-ional a as well as -n the US Legal System by members of
the Regional Trial Courts is to say the least difficult to justify
under tiis project However support towards laster s degrees in
Engineering of which rhere are two probably is justifiable as these
may be classified among the manpower skills critical to national and
regional development
d) Relative imbalance in the distribution of training slots between
participants from central offices and those from the regions Of the
fifty-nine (59) slots made available less than ten have gone to participants from the reg-onai offices Considering the thrust of the
present government towards genuine regionalzation including NEDAs
own interests improvements in this regard are especially called for
For instance the nei government is strengthening the role of the
Regional Development Council- and therefore these may be additional
training needs
_ According to the Hanager of the Participant Training Component this was in fact the case
The seconc road a-ea for improvemert is in monit-ori ng The establ i shment
of a sstem for monitoring of zrain n oarticioants both during and more
importantly after traind1n Was envsioned in thne project design The first
batch or tra nees iho went through one year programs in SY 1934 have been back
on the job for a ear and tiose wiho underwenr shorter programs have been back
for a longe period To cate hovever no back to office monitoring has been
undertken rendr in- di-ficut the assssent of traininc imDact relative to
obj ectives
E Usefulness of Training
Towards this end however limited interviews of immediate supervisors of
returned trai nees wiere carried out in this evaluation to obtain some feel for
the usefulness o1 training to the sponsoring institutions
in general the assessment of training impact has been very positive with
significant improvements observed in the overall depth and breadth of
analytical outputs of returned trainees in one instance however even
before the outset of tne training program the participant was transferred to
another unit to which immediate applicabilit of the training eventua1y
received was minimal thoh nonethelss potentially useful
On the transfer of knowledgeskills acquired to other personnel of the
sponsoring Insitutions the general approach has been through informal
discussions on the j o
- 21 -
V PRQ ECT SGJ I IT AND OUTLOOK
Implementation problems notwithstanding current evidence supports the
continued usefulness off the project towards the objective of building up
institutional capacities for policy analysis and decision-making in the
PhiliPPine bureaucracy The Tax Administration and Compliance Study for
instance thouqh still in the process of finalization has already contributed
siqnificant inputs to the recent formulation of a new Tax Reform Package
Outputs of the on-going research on Sectoral Classification of Trade and
Inve ment Data are already being programmed for use in the current drafting
of the Philippine Development Plan for 1987-1992 Limited interviews have
also established the positive contributions of training supported under the
project in terms of improved overall quality of analytical work of returned
trainees
The potential impact of the project is further considerably enhanced by
the fact of a new government which is seriously engaged in a broad-ranging
effort to review and as needed recast the whole gamut of policies
structures and procedures that intimately affect both the current and the
future life of the nation
In terms of project operations recent developments augur well for
improvements not only in the pace of project implementation but also in terms
of broadening the projects overall impact In the case of the Development
Issues Component mention has already been made of positive expectations
resultina from the workshop on the Research Agenda conducted in late 1935
Significantly because of the materially improved response that resulted from
thc workshop the TDI-PMO has decided to convene similar workshops on a
regular basis possibly twice a year

unlikely the full ip1ementation of The project within the current PACD
Furthermore the Pr o- ed mod ficiDns in the operating scheme of the
training component ioulc also take some time to work out Accordingly the
7oTDI-P1O is exoected put forard to USAID a request for a two-year extension
of the current PASD f the project is extended then there will be need for
another evaiua-ion in two years
VI RECOMME IDATI OS
in light of all of the foregoing the following recommendations are herein
made with respect to the TDI project
1 The project should continue and the PACD extended by two years to
December 1990
2 Should the Precedinig reccmmendation be approved another evaluation of
the project should be schedule- in thc first half of 1988
3 To contribute to the easing of the countrys debt servicing
difficulties and in consideration of the diffused social benefits of the
project the entire unearmarked loan allocation to the project should be
converted to outright grant
4 To enhance smooth and timely implementation of the project as a whole
and in particular of the non-training elements of the Development issues
Component a clear resolution of the issues that have herein been identified
as having largely held back proect progress should be made and agreements
reached should be clearly set out in project implementation letters
Critical items in this regard are the whole apProach to project
implementation and the related question of compensation for government
personnel and the issue of USAID membership in the Project Steering

7 For reasons that have already been indicated elsewhere in this
report at of part ofleast the management the procedures of the Development
Issues component (which now excludes training) should be transferred or
subcontracted to the Philippine Institute for Development Studies (PIDS) which
has consideraile experience with managing research and working with USAID
8 To improve the implementation of the development issues component
(a) The Steering Committee especially in light of the priorities of
the new GOP administration should focus and prioritize the Agenda of Areas of
Research This should be done with the intent of selecting only a limited
number of development issues in order to concentrate efforts involve more
institutions in the same topic and culminate through a series of activities
in concrete policy recommendations
(b) TDI-PI0 should implement present plans for more frequent workshops
and advertisements to solicit research proposals and to broaden participation
(c) In addition high level NEDA officials should continue to endeavor
to involve directly other ministers and deputy ministers in the selection of
development issue topics research assignments and discussions of results
NEDA should continue to make readily available TDI resources to other
ministries
(d) The regular selection process should be made simpler and quicker
through such steps as greater discretionary power to the NEDA-TDI Project
Manager to approve proposals on already cleared topics without further
approval of the Steering Committee or USAIO up to a limit of say $15000
per proposal
(e) An alternative formechanism selecting consultants should be
designed to meet immediate short-term needs The NEDA-TDI project manager
should have greater authority to initiate on his own within topic guidelines
approved by the Steering Committee and USAID consultancy contracts This
authority snould be limited both as to amount of any individual contract say
$15000 and to the total amount of all such contracts for the year say
$100000
9 The Evaluation Team endorses the TDI-PMO proposals for improving the
overall effectiveness and impact of training activities Specifically
(a)A more detailed training plan for the balance of the project
duration should be prepared based on an updated assessment of institutional
training needs The team feels that in this assessment special attention
should be given to the needs of regional offices Further while maximum
adherence to the formulated plan is desirable provision for some degree of
flexibility should also be allowed to enable the project to respond to
unforeseen but urgent training requirements that may arise in the course of
implemfentation For this purpose ten (10) per cent of the uncommitted
balance of the training allocation could remain unprogrammed and availed of
largely on a need basis
(b) Institutional participation in the training component should be
broadened not so much however by increasing the number of participating
institutions (although possibly that too) but more through the provision of
proportionately more slots to institutions that have been determined to rank
high in the institutional prioritization scheme
(c) Participation from the regional levels should be increased and
perhaps even given priority
(d) Extension of funding support to training in suitable fields in
selected regional training institutions in the country should be undertaken
n this reard full consi deration should be given toi nci uding training
ororms 7 rv ate -c--nal insi tutions The proposal to explore the
devloomnt of a aster s roram in DcveloDment Economics at the UP in
Diliman is siMilarlI endorsed
10 7n add-isn to the forejoing a reassessment of the distribution of
ii-s is-ai r 1 ly t iclh general and te more
setor-soecifiPopo1 cy analysi s stud prcgrams should be unde rtaken to ensure
th t the latter type of neecs is indeed being adequately addressed through
thi-s rojett in comb na tion i - othr d or-assi sted training programs If
not tIen soe shi ftng in proportions should be effected
11 Finally to enable continuini assessment of the extent to which project ojectives for the training component are being achieved the
otng system envisaged nder the project should immediately be
establisned and activated

Current Status The above-mentioned purpose is pursued through the implementation of two project components namely (1)Participant Training Component and (2) Development Issues Comoonent As of 31 December 1985 a total of 29 overseas and 15 local training participants nave been supported by the Participant Training Component Meanwhile the Development Issues Component has directed efforts toward the development of the technical base for effective policy analysis Through the conduct of three researches under the broad develoPment issues identified for project attention preparation of concept papers on development planningand policy issues and provision of support for 4 overseas the same
and 34 local training participants As of date the Participant Training Component has
obligated 609 p-r cent of the total loan appropriation it has received so far and 967 per cent of its total grant budget The Developmeit Issues Component on the other hand has obligated 437 per cent of the total loan appropriations and 164 per cent of its total grant budget
I PURPOSE AND TIING OF THE EVALUATION
This evaluation will assess the progress of the implementation of the TDI Project and make reccmmendations for maximizing the projects impact on the development efforts of the Aquino Government It will identify the successful project activities and attempt to explain the advantages these have over ess successful activities It plans to investigate the problems and issues which appear to have hampered or delayedimplementation of the less successful and to determine mechanisms to avoid or resolve them The evaluation also will identiFy and assess new approaches for using project resources to achieve project objectives
More soecifically it will focus on five general areas
a the current status of project implementationb exIec7ations and Perceptions of TDI project by NEDA and USAID and c factors affecting project implementation d selection of DI componenT issues and Training component participants
and e opportunities and mechanisms for improving the project
As scheduled in the project paper the first evaluation will be conducted in FY 86
Based on tne findings the evaluation should recommend whether basicchannes in theproject design and implementation Procedures are necessary The recommendatiors should indicate the advantages and disadvantages of the design and procedural changes advocated

IV TEAM COMIPOSITION
The evaluation team must exhibit a thorough understanding of the following subject areas
1 Operations of the GOP specifically of NEDA and OEM2 Philippine develoDment issues and how these relate to policies3 IMechanics of Ai0 and USAIDPhilippines and4 The nature of the relationshio between USAID and N-DA5 The develooment priorities and opportunities of the Aquino government
The teams comPosition should represent expertise in the fields of organizational planning and management policy-making evaluation and management of research and training activities Given the sensitivities surrounding this project and the importance of this evaluation the teamshould not only be experts in the subject areas above they should also bewell known and respected by both INEDA and AID A team is expected to becomposed of a mix of Philippine and US consulrants or MissionAIDWashington personnel
The team will not have to collect and analyze a great deal of information because there have been very few implementation actions to date Thus asmall team of perhaps three or maybe four highly qualified persons should be sufficient

0 Implementation Procedures
Following from the USAID premise of the broadest possible participation in
the policy formulation process the implementation procedures set out in the
Project Paper envisioned extensive use of seminars and conferences (about 30
to 40) in the entire course of project implementation from issue selection to
the presenta-ion of research findings and recommendations These procedures
were adopted in the implementation Plan of the DeveloDMnt issues Component
in the implementation o- zite project to-date however only one such
workshop-conFerence- has been nel d and this in October more tiian1985 two
years from the daze of signing of tne Project Agreemnt The purpose of this
workshop attended by representatives of various research institutions was to
publicize generate interest in and hopefully speed up research formulation
under the Development Issues Component of TDI
Significantly post-orkshop response to the project has been encouraging
wit~is aditionalproposals having already been received on topics in the
Research Agenca as ail as -n others related to it Still others are
currently under preparation From clnis standpoint much improvement may be
expected in the pace of mpement3ation of at least the research element of the
5Development -ssues Component within the coming monthsshy
5 The Steering Committee was scheduled to meet on 14 July 1986 at which approval of research proposals 4ith a total cost of just under $200000 is expected

Coincidentally thirty-four j34) have been in long-term (one-year or more)
pr rams and twenty-five (25) in shorter programs
Based on the foregoing the training component of the TDI Project has to
date been proceeding by and large on schedule This notwithstanding however
it needs to be asked whether the component (including the training element of
the Development issues Component) has been operating in a manner consistent
with the training objectives of the project
B Objectives of Training Activities
As designed the training component of the TDI project was not only to
build upon but to improve on the General Participant Training (GPT) Program of
the 1970s Specifically whiie the GPT Program was observed to have lacked
focus on particular development issues or on specific human resource and
institutional development objectives that thereby limited its overall impact
training activities under the TDI project would support the institutional
objectives of requesting organizations contribute to improving manpower
skills critical to national and regional development and enhance capacities
related to the issues selected under the Development issues Component
Towards this end a survey of training needs of socio-economic
development-related government institutions was undertaken in the early stages
of the project On the basis of criteria approved by the project Steering
Committee survey responses were analyzed to come up with a prioritization of
agencies and of fields of study for funding under the projectshy

D Areas for gtnorovein
The foregoing general observations notwi thstanding however there are
definite areas for improvement in the operation and implementation of training
activities
o e-n viith the priorit zation scheme adopted while useful in guiding
the evaluation of specific requests fo training assistance leaves too much
room for flexibility in decision-making While the need for and the value of
flexibility in a program of this nature recognized too much it couldis of
easily lead to distortions in Program results That this has tended to be the
case is evident from the folloino
a) The predominance of gtEDA itself as recipient institution of the
training grants Of the fifty-nine (59) slots that had been made
available twen-y-two 2) or more thian a thi -d went to IEDA official s
and employees Relative to the slots that went to institutions in the
first priority list (43) the proportion is even higher at slightly
over half While a large proportion of project training funds going
to NEDA staff may be justifiable in terms of the institutions central
role in Philippine development plannin and policy-formulation such a
high proportion of resources going to a single agency is rather
excessive
b) Relatedly the predominance of fields of a general development nature
ie Economics Planning IMlanagement and Public Acimnistration and
Statistics in the fields of training supported under the project
These acounted for forty-four (44) of the fifty nne (59) slots
Again whlle the value of a broad perspective in policy-formulation is
recognized threo-fourtihs of the training allocation going into thi3
19shy
type of general zraining wou d seem to unduly undervalue tiie ieed for
more specza~ized types of poli cy anal vsis called for in many areas of
Phiippine development T is of course Dossble that these needs are
already being addressed tirou-gh projects other than the underone
consideration if so then - e present ellocation under the TDI
Project may well be jusified Unfortunately time constraints have
7 no- enabled -i-oser nvesiation of this mattershy
c) Funding of pr-grans in Law and Justice which though related to
socio economic development policy formulation is at best only
distantly so ParLicipation for instance in programs on American amp
internat-ional a as well as -n the US Legal System by members of
the Regional Trial Courts is to say the least difficult to justify
under tiis project However support towards laster s degrees in
Engineering of which rhere are two probably is justifiable as these
may be classified among the manpower skills critical to national and
regional development
d) Relative imbalance in the distribution of training slots between
participants from central offices and those from the regions Of the
fifty-nine (59) slots made available less than ten have gone to participants from the reg-onai offices Considering the thrust of the
present government towards genuine regionalzation including NEDAs
own interests improvements in this regard are especially called for
For instance the nei government is strengthening the role of the
Regional Development Council- and therefore these may be additional
training needs
_ According to the Hanager of the Participant Training Component this was in fact the case
The seconc road a-ea for improvemert is in monit-ori ng The establ i shment
of a sstem for monitoring of zrain n oarticioants both during and more
importantly after traind1n Was envsioned in thne project design The first
batch or tra nees iho went through one year programs in SY 1934 have been back
on the job for a ear and tiose wiho underwenr shorter programs have been back
for a longe period To cate hovever no back to office monitoring has been
undertken rendr in- di-ficut the assssent of traininc imDact relative to
obj ectives
E Usefulness of Training
Towards this end however limited interviews of immediate supervisors of
returned trai nees wiere carried out in this evaluation to obtain some feel for
the usefulness o1 training to the sponsoring institutions
in general the assessment of training impact has been very positive with
significant improvements observed in the overall depth and breadth of
analytical outputs of returned trainees in one instance however even
before the outset of tne training program the participant was transferred to
another unit to which immediate applicabilit of the training eventua1y
received was minimal thoh nonethelss potentially useful
On the transfer of knowledgeskills acquired to other personnel of the
sponsoring Insitutions the general approach has been through informal
discussions on the j o
- 21 -
V PRQ ECT SGJ I IT AND OUTLOOK
Implementation problems notwithstanding current evidence supports the
continued usefulness off the project towards the objective of building up
institutional capacities for policy analysis and decision-making in the
PhiliPPine bureaucracy The Tax Administration and Compliance Study for
instance thouqh still in the process of finalization has already contributed
siqnificant inputs to the recent formulation of a new Tax Reform Package
Outputs of the on-going research on Sectoral Classification of Trade and
Inve ment Data are already being programmed for use in the current drafting
of the Philippine Development Plan for 1987-1992 Limited interviews have
also established the positive contributions of training supported under the
project in terms of improved overall quality of analytical work of returned
trainees
The potential impact of the project is further considerably enhanced by
the fact of a new government which is seriously engaged in a broad-ranging
effort to review and as needed recast the whole gamut of policies
structures and procedures that intimately affect both the current and the
future life of the nation
In terms of project operations recent developments augur well for
improvements not only in the pace of project implementation but also in terms
of broadening the projects overall impact In the case of the Development
Issues Component mention has already been made of positive expectations
resultina from the workshop on the Research Agenda conducted in late 1935
Significantly because of the materially improved response that resulted from
thc workshop the TDI-PMO has decided to convene similar workshops on a
regular basis possibly twice a year

unlikely the full ip1ementation of The project within the current PACD
Furthermore the Pr o- ed mod ficiDns in the operating scheme of the
training component ioulc also take some time to work out Accordingly the
7oTDI-P1O is exoected put forard to USAID a request for a two-year extension
of the current PASD f the project is extended then there will be need for
another evaiua-ion in two years
VI RECOMME IDATI OS
in light of all of the foregoing the following recommendations are herein
made with respect to the TDI project
1 The project should continue and the PACD extended by two years to
December 1990
2 Should the Precedinig reccmmendation be approved another evaluation of
the project should be schedule- in thc first half of 1988
3 To contribute to the easing of the countrys debt servicing
difficulties and in consideration of the diffused social benefits of the
project the entire unearmarked loan allocation to the project should be
converted to outright grant
4 To enhance smooth and timely implementation of the project as a whole
and in particular of the non-training elements of the Development issues
Component a clear resolution of the issues that have herein been identified
as having largely held back proect progress should be made and agreements
reached should be clearly set out in project implementation letters
Critical items in this regard are the whole apProach to project
implementation and the related question of compensation for government
personnel and the issue of USAID membership in the Project Steering

7 For reasons that have already been indicated elsewhere in this
report at of part ofleast the management the procedures of the Development
Issues component (which now excludes training) should be transferred or
subcontracted to the Philippine Institute for Development Studies (PIDS) which
has consideraile experience with managing research and working with USAID
8 To improve the implementation of the development issues component
(a) The Steering Committee especially in light of the priorities of
the new GOP administration should focus and prioritize the Agenda of Areas of
Research This should be done with the intent of selecting only a limited
number of development issues in order to concentrate efforts involve more
institutions in the same topic and culminate through a series of activities
in concrete policy recommendations
(b) TDI-PI0 should implement present plans for more frequent workshops
and advertisements to solicit research proposals and to broaden participation
(c) In addition high level NEDA officials should continue to endeavor
to involve directly other ministers and deputy ministers in the selection of
development issue topics research assignments and discussions of results
NEDA should continue to make readily available TDI resources to other
ministries
(d) The regular selection process should be made simpler and quicker
through such steps as greater discretionary power to the NEDA-TDI Project
Manager to approve proposals on already cleared topics without further
approval of the Steering Committee or USAIO up to a limit of say $15000
per proposal
(e) An alternative formechanism selecting consultants should be
designed to meet immediate short-term needs The NEDA-TDI project manager
should have greater authority to initiate on his own within topic guidelines
approved by the Steering Committee and USAID consultancy contracts This
authority snould be limited both as to amount of any individual contract say
$15000 and to the total amount of all such contracts for the year say
$100000
9 The Evaluation Team endorses the TDI-PMO proposals for improving the
overall effectiveness and impact of training activities Specifically
(a)A more detailed training plan for the balance of the project
duration should be prepared based on an updated assessment of institutional
training needs The team feels that in this assessment special attention
should be given to the needs of regional offices Further while maximum
adherence to the formulated plan is desirable provision for some degree of
flexibility should also be allowed to enable the project to respond to
unforeseen but urgent training requirements that may arise in the course of
implemfentation For this purpose ten (10) per cent of the uncommitted
balance of the training allocation could remain unprogrammed and availed of
largely on a need basis
(b) Institutional participation in the training component should be
broadened not so much however by increasing the number of participating
institutions (although possibly that too) but more through the provision of
proportionately more slots to institutions that have been determined to rank
high in the institutional prioritization scheme
(c) Participation from the regional levels should be increased and
perhaps even given priority
(d) Extension of funding support to training in suitable fields in
selected regional training institutions in the country should be undertaken
n this reard full consi deration should be given toi nci uding training
ororms 7 rv ate -c--nal insi tutions The proposal to explore the

not tIen soe shi ftng in proportions should be effected
11 Finally to enable continuini assessment of the extent to which project ojectives for the training component are being achieved the
otng system envisaged nder the project should immediately be
establisned and activated

$4500000 (AID-funded) $1200000 (Grant) $3300000 (Loan) $1500000 (GOP)
Purpose The purpose of the project is to improve the capability of Philippine Government and other institutions to analyze development issues and to make sound and timely development-related decisions
Current Status The above-mentioned purpose is pursued through the implementation of two project components namely (1)Participant Training Component and (2) Development Issues Comoonent As of 31 December 1985 a total of 29 overseas and 15 local training participants nave been supported by the Participant Training Component Meanwhile the Development Issues Component has directed efforts toward the development of the technical base for effective policy analysis Through the conduct of three researches under the broad develoPment issues identified for project attention preparation of concept papers on development planningand policy issues and provision of support for 4 overseas the same
and 34 local training participants As of date the Participant Training Component has
obligated 609 p-r cent of the total loan appropriation it has received so far and 967 per cent of its total grant budget The Developmeit Issues Component on the other hand has obligated 437 per cent of the total loan appropriations and 164 per cent of its total grant budget
I PURPOSE AND TIING OF THE EVALUATION
This evaluation will assess the progress of the implementation of the TDI Project and make reccmmendations for maximizing the projects impact on the development efforts of the Aquino Government It will identify the successful project activities and attempt to explain the advantages these have over ess successful activities It plans to investigate the problems and issues which appear to have hampered or delayedimplementation of the less successful and to determine mechanisms to avoid or resolve them The evaluation also will identiFy and assess new approaches for using project resources to achieve project objectives
More soecifically it will focus on five general areas
a the current status of project implementationb exIec7ations and Perceptions of TDI project by NEDA and USAID and c factors affecting project implementation d selection of DI componenT issues and Training component participants
and e opportunities and mechanisms for improving the project
As scheduled in the project paper the first evaluation will be conducted in FY 86
Based on tne findings the evaluation should recommend whether basicchannes in theproject design and implementation Procedures are necessary The recommendatiors should indicate the advantages and disadvantages of the design and procedural changes advocated

IV TEAM COMIPOSITION
The evaluation team must exhibit a thorough understanding of the following subject areas
1 Operations of the GOP specifically of NEDA and OEM2 Philippine develoDment issues and how these relate to policies3 IMechanics of Ai0 and USAIDPhilippines and4 The nature of the relationshio between USAID and N-DA5 The develooment priorities and opportunities of the Aquino government
The teams comPosition should represent expertise in the fields of organizational planning and management policy-making evaluation and management of research and training activities Given the sensitivities surrounding this project and the importance of this evaluation the teamshould not only be experts in the subject areas above they should also bewell known and respected by both INEDA and AID A team is expected to becomposed of a mix of Philippine and US consulrants or MissionAIDWashington personnel
The team will not have to collect and analyze a great deal of information because there have been very few implementation actions to date Thus asmall team of perhaps three or maybe four highly qualified persons should be sufficient

0 Implementation Procedures
Following from the USAID premise of the broadest possible participation in
the policy formulation process the implementation procedures set out in the
Project Paper envisioned extensive use of seminars and conferences (about 30
to 40) in the entire course of project implementation from issue selection to
the presenta-ion of research findings and recommendations These procedures
were adopted in the implementation Plan of the DeveloDMnt issues Component
in the implementation o- zite project to-date however only one such
workshop-conFerence- has been nel d and this in October more tiian1985 two
years from the daze of signing of tne Project Agreemnt The purpose of this
workshop attended by representatives of various research institutions was to
publicize generate interest in and hopefully speed up research formulation
under the Development Issues Component of TDI
Significantly post-orkshop response to the project has been encouraging
wit~is aditionalproposals having already been received on topics in the
Research Agenca as ail as -n others related to it Still others are
currently under preparation From clnis standpoint much improvement may be
expected in the pace of mpement3ation of at least the research element of the
5Development -ssues Component within the coming monthsshy
5 The Steering Committee was scheduled to meet on 14 July 1986 at which approval of research proposals 4ith a total cost of just under $200000 is expected

Coincidentally thirty-four j34) have been in long-term (one-year or more)
pr rams and twenty-five (25) in shorter programs
Based on the foregoing the training component of the TDI Project has to
date been proceeding by and large on schedule This notwithstanding however
it needs to be asked whether the component (including the training element of
the Development issues Component) has been operating in a manner consistent
with the training objectives of the project
B Objectives of Training Activities
As designed the training component of the TDI project was not only to
build upon but to improve on the General Participant Training (GPT) Program of
the 1970s Specifically whiie the GPT Program was observed to have lacked
focus on particular development issues or on specific human resource and
institutional development objectives that thereby limited its overall impact
training activities under the TDI project would support the institutional
objectives of requesting organizations contribute to improving manpower
skills critical to national and regional development and enhance capacities
related to the issues selected under the Development issues Component
Towards this end a survey of training needs of socio-economic
development-related government institutions was undertaken in the early stages
of the project On the basis of criteria approved by the project Steering
Committee survey responses were analyzed to come up with a prioritization of
agencies and of fields of study for funding under the projectshy

D Areas for gtnorovein
The foregoing general observations notwi thstanding however there are
definite areas for improvement in the operation and implementation of training
activities
o e-n viith the priorit zation scheme adopted while useful in guiding
the evaluation of specific requests fo training assistance leaves too much
room for flexibility in decision-making While the need for and the value of
flexibility in a program of this nature recognized too much it couldis of
easily lead to distortions in Program results That this has tended to be the
case is evident from the folloino
a) The predominance of gtEDA itself as recipient institution of the
training grants Of the fifty-nine (59) slots that had been made
available twen-y-two 2) or more thian a thi -d went to IEDA official s
and employees Relative to the slots that went to institutions in the
first priority list (43) the proportion is even higher at slightly
over half While a large proportion of project training funds going
to NEDA staff may be justifiable in terms of the institutions central
role in Philippine development plannin and policy-formulation such a
high proportion of resources going to a single agency is rather
excessive
b) Relatedly the predominance of fields of a general development nature
ie Economics Planning IMlanagement and Public Acimnistration and
Statistics in the fields of training supported under the project
These acounted for forty-four (44) of the fifty nne (59) slots
Again whlle the value of a broad perspective in policy-formulation is
recognized threo-fourtihs of the training allocation going into thi3
19shy
type of general zraining wou d seem to unduly undervalue tiie ieed for
more specza~ized types of poli cy anal vsis called for in many areas of
Phiippine development T is of course Dossble that these needs are
already being addressed tirou-gh projects other than the underone
consideration if so then - e present ellocation under the TDI
Project may well be jusified Unfortunately time constraints have
7 no- enabled -i-oser nvesiation of this mattershy
c) Funding of pr-grans in Law and Justice which though related to
socio economic development policy formulation is at best only
distantly so ParLicipation for instance in programs on American amp
internat-ional a as well as -n the US Legal System by members of
the Regional Trial Courts is to say the least difficult to justify
under tiis project However support towards laster s degrees in
Engineering of which rhere are two probably is justifiable as these
may be classified among the manpower skills critical to national and
regional development
d) Relative imbalance in the distribution of training slots between
participants from central offices and those from the regions Of the
fifty-nine (59) slots made available less than ten have gone to participants from the reg-onai offices Considering the thrust of the
present government towards genuine regionalzation including NEDAs
own interests improvements in this regard are especially called for
For instance the nei government is strengthening the role of the
Regional Development Council- and therefore these may be additional
training needs
_ According to the Hanager of the Participant Training Component this was in fact the case
The seconc road a-ea for improvemert is in monit-ori ng The establ i shment
of a sstem for monitoring of zrain n oarticioants both during and more
importantly after traind1n Was envsioned in thne project design The first
batch or tra nees iho went through one year programs in SY 1934 have been back
on the job for a ear and tiose wiho underwenr shorter programs have been back
for a longe period To cate hovever no back to office monitoring has been
undertken rendr in- di-ficut the assssent of traininc imDact relative to
obj ectives
E Usefulness of Training
Towards this end however limited interviews of immediate supervisors of
returned trai nees wiere carried out in this evaluation to obtain some feel for
the usefulness o1 training to the sponsoring institutions
in general the assessment of training impact has been very positive with
significant improvements observed in the overall depth and breadth of
analytical outputs of returned trainees in one instance however even
before the outset of tne training program the participant was transferred to
another unit to which immediate applicabilit of the training eventua1y
received was minimal thoh nonethelss potentially useful
On the transfer of knowledgeskills acquired to other personnel of the
sponsoring Insitutions the general approach has been through informal
discussions on the j o
- 21 -
V PRQ ECT SGJ I IT AND OUTLOOK
Implementation problems notwithstanding current evidence supports the
continued usefulness off the project towards the objective of building up
institutional capacities for policy analysis and decision-making in the
PhiliPPine bureaucracy The Tax Administration and Compliance Study for
instance thouqh still in the process of finalization has already contributed
siqnificant inputs to the recent formulation of a new Tax Reform Package
Outputs of the on-going research on Sectoral Classification of Trade and
Inve ment Data are already being programmed for use in the current drafting
of the Philippine Development Plan for 1987-1992 Limited interviews have
also established the positive contributions of training supported under the
project in terms of improved overall quality of analytical work of returned
trainees
The potential impact of the project is further considerably enhanced by
the fact of a new government which is seriously engaged in a broad-ranging
effort to review and as needed recast the whole gamut of policies
structures and procedures that intimately affect both the current and the
future life of the nation
In terms of project operations recent developments augur well for
improvements not only in the pace of project implementation but also in terms
of broadening the projects overall impact In the case of the Development
Issues Component mention has already been made of positive expectations
resultina from the workshop on the Research Agenda conducted in late 1935
Significantly because of the materially improved response that resulted from
thc workshop the TDI-PMO has decided to convene similar workshops on a
regular basis possibly twice a year

unlikely the full ip1ementation of The project within the current PACD
Furthermore the Pr o- ed mod ficiDns in the operating scheme of the
training component ioulc also take some time to work out Accordingly the
7oTDI-P1O is exoected put forard to USAID a request for a two-year extension
of the current PASD f the project is extended then there will be need for
another evaiua-ion in two years
VI RECOMME IDATI OS
in light of all of the foregoing the following recommendations are herein
made with respect to the TDI project
1 The project should continue and the PACD extended by two years to
December 1990
2 Should the Precedinig reccmmendation be approved another evaluation of
the project should be schedule- in thc first half of 1988
3 To contribute to the easing of the countrys debt servicing
difficulties and in consideration of the diffused social benefits of the
project the entire unearmarked loan allocation to the project should be
converted to outright grant
4 To enhance smooth and timely implementation of the project as a whole
and in particular of the non-training elements of the Development issues
Component a clear resolution of the issues that have herein been identified
as having largely held back proect progress should be made and agreements
reached should be clearly set out in project implementation letters
Critical items in this regard are the whole apProach to project
implementation and the related question of compensation for government
personnel and the issue of USAID membership in the Project Steering

7 For reasons that have already been indicated elsewhere in this
report at of part ofleast the management the procedures of the Development
Issues component (which now excludes training) should be transferred or
subcontracted to the Philippine Institute for Development Studies (PIDS) which
has consideraile experience with managing research and working with USAID
8 To improve the implementation of the development issues component
(a) The Steering Committee especially in light of the priorities of
the new GOP administration should focus and prioritize the Agenda of Areas of
Research This should be done with the intent of selecting only a limited
number of development issues in order to concentrate efforts involve more
institutions in the same topic and culminate through a series of activities
in concrete policy recommendations
(b) TDI-PI0 should implement present plans for more frequent workshops
and advertisements to solicit research proposals and to broaden participation
(c) In addition high level NEDA officials should continue to endeavor
to involve directly other ministers and deputy ministers in the selection of
development issue topics research assignments and discussions of results
NEDA should continue to make readily available TDI resources to other
ministries
(d) The regular selection process should be made simpler and quicker
through such steps as greater discretionary power to the NEDA-TDI Project
Manager to approve proposals on already cleared topics without further
approval of the Steering Committee or USAIO up to a limit of say $15000
per proposal
(e) An alternative formechanism selecting consultants should be
designed to meet immediate short-term needs The NEDA-TDI project manager
should have greater authority to initiate on his own within topic guidelines
approved by the Steering Committee and USAID consultancy contracts This
authority snould be limited both as to amount of any individual contract say
$15000 and to the total amount of all such contracts for the year say
$100000
9 The Evaluation Team endorses the TDI-PMO proposals for improving the
overall effectiveness and impact of training activities Specifically
(a)A more detailed training plan for the balance of the project
duration should be prepared based on an updated assessment of institutional
training needs The team feels that in this assessment special attention
should be given to the needs of regional offices Further while maximum
adherence to the formulated plan is desirable provision for some degree of
flexibility should also be allowed to enable the project to respond to
unforeseen but urgent training requirements that may arise in the course of
implemfentation For this purpose ten (10) per cent of the uncommitted
balance of the training allocation could remain unprogrammed and availed of
largely on a need basis
(b) Institutional participation in the training component should be
broadened not so much however by increasing the number of participating
institutions (although possibly that too) but more through the provision of
proportionately more slots to institutions that have been determined to rank
high in the institutional prioritization scheme
(c) Participation from the regional levels should be increased and
perhaps even given priority
(d) Extension of funding support to training in suitable fields in
selected regional training institutions in the country should be undertaken
n this reard full consi deration should be given toi nci uding training
ororms 7 rv ate -c--nal insi tutions The proposal to explore the
devloomnt of a aster s roram in DcveloDment Economics at the UP in
Diliman is siMilarlI endorsed
10 7n add-isn to the forejoing a reassessment of the distribution of
ii-s is-ai r 1 ly t iclh general and te more
setor-soecifiPopo1 cy analysi s stud prcgrams should be unde rtaken to ensure
th t the latter type of neecs is indeed being adequately addressed through
thi-s rojett in comb na tion i - othr d or-assi sted training programs If
not tIen soe shi ftng in proportions should be effected
11 Finally to enable continuini assessment of the extent to which project ojectives for the training component are being achieved the
otng system envisaged nder the project should immediately be
establisned and activated

IV TEAM COMIPOSITION
The evaluation team must exhibit a thorough understanding of the following subject areas
1 Operations of the GOP specifically of NEDA and OEM2 Philippine develoDment issues and how these relate to policies3 IMechanics of Ai0 and USAIDPhilippines and4 The nature of the relationshio between USAID and N-DA5 The develooment priorities and opportunities of the Aquino government
The teams comPosition should represent expertise in the fields of organizational planning and management policy-making evaluation and management of research and training activities Given the sensitivities surrounding this project and the importance of this evaluation the teamshould not only be experts in the subject areas above they should also bewell known and respected by both INEDA and AID A team is expected to becomposed of a mix of Philippine and US consulrants or MissionAIDWashington personnel
The team will not have to collect and analyze a great deal of information because there have been very few implementation actions to date Thus asmall team of perhaps three or maybe four highly qualified persons should be sufficient

Coincidentally thirty-four j34) have been in long-term (one-year or more)
pr rams and twenty-five (25) in shorter programs
Based on the foregoing the training component of the TDI Project has to
date been proceeding by and large on schedule This notwithstanding however
it needs to be asked whether the component (including the training element of
the Development issues Component) has been operating in a manner consistent
with the training objectives of the project
B Objectives of Training Activities
As designed the training component of the TDI project was not only to
build upon but to improve on the General Participant Training (GPT) Program of
the 1970s Specifically whiie the GPT Program was observed to have lacked
focus on particular development issues or on specific human resource and
institutional development objectives that thereby limited its overall impact
training activities under the TDI project would support the institutional
objectives of requesting organizations contribute to improving manpower
skills critical to national and regional development and enhance capacities
related to the issues selected under the Development issues Component
Towards this end a survey of training needs of socio-economic
development-related government institutions was undertaken in the early stages
of the project On the basis of criteria approved by the project Steering
Committee survey responses were analyzed to come up with a prioritization of
agencies and of fields of study for funding under the projectshy

D Areas for gtnorovein
The foregoing general observations notwi thstanding however there are
definite areas for improvement in the operation and implementation of training
activities
o e-n viith the priorit zation scheme adopted while useful in guiding
the evaluation of specific requests fo training assistance leaves too much
room for flexibility in decision-making While the need for and the value of
flexibility in a program of this nature recognized too much it couldis of
easily lead to distortions in Program results That this has tended to be the
case is evident from the folloino
a) The predominance of gtEDA itself as recipient institution of the
training grants Of the fifty-nine (59) slots that had been made
available twen-y-two 2) or more thian a thi -d went to IEDA official s
and employees Relative to the slots that went to institutions in the
first priority list (43) the proportion is even higher at slightly
over half While a large proportion of project training funds going
to NEDA staff may be justifiable in terms of the institutions central
role in Philippine development plannin and policy-formulation such a
high proportion of resources going to a single agency is rather
excessive
b) Relatedly the predominance of fields of a general development nature
ie Economics Planning IMlanagement and Public Acimnistration and
Statistics in the fields of training supported under the project
These acounted for forty-four (44) of the fifty nne (59) slots
Again whlle the value of a broad perspective in policy-formulation is
recognized threo-fourtihs of the training allocation going into thi3
19shy
type of general zraining wou d seem to unduly undervalue tiie ieed for
more specza~ized types of poli cy anal vsis called for in many areas of
Phiippine development T is of course Dossble that these needs are
already being addressed tirou-gh projects other than the underone
consideration if so then - e present ellocation under the TDI
Project may well be jusified Unfortunately time constraints have
7 no- enabled -i-oser nvesiation of this mattershy
c) Funding of pr-grans in Law and Justice which though related to
socio economic development policy formulation is at best only
distantly so ParLicipation for instance in programs on American amp
internat-ional a as well as -n the US Legal System by members of
the Regional Trial Courts is to say the least difficult to justify
under tiis project However support towards laster s degrees in
Engineering of which rhere are two probably is justifiable as these
may be classified among the manpower skills critical to national and
regional development
d) Relative imbalance in the distribution of training slots between
participants from central offices and those from the regions Of the
fifty-nine (59) slots made available less than ten have gone to participants from the reg-onai offices Considering the thrust of the
present government towards genuine regionalzation including NEDAs
own interests improvements in this regard are especially called for
For instance the nei government is strengthening the role of the
Regional Development Council- and therefore these may be additional
training needs
_ According to the Hanager of the Participant Training Component this was in fact the case
The seconc road a-ea for improvemert is in monit-ori ng The establ i shment
of a sstem for monitoring of zrain n oarticioants both during and more
importantly after traind1n Was envsioned in thne project design The first
batch or tra nees iho went through one year programs in SY 1934 have been back
on the job for a ear and tiose wiho underwenr shorter programs have been back
for a longe period To cate hovever no back to office monitoring has been
undertken rendr in- di-ficut the assssent of traininc imDact relative to
obj ectives
E Usefulness of Training
Towards this end however limited interviews of immediate supervisors of
returned trai nees wiere carried out in this evaluation to obtain some feel for
the usefulness o1 training to the sponsoring institutions
in general the assessment of training impact has been very positive with
significant improvements observed in the overall depth and breadth of
analytical outputs of returned trainees in one instance however even
before the outset of tne training program the participant was transferred to
another unit to which immediate applicabilit of the training eventua1y
received was minimal thoh nonethelss potentially useful
On the transfer of knowledgeskills acquired to other personnel of the
sponsoring Insitutions the general approach has been through informal
discussions on the j o
- 21 -
V PRQ ECT SGJ I IT AND OUTLOOK
Implementation problems notwithstanding current evidence supports the
continued usefulness off the project towards the objective of building up
institutional capacities for policy analysis and decision-making in the
PhiliPPine bureaucracy The Tax Administration and Compliance Study for
instance thouqh still in the process of finalization has already contributed
siqnificant inputs to the recent formulation of a new Tax Reform Package
Outputs of the on-going research on Sectoral Classification of Trade and
Inve ment Data are already being programmed for use in the current drafting
of the Philippine Development Plan for 1987-1992 Limited interviews have
also established the positive contributions of training supported under the
project in terms of improved overall quality of analytical work of returned
trainees
The potential impact of the project is further considerably enhanced by
the fact of a new government which is seriously engaged in a broad-ranging
effort to review and as needed recast the whole gamut of policies
structures and procedures that intimately affect both the current and the
future life of the nation
In terms of project operations recent developments augur well for
improvements not only in the pace of project implementation but also in terms
of broadening the projects overall impact In the case of the Development
Issues Component mention has already been made of positive expectations
resultina from the workshop on the Research Agenda conducted in late 1935
Significantly because of the materially improved response that resulted from
thc workshop the TDI-PMO has decided to convene similar workshops on a
regular basis possibly twice a year

unlikely the full ip1ementation of The project within the current PACD
Furthermore the Pr o- ed mod ficiDns in the operating scheme of the
training component ioulc also take some time to work out Accordingly the
7oTDI-P1O is exoected put forard to USAID a request for a two-year extension
of the current PASD f the project is extended then there will be need for
another evaiua-ion in two years
VI RECOMME IDATI OS
in light of all of the foregoing the following recommendations are herein
made with respect to the TDI project
1 The project should continue and the PACD extended by two years to
December 1990
2 Should the Precedinig reccmmendation be approved another evaluation of
the project should be schedule- in thc first half of 1988
3 To contribute to the easing of the countrys debt servicing
difficulties and in consideration of the diffused social benefits of the
project the entire unearmarked loan allocation to the project should be
converted to outright grant
4 To enhance smooth and timely implementation of the project as a whole
and in particular of the non-training elements of the Development issues
Component a clear resolution of the issues that have herein been identified
as having largely held back proect progress should be made and agreements
reached should be clearly set out in project implementation letters
Critical items in this regard are the whole apProach to project
implementation and the related question of compensation for government
personnel and the issue of USAID membership in the Project Steering

7 For reasons that have already been indicated elsewhere in this
report at of part ofleast the management the procedures of the Development
Issues component (which now excludes training) should be transferred or
subcontracted to the Philippine Institute for Development Studies (PIDS) which
has consideraile experience with managing research and working with USAID
8 To improve the implementation of the development issues component
(a) The Steering Committee especially in light of the priorities of
the new GOP administration should focus and prioritize the Agenda of Areas of
Research This should be done with the intent of selecting only a limited
number of development issues in order to concentrate efforts involve more
institutions in the same topic and culminate through a series of activities
in concrete policy recommendations
(b) TDI-PI0 should implement present plans for more frequent workshops
and advertisements to solicit research proposals and to broaden participation
(c) In addition high level NEDA officials should continue to endeavor
to involve directly other ministers and deputy ministers in the selection of
development issue topics research assignments and discussions of results
NEDA should continue to make readily available TDI resources to other
ministries
(d) The regular selection process should be made simpler and quicker
through such steps as greater discretionary power to the NEDA-TDI Project
Manager to approve proposals on already cleared topics without further
approval of the Steering Committee or USAIO up to a limit of say $15000
per proposal
(e) An alternative formechanism selecting consultants should be
designed to meet immediate short-term needs The NEDA-TDI project manager
should have greater authority to initiate on his own within topic guidelines
approved by the Steering Committee and USAID consultancy contracts This
authority snould be limited both as to amount of any individual contract say
$15000 and to the total amount of all such contracts for the year say
$100000
9 The Evaluation Team endorses the TDI-PMO proposals for improving the
overall effectiveness and impact of training activities Specifically
(a)A more detailed training plan for the balance of the project
duration should be prepared based on an updated assessment of institutional
training needs The team feels that in this assessment special attention
should be given to the needs of regional offices Further while maximum
adherence to the formulated plan is desirable provision for some degree of
flexibility should also be allowed to enable the project to respond to
unforeseen but urgent training requirements that may arise in the course of
implemfentation For this purpose ten (10) per cent of the uncommitted
balance of the training allocation could remain unprogrammed and availed of
largely on a need basis
(b) Institutional participation in the training component should be
broadened not so much however by increasing the number of participating
institutions (although possibly that too) but more through the provision of
proportionately more slots to institutions that have been determined to rank
high in the institutional prioritization scheme
(c) Participation from the regional levels should be increased and
perhaps even given priority
(d) Extension of funding support to training in suitable fields in
selected regional training institutions in the country should be undertaken
n this reard full consi deration should be given toi nci uding training

Purpose The purpose of the project is to improve the capability of Philippine Government and other institutions to analyze development issues and to make sound and timely development-related decisions
Current Status The above-mentioned purpose is pursued through the implementation of two project components namely (1)Participant Training Component and (2) Development Issues Comoonent As of 31 December 1985 a total of 29 overseas and 15 local training participants nave been supported by the Participant Training Component Meanwhile the Development Issues Component has directed efforts toward the development of the technical base for effective policy analysis Through the conduct of three researches under the broad develoPment issues identified for project attention preparation of concept papers on development planningand policy issues and provision of support for 4 overseas the same
and 34 local training participants As of date the Participant Training Component has
obligated 609 p-r cent of the total loan appropriation it has received so far and 967 per cent of its total grant budget The Developmeit Issues Component on the other hand has obligated 437 per cent of the total loan appropriations and 164 per cent of its total grant budget
I PURPOSE AND TIING OF THE EVALUATION
This evaluation will assess the progress of the implementation of the TDI Project and make reccmmendations for maximizing the projects impact on the development efforts of the Aquino Government It will identify the successful project activities and attempt to explain the advantages these have over ess successful activities It plans to investigate the problems and issues which appear to have hampered or delayedimplementation of the less successful and to determine mechanisms to avoid or resolve them The evaluation also will identiFy and assess new approaches for using project resources to achieve project objectives
More soecifically it will focus on five general areas
a the current status of project implementationb exIec7ations and Perceptions of TDI project by NEDA and USAID and c factors affecting project implementation d selection of DI componenT issues and Training component participants
and e opportunities and mechanisms for improving the project
As scheduled in the project paper the first evaluation will be conducted in FY 86
Based on tne findings the evaluation should recommend whether basicchannes in theproject design and implementation Procedures are necessary The recommendatiors should indicate the advantages and disadvantages of the design and procedural changes advocated

IV TEAM COMIPOSITION
The evaluation team must exhibit a thorough understanding of the following subject areas
1 Operations of the GOP specifically of NEDA and OEM2 Philippine develoDment issues and how these relate to policies3 IMechanics of Ai0 and USAIDPhilippines and4 The nature of the relationshio between USAID and N-DA5 The develooment priorities and opportunities of the Aquino government
The teams comPosition should represent expertise in the fields of organizational planning and management policy-making evaluation and management of research and training activities Given the sensitivities surrounding this project and the importance of this evaluation the teamshould not only be experts in the subject areas above they should also bewell known and respected by both INEDA and AID A team is expected to becomposed of a mix of Philippine and US consulrants or MissionAIDWashington personnel
The team will not have to collect and analyze a great deal of information because there have been very few implementation actions to date Thus asmall team of perhaps three or maybe four highly qualified persons should be sufficient

Coincidentally thirty-four j34) have been in long-term (one-year or more)
pr rams and twenty-five (25) in shorter programs
Based on the foregoing the training component of the TDI Project has to
date been proceeding by and large on schedule This notwithstanding however
it needs to be asked whether the component (including the training element of
the Development issues Component) has been operating in a manner consistent
with the training objectives of the project
B Objectives of Training Activities
As designed the training component of the TDI project was not only to
build upon but to improve on the General Participant Training (GPT) Program of
the 1970s Specifically whiie the GPT Program was observed to have lacked
focus on particular development issues or on specific human resource and
institutional development objectives that thereby limited its overall impact
training activities under the TDI project would support the institutional
objectives of requesting organizations contribute to improving manpower
skills critical to national and regional development and enhance capacities
related to the issues selected under the Development issues Component
Towards this end a survey of training needs of socio-economic
development-related government institutions was undertaken in the early stages
of the project On the basis of criteria approved by the project Steering
Committee survey responses were analyzed to come up with a prioritization of
agencies and of fields of study for funding under the projectshy

D Areas for gtnorovein
The foregoing general observations notwi thstanding however there are
definite areas for improvement in the operation and implementation of training
activities
o e-n viith the priorit zation scheme adopted while useful in guiding
the evaluation of specific requests fo training assistance leaves too much
room for flexibility in decision-making While the need for and the value of
flexibility in a program of this nature recognized too much it couldis of
easily lead to distortions in Program results That this has tended to be the
case is evident from the folloino
a) The predominance of gtEDA itself as recipient institution of the
training grants Of the fifty-nine (59) slots that had been made
available twen-y-two 2) or more thian a thi -d went to IEDA official s
and employees Relative to the slots that went to institutions in the
first priority list (43) the proportion is even higher at slightly
over half While a large proportion of project training funds going
to NEDA staff may be justifiable in terms of the institutions central
role in Philippine development plannin and policy-formulation such a
high proportion of resources going to a single agency is rather
excessive
b) Relatedly the predominance of fields of a general development nature
ie Economics Planning IMlanagement and Public Acimnistration and
Statistics in the fields of training supported under the project
These acounted for forty-four (44) of the fifty nne (59) slots
Again whlle the value of a broad perspective in policy-formulation is
recognized threo-fourtihs of the training allocation going into thi3
19shy
type of general zraining wou d seem to unduly undervalue tiie ieed for
more specza~ized types of poli cy anal vsis called for in many areas of
Phiippine development T is of course Dossble that these needs are
already being addressed tirou-gh projects other than the underone
consideration if so then - e present ellocation under the TDI
Project may well be jusified Unfortunately time constraints have
7 no- enabled -i-oser nvesiation of this mattershy
c) Funding of pr-grans in Law and Justice which though related to
socio economic development policy formulation is at best only
distantly so ParLicipation for instance in programs on American amp
internat-ional a as well as -n the US Legal System by members of
the Regional Trial Courts is to say the least difficult to justify
under tiis project However support towards laster s degrees in
Engineering of which rhere are two probably is justifiable as these
may be classified among the manpower skills critical to national and
regional development
d) Relative imbalance in the distribution of training slots between
participants from central offices and those from the regions Of the
fifty-nine (59) slots made available less than ten have gone to participants from the reg-onai offices Considering the thrust of the
present government towards genuine regionalzation including NEDAs
own interests improvements in this regard are especially called for
For instance the nei government is strengthening the role of the
Regional Development Council- and therefore these may be additional
training needs
_ According to the Hanager of the Participant Training Component this was in fact the case
The seconc road a-ea for improvemert is in monit-ori ng The establ i shment
of a sstem for monitoring of zrain n oarticioants both during and more

E Usefulness of Training
Towards this end however limited interviews of immediate supervisors of
returned trai nees wiere carried out in this evaluation to obtain some feel for
the usefulness o1 training to the sponsoring institutions
in general the assessment of training impact has been very positive with
significant improvements observed in the overall depth and breadth of
analytical outputs of returned trainees in one instance however even
before the outset of tne training program the participant was transferred to
another unit to which immediate applicabilit of the training eventua1y
received was minimal thoh nonethelss potentially useful
On the transfer of knowledgeskills acquired to other personnel of the
sponsoring Insitutions the general approach has been through informal
discussions on the j o

V PRQ ECT SGJ I IT AND OUTLOOK
Implementation problems notwithstanding current evidence supports the
continued usefulness off the project towards the objective of building up
institutional capacities for policy analysis and decision-making in the
PhiliPPine bureaucracy The Tax Administration and Compliance Study for
instance thouqh still in the process of finalization has already contributed
siqnificant inputs to the recent formulation of a new Tax Reform Package
Outputs of the on-going research on Sectoral Classification of Trade and
Inve ment Data are already being programmed for use in the current drafting
of the Philippine Development Plan for 1987-1992 Limited interviews have
also established the positive contributions of training supported under the
project in terms of improved overall quality of analytical work of returned
trainees
The potential impact of the project is further considerably enhanced by
the fact of a new government which is seriously engaged in a broad-ranging
effort to review and as needed recast the whole gamut of policies
structures and procedures that intimately affect both the current and the
future life of the nation
In terms of project operations recent developments augur well for
improvements not only in the pace of project implementation but also in terms
of broadening the projects overall impact In the case of the Development
Issues Component mention has already been made of positive expectations
resultina from the workshop on the Research Agenda conducted in late 1935
Significantly because of the materially improved response that resulted from
thc workshop the TDI-PMO has decided to convene similar workshops on a
regular basis possibly twice a year

unlikely the full ip1ementation of The project within the current PACD
Furthermore the Pr o- ed mod ficiDns in the operating scheme of the
training component ioulc also take some time to work out Accordingly the
7oTDI-P1O is exoected put forard to USAID a request for a two-year extension
of the current PASD f the project is extended then there will be need for
another evaiua-ion in two years
VI RECOMME IDATI OS
in light of all of the foregoing the following recommendations are herein
made with respect to the TDI project
1 The project should continue and the PACD extended by two years to
December 1990
2 Should the Precedinig reccmmendation be approved another evaluation of
the project should be schedule- in thc first half of 1988
3 To contribute to the easing of the countrys debt servicing
difficulties and in consideration of the diffused social benefits of the
project the entire unearmarked loan allocation to the project should be
converted to outright grant
4 To enhance smooth and timely implementation of the project as a whole
and in particular of the non-training elements of the Development issues
Component a clear resolution of the issues that have herein been identified
as having largely held back proect progress should be made and agreements
reached should be clearly set out in project implementation letters
Critical items in this regard are the whole apProach to project
implementation and the related question of compensation for government
personnel and the issue of USAID membership in the Project Steering

7 For reasons that have already been indicated elsewhere in this
report at of part ofleast the management the procedures of the Development
Issues component (which now excludes training) should be transferred or
subcontracted to the Philippine Institute for Development Studies (PIDS) which
has consideraile experience with managing research and working with USAID
8 To improve the implementation of the development issues component
(a) The Steering Committee especially in light of the priorities of
the new GOP administration should focus and prioritize the Agenda of Areas of
Research This should be done with the intent of selecting only a limited
number of development issues in order to concentrate efforts involve more
institutions in the same topic and culminate through a series of activities
in concrete policy recommendations
(b) TDI-PI0 should implement present plans for more frequent workshops
and advertisements to solicit research proposals and to broaden participation
(c) In addition high level NEDA officials should continue to endeavor
to involve directly other ministers and deputy ministers in the selection of
development issue topics research assignments and discussions of results
NEDA should continue to make readily available TDI resources to other
ministries
(d) The regular selection process should be made simpler and quicker
through such steps as greater discretionary power to the NEDA-TDI Project
Manager to approve proposals on already cleared topics without further
approval of the Steering Committee or USAIO up to a limit of say $15000
per proposal
(e) An alternative formechanism selecting consultants should be
designed to meet immediate short-term needs The NEDA-TDI project manager
should have greater authority to initiate on his own within topic guidelines
approved by the Steering Committee and USAID consultancy contracts This
authority snould be limited both as to amount of any individual contract say
$15000 and to the total amount of all such contracts for the year say
$100000
9 The Evaluation Team endorses the TDI-PMO proposals for improving the
overall effectiveness and impact of training activities Specifically
(a)A more detailed training plan for the balance of the project
duration should be prepared based on an updated assessment of institutional
training needs The team feels that in this assessment special attention
should be given to the needs of regional offices Further while maximum
adherence to the formulated plan is desirable provision for some degree of
flexibility should also be allowed to enable the project to respond to
unforeseen but urgent training requirements that may arise in the course of
implemfentation For this purpose ten (10) per cent of the uncommitted
balance of the training allocation could remain unprogrammed and availed of
largely on a need basis
(b) Institutional participation in the training component should be
broadened not so much however by increasing the number of participating
institutions (although possibly that too) but more through the provision of
proportionately more slots to institutions that have been determined to rank
high in the institutional prioritization scheme
(c) Participation from the regional levels should be increased and
perhaps even given priority
(d) Extension of funding support to training in suitable fields in
selected regional training institutions in the country should be undertaken
n this reard full consi deration should be given toi nci uding training
ororms 7 rv ate -c--nal insi tutions The proposal to explore the

not tIen soe shi ftng in proportions should be effected
11 Finally to enable continuini assessment of the extent to which project ojectives for the training component are being achieved the
otng system envisaged nder the project should immediately be
establisned and activated

$4500000 (AID-funded) $1200000 (Grant) $3300000 (Loan) $1500000 (GOP)
Purpose The purpose of the project is to improve the capability of Philippine Government and other institutions to analyze development issues and to make sound and timely development-related decisions
Current Status The above-mentioned purpose is pursued through the implementation of two project components namely (1)Participant Training Component and (2) Development Issues Comoonent As of 31 December 1985 a total of 29 overseas and 15 local training participants nave been supported by the Participant Training Component Meanwhile the Development Issues Component has directed efforts toward the development of the technical base for effective policy analysis Through the conduct of three researches under the broad develoPment issues identified for project attention preparation of concept papers on development planningand policy issues and provision of support for 4 overseas the same
and 34 local training participants As of date the Participant Training Component has
obligated 609 p-r cent of the total loan appropriation it has received so far and 967 per cent of its total grant budget The Developmeit Issues Component on the other hand has obligated 437 per cent of the total loan appropriations and 164 per cent of its total grant budget
I PURPOSE AND TIING OF THE EVALUATION
This evaluation will assess the progress of the implementation of the TDI Project and make reccmmendations for maximizing the projects impact on the development efforts of the Aquino Government It will identify the successful project activities and attempt to explain the advantages these have over ess successful activities It plans to investigate the problems and issues which appear to have hampered or delayedimplementation of the less successful and to determine mechanisms to avoid or resolve them The evaluation also will identiFy and assess new approaches for using project resources to achieve project objectives
More soecifically it will focus on five general areas
a the current status of project implementationb exIec7ations and Perceptions of TDI project by NEDA and USAID and c factors affecting project implementation d selection of DI componenT issues and Training component participants
and e opportunities and mechanisms for improving the project
As scheduled in the project paper the first evaluation will be conducted in FY 86
Based on tne findings the evaluation should recommend whether basicchannes in theproject design and implementation Procedures are necessary The recommendatiors should indicate the advantages and disadvantages of the design and procedural changes advocated
III QUESTIONS FOR THE EVALUATION TEAM
A Current Status

B Expectations and Perceotions
What are NEDAs and AIDs expectations and perceptions regarding the project design implementation procedures factors hinderingimplementation beneficiary groups etc What are AIDs expectations of the NEDA TDI-Project Management Office (TDI-PMO) regarding the latters implementation procedures What are TDI-PMO expectations of USAID regarding project supportbackstopping How do NEDAs and AIDs percepticns compare with actual implementation procedures Are both sidessatisfied with the manner by which the implementation process is proceeding 1f not what are the areas and reasons for dissatisfaction
C Factors Affectino Project Imolementation
What factors explain the progress or lack of progress of both the trainingand development issues components What are the major factors contributing to delays in project implmentation Are the delays a function of project design How were the guidelines in the PP and other ooverning documents applied Are the assumptions underlying the projectdesign and iMPlementation plans valid How can the NEDA TDi-ProjectManagement Office (TDI-PMO) further raise its institutional capability eg staff availability and appropriate organizational structure to implement the plan as scheduled How can USAID further improve itsbackstopping for the project Are there external factors eg lack of interest in potential participant organizations affectingimplementation Are there budget-related problems such provision ofas

IV TEAM COMIPOSITION
The evaluation team must exhibit a thorough understanding of the following subject areas
1 Operations of the GOP specifically of NEDA and OEM2 Philippine develoDment issues and how these relate to policies3 IMechanics of Ai0 and USAIDPhilippines and4 The nature of the relationshio between USAID and N-DA5 The develooment priorities and opportunities of the Aquino government
The teams comPosition should represent expertise in the fields of organizational planning and management policy-making evaluation and management of research and training activities Given the sensitivities surrounding this project and the importance of this evaluation the teamshould not only be experts in the subject areas above they should also bewell known and respected by both INEDA and AID A team is expected to becomposed of a mix of Philippine and US consulrants or MissionAIDWashington personnel
The team will not have to collect and analyze a great deal of information because there have been very few implementation actions to date Thus asmall team of perhaps three or maybe four highly qualified persons should be sufficient

D Areas for gtnorovein
The foregoing general observations notwi thstanding however there are
definite areas for improvement in the operation and implementation of training
activities
o e-n viith the priorit zation scheme adopted while useful in guiding
the evaluation of specific requests fo training assistance leaves too much
room for flexibility in decision-making While the need for and the value of
flexibility in a program of this nature recognized too much it couldis of
easily lead to distortions in Program results That this has tended to be the
case is evident from the folloino
a) The predominance of gtEDA itself as recipient institution of the
training grants Of the fifty-nine (59) slots that had been made
available twen-y-two 2) or more thian a thi -d went to IEDA official s
and employees Relative to the slots that went to institutions in the
first priority list (43) the proportion is even higher at slightly
over half While a large proportion of project training funds going
to NEDA staff may be justifiable in terms of the institutions central
role in Philippine development plannin and policy-formulation such a
high proportion of resources going to a single agency is rather
excessive
b) Relatedly the predominance of fields of a general development nature
ie Economics Planning IMlanagement and Public Acimnistration and
Statistics in the fields of training supported under the project
These acounted for forty-four (44) of the fifty nne (59) slots
Again whlle the value of a broad perspective in policy-formulation is
recognized threo-fourtihs of the training allocation going into thi3
19shy
type of general zraining wou d seem to unduly undervalue tiie ieed for
more specza~ized types of poli cy anal vsis called for in many areas of
Phiippine development T is of course Dossble that these needs are
already being addressed tirou-gh projects other than the underone
consideration if so then - e present ellocation under the TDI
Project may well be jusified Unfortunately time constraints have
7 no- enabled -i-oser nvesiation of this mattershy
c) Funding of pr-grans in Law and Justice which though related to
socio economic development policy formulation is at best only
distantly so ParLicipation for instance in programs on American amp
internat-ional a as well as -n the US Legal System by members of
the Regional Trial Courts is to say the least difficult to justify
under tiis project However support towards laster s degrees in
Engineering of which rhere are two probably is justifiable as these
may be classified among the manpower skills critical to national and
regional development
d) Relative imbalance in the distribution of training slots between
participants from central offices and those from the regions Of the
fifty-nine (59) slots made available less than ten have gone to participants from the reg-onai offices Considering the thrust of the
present government towards genuine regionalzation including NEDAs
own interests improvements in this regard are especially called for
For instance the nei government is strengthening the role of the
Regional Development Council- and therefore these may be additional
training needs
_ According to the Hanager of the Participant Training Component this was in fact the case
The seconc road a-ea for improvemert is in monit-ori ng The establ i shment
of a sstem for monitoring of zrain n oarticioants both during and more
importantly after traind1n Was envsioned in thne project design The first
batch or tra nees iho went through one year programs in SY 1934 have been back
on the job for a ear and tiose wiho underwenr shorter programs have been back
for a longe period To cate hovever no back to office monitoring has been
undertken rendr in- di-ficut the assssent of traininc imDact relative to
obj ectives
E Usefulness of Training
Towards this end however limited interviews of immediate supervisors of
returned trai nees wiere carried out in this evaluation to obtain some feel for
the usefulness o1 training to the sponsoring institutions
in general the assessment of training impact has been very positive with
significant improvements observed in the overall depth and breadth of
analytical outputs of returned trainees in one instance however even
before the outset of tne training program the participant was transferred to
another unit to which immediate applicabilit of the training eventua1y
received was minimal thoh nonethelss potentially useful
On the transfer of knowledgeskills acquired to other personnel of the
sponsoring Insitutions the general approach has been through informal
discussions on the j o
- 21 -
V PRQ ECT SGJ I IT AND OUTLOOK
Implementation problems notwithstanding current evidence supports the
continued usefulness off the project towards the objective of building up
institutional capacities for policy analysis and decision-making in the
PhiliPPine bureaucracy The Tax Administration and Compliance Study for
instance thouqh still in the process of finalization has already contributed
siqnificant inputs to the recent formulation of a new Tax Reform Package
Outputs of the on-going research on Sectoral Classification of Trade and
Inve ment Data are already being programmed for use in the current drafting
of the Philippine Development Plan for 1987-1992 Limited interviews have
also established the positive contributions of training supported under the
project in terms of improved overall quality of analytical work of returned
trainees
The potential impact of the project is further considerably enhanced by
the fact of a new government which is seriously engaged in a broad-ranging
effort to review and as needed recast the whole gamut of policies
structures and procedures that intimately affect both the current and the
future life of the nation
In terms of project operations recent developments augur well for
improvements not only in the pace of project implementation but also in terms
of broadening the projects overall impact In the case of the Development
Issues Component mention has already been made of positive expectations
resultina from the workshop on the Research Agenda conducted in late 1935
Significantly because of the materially improved response that resulted from
thc workshop the TDI-PMO has decided to convene similar workshops on a
regular basis possibly twice a year

unlikely the full ip1ementation of The project within the current PACD
Furthermore the Pr o- ed mod ficiDns in the operating scheme of the
training component ioulc also take some time to work out Accordingly the
7oTDI-P1O is exoected put forard to USAID a request for a two-year extension
of the current PASD f the project is extended then there will be need for
another evaiua-ion in two years
VI RECOMME IDATI OS
in light of all of the foregoing the following recommendations are herein
made with respect to the TDI project
1 The project should continue and the PACD extended by two years to
December 1990
2 Should the Precedinig reccmmendation be approved another evaluation of
the project should be schedule- in thc first half of 1988
3 To contribute to the easing of the countrys debt servicing
difficulties and in consideration of the diffused social benefits of the
project the entire unearmarked loan allocation to the project should be
converted to outright grant
4 To enhance smooth and timely implementation of the project as a whole
and in particular of the non-training elements of the Development issues
Component a clear resolution of the issues that have herein been identified
as having largely held back proect progress should be made and agreements
reached should be clearly set out in project implementation letters
Critical items in this regard are the whole apProach to project
implementation and the related question of compensation for government
personnel and the issue of USAID membership in the Project Steering

7 For reasons that have already been indicated elsewhere in this
report at of part ofleast the management the procedures of the Development
Issues component (which now excludes training) should be transferred or
subcontracted to the Philippine Institute for Development Studies (PIDS) which
has consideraile experience with managing research and working with USAID
8 To improve the implementation of the development issues component
(a) The Steering Committee especially in light of the priorities of
the new GOP administration should focus and prioritize the Agenda of Areas of
Research This should be done with the intent of selecting only a limited
number of development issues in order to concentrate efforts involve more
institutions in the same topic and culminate through a series of activities
in concrete policy recommendations
(b) TDI-PI0 should implement present plans for more frequent workshops
and advertisements to solicit research proposals and to broaden participation
(c) In addition high level NEDA officials should continue to endeavor
to involve directly other ministers and deputy ministers in the selection of
development issue topics research assignments and discussions of results
NEDA should continue to make readily available TDI resources to other
ministries
(d) The regular selection process should be made simpler and quicker
through such steps as greater discretionary power to the NEDA-TDI Project
Manager to approve proposals on already cleared topics without further
approval of the Steering Committee or USAIO up to a limit of say $15000
per proposal
(e) An alternative formechanism selecting consultants should be
designed to meet immediate short-term needs The NEDA-TDI project manager
should have greater authority to initiate on his own within topic guidelines
approved by the Steering Committee and USAID consultancy contracts This
authority snould be limited both as to amount of any individual contract say
$15000 and to the total amount of all such contracts for the year say
$100000
9 The Evaluation Team endorses the TDI-PMO proposals for improving the
overall effectiveness and impact of training activities Specifically
(a)A more detailed training plan for the balance of the project
duration should be prepared based on an updated assessment of institutional
training needs The team feels that in this assessment special attention
should be given to the needs of regional offices Further while maximum
adherence to the formulated plan is desirable provision for some degree of
flexibility should also be allowed to enable the project to respond to
unforeseen but urgent training requirements that may arise in the course of
implemfentation For this purpose ten (10) per cent of the uncommitted
balance of the training allocation could remain unprogrammed and availed of
largely on a need basis
(b) Institutional participation in the training component should be
broadened not so much however by increasing the number of participating
institutions (although possibly that too) but more through the provision of
proportionately more slots to institutions that have been determined to rank
high in the institutional prioritization scheme
(c) Participation from the regional levels should be increased and
perhaps even given priority
(d) Extension of funding support to training in suitable fields in
selected regional training institutions in the country should be undertaken
n this reard full consi deration should be given toi nci uding training
ororms 7 rv ate -c--nal insi tutions The proposal to explore the
devloomnt of a aster s roram in DcveloDment Economics at the UP in
Diliman is siMilarlI endorsed
10 7n add-isn to the forejoing a reassessment of the distribution of
ii-s is-ai r 1 ly t iclh general and te more
setor-soecifiPopo1 cy analysi s stud prcgrams should be unde rtaken to ensure
th t the latter type of neecs is indeed being adequately addressed through
thi-s rojett in comb na tion i - othr d or-assi sted training programs If
not tIen soe shi ftng in proportions should be effected
11 Finally to enable continuini assessment of the extent to which project ojectives for the training component are being achieved the
otng system envisaged nder the project should immediately be
establisned and activated

IV TEAM COMIPOSITION
The evaluation team must exhibit a thorough understanding of the following subject areas
1 Operations of the GOP specifically of NEDA and OEM2 Philippine develoDment issues and how these relate to policies3 IMechanics of Ai0 and USAIDPhilippines and4 The nature of the relationshio between USAID and N-DA5 The develooment priorities and opportunities of the Aquino government
The teams comPosition should represent expertise in the fields of organizational planning and management policy-making evaluation and management of research and training activities Given the sensitivities surrounding this project and the importance of this evaluation the teamshould not only be experts in the subject areas above they should also bewell known and respected by both INEDA and AID A team is expected to becomposed of a mix of Philippine and US consulrants or MissionAIDWashington personnel
The team will not have to collect and analyze a great deal of information because there have been very few implementation actions to date Thus asmall team of perhaps three or maybe four highly qualified persons should be sufficient

D Areas for gtnorovein
The foregoing general observations notwi thstanding however there are
definite areas for improvement in the operation and implementation of training
activities
o e-n viith the priorit zation scheme adopted while useful in guiding
the evaluation of specific requests fo training assistance leaves too much
room for flexibility in decision-making While the need for and the value of
flexibility in a program of this nature recognized too much it couldis of
easily lead to distortions in Program results That this has tended to be the
case is evident from the folloino
a) The predominance of gtEDA itself as recipient institution of the
training grants Of the fifty-nine (59) slots that had been made
available twen-y-two 2) or more thian a thi -d went to IEDA official s
and employees Relative to the slots that went to institutions in the
first priority list (43) the proportion is even higher at slightly
over half While a large proportion of project training funds going
to NEDA staff may be justifiable in terms of the institutions central
role in Philippine development plannin and policy-formulation such a
high proportion of resources going to a single agency is rather
excessive
b) Relatedly the predominance of fields of a general development nature
ie Economics Planning IMlanagement and Public Acimnistration and
Statistics in the fields of training supported under the project
These acounted for forty-four (44) of the fifty nne (59) slots
Again whlle the value of a broad perspective in policy-formulation is
recognized threo-fourtihs of the training allocation going into thi3

type of general zraining wou d seem to unduly undervalue tiie ieed for
more specza~ized types of poli cy anal vsis called for in many areas of
Phiippine development T is of course Dossble that these needs are
already being addressed tirou-gh projects other than the underone
consideration if so then - e present ellocation under the TDI
Project may well be jusified Unfortunately time constraints have
7 no- enabled -i-oser nvesiation of this mattershy
c) Funding of pr-grans in Law and Justice which though related to
socio economic development policy formulation is at best only
distantly so ParLicipation for instance in programs on American amp
internat-ional a as well as -n the US Legal System by members of
the Regional Trial Courts is to say the least difficult to justify
under tiis project However support towards laster s degrees in
Engineering of which rhere are two probably is justifiable as these
may be classified among the manpower skills critical to national and
regional development
d) Relative imbalance in the distribution of training slots between
participants from central offices and those from the regions Of the
fifty-nine (59) slots made available less than ten have gone to participants from the reg-onai offices Considering the thrust of the
present government towards genuine regionalzation including NEDAs
own interests improvements in this regard are especially called for
For instance the nei government is strengthening the role of the
Regional Development Council- and therefore these may be additional
training needs
_ According to the Hanager of the Participant Training Component this was in fact the case
The seconc road a-ea for improvemert is in monit-ori ng The establ i shment
of a sstem for monitoring of zrain n oarticioants both during and more
importantly after traind1n Was envsioned in thne project design The first
batch or tra nees iho went through one year programs in SY 1934 have been back
on the job for a ear and tiose wiho underwenr shorter programs have been back
for a longe period To cate hovever no back to office monitoring has been
undertken rendr in- di-ficut the assssent of traininc imDact relative to
obj ectives
E Usefulness of Training
Towards this end however limited interviews of immediate supervisors of
returned trai nees wiere carried out in this evaluation to obtain some feel for
the usefulness o1 training to the sponsoring institutions
in general the assessment of training impact has been very positive with
significant improvements observed in the overall depth and breadth of
analytical outputs of returned trainees in one instance however even
before the outset of tne training program the participant was transferred to
another unit to which immediate applicabilit of the training eventua1y
received was minimal thoh nonethelss potentially useful
On the transfer of knowledgeskills acquired to other personnel of the
sponsoring Insitutions the general approach has been through informal
discussions on the j o

V PRQ ECT SGJ I IT AND OUTLOOK
Implementation problems notwithstanding current evidence supports the
continued usefulness off the project towards the objective of building up
institutional capacities for policy analysis and decision-making in the
PhiliPPine bureaucracy The Tax Administration and Compliance Study for
instance thouqh still in the process of finalization has already contributed
siqnificant inputs to the recent formulation of a new Tax Reform Package
Outputs of the on-going research on Sectoral Classification of Trade and
Inve ment Data are already being programmed for use in the current drafting
of the Philippine Development Plan for 1987-1992 Limited interviews have
also established the positive contributions of training supported under the
project in terms of improved overall quality of analytical work of returned
trainees
The potential impact of the project is further considerably enhanced by
the fact of a new government which is seriously engaged in a broad-ranging
effort to review and as needed recast the whole gamut of policies
structures and procedures that intimately affect both the current and the
future life of the nation
In terms of project operations recent developments augur well for
improvements not only in the pace of project implementation but also in terms
of broadening the projects overall impact In the case of the Development
Issues Component mention has already been made of positive expectations
resultina from the workshop on the Research Agenda conducted in late 1935
Significantly because of the materially improved response that resulted from
thc workshop the TDI-PMO has decided to convene similar workshops on a
regular basis possibly twice a year

unlikely the full ip1ementation of The project within the current PACD
Furthermore the Pr o- ed mod ficiDns in the operating scheme of the
training component ioulc also take some time to work out Accordingly the
7oTDI-P1O is exoected put forard to USAID a request for a two-year extension
of the current PASD f the project is extended then there will be need for
another evaiua-ion in two years
VI RECOMME IDATI OS
in light of all of the foregoing the following recommendations are herein
made with respect to the TDI project
1 The project should continue and the PACD extended by two years to
December 1990
2 Should the Precedinig reccmmendation be approved another evaluation of
the project should be schedule- in thc first half of 1988
3 To contribute to the easing of the countrys debt servicing
difficulties and in consideration of the diffused social benefits of the
project the entire unearmarked loan allocation to the project should be
converted to outright grant
4 To enhance smooth and timely implementation of the project as a whole
and in particular of the non-training elements of the Development issues
Component a clear resolution of the issues that have herein been identified
as having largely held back proect progress should be made and agreements
reached should be clearly set out in project implementation letters
Critical items in this regard are the whole apProach to project
implementation and the related question of compensation for government
personnel and the issue of USAID membership in the Project Steering

7 For reasons that have already been indicated elsewhere in this
report at of part ofleast the management the procedures of the Development
Issues component (which now excludes training) should be transferred or
subcontracted to the Philippine Institute for Development Studies (PIDS) which
has consideraile experience with managing research and working with USAID
8 To improve the implementation of the development issues component
(a) The Steering Committee especially in light of the priorities of
the new GOP administration should focus and prioritize the Agenda of Areas of
Research This should be done with the intent of selecting only a limited
number of development issues in order to concentrate efforts involve more
institutions in the same topic and culminate through a series of activities
in concrete policy recommendations
(b) TDI-PI0 should implement present plans for more frequent workshops
and advertisements to solicit research proposals and to broaden participation
(c) In addition high level NEDA officials should continue to endeavor
to involve directly other ministers and deputy ministers in the selection of
development issue topics research assignments and discussions of results
NEDA should continue to make readily available TDI resources to other
ministries
(d) The regular selection process should be made simpler and quicker
through such steps as greater discretionary power to the NEDA-TDI Project
Manager to approve proposals on already cleared topics without further
approval of the Steering Committee or USAIO up to a limit of say $15000
per proposal
(e) An alternative formechanism selecting consultants should be
designed to meet immediate short-term needs The NEDA-TDI project manager
should have greater authority to initiate on his own within topic guidelines
approved by the Steering Committee and USAID consultancy contracts This
authority snould be limited both as to amount of any individual contract say
$15000 and to the total amount of all such contracts for the year say
$100000
9 The Evaluation Team endorses the TDI-PMO proposals for improving the
overall effectiveness and impact of training activities Specifically
(a)A more detailed training plan for the balance of the project
duration should be prepared based on an updated assessment of institutional
training needs The team feels that in this assessment special attention
should be given to the needs of regional offices Further while maximum
adherence to the formulated plan is desirable provision for some degree of
flexibility should also be allowed to enable the project to respond to
unforeseen but urgent training requirements that may arise in the course of
implemfentation For this purpose ten (10) per cent of the uncommitted
balance of the training allocation could remain unprogrammed and availed of
largely on a need basis
(b) Institutional participation in the training component should be
broadened not so much however by increasing the number of participating
institutions (although possibly that too) but more through the provision of
proportionately more slots to institutions that have been determined to rank
high in the institutional prioritization scheme
(c) Participation from the regional levels should be increased and
perhaps even given priority
(d) Extension of funding support to training in suitable fields in
selected regional training institutions in the country should be undertaken
n this reard full consi deration should be given toi nci uding training
ororms 7 rv ate -c--nal insi tutions The proposal to explore the
devloomnt of a aster s roram in DcveloDment Economics at the UP in

th t the latter type of neecs is indeed being adequately addressed through
thi-s rojett in comb na tion i - othr d or-assi sted training programs If
not tIen soe shi ftng in proportions should be effected
11 Finally to enable continuini assessment of the extent to which project ojectives for the training component are being achieved the
otng system envisaged nder the project should immediately be
establisned and activated

I THE PROJECT
Title Training and Development Issues Project (492-0340) Project Start July 29 1983 PACD December 31 1983 Funding $6000000 (TOTAL)
$4500000 (AID-funded) $1200000 (Grant) $3300000 (Loan) $1500000 (GOP)
Purpose The purpose of the project is to improve the capability of Philippine Government and other institutions to analyze development issues and to make sound and timely development-related decisions
Current Status The above-mentioned purpose is pursued through the implementation of two project components namely (1)Participant Training Component and (2) Development Issues Comoonent As of 31 December 1985 a total of 29 overseas and 15 local training participants nave been supported by the Participant Training Component Meanwhile the Development Issues Component has directed efforts toward the development of the technical base for effective policy analysis Through the conduct of three researches under the broad develoPment issues identified for project attention preparation of concept papers on development planningand policy issues and provision of support for 4 overseas the same
and 34 local training participants As of date the Participant Training Component has
obligated 609 p-r cent of the total loan appropriation it has received so far and 967 per cent of its total grant budget The Developmeit Issues Component on the other hand has obligated 437 per cent of the total loan appropriations and 164 per cent of its total grant budget
I PURPOSE AND TIING OF THE EVALUATION
This evaluation will assess the progress of the implementation of the TDI Project and make reccmmendations for maximizing the projects impact on the development efforts of the Aquino Government It will identify the successful project activities and attempt to explain the advantages these have over ess successful activities It plans to investigate the problems and issues which appear to have hampered or delayedimplementation of the less successful and to determine mechanisms to avoid or resolve them The evaluation also will identiFy and assess new approaches for using project resources to achieve project objectives
More soecifically it will focus on five general areas
a the current status of project implementationb exIec7ations and Perceptions of TDI project by NEDA and USAID and c factors affecting project implementation d selection of DI componenT issues and Training component participants
and e opportunities and mechanisms for improving the project
As scheduled in the project paper the first evaluation will be conducted in FY 86
Based on tne findings the evaluation should recommend whether basicchannes in theproject design and implementation Procedures are necessary The recommendatiors should indicate the advantages and disadvantages of the design and procedural changes advocated

7S imDlementation of the TDI Project proceeding as planned What are thevariances between projected and observed schedules for implementing the training and development issues components of the project If such variances exist what are their probable impact on the overall impIlmentation Plan Is it likely that the project purpose will be achieved by the PACD
B Expectations and Perceotions
What are NEDAs and AIDs expectations and perceptions regarding the project design implementation procedures factors hinderingimplementation beneficiary groups etc What are AIDs expectations of the NEDA TDI-Project Management Office (TDI-PMO) regarding the latters implementation procedures What are TDI-PMO expectations of USAID regarding project supportbackstopping How do NEDAs and AIDs percepticns compare with actual implementation procedures Are both sidessatisfied with the manner by which the implementation process is proceeding 1f not what are the areas and reasons for dissatisfaction
C Factors Affectino Project Imolementation
What factors explain the progress or lack of progress of both the trainingand development issues components What are the major factors contributing to delays in project implmentation Are the delays a function of project design How were the guidelines in the PP and other ooverning documents applied Are the assumptions underlying the projectdesign and iMPlementation plans valid How can the NEDA TDi-ProjectManagement Office (TDI-PMO) further raise its institutional capability eg staff availability and appropriate organizational structure to implement the plan as scheduled How can USAID further improve itsbackstopping for the project Are there external factors eg lack of interest in potential participant organizations affectingimplementation Are there budget-related problems such provision ofas

IV TEAM COMIPOSITION
The evaluation team must exhibit a thorough understanding of the following subject areas
1 Operations of the GOP specifically of NEDA and OEM2 Philippine develoDment issues and how these relate to policies3 IMechanics of Ai0 and USAIDPhilippines and4 The nature of the relationshio between USAID and N-DA5 The develooment priorities and opportunities of the Aquino government
The teams comPosition should represent expertise in the fields of organizational planning and management policy-making evaluation and management of research and training activities Given the sensitivities surrounding this project and the importance of this evaluation the teamshould not only be experts in the subject areas above they should also bewell known and respected by both INEDA and AID A team is expected to becomposed of a mix of Philippine and US consulrants or MissionAIDWashington personnel
The team will not have to collect and analyze a great deal of information because there have been very few implementation actions to date Thus asmall team of perhaps three or maybe four highly qualified persons should be sufficient

D Areas for gtnorovein
The foregoing general observations notwi thstanding however there are
definite areas for improvement in the operation and implementation of training
activities
o e-n viith the priorit zation scheme adopted while useful in guiding
the evaluation of specific requests fo training assistance leaves too much
room for flexibility in decision-making While the need for and the value of
flexibility in a program of this nature recognized too much it couldis of
easily lead to distortions in Program results That this has tended to be the
case is evident from the folloino
a) The predominance of gtEDA itself as recipient institution of the
training grants Of the fifty-nine (59) slots that had been made
available twen-y-two 2) or more thian a thi -d went to IEDA official s
and employees Relative to the slots that went to institutions in the
first priority list (43) the proportion is even higher at slightly
over half While a large proportion of project training funds going
to NEDA staff may be justifiable in terms of the institutions central
role in Philippine development plannin and policy-formulation such a
high proportion of resources going to a single agency is rather
excessive
b) Relatedly the predominance of fields of a general development nature
ie Economics Planning IMlanagement and Public Acimnistration and
Statistics in the fields of training supported under the project
These acounted for forty-four (44) of the fifty nne (59) slots
Again whlle the value of a broad perspective in policy-formulation is
recognized threo-fourtihs of the training allocation going into thi3
19shy
type of general zraining wou d seem to unduly undervalue tiie ieed for
more specza~ized types of poli cy anal vsis called for in many areas of
Phiippine development T is of course Dossble that these needs are
already being addressed tirou-gh projects other than the underone
consideration if so then - e present ellocation under the TDI
Project may well be jusified Unfortunately time constraints have
7 no- enabled -i-oser nvesiation of this mattershy
c) Funding of pr-grans in Law and Justice which though related to
socio economic development policy formulation is at best only
distantly so ParLicipation for instance in programs on American amp
internat-ional a as well as -n the US Legal System by members of
the Regional Trial Courts is to say the least difficult to justify
under tiis project However support towards laster s degrees in
Engineering of which rhere are two probably is justifiable as these
may be classified among the manpower skills critical to national and
regional development
d) Relative imbalance in the distribution of training slots between
participants from central offices and those from the regions Of the
fifty-nine (59) slots made available less than ten have gone to participants from the reg-onai offices Considering the thrust of the
present government towards genuine regionalzation including NEDAs
own interests improvements in this regard are especially called for
For instance the nei government is strengthening the role of the
Regional Development Council- and therefore these may be additional
training needs
_ According to the Hanager of the Participant Training Component this was in fact the case
The seconc road a-ea for improvemert is in monit-ori ng The establ i shment
of a sstem for monitoring of zrain n oarticioants both during and more
importantly after traind1n Was envsioned in thne project design The first
batch or tra nees iho went through one year programs in SY 1934 have been back
on the job for a ear and tiose wiho underwenr shorter programs have been back
for a longe period To cate hovever no back to office monitoring has been
undertken rendr in- di-ficut the assssent of traininc imDact relative to
obj ectives
E Usefulness of Training
Towards this end however limited interviews of immediate supervisors of
returned trai nees wiere carried out in this evaluation to obtain some feel for
the usefulness o1 training to the sponsoring institutions
in general the assessment of training impact has been very positive with
significant improvements observed in the overall depth and breadth of
analytical outputs of returned trainees in one instance however even
before the outset of tne training program the participant was transferred to
another unit to which immediate applicabilit of the training eventua1y
received was minimal thoh nonethelss potentially useful
On the transfer of knowledgeskills acquired to other personnel of the
sponsoring Insitutions the general approach has been through informal
discussions on the j o

V PRQ ECT SGJ I IT AND OUTLOOK
Implementation problems notwithstanding current evidence supports the
continued usefulness off the project towards the objective of building up
institutional capacities for policy analysis and decision-making in the
PhiliPPine bureaucracy The Tax Administration and Compliance Study for
instance thouqh still in the process of finalization has already contributed
siqnificant inputs to the recent formulation of a new Tax Reform Package
Outputs of the on-going research on Sectoral Classification of Trade and
Inve ment Data are already being programmed for use in the current drafting
of the Philippine Development Plan for 1987-1992 Limited interviews have
also established the positive contributions of training supported under the
project in terms of improved overall quality of analytical work of returned
trainees
The potential impact of the project is further considerably enhanced by
the fact of a new government which is seriously engaged in a broad-ranging
effort to review and as needed recast the whole gamut of policies
structures and procedures that intimately affect both the current and the
future life of the nation
In terms of project operations recent developments augur well for
improvements not only in the pace of project implementation but also in terms
of broadening the projects overall impact In the case of the Development
Issues Component mention has already been made of positive expectations
resultina from the workshop on the Research Agenda conducted in late 1935
Significantly because of the materially improved response that resulted from
thc workshop the TDI-PMO has decided to convene similar workshops on a
regular basis possibly twice a year

Furthermore the Pr o- ed mod ficiDns in the operating scheme of the
training component ioulc also take some time to work out Accordingly the

of the current PASD f the project is extended then there will be need for
another evaiua-ion in two years
VI RECOMME IDATI OS
in light of all of the foregoing the following recommendations are herein
made with respect to the TDI project
1 The project should continue and the PACD extended by two years to
December 1990
2 Should the Precedinig reccmmendation be approved another evaluation of
the project should be schedule- in thc first half of 1988
3 To contribute to the easing of the countrys debt servicing
difficulties and in consideration of the diffused social benefits of the
project the entire unearmarked loan allocation to the project should be
converted to outright grant
4 To enhance smooth and timely implementation of the project as a whole
and in particular of the non-training elements of the Development issues
Component a clear resolution of the issues that have herein been identified
as having largely held back proect progress should be made and agreements
reached should be clearly set out in project implementation letters
Critical items in this regard are the whole apProach to project
implementation and the related question of compensation for government
personnel and the issue of USAID membership in the Project Steering

7 For reasons that have already been indicated elsewhere in this
report at of part ofleast the management the procedures of the Development
Issues component (which now excludes training) should be transferred or
subcontracted to the Philippine Institute for Development Studies (PIDS) which
has consideraile experience with managing research and working with USAID
8 To improve the implementation of the development issues component
(a) The Steering Committee especially in light of the priorities of
the new GOP administration should focus and prioritize the Agenda of Areas of
Research This should be done with the intent of selecting only a limited
number of development issues in order to concentrate efforts involve more
institutions in the same topic and culminate through a series of activities
in concrete policy recommendations
(b) TDI-PI0 should implement present plans for more frequent workshops
and advertisements to solicit research proposals and to broaden participation
(c) In addition high level NEDA officials should continue to endeavor
to involve directly other ministers and deputy ministers in the selection of
development issue topics research assignments and discussions of results
NEDA should continue to make readily available TDI resources to other
ministries
(d) The regular selection process should be made simpler and quicker
through such steps as greater discretionary power to the NEDA-TDI Project
Manager to approve proposals on already cleared topics without further
approval of the Steering Committee or USAIO up to a limit of say $15000
per proposal
(e) An alternative formechanism selecting consultants should be
designed to meet immediate short-term needs The NEDA-TDI project manager
should have greater authority to initiate on his own within topic guidelines
approved by the Steering Committee and USAID consultancy contracts This
authority snould be limited both as to amount of any individual contract say
$15000 and to the total amount of all such contracts for the year say
$100000
9 The Evaluation Team endorses the TDI-PMO proposals for improving the
overall effectiveness and impact of training activities Specifically
(a)A more detailed training plan for the balance of the project
duration should be prepared based on an updated assessment of institutional
training needs The team feels that in this assessment special attention
should be given to the needs of regional offices Further while maximum
adherence to the formulated plan is desirable provision for some degree of
flexibility should also be allowed to enable the project to respond to
unforeseen but urgent training requirements that may arise in the course of
implemfentation For this purpose ten (10) per cent of the uncommitted
balance of the training allocation could remain unprogrammed and availed of
largely on a need basis
(b) Institutional participation in the training component should be
broadened not so much however by increasing the number of participating
institutions (although possibly that too) but more through the provision of
proportionately more slots to institutions that have been determined to rank
high in the institutional prioritization scheme
(c) Participation from the regional levels should be increased and
perhaps even given priority
(d) Extension of funding support to training in suitable fields in
selected regional training institutions in the country should be undertaken
n this reard full consi deration should be given toi nci uding training
ororms 7 rv ate -c--nal insi tutions The proposal to explore the
devloomnt of a aster s roram in DcveloDment Economics at the UP in

th t the latter type of neecs is indeed being adequately addressed through
thi-s rojett in comb na tion i - othr d or-assi sted training programs If
not tIen soe shi ftng in proportions should be effected
11 Finally to enable continuini assessment of the extent to which project ojectives for the training component are being achieved the
otng system envisaged nder the project should immediately be
establisned and activated

$4500000 (AID-funded) $1200000 (Grant) $3300000 (Loan) $1500000 (GOP)
Purpose The purpose of the project is to improve the capability of Philippine Government and other institutions to analyze development issues and to make sound and timely development-related decisions
Current Status The above-mentioned purpose is pursued through the implementation of two project components namely (1)Participant Training Component and (2) Development Issues Comoonent As of 31 December 1985 a total of 29 overseas and 15 local training participants nave been supported by the Participant Training Component Meanwhile the Development Issues Component has directed efforts toward the development of the technical base for effective policy analysis Through the conduct of three researches under the broad develoPment issues identified for project attention preparation of concept papers on development planningand policy issues and provision of support for 4 overseas the same
and 34 local training participants As of date the Participant Training Component has
obligated 609 p-r cent of the total loan appropriation it has received so far and 967 per cent of its total grant budget The Developmeit Issues Component on the other hand has obligated 437 per cent of the total loan appropriations and 164 per cent of its total grant budget
I PURPOSE AND TIING OF THE EVALUATION
This evaluation will assess the progress of the implementation of the TDI Project and make reccmmendations for maximizing the projects impact on the development efforts of the Aquino Government It will identify the successful project activities and attempt to explain the advantages these have over ess successful activities It plans to investigate the problems and issues which appear to have hampered or delayedimplementation of the less successful and to determine mechanisms to avoid or resolve them The evaluation also will identiFy and assess new approaches for using project resources to achieve project objectives
More soecifically it will focus on five general areas
a the current status of project implementationb exIec7ations and Perceptions of TDI project by NEDA and USAID and c factors affecting project implementation d selection of DI componenT issues and Training component participants
and e opportunities and mechanisms for improving the project
As scheduled in the project paper the first evaluation will be conducted in FY 86
Based on tne findings the evaluation should recommend whether basicchannes in theproject design and implementation Procedures are necessary The recommendatiors should indicate the advantages and disadvantages of the design and procedural changes advocated
III QUESTIONS FOR THE EVALUATION TEAM

IV TEAM COMIPOSITION
The evaluation team must exhibit a thorough understanding of the following subject areas
1 Operations of the GOP specifically of NEDA and OEM2 Philippine develoDment issues and how these relate to policies3 IMechanics of Ai0 and USAIDPhilippines and4 The nature of the relationshio between USAID and N-DA5 The develooment priorities and opportunities of the Aquino government
The teams comPosition should represent expertise in the fields of organizational planning and management policy-making evaluation and management of research and training activities Given the sensitivities surrounding this project and the importance of this evaluation the teamshould not only be experts in the subject areas above they should also bewell known and respected by both INEDA and AID A team is expected to becomposed of a mix of Philippine and US consulrants or MissionAIDWashington personnel
The team will not have to collect and analyze a great deal of information because there have been very few implementation actions to date Thus asmall team of perhaps three or maybe four highly qualified persons should be sufficient

definite areas for improvement in the operation and implementation of training
activities
o e-n viith the priorit zation scheme adopted while useful in guiding
the evaluation of specific requests fo training assistance leaves too much
room for flexibility in decision-making While the need for and the value of
flexibility in a program of this nature recognized too much it couldis of
easily lead to distortions in Program results That this has tended to be the
case is evident from the folloino
a) The predominance of gtEDA itself as recipient institution of the
training grants Of the fifty-nine (59) slots that had been made
available twen-y-two 2) or more thian a thi -d went to IEDA official s
and employees Relative to the slots that went to institutions in the
first priority list (43) the proportion is even higher at slightly
over half While a large proportion of project training funds going
to NEDA staff may be justifiable in terms of the institutions central
role in Philippine development plannin and policy-formulation such a
high proportion of resources going to a single agency is rather
excessive
b) Relatedly the predominance of fields of a general development nature
ie Economics Planning IMlanagement and Public Acimnistration and
Statistics in the fields of training supported under the project
These acounted for forty-four (44) of the fifty nne (59) slots
Again whlle the value of a broad perspective in policy-formulation is
recognized threo-fourtihs of the training allocation going into thi3

type of general zraining wou d seem to unduly undervalue tiie ieed for
more specza~ized types of poli cy anal vsis called for in many areas of
Phiippine development T is of course Dossble that these needs are
already being addressed tirou-gh projects other than the underone
consideration if so then - e present ellocation under the TDI
Project may well be jusified Unfortunately time constraints have
7 no- enabled -i-oser nvesiation of this mattershy
c) Funding of pr-grans in Law and Justice which though related to
socio economic development policy formulation is at best only
distantly so ParLicipation for instance in programs on American amp
internat-ional a as well as -n the US Legal System by members of
the Regional Trial Courts is to say the least difficult to justify
under tiis project However support towards laster s degrees in
Engineering of which rhere are two probably is justifiable as these
may be classified among the manpower skills critical to national and
regional development
d) Relative imbalance in the distribution of training slots between
participants from central offices and those from the regions Of the
fifty-nine (59) slots made available less than ten have gone to participants from the reg-onai offices Considering the thrust of the
present government towards genuine regionalzation including NEDAs
own interests improvements in this regard are especially called for
For instance the nei government is strengthening the role of the
Regional Development Council- and therefore these may be additional
training needs
_ According to the Hanager of the Participant Training Component this was in fact the case
The seconc road a-ea for improvemert is in monit-ori ng The establ i shment
of a sstem for monitoring of zrain n oarticioants both during and more
importantly after traind1n Was envsioned in thne project design The first
batch or tra nees iho went through one year programs in SY 1934 have been back
on the job for a ear and tiose wiho underwenr shorter programs have been back
for a longe period To cate hovever no back to office monitoring has been
undertken rendr in- di-ficut the assssent of traininc imDact relative to
obj ectives
E Usefulness of Training
Towards this end however limited interviews of immediate supervisors of
returned trai nees wiere carried out in this evaluation to obtain some feel for
the usefulness o1 training to the sponsoring institutions
in general the assessment of training impact has been very positive with
significant improvements observed in the overall depth and breadth of
analytical outputs of returned trainees in one instance however even
before the outset of tne training program the participant was transferred to
another unit to which immediate applicabilit of the training eventua1y
received was minimal thoh nonethelss potentially useful
On the transfer of knowledgeskills acquired to other personnel of the
sponsoring Insitutions the general approach has been through informal
discussions on the j o

V PRQ ECT SGJ I IT AND OUTLOOK
Implementation problems notwithstanding current evidence supports the
continued usefulness off the project towards the objective of building up
institutional capacities for policy analysis and decision-making in the
PhiliPPine bureaucracy The Tax Administration and Compliance Study for
instance thouqh still in the process of finalization has already contributed
siqnificant inputs to the recent formulation of a new Tax Reform Package
Outputs of the on-going research on Sectoral Classification of Trade and
Inve ment Data are already being programmed for use in the current drafting
of the Philippine Development Plan for 1987-1992 Limited interviews have
also established the positive contributions of training supported under the
project in terms of improved overall quality of analytical work of returned
trainees
The potential impact of the project is further considerably enhanced by
the fact of a new government which is seriously engaged in a broad-ranging
effort to review and as needed recast the whole gamut of policies
structures and procedures that intimately affect both the current and the
future life of the nation
In terms of project operations recent developments augur well for
improvements not only in the pace of project implementation but also in terms
of broadening the projects overall impact In the case of the Development
Issues Component mention has already been made of positive expectations
resultina from the workshop on the Research Agenda conducted in late 1935
Significantly because of the materially improved response that resulted from
thc workshop the TDI-PMO has decided to convene similar workshops on a
regular basis possibly twice a year

unlikely the full ip1ementation of The project within the current PACD
Furthermore the Pr o- ed mod ficiDns in the operating scheme of the
training component ioulc also take some time to work out Accordingly the
7oTDI-P1O is exoected put forard to USAID a request for a two-year extension
of the current PASD f the project is extended then there will be need for
another evaiua-ion in two years
VI RECOMME IDATI OS
in light of all of the foregoing the following recommendations are herein
made with respect to the TDI project
1 The project should continue and the PACD extended by two years to
December 1990
2 Should the Precedinig reccmmendation be approved another evaluation of
the project should be schedule- in thc first half of 1988
3 To contribute to the easing of the countrys debt servicing
difficulties and in consideration of the diffused social benefits of the
project the entire unearmarked loan allocation to the project should be
converted to outright grant
4 To enhance smooth and timely implementation of the project as a whole
and in particular of the non-training elements of the Development issues
Component a clear resolution of the issues that have herein been identified
as having largely held back proect progress should be made and agreements
reached should be clearly set out in project implementation letters
Critical items in this regard are the whole apProach to project
implementation and the related question of compensation for government
personnel and the issue of USAID membership in the Project Steering

7 For reasons that have already been indicated elsewhere in this
report at of part ofleast the management the procedures of the Development
Issues component (which now excludes training) should be transferred or
subcontracted to the Philippine Institute for Development Studies (PIDS) which
has consideraile experience with managing research and working with USAID
8 To improve the implementation of the development issues component
(a) The Steering Committee especially in light of the priorities of
the new GOP administration should focus and prioritize the Agenda of Areas of
Research This should be done with the intent of selecting only a limited
number of development issues in order to concentrate efforts involve more
institutions in the same topic and culminate through a series of activities
in concrete policy recommendations
(b) TDI-PI0 should implement present plans for more frequent workshops
and advertisements to solicit research proposals and to broaden participation
(c) In addition high level NEDA officials should continue to endeavor
to involve directly other ministers and deputy ministers in the selection of
development issue topics research assignments and discussions of results
NEDA should continue to make readily available TDI resources to other
ministries
(d) The regular selection process should be made simpler and quicker
through such steps as greater discretionary power to the NEDA-TDI Project
Manager to approve proposals on already cleared topics without further
approval of the Steering Committee or USAIO up to a limit of say $15000
per proposal
(e) An alternative formechanism selecting consultants should be
designed to meet immediate short-term needs The NEDA-TDI project manager
should have greater authority to initiate on his own within topic guidelines
approved by the Steering Committee and USAID consultancy contracts This
authority snould be limited both as to amount of any individual contract say
$15000 and to the total amount of all such contracts for the year say
$100000
9 The Evaluation Team endorses the TDI-PMO proposals for improving the
overall effectiveness and impact of training activities Specifically
(a)A more detailed training plan for the balance of the project
duration should be prepared based on an updated assessment of institutional
training needs The team feels that in this assessment special attention
should be given to the needs of regional offices Further while maximum
adherence to the formulated plan is desirable provision for some degree of
flexibility should also be allowed to enable the project to respond to
unforeseen but urgent training requirements that may arise in the course of
implemfentation For this purpose ten (10) per cent of the uncommitted
balance of the training allocation could remain unprogrammed and availed of
largely on a need basis
(b) Institutional participation in the training component should be
broadened not so much however by increasing the number of participating
institutions (although possibly that too) but more through the provision of
proportionately more slots to institutions that have been determined to rank
high in the institutional prioritization scheme
(c) Participation from the regional levels should be increased and
perhaps even given priority
(d) Extension of funding support to training in suitable fields in
selected regional training institutions in the country should be undertaken
n this reard full consi deration should be given toi nci uding training
ororms 7 rv ate -c--nal insi tutions The proposal to explore the
devloomnt of a aster s roram in DcveloDment Economics at the UP in

th t the latter type of neecs is indeed being adequately addressed through
thi-s rojett in comb na tion i - othr d or-assi sted training programs If
not tIen soe shi ftng in proportions should be effected
11 Finally to enable continuini assessment of the extent to which project ojectives for the training component are being achieved the
otng system envisaged nder the project should immediately be
establisned and activated

I THE PROJECT
Title Training and Development Issues Project (492-0340) Project Start July 29 1983 PACD December 31 1983 Funding $6000000 (TOTAL)
$4500000 (AID-funded) $1200000 (Grant) $3300000 (Loan) $1500000 (GOP)
Purpose The purpose of the project is to improve the capability of Philippine Government and other institutions to analyze development issues and to make sound and timely development-related decisions
Current Status The above-mentioned purpose is pursued through the implementation of two project components namely (1)Participant Training Component and (2) Development Issues Comoonent As of 31 December 1985 a total of 29 overseas and 15 local training participants nave been supported by the Participant Training Component Meanwhile the Development Issues Component has directed efforts toward the development of the technical base for effective policy analysis Through the conduct of three researches under the broad develoPment issues identified for project attention preparation of concept papers on development planningand policy issues and provision of support for 4 overseas the same
and 34 local training participants As of date the Participant Training Component has
obligated 609 p-r cent of the total loan appropriation it has received so far and 967 per cent of its total grant budget The Developmeit Issues Component on the other hand has obligated 437 per cent of the total loan appropriations and 164 per cent of its total grant budget
I PURPOSE AND TIING OF THE EVALUATION
This evaluation will assess the progress of the implementation of the TDI Project and make reccmmendations for maximizing the projects impact on the development efforts of the Aquino Government It will identify the successful project activities and attempt to explain the advantages these have over ess successful activities It plans to investigate the problems and issues which appear to have hampered or delayedimplementation of the less successful and to determine mechanisms to avoid or resolve them The evaluation also will identiFy and assess new approaches for using project resources to achieve project objectives
More soecifically it will focus on five general areas
a the current status of project implementationb exIec7ations and Perceptions of TDI project by NEDA and USAID and c factors affecting project implementation d selection of DI componenT issues and Training component participants
and e opportunities and mechanisms for improving the project
As scheduled in the project paper the first evaluation will be conducted in FY 86
Based on tne findings the evaluation should recommend whether basicchannes in theproject design and implementation Procedures are necessary The recommendatiors should indicate the advantages and disadvantages of the design and procedural changes advocated

IV TEAM COMIPOSITION
The evaluation team must exhibit a thorough understanding of the following subject areas
1 Operations of the GOP specifically of NEDA and OEM2 Philippine develoDment issues and how these relate to policies3 IMechanics of Ai0 and USAIDPhilippines and4 The nature of the relationshio between USAID and N-DA5 The develooment priorities and opportunities of the Aquino government
The teams comPosition should represent expertise in the fields of organizational planning and management policy-making evaluation and management of research and training activities Given the sensitivities surrounding this project and the importance of this evaluation the teamshould not only be experts in the subject areas above they should also bewell known and respected by both INEDA and AID A team is expected to becomposed of a mix of Philippine and US consulrants or MissionAIDWashington personnel
The team will not have to collect and analyze a great deal of information because there have been very few implementation actions to date Thus asmall team of perhaps three or maybe four highly qualified persons should be sufficient

type of general zraining wou d seem to unduly undervalue tiie ieed for
more specza~ized types of poli cy anal vsis called for in many areas of
Phiippine development T is of course Dossble that these needs are
already being addressed tirou-gh projects other than the underone
consideration if so then - e present ellocation under the TDI
Project may well be jusified Unfortunately time constraints have
7 no- enabled -i-oser nvesiation of this mattershy
c) Funding of pr-grans in Law and Justice which though related to
socio economic development policy formulation is at best only
distantly so ParLicipation for instance in programs on American amp
internat-ional a as well as -n the US Legal System by members of
the Regional Trial Courts is to say the least difficult to justify
under tiis project However support towards laster s degrees in
Engineering of which rhere are two probably is justifiable as these
may be classified among the manpower skills critical to national and
regional development
d) Relative imbalance in the distribution of training slots between
participants from central offices and those from the regions Of the
fifty-nine (59) slots made available less than ten have gone to participants from the reg-onai offices Considering the thrust of the
present government towards genuine regionalzation including NEDAs
own interests improvements in this regard are especially called for
For instance the nei government is strengthening the role of the
Regional Development Council- and therefore these may be additional
training needs
_ According to the Hanager of the Participant Training Component this was in fact the case
The seconc road a-ea for improvemert is in monit-ori ng The establ i shment
of a sstem for monitoring of zrain n oarticioants both during and more
importantly after traind1n Was envsioned in thne project design The first
batch or tra nees iho went through one year programs in SY 1934 have been back
on the job for a ear and tiose wiho underwenr shorter programs have been back
for a longe period To cate hovever no back to office monitoring has been
undertken rendr in- di-ficut the assssent of traininc imDact relative to
obj ectives
E Usefulness of Training
Towards this end however limited interviews of immediate supervisors of
returned trai nees wiere carried out in this evaluation to obtain some feel for
the usefulness o1 training to the sponsoring institutions
in general the assessment of training impact has been very positive with
significant improvements observed in the overall depth and breadth of
analytical outputs of returned trainees in one instance however even
before the outset of tne training program the participant was transferred to
another unit to which immediate applicabilit of the training eventua1y
received was minimal thoh nonethelss potentially useful
On the transfer of knowledgeskills acquired to other personnel of the
sponsoring Insitutions the general approach has been through informal
discussions on the j o

V PRQ ECT SGJ I IT AND OUTLOOK
Implementation problems notwithstanding current evidence supports the
continued usefulness off the project towards the objective of building up
institutional capacities for policy analysis and decision-making in the
PhiliPPine bureaucracy The Tax Administration and Compliance Study for
instance thouqh still in the process of finalization has already contributed
siqnificant inputs to the recent formulation of a new Tax Reform Package
Outputs of the on-going research on Sectoral Classification of Trade and
Inve ment Data are already being programmed for use in the current drafting
of the Philippine Development Plan for 1987-1992 Limited interviews have
also established the positive contributions of training supported under the
project in terms of improved overall quality of analytical work of returned
trainees
The potential impact of the project is further considerably enhanced by
the fact of a new government which is seriously engaged in a broad-ranging
effort to review and as needed recast the whole gamut of policies
structures and procedures that intimately affect both the current and the
future life of the nation
In terms of project operations recent developments augur well for
improvements not only in the pace of project implementation but also in terms
of broadening the projects overall impact In the case of the Development
Issues Component mention has already been made of positive expectations
resultina from the workshop on the Research Agenda conducted in late 1935
Significantly because of the materially improved response that resulted from
thc workshop the TDI-PMO has decided to convene similar workshops on a
regular basis possibly twice a year

unlikely the full ip1ementation of The project within the current PACD
Furthermore the Pr o- ed mod ficiDns in the operating scheme of the
training component ioulc also take some time to work out Accordingly the
7oTDI-P1O is exoected put forard to USAID a request for a two-year extension
of the current PASD f the project is extended then there will be need for
another evaiua-ion in two years
VI RECOMME IDATI OS
in light of all of the foregoing the following recommendations are herein
made with respect to the TDI project
1 The project should continue and the PACD extended by two years to
December 1990
2 Should the Precedinig reccmmendation be approved another evaluation of
the project should be schedule- in thc first half of 1988
3 To contribute to the easing of the countrys debt servicing
difficulties and in consideration of the diffused social benefits of the
project the entire unearmarked loan allocation to the project should be
converted to outright grant
4 To enhance smooth and timely implementation of the project as a whole
and in particular of the non-training elements of the Development issues
Component a clear resolution of the issues that have herein been identified
as having largely held back proect progress should be made and agreements
reached should be clearly set out in project implementation letters
Critical items in this regard are the whole apProach to project
implementation and the related question of compensation for government
personnel and the issue of USAID membership in the Project Steering

7 For reasons that have already been indicated elsewhere in this
report at of part ofleast the management the procedures of the Development
Issues component (which now excludes training) should be transferred or
subcontracted to the Philippine Institute for Development Studies (PIDS) which
has consideraile experience with managing research and working with USAID
8 To improve the implementation of the development issues component
(a) The Steering Committee especially in light of the priorities of
the new GOP administration should focus and prioritize the Agenda of Areas of
Research This should be done with the intent of selecting only a limited
number of development issues in order to concentrate efforts involve more
institutions in the same topic and culminate through a series of activities
in concrete policy recommendations
(b) TDI-PI0 should implement present plans for more frequent workshops
and advertisements to solicit research proposals and to broaden participation
(c) In addition high level NEDA officials should continue to endeavor
to involve directly other ministers and deputy ministers in the selection of
development issue topics research assignments and discussions of results
NEDA should continue to make readily available TDI resources to other
ministries
(d) The regular selection process should be made simpler and quicker
through such steps as greater discretionary power to the NEDA-TDI Project
Manager to approve proposals on already cleared topics without further
approval of the Steering Committee or USAIO up to a limit of say $15000
per proposal
(e) An alternative formechanism selecting consultants should be
designed to meet immediate short-term needs The NEDA-TDI project manager
should have greater authority to initiate on his own within topic guidelines
approved by the Steering Committee and USAID consultancy contracts This
authority snould be limited both as to amount of any individual contract say
$15000 and to the total amount of all such contracts for the year say
$100000
9 The Evaluation Team endorses the TDI-PMO proposals for improving the
overall effectiveness and impact of training activities Specifically
(a)A more detailed training plan for the balance of the project
duration should be prepared based on an updated assessment of institutional
training needs The team feels that in this assessment special attention
should be given to the needs of regional offices Further while maximum
adherence to the formulated plan is desirable provision for some degree of
flexibility should also be allowed to enable the project to respond to
unforeseen but urgent training requirements that may arise in the course of
implemfentation For this purpose ten (10) per cent of the uncommitted
balance of the training allocation could remain unprogrammed and availed of
largely on a need basis
(b) Institutional participation in the training component should be
broadened not so much however by increasing the number of participating
institutions (although possibly that too) but more through the provision of
proportionately more slots to institutions that have been determined to rank
high in the institutional prioritization scheme
(c) Participation from the regional levels should be increased and
perhaps even given priority
(d) Extension of funding support to training in suitable fields in
selected regional training institutions in the country should be undertaken
n this reard full consi deration should be given toi nci uding training
ororms 7 rv ate -c--nal insi tutions The proposal to explore the
devloomnt of a aster s roram in DcveloDment Economics at the UP in
Diliman is siMilarlI endorsed
10 7n add-isn to the forejoing a reassessment of the distribution of
ii-s is-ai r 1 ly t iclh general and te more

th t the latter type of neecs is indeed being adequately addressed through
thi-s rojett in comb na tion i - othr d or-assi sted training programs If
not tIen soe shi ftng in proportions should be effected
11 Finally to enable continuini assessment of the extent to which project ojectives for the training component are being achieved the
otng system envisaged nder the project should immediately be
establisned and activated

TRAINING AiND DEVELOPENT ISSUES PROJECT EVALUATION SCOPE OF CRK FOR EVAUTION
I THE PROJECT
Title Training and Development Issues Project (492-0340) Project Start July 29 1983 PACD December 31 1983 Funding $6000000 (TOTAL)
$4500000 (AID-funded) $1200000 (Grant) $3300000 (Loan) $1500000 (GOP)
Purpose The purpose of the project is to improve the capability of Philippine Government and other institutions to analyze development issues and to make sound and timely development-related decisions
Current Status The above-mentioned purpose is pursued through the implementation of two project components namely (1)Participant Training Component and (2) Development Issues Comoonent As of 31 December 1985 a total of 29 overseas and 15 local training participants nave been supported by the Participant Training Component Meanwhile the Development Issues Component has directed efforts toward the development of the technical base for effective policy analysis Through the conduct of three researches under the broad develoPment issues identified for project attention preparation of concept papers on development planningand policy issues and provision of support for 4 overseas the same
and 34 local training participants As of date the Participant Training Component has
obligated 609 p-r cent of the total loan appropriation it has received so far and 967 per cent of its total grant budget The Developmeit Issues Component on the other hand has obligated 437 per cent of the total loan appropriations and 164 per cent of its total grant budget
I PURPOSE AND TIING OF THE EVALUATION
This evaluation will assess the progress of the implementation of the TDI Project and make reccmmendations for maximizing the projects impact on the development efforts of the Aquino Government It will identify the successful project activities and attempt to explain the advantages these have over ess successful activities It plans to investigate the problems and issues which appear to have hampered or delayedimplementation of the less successful and to determine mechanisms to avoid or resolve them The evaluation also will identiFy and assess new approaches for using project resources to achieve project objectives
More soecifically it will focus on five general areas
a the current status of project implementationb exIec7ations and Perceptions of TDI project by NEDA and USAID and c factors affecting project implementation d selection of DI componenT issues and Training component participants
and e opportunities and mechanisms for improving the project
As scheduled in the project paper the first evaluation will be conducted in FY 86
Based on tne findings the evaluation should recommend whether basicchannes in theproject design and implementation Procedures are necessary The recommendatiors should indicate the advantages and disadvantages of the design and procedural changes advocated

IV TEAM COMIPOSITION
The evaluation team must exhibit a thorough understanding of the following subject areas
1 Operations of the GOP specifically of NEDA and OEM2 Philippine develoDment issues and how these relate to policies3 IMechanics of Ai0 and USAIDPhilippines and4 The nature of the relationshio between USAID and N-DA5 The develooment priorities and opportunities of the Aquino government
The teams comPosition should represent expertise in the fields of organizational planning and management policy-making evaluation and management of research and training activities Given the sensitivities surrounding this project and the importance of this evaluation the teamshould not only be experts in the subject areas above they should also bewell known and respected by both INEDA and AID A team is expected to becomposed of a mix of Philippine and US consulrants or MissionAIDWashington personnel
The team will not have to collect and analyze a great deal of information because there have been very few implementation actions to date Thus asmall team of perhaps three or maybe four highly qualified persons should be sufficient

E Usefulness of Training
Towards this end however limited interviews of immediate supervisors of
returned trai nees wiere carried out in this evaluation to obtain some feel for
the usefulness o1 training to the sponsoring institutions
in general the assessment of training impact has been very positive with
significant improvements observed in the overall depth and breadth of
analytical outputs of returned trainees in one instance however even
before the outset of tne training program the participant was transferred to
another unit to which immediate applicabilit of the training eventua1y
received was minimal thoh nonethelss potentially useful
On the transfer of knowledgeskills acquired to other personnel of the
sponsoring Insitutions the general approach has been through informal
discussions on the j o
- 21 -
V PRQ ECT SGJ I IT AND OUTLOOK
Implementation problems notwithstanding current evidence supports the
continued usefulness off the project towards the objective of building up
institutional capacities for policy analysis and decision-making in the
PhiliPPine bureaucracy The Tax Administration and Compliance Study for
instance thouqh still in the process of finalization has already contributed
siqnificant inputs to the recent formulation of a new Tax Reform Package
Outputs of the on-going research on Sectoral Classification of Trade and
Inve ment Data are already being programmed for use in the current drafting
of the Philippine Development Plan for 1987-1992 Limited interviews have
also established the positive contributions of training supported under the
project in terms of improved overall quality of analytical work of returned
trainees
The potential impact of the project is further considerably enhanced by
the fact of a new government which is seriously engaged in a broad-ranging
effort to review and as needed recast the whole gamut of policies
structures and procedures that intimately affect both the current and the
future life of the nation
In terms of project operations recent developments augur well for
improvements not only in the pace of project implementation but also in terms
of broadening the projects overall impact In the case of the Development
Issues Component mention has already been made of positive expectations
resultina from the workshop on the Research Agenda conducted in late 1935
Significantly because of the materially improved response that resulted from
thc workshop the TDI-PMO has decided to convene similar workshops on a
regular basis possibly twice a year

unlikely the full ip1ementation of The project within the current PACD
Furthermore the Pr o- ed mod ficiDns in the operating scheme of the
training component ioulc also take some time to work out Accordingly the
7oTDI-P1O is exoected put forard to USAID a request for a two-year extension
of the current PASD f the project is extended then there will be need for
another evaiua-ion in two years
VI RECOMME IDATI OS
in light of all of the foregoing the following recommendations are herein
made with respect to the TDI project
1 The project should continue and the PACD extended by two years to
December 1990
2 Should the Precedinig reccmmendation be approved another evaluation of
the project should be schedule- in thc first half of 1988
3 To contribute to the easing of the countrys debt servicing
difficulties and in consideration of the diffused social benefits of the
project the entire unearmarked loan allocation to the project should be
converted to outright grant
4 To enhance smooth and timely implementation of the project as a whole
and in particular of the non-training elements of the Development issues
Component a clear resolution of the issues that have herein been identified
as having largely held back proect progress should be made and agreements
reached should be clearly set out in project implementation letters
Critical items in this regard are the whole apProach to project
implementation and the related question of compensation for government
personnel and the issue of USAID membership in the Project Steering

7 For reasons that have already been indicated elsewhere in this
report at of part ofleast the management the procedures of the Development
Issues component (which now excludes training) should be transferred or
subcontracted to the Philippine Institute for Development Studies (PIDS) which
has consideraile experience with managing research and working with USAID
8 To improve the implementation of the development issues component
(a) The Steering Committee especially in light of the priorities of
the new GOP administration should focus and prioritize the Agenda of Areas of
Research This should be done with the intent of selecting only a limited
number of development issues in order to concentrate efforts involve more
institutions in the same topic and culminate through a series of activities
in concrete policy recommendations
(b) TDI-PI0 should implement present plans for more frequent workshops
and advertisements to solicit research proposals and to broaden participation
(c) In addition high level NEDA officials should continue to endeavor
to involve directly other ministers and deputy ministers in the selection of
development issue topics research assignments and discussions of results
NEDA should continue to make readily available TDI resources to other
ministries
(d) The regular selection process should be made simpler and quicker
through such steps as greater discretionary power to the NEDA-TDI Project
Manager to approve proposals on already cleared topics without further
approval of the Steering Committee or USAIO up to a limit of say $15000
per proposal
(e) An alternative formechanism selecting consultants should be
designed to meet immediate short-term needs The NEDA-TDI project manager
should have greater authority to initiate on his own within topic guidelines
approved by the Steering Committee and USAID consultancy contracts This
authority snould be limited both as to amount of any individual contract say
$15000 and to the total amount of all such contracts for the year say
$100000
9 The Evaluation Team endorses the TDI-PMO proposals for improving the
overall effectiveness and impact of training activities Specifically
(a)A more detailed training plan for the balance of the project
duration should be prepared based on an updated assessment of institutional
training needs The team feels that in this assessment special attention
should be given to the needs of regional offices Further while maximum
adherence to the formulated plan is desirable provision for some degree of
flexibility should also be allowed to enable the project to respond to
unforeseen but urgent training requirements that may arise in the course of
implemfentation For this purpose ten (10) per cent of the uncommitted
balance of the training allocation could remain unprogrammed and availed of
largely on a need basis
(b) Institutional participation in the training component should be
broadened not so much however by increasing the number of participating
institutions (although possibly that too) but more through the provision of
proportionately more slots to institutions that have been determined to rank
high in the institutional prioritization scheme
(c) Participation from the regional levels should be increased and
perhaps even given priority
(d) Extension of funding support to training in suitable fields in
selected regional training institutions in the country should be undertaken
n this reard full consi deration should be given toi nci uding training
ororms 7 rv ate -c--nal insi tutions The proposal to explore the
devloomnt of a aster s roram in DcveloDment Economics at the UP in
Diliman is siMilarlI endorsed
10 7n add-isn to the forejoing a reassessment of the distribution of

th t the latter type of neecs is indeed being adequately addressed through
thi-s rojett in comb na tion i - othr d or-assi sted training programs If
not tIen soe shi ftng in proportions should be effected
11 Finally to enable continuini assessment of the extent to which project ojectives for the training component are being achieved the
otng system envisaged nder the project should immediately be
establisned and activated

Title Training and Development Issues Project (492-0340) Project Start July 29 1983 PACD December 31 1983 Funding $6000000 (TOTAL)
$4500000 (AID-funded) $1200000 (Grant) $3300000 (Loan) $1500000 (GOP)
Purpose The purpose of the project is to improve the capability of Philippine Government and other institutions to analyze development issues and to make sound and timely development-related decisions
Current Status The above-mentioned purpose is pursued through the implementation of two project components namely (1)Participant Training Component and (2) Development Issues Comoonent As of 31 December 1985 a total of 29 overseas and 15 local training participants nave been supported by the Participant Training Component Meanwhile the Development Issues Component has directed efforts toward the development of the technical base for effective policy analysis Through the conduct of three researches under the broad develoPment issues identified for project attention preparation of concept papers on development planningand policy issues and provision of support for 4 overseas the same
and 34 local training participants As of date the Participant Training Component has
obligated 609 p-r cent of the total loan appropriation it has received so far and 967 per cent of its total grant budget The Developmeit Issues Component on the other hand has obligated 437 per cent of the total loan appropriations and 164 per cent of its total grant budget
I PURPOSE AND TIING OF THE EVALUATION
This evaluation will assess the progress of the implementation of the TDI Project and make reccmmendations for maximizing the projects impact on the development efforts of the Aquino Government It will identify the successful project activities and attempt to explain the advantages these have over ess successful activities It plans to investigate the problems and issues which appear to have hampered or delayedimplementation of the less successful and to determine mechanisms to avoid or resolve them The evaluation also will identiFy and assess new approaches for using project resources to achieve project objectives
More soecifically it will focus on five general areas
a the current status of project implementationb exIec7ations and Perceptions of TDI project by NEDA and USAID and c factors affecting project implementation d selection of DI componenT issues and Training component participants
and e opportunities and mechanisms for improving the project
As scheduled in the project paper the first evaluation will be conducted in FY 86
Based on tne findings the evaluation should recommend whether basicchannes in theproject design and implementation Procedures are necessary The recommendatiors should indicate the advantages and disadvantages of the design and procedural changes advocated

IV TEAM COMIPOSITION
The evaluation team must exhibit a thorough understanding of the following subject areas
1 Operations of the GOP specifically of NEDA and OEM2 Philippine develoDment issues and how these relate to policies3 IMechanics of Ai0 and USAIDPhilippines and4 The nature of the relationshio between USAID and N-DA5 The develooment priorities and opportunities of the Aquino government
The teams comPosition should represent expertise in the fields of organizational planning and management policy-making evaluation and management of research and training activities Given the sensitivities surrounding this project and the importance of this evaluation the teamshould not only be experts in the subject areas above they should also bewell known and respected by both INEDA and AID A team is expected to becomposed of a mix of Philippine and US consulrants or MissionAIDWashington personnel
The team will not have to collect and analyze a great deal of information because there have been very few implementation actions to date Thus asmall team of perhaps three or maybe four highly qualified persons should be sufficient

V PRQ ECT SGJ I IT AND OUTLOOK
Implementation problems notwithstanding current evidence supports the
continued usefulness off the project towards the objective of building up
institutional capacities for policy analysis and decision-making in the
PhiliPPine bureaucracy The Tax Administration and Compliance Study for
instance thouqh still in the process of finalization has already contributed
siqnificant inputs to the recent formulation of a new Tax Reform Package
Outputs of the on-going research on Sectoral Classification of Trade and
Inve ment Data are already being programmed for use in the current drafting
of the Philippine Development Plan for 1987-1992 Limited interviews have
also established the positive contributions of training supported under the
project in terms of improved overall quality of analytical work of returned
trainees
The potential impact of the project is further considerably enhanced by
the fact of a new government which is seriously engaged in a broad-ranging
effort to review and as needed recast the whole gamut of policies
structures and procedures that intimately affect both the current and the
future life of the nation
In terms of project operations recent developments augur well for
improvements not only in the pace of project implementation but also in terms
of broadening the projects overall impact In the case of the Development
Issues Component mention has already been made of positive expectations
resultina from the workshop on the Research Agenda conducted in late 1935
Significantly because of the materially improved response that resulted from
thc workshop the TDI-PMO has decided to convene similar workshops on a
regular basis possibly twice a year

unlikely the full ip1ementation of The project within the current PACD
Furthermore the Pr o- ed mod ficiDns in the operating scheme of the
training component ioulc also take some time to work out Accordingly the
7oTDI-P1O is exoected put forard to USAID a request for a two-year extension
of the current PASD f the project is extended then there will be need for
another evaiua-ion in two years
VI RECOMME IDATI OS
in light of all of the foregoing the following recommendations are herein
made with respect to the TDI project
1 The project should continue and the PACD extended by two years to
December 1990
2 Should the Precedinig reccmmendation be approved another evaluation of
the project should be schedule- in thc first half of 1988
3 To contribute to the easing of the countrys debt servicing
difficulties and in consideration of the diffused social benefits of the
project the entire unearmarked loan allocation to the project should be
converted to outright grant
4 To enhance smooth and timely implementation of the project as a whole
and in particular of the non-training elements of the Development issues
Component a clear resolution of the issues that have herein been identified
as having largely held back proect progress should be made and agreements
reached should be clearly set out in project implementation letters
Critical items in this regard are the whole apProach to project
implementation and the related question of compensation for government
personnel and the issue of USAID membership in the Project Steering

7 For reasons that have already been indicated elsewhere in this
report at of part ofleast the management the procedures of the Development
Issues component (which now excludes training) should be transferred or
subcontracted to the Philippine Institute for Development Studies (PIDS) which
has consideraile experience with managing research and working with USAID
8 To improve the implementation of the development issues component
(a) The Steering Committee especially in light of the priorities of
the new GOP administration should focus and prioritize the Agenda of Areas of
Research This should be done with the intent of selecting only a limited
number of development issues in order to concentrate efforts involve more
institutions in the same topic and culminate through a series of activities
in concrete policy recommendations
(b) TDI-PI0 should implement present plans for more frequent workshops
and advertisements to solicit research proposals and to broaden participation
(c) In addition high level NEDA officials should continue to endeavor
to involve directly other ministers and deputy ministers in the selection of
development issue topics research assignments and discussions of results
NEDA should continue to make readily available TDI resources to other
ministries
(d) The regular selection process should be made simpler and quicker
through such steps as greater discretionary power to the NEDA-TDI Project
Manager to approve proposals on already cleared topics without further
approval of the Steering Committee or USAIO up to a limit of say $15000
per proposal
(e) An alternative formechanism selecting consultants should be
designed to meet immediate short-term needs The NEDA-TDI project manager
should have greater authority to initiate on his own within topic guidelines
approved by the Steering Committee and USAID consultancy contracts This
authority snould be limited both as to amount of any individual contract say
$15000 and to the total amount of all such contracts for the year say
$100000
9 The Evaluation Team endorses the TDI-PMO proposals for improving the
overall effectiveness and impact of training activities Specifically
(a)A more detailed training plan for the balance of the project
duration should be prepared based on an updated assessment of institutional
training needs The team feels that in this assessment special attention
should be given to the needs of regional offices Further while maximum
adherence to the formulated plan is desirable provision for some degree of
flexibility should also be allowed to enable the project to respond to
unforeseen but urgent training requirements that may arise in the course of
implemfentation For this purpose ten (10) per cent of the uncommitted
balance of the training allocation could remain unprogrammed and availed of
largely on a need basis
(b) Institutional participation in the training component should be
broadened not so much however by increasing the number of participating
institutions (although possibly that too) but more through the provision of
proportionately more slots to institutions that have been determined to rank
high in the institutional prioritization scheme
(c) Participation from the regional levels should be increased and
perhaps even given priority
(d) Extension of funding support to training in suitable fields in
selected regional training institutions in the country should be undertaken
n this reard full consi deration should be given toi nci uding training
ororms 7 rv ate -c--nal insi tutions The proposal to explore the
devloomnt of a aster s roram in DcveloDment Economics at the UP in
Diliman is siMilarlI endorsed
10 7n add-isn to the forejoing a reassessment of the distribution of
ii-s is-ai r 1 ly t iclh general and te more
setor-soecifiPopo1 cy analysi s stud prcgrams should be unde rtaken to ensure
th t the latter type of neecs is indeed being adequately addressed through
thi-s rojett in comb na tion i - othr d or-assi sted training programs If
not tIen soe shi ftng in proportions should be effected
11 Finally to enable continuini assessment of the extent to which project ojectives for the training component are being achieved the
otng system envisaged nder the project should immediately be
establisned and activated

Title Training and Development Issues Project (492-0340) Project Start July 29 1983 PACD December 31 1983 Funding $6000000 (TOTAL)
$4500000 (AID-funded) $1200000 (Grant) $3300000 (Loan) $1500000 (GOP)
Purpose The purpose of the project is to improve the capability of Philippine Government and other institutions to analyze development issues and to make sound and timely development-related decisions
Current Status The above-mentioned purpose is pursued through the implementation of two project components namely (1)Participant Training Component and (2) Development Issues Comoonent As of 31 December 1985 a total of 29 overseas and 15 local training participants nave been supported by the Participant Training Component Meanwhile the Development Issues Component has directed efforts toward the development of the technical base for effective policy analysis Through the conduct of three researches under the broad develoPment issues identified for project attention preparation of concept papers on development planningand policy issues and provision of support for 4 overseas the same
and 34 local training participants As of date the Participant Training Component has
obligated 609 p-r cent of the total loan appropriation it has received so far and 967 per cent of its total grant budget The Developmeit Issues Component on the other hand has obligated 437 per cent of the total loan appropriations and 164 per cent of its total grant budget
I PURPOSE AND TIING OF THE EVALUATION
This evaluation will assess the progress of the implementation of the TDI Project and make reccmmendations for maximizing the projects impact on the development efforts of the Aquino Government It will identify the successful project activities and attempt to explain the advantages these have over ess successful activities It plans to investigate the problems and issues which appear to have hampered or delayedimplementation of the less successful and to determine mechanisms to avoid or resolve them The evaluation also will identiFy and assess new approaches for using project resources to achieve project objectives
More soecifically it will focus on five general areas
a the current status of project implementationb exIec7ations and Perceptions of TDI project by NEDA and USAID and c factors affecting project implementation d selection of DI componenT issues and Training component participants
and e opportunities and mechanisms for improving the project
As scheduled in the project paper the first evaluation will be conducted in FY 86
Based on tne findings the evaluation should recommend whether basicchannes in theproject design and implementation Procedures are necessary The recommendatiors should indicate the advantages and disadvantages of the design and procedural changes advocated
III QUESTIONS FOR THE EVALUATION TEAM

IV TEAM COMIPOSITION
The evaluation team must exhibit a thorough understanding of the following subject areas
1 Operations of the GOP specifically of NEDA and OEM2 Philippine develoDment issues and how these relate to policies3 IMechanics of Ai0 and USAIDPhilippines and4 The nature of the relationshio between USAID and N-DA5 The develooment priorities and opportunities of the Aquino government
The teams comPosition should represent expertise in the fields of organizational planning and management policy-making evaluation and management of research and training activities Given the sensitivities surrounding this project and the importance of this evaluation the teamshould not only be experts in the subject areas above they should also bewell known and respected by both INEDA and AID A team is expected to becomposed of a mix of Philippine and US consulrants or MissionAIDWashington personnel
The team will not have to collect and analyze a great deal of information because there have been very few implementation actions to date Thus asmall team of perhaps three or maybe four highly qualified persons should be sufficient

unlikely the full ip1ementation of The project within the current PACD
Furthermore the Pr o- ed mod ficiDns in the operating scheme of the
training component ioulc also take some time to work out Accordingly the
7oTDI-P1O is exoected put forard to USAID a request for a two-year extension
of the current PASD f the project is extended then there will be need for
another evaiua-ion in two years
VI RECOMME IDATI OS
in light of all of the foregoing the following recommendations are herein
made with respect to the TDI project
1 The project should continue and the PACD extended by two years to
December 1990
2 Should the Precedinig reccmmendation be approved another evaluation of
the project should be schedule- in thc first half of 1988
3 To contribute to the easing of the countrys debt servicing
difficulties and in consideration of the diffused social benefits of the
project the entire unearmarked loan allocation to the project should be
converted to outright grant
4 To enhance smooth and timely implementation of the project as a whole
and in particular of the non-training elements of the Development issues
Component a clear resolution of the issues that have herein been identified
as having largely held back proect progress should be made and agreements
reached should be clearly set out in project implementation letters
Critical items in this regard are the whole apProach to project
implementation and the related question of compensation for government
personnel and the issue of USAID membership in the Project Steering

7 For reasons that have already been indicated elsewhere in this
report at of part ofleast the management the procedures of the Development
Issues component (which now excludes training) should be transferred or
subcontracted to the Philippine Institute for Development Studies (PIDS) which
has consideraile experience with managing research and working with USAID
8 To improve the implementation of the development issues component
(a) The Steering Committee especially in light of the priorities of
the new GOP administration should focus and prioritize the Agenda of Areas of
Research This should be done with the intent of selecting only a limited
number of development issues in order to concentrate efforts involve more
institutions in the same topic and culminate through a series of activities
in concrete policy recommendations
(b) TDI-PI0 should implement present plans for more frequent workshops
and advertisements to solicit research proposals and to broaden participation
(c) In addition high level NEDA officials should continue to endeavor
to involve directly other ministers and deputy ministers in the selection of
development issue topics research assignments and discussions of results
NEDA should continue to make readily available TDI resources to other
ministries
(d) The regular selection process should be made simpler and quicker
through such steps as greater discretionary power to the NEDA-TDI Project
Manager to approve proposals on already cleared topics without further
approval of the Steering Committee or USAIO up to a limit of say $15000
per proposal
(e) An alternative formechanism selecting consultants should be
designed to meet immediate short-term needs The NEDA-TDI project manager
should have greater authority to initiate on his own within topic guidelines
approved by the Steering Committee and USAID consultancy contracts This
authority snould be limited both as to amount of any individual contract say
$15000 and to the total amount of all such contracts for the year say
$100000
9 The Evaluation Team endorses the TDI-PMO proposals for improving the
overall effectiveness and impact of training activities Specifically
(a)A more detailed training plan for the balance of the project
duration should be prepared based on an updated assessment of institutional
training needs The team feels that in this assessment special attention
should be given to the needs of regional offices Further while maximum
adherence to the formulated plan is desirable provision for some degree of
flexibility should also be allowed to enable the project to respond to
unforeseen but urgent training requirements that may arise in the course of
implemfentation For this purpose ten (10) per cent of the uncommitted
balance of the training allocation could remain unprogrammed and availed of
largely on a need basis
(b) Institutional participation in the training component should be
broadened not so much however by increasing the number of participating
institutions (although possibly that too) but more through the provision of
proportionately more slots to institutions that have been determined to rank
high in the institutional prioritization scheme
(c) Participation from the regional levels should be increased and
perhaps even given priority
(d) Extension of funding support to training in suitable fields in
selected regional training institutions in the country should be undertaken
n this reard full consi deration should be given toi nci uding training

$4500000 (AID-funded) $1200000 (Grant) $3300000 (Loan) $1500000 (GOP)
Purpose The purpose of the project is to improve the capability of Philippine Government and other institutions to analyze development issues and to make sound and timely development-related decisions
Current Status The above-mentioned purpose is pursued through the implementation of two project components namely (1)Participant Training Component and (2) Development Issues Comoonent As of 31 December 1985 a total of 29 overseas and 15 local training participants nave been supported by the Participant Training Component Meanwhile the Development Issues Component has directed efforts toward the development of the technical base for effective policy analysis Through the conduct of three researches under the broad develoPment issues identified for project attention preparation of concept papers on development planningand policy issues and provision of support for 4 overseas the same
and 34 local training participants As of date the Participant Training Component has
obligated 609 p-r cent of the total loan appropriation it has received so far and 967 per cent of its total grant budget The Developmeit Issues Component on the other hand has obligated 437 per cent of the total loan appropriations and 164 per cent of its total grant budget
I PURPOSE AND TIING OF THE EVALUATION
This evaluation will assess the progress of the implementation of the TDI Project and make reccmmendations for maximizing the projects impact on the development efforts of the Aquino Government It will identify the successful project activities and attempt to explain the advantages these have over ess successful activities It plans to investigate the problems and issues which appear to have hampered or delayedimplementation of the less successful and to determine mechanisms to avoid or resolve them The evaluation also will identiFy and assess new approaches for using project resources to achieve project objectives
More soecifically it will focus on five general areas
a the current status of project implementationb exIec7ations and Perceptions of TDI project by NEDA and USAID and c factors affecting project implementation d selection of DI componenT issues and Training component participants
and e opportunities and mechanisms for improving the project
As scheduled in the project paper the first evaluation will be conducted in FY 86
Based on tne findings the evaluation should recommend whether basicchannes in theproject design and implementation Procedures are necessary The recommendatiors should indicate the advantages and disadvantages of the design and procedural changes advocated

IV TEAM COMIPOSITION
The evaluation team must exhibit a thorough understanding of the following subject areas
1 Operations of the GOP specifically of NEDA and OEM2 Philippine develoDment issues and how these relate to policies3 IMechanics of Ai0 and USAIDPhilippines and4 The nature of the relationshio between USAID and N-DA5 The develooment priorities and opportunities of the Aquino government
The teams comPosition should represent expertise in the fields of organizational planning and management policy-making evaluation and management of research and training activities Given the sensitivities surrounding this project and the importance of this evaluation the teamshould not only be experts in the subject areas above they should also bewell known and respected by both INEDA and AID A team is expected to becomposed of a mix of Philippine and US consulrants or MissionAIDWashington personnel
The team will not have to collect and analyze a great deal of information because there have been very few implementation actions to date Thus asmall team of perhaps three or maybe four highly qualified persons should be sufficient

unlikely the full ip1ementation of The project within the current PACD
Furthermore the Pr o- ed mod ficiDns in the operating scheme of the
training component ioulc also take some time to work out Accordingly the
7oTDI-P1O is exoected put forard to USAID a request for a two-year extension
of the current PASD f the project is extended then there will be need for
another evaiua-ion in two years
VI RECOMME IDATI OS
in light of all of the foregoing the following recommendations are herein
made with respect to the TDI project
1 The project should continue and the PACD extended by two years to
December 1990
2 Should the Precedinig reccmmendation be approved another evaluation of
the project should be schedule- in thc first half of 1988
3 To contribute to the easing of the countrys debt servicing
difficulties and in consideration of the diffused social benefits of the
project the entire unearmarked loan allocation to the project should be
converted to outright grant
4 To enhance smooth and timely implementation of the project as a whole
and in particular of the non-training elements of the Development issues
Component a clear resolution of the issues that have herein been identified
as having largely held back proect progress should be made and agreements
reached should be clearly set out in project implementation letters
Critical items in this regard are the whole apProach to project
implementation and the related question of compensation for government
personnel and the issue of USAID membership in the Project Steering

7 For reasons that have already been indicated elsewhere in this
report at of part ofleast the management the procedures of the Development
Issues component (which now excludes training) should be transferred or
subcontracted to the Philippine Institute for Development Studies (PIDS) which
has consideraile experience with managing research and working with USAID
8 To improve the implementation of the development issues component
(a) The Steering Committee especially in light of the priorities of
the new GOP administration should focus and prioritize the Agenda of Areas of
Research This should be done with the intent of selecting only a limited
number of development issues in order to concentrate efforts involve more
institutions in the same topic and culminate through a series of activities
in concrete policy recommendations
(b) TDI-PI0 should implement present plans for more frequent workshops
and advertisements to solicit research proposals and to broaden participation
(c) In addition high level NEDA officials should continue to endeavor
to involve directly other ministers and deputy ministers in the selection of
development issue topics research assignments and discussions of results
NEDA should continue to make readily available TDI resources to other
ministries
(d) The regular selection process should be made simpler and quicker
through such steps as greater discretionary power to the NEDA-TDI Project
Manager to approve proposals on already cleared topics without further
approval of the Steering Committee or USAIO up to a limit of say $15000
per proposal
(e) An alternative formechanism selecting consultants should be
designed to meet immediate short-term needs The NEDA-TDI project manager
should have greater authority to initiate on his own within topic guidelines
approved by the Steering Committee and USAID consultancy contracts This
authority snould be limited both as to amount of any individual contract say
$15000 and to the total amount of all such contracts for the year say
$100000
9 The Evaluation Team endorses the TDI-PMO proposals for improving the
overall effectiveness and impact of training activities Specifically
(a)A more detailed training plan for the balance of the project
duration should be prepared based on an updated assessment of institutional
training needs The team feels that in this assessment special attention
should be given to the needs of regional offices Further while maximum
adherence to the formulated plan is desirable provision for some degree of
flexibility should also be allowed to enable the project to respond to
unforeseen but urgent training requirements that may arise in the course of
implemfentation For this purpose ten (10) per cent of the uncommitted
balance of the training allocation could remain unprogrammed and availed of
largely on a need basis
(b) Institutional participation in the training component should be
broadened not so much however by increasing the number of participating
institutions (although possibly that too) but more through the provision of
proportionately more slots to institutions that have been determined to rank
high in the institutional prioritization scheme

Title Training and Development Issues Project (492-0340) Project Start July 29 1983 PACD December 31 1983 Funding $6000000 (TOTAL)
$4500000 (AID-funded) $1200000 (Grant) $3300000 (Loan) $1500000 (GOP)
Purpose The purpose of the project is to improve the capability of Philippine Government and other institutions to analyze development issues and to make sound and timely development-related decisions
Current Status The above-mentioned purpose is pursued through the implementation of two project components namely (1)Participant Training Component and (2) Development Issues Comoonent As of 31 December 1985 a total of 29 overseas and 15 local training participants nave been supported by the Participant Training Component Meanwhile the Development Issues Component has directed efforts toward the development of the technical base for effective policy analysis Through the conduct of three researches under the broad develoPment issues identified for project attention preparation of concept papers on development planningand policy issues and provision of support for 4 overseas the same
and 34 local training participants As of date the Participant Training Component has
obligated 609 p-r cent of the total loan appropriation it has received so far and 967 per cent of its total grant budget The Developmeit Issues Component on the other hand has obligated 437 per cent of the total loan appropriations and 164 per cent of its total grant budget
I PURPOSE AND TIING OF THE EVALUATION
This evaluation will assess the progress of the implementation of the TDI Project and make reccmmendations for maximizing the projects impact on the development efforts of the Aquino Government It will identify the successful project activities and attempt to explain the advantages these have over ess successful activities It plans to investigate the problems and issues which appear to have hampered or delayedimplementation of the less successful and to determine mechanisms to avoid or resolve them The evaluation also will identiFy and assess new approaches for using project resources to achieve project objectives
More soecifically it will focus on five general areas
a the current status of project implementationb exIec7ations and Perceptions of TDI project by NEDA and USAID and c factors affecting project implementation d selection of DI componenT issues and Training component participants
and e opportunities and mechanisms for improving the project
As scheduled in the project paper the first evaluation will be conducted in FY 86
Based on tne findings the evaluation should recommend whether basicchannes in theproject design and implementation Procedures are necessary The recommendatiors should indicate the advantages and disadvantages of the design and procedural changes advocated
III QUESTIONS FOR THE EVALUATION TEAM

IV TEAM COMIPOSITION
The evaluation team must exhibit a thorough understanding of the following subject areas
1 Operations of the GOP specifically of NEDA and OEM2 Philippine develoDment issues and how these relate to policies3 IMechanics of Ai0 and USAIDPhilippines and4 The nature of the relationshio between USAID and N-DA5 The develooment priorities and opportunities of the Aquino government
The teams comPosition should represent expertise in the fields of organizational planning and management policy-making evaluation and management of research and training activities Given the sensitivities surrounding this project and the importance of this evaluation the teamshould not only be experts in the subject areas above they should also bewell known and respected by both INEDA and AID A team is expected to becomposed of a mix of Philippine and US consulrants or MissionAIDWashington personnel
The team will not have to collect and analyze a great deal of information because there have been very few implementation actions to date Thus asmall team of perhaps three or maybe four highly qualified persons should be sufficient

7 For reasons that have already been indicated elsewhere in this
report at of part ofleast the management the procedures of the Development
Issues component (which now excludes training) should be transferred or
subcontracted to the Philippine Institute for Development Studies (PIDS) which
has consideraile experience with managing research and working with USAID
8 To improve the implementation of the development issues component
(a) The Steering Committee especially in light of the priorities of
the new GOP administration should focus and prioritize the Agenda of Areas of
Research This should be done with the intent of selecting only a limited
number of development issues in order to concentrate efforts involve more
institutions in the same topic and culminate through a series of activities
in concrete policy recommendations
(b) TDI-PI0 should implement present plans for more frequent workshops
and advertisements to solicit research proposals and to broaden participation
(c) In addition high level NEDA officials should continue to endeavor
to involve directly other ministers and deputy ministers in the selection of
development issue topics research assignments and discussions of results
NEDA should continue to make readily available TDI resources to other
ministries
(d) The regular selection process should be made simpler and quicker
through such steps as greater discretionary power to the NEDA-TDI Project
Manager to approve proposals on already cleared topics without further
approval of the Steering Committee or USAIO up to a limit of say $15000
per proposal
(e) An alternative formechanism selecting consultants should be
designed to meet immediate short-term needs The NEDA-TDI project manager
should have greater authority to initiate on his own within topic guidelines
approved by the Steering Committee and USAID consultancy contracts This
authority snould be limited both as to amount of any individual contract say
$15000 and to the total amount of all such contracts for the year say
$100000
9 The Evaluation Team endorses the TDI-PMO proposals for improving the
overall effectiveness and impact of training activities Specifically
(a)A more detailed training plan for the balance of the project
duration should be prepared based on an updated assessment of institutional
training needs The team feels that in this assessment special attention
should be given to the needs of regional offices Further while maximum
adherence to the formulated plan is desirable provision for some degree of
flexibility should also be allowed to enable the project to respond to
unforeseen but urgent training requirements that may arise in the course of
implemfentation For this purpose ten (10) per cent of the uncommitted
balance of the training allocation could remain unprogrammed and availed of
largely on a need basis
(b) Institutional participation in the training component should be
broadened not so much however by increasing the number of participating
institutions (although possibly that too) but more through the provision of
proportionately more slots to institutions that have been determined to rank
high in the institutional prioritization scheme
(c) Participation from the regional levels should be increased and
perhaps even given priority
(d) Extension of funding support to training in suitable fields in
selected regional training institutions in the country should be undertaken
n this reard full consi deration should be given toi nci uding training
ororms 7 rv ate -c--nal insi tutions The proposal to explore the
devloomnt of a aster s roram in DcveloDment Economics at the UP in

10 7n add-isn to the forejoing a reassessment of the distribution of

not tIen soe shi ftng in proportions should be effected
11 Finally to enable continuini assessment of the extent to which project ojectives for the training component are being achieved the
otng system envisaged nder the project should immediately be
establisned and activated

$4500000 (AID-funded) $1200000 (Grant) $3300000 (Loan) $1500000 (GOP)
Purpose The purpose of the project is to improve the capability of Philippine Government and other institutions to analyze development issues and to make sound and timely development-related decisions
Current Status The above-mentioned purpose is pursued through the implementation of two project components namely (1)Participant Training Component and (2) Development Issues Comoonent As of 31 December 1985 a total of 29 overseas and 15 local training participants nave been supported by the Participant Training Component Meanwhile the Development Issues Component has directed efforts toward the development of the technical base for effective policy analysis Through the conduct of three researches under the broad develoPment issues identified for project attention preparation of concept papers on development planningand policy issues and provision of support for 4 overseas the same
and 34 local training participants As of date the Participant Training Component has
obligated 609 p-r cent of the total loan appropriation it has received so far and 967 per cent of its total grant budget The Developmeit Issues Component on the other hand has obligated 437 per cent of the total loan appropriations and 164 per cent of its total grant budget
I PURPOSE AND TIING OF THE EVALUATION
This evaluation will assess the progress of the implementation of the TDI Project and make reccmmendations for maximizing the projects impact on the development efforts of the Aquino Government It will identify the successful project activities and attempt to explain the advantages these have over ess successful activities It plans to investigate the problems and issues which appear to have hampered or delayedimplementation of the less successful and to determine mechanisms to avoid or resolve them The evaluation also will identiFy and assess new approaches for using project resources to achieve project objectives
More soecifically it will focus on five general areas
a the current status of project implementationb exIec7ations and Perceptions of TDI project by NEDA and USAID and c factors affecting project implementation d selection of DI componenT issues and Training component participants
and e opportunities and mechanisms for improving the project
As scheduled in the project paper the first evaluation will be conducted in FY 86
Based on tne findings the evaluation should recommend whether basicchannes in theproject design and implementation Procedures are necessary The recommendatiors should indicate the advantages and disadvantages of the design and procedural changes advocated

IV TEAM COMIPOSITION
The evaluation team must exhibit a thorough understanding of the following subject areas
1 Operations of the GOP specifically of NEDA and OEM2 Philippine develoDment issues and how these relate to policies3 IMechanics of Ai0 and USAIDPhilippines and4 The nature of the relationshio between USAID and N-DA5 The develooment priorities and opportunities of the Aquino government
The teams comPosition should represent expertise in the fields of organizational planning and management policy-making evaluation and management of research and training activities Given the sensitivities surrounding this project and the importance of this evaluation the teamshould not only be experts in the subject areas above they should also bewell known and respected by both INEDA and AID A team is expected to becomposed of a mix of Philippine and US consulrants or MissionAIDWashington personnel
The team will not have to collect and analyze a great deal of information because there have been very few implementation actions to date Thus asmall team of perhaps three or maybe four highly qualified persons should be sufficient

7 For reasons that have already been indicated elsewhere in this
report at of part ofleast the management the procedures of the Development
Issues component (which now excludes training) should be transferred or
subcontracted to the Philippine Institute for Development Studies (PIDS) which
has consideraile experience with managing research and working with USAID
8 To improve the implementation of the development issues component
(a) The Steering Committee especially in light of the priorities of
the new GOP administration should focus and prioritize the Agenda of Areas of
Research This should be done with the intent of selecting only a limited
number of development issues in order to concentrate efforts involve more
institutions in the same topic and culminate through a series of activities
in concrete policy recommendations
(b) TDI-PI0 should implement present plans for more frequent workshops
and advertisements to solicit research proposals and to broaden participation
(c) In addition high level NEDA officials should continue to endeavor
to involve directly other ministers and deputy ministers in the selection of
development issue topics research assignments and discussions of results
NEDA should continue to make readily available TDI resources to other
ministries
(d) The regular selection process should be made simpler and quicker
through such steps as greater discretionary power to the NEDA-TDI Project
Manager to approve proposals on already cleared topics without further
approval of the Steering Committee or USAIO up to a limit of say $15000
per proposal
(e) An alternative formechanism selecting consultants should be
designed to meet immediate short-term needs The NEDA-TDI project manager
should have greater authority to initiate on his own within topic guidelines
approved by the Steering Committee and USAID consultancy contracts This
authority snould be limited both as to amount of any individual contract say
$15000 and to the total amount of all such contracts for the year say
$100000
9 The Evaluation Team endorses the TDI-PMO proposals for improving the
overall effectiveness and impact of training activities Specifically
(a)A more detailed training plan for the balance of the project
duration should be prepared based on an updated assessment of institutional
training needs The team feels that in this assessment special attention
should be given to the needs of regional offices Further while maximum
adherence to the formulated plan is desirable provision for some degree of
flexibility should also be allowed to enable the project to respond to
unforeseen but urgent training requirements that may arise in the course of
implemfentation For this purpose ten (10) per cent of the uncommitted
balance of the training allocation could remain unprogrammed and availed of
largely on a need basis
(b) Institutional participation in the training component should be
broadened not so much however by increasing the number of participating
institutions (although possibly that too) but more through the provision of
proportionately more slots to institutions that have been determined to rank
high in the institutional prioritization scheme
(c) Participation from the regional levels should be increased and
perhaps even given priority
(d) Extension of funding support to training in suitable fields in
selected regional training institutions in the country should be undertaken
n this reard full consi deration should be given toi nci uding training
ororms 7 rv ate -c--nal insi tutions The proposal to explore the
devloomnt of a aster s roram in DcveloDment Economics at the UP in
Diliman is siMilarlI endorsed
10 7n add-isn to the forejoing a reassessment of the distribution of
ii-s is-ai r 1 ly t iclh general and te more
setor-soecifiPopo1 cy analysi s stud prcgrams should be unde rtaken to ensure
th t the latter type of neecs is indeed being adequately addressed through
thi-s rojett in comb na tion i - othr d or-assi sted training programs If
not tIen soe shi ftng in proportions should be effected
11 Finally to enable continuini assessment of the extent to which project ojectives for the training component are being achieved the
otng system envisaged nder the project should immediately be
establisned and activated

$4500000 (AID-funded) $1200000 (Grant) $3300000 (Loan) $1500000 (GOP)
Purpose The purpose of the project is to improve the capability of Philippine Government and other institutions to analyze development issues and to make sound and timely development-related decisions
Current Status The above-mentioned purpose is pursued through the implementation of two project components namely (1)Participant Training Component and (2) Development Issues Comoonent As of 31 December 1985 a total of 29 overseas and 15 local training participants nave been supported by the Participant Training Component Meanwhile the Development Issues Component has directed efforts toward the development of the technical base for effective policy analysis Through the conduct of three researches under the broad develoPment issues identified for project attention preparation of concept papers on development planningand policy issues and provision of support for 4 overseas the same
and 34 local training participants As of date the Participant Training Component has
obligated 609 p-r cent of the total loan appropriation it has received so far and 967 per cent of its total grant budget The Developmeit Issues Component on the other hand has obligated 437 per cent of the total loan appropriations and 164 per cent of its total grant budget
I PURPOSE AND TIING OF THE EVALUATION
This evaluation will assess the progress of the implementation of the TDI Project and make reccmmendations for maximizing the projects impact on the development efforts of the Aquino Government It will identify the successful project activities and attempt to explain the advantages these have over ess successful activities It plans to investigate the problems and issues which appear to have hampered or delayedimplementation of the less successful and to determine mechanisms to avoid or resolve them The evaluation also will identiFy and assess new approaches for using project resources to achieve project objectives
More soecifically it will focus on five general areas
a the current status of project implementationb exIec7ations and Perceptions of TDI project by NEDA and USAID and c factors affecting project implementation d selection of DI componenT issues and Training component participants
and e opportunities and mechanisms for improving the project
As scheduled in the project paper the first evaluation will be conducted in FY 86
Based on tne findings the evaluation should recommend whether basicchannes in theproject design and implementation Procedures are necessary The recommendatiors should indicate the advantages and disadvantages of the design and procedural changes advocated

IV TEAM COMIPOSITION
The evaluation team must exhibit a thorough understanding of the following subject areas
1 Operations of the GOP specifically of NEDA and OEM2 Philippine develoDment issues and how these relate to policies3 IMechanics of Ai0 and USAIDPhilippines and4 The nature of the relationshio between USAID and N-DA5 The develooment priorities and opportunities of the Aquino government
The teams comPosition should represent expertise in the fields of organizational planning and management policy-making evaluation and management of research and training activities Given the sensitivities surrounding this project and the importance of this evaluation the teamshould not only be experts in the subject areas above they should also bewell known and respected by both INEDA and AID A team is expected to becomposed of a mix of Philippine and US consulrants or MissionAIDWashington personnel
The team will not have to collect and analyze a great deal of information because there have been very few implementation actions to date Thus asmall team of perhaps three or maybe four highly qualified persons should be sufficient

7 For reasons that have already been indicated elsewhere in this
report at of part ofleast the management the procedures of the Development
Issues component (which now excludes training) should be transferred or
subcontracted to the Philippine Institute for Development Studies (PIDS) which
has consideraile experience with managing research and working with USAID
8 To improve the implementation of the development issues component
(a) The Steering Committee especially in light of the priorities of
the new GOP administration should focus and prioritize the Agenda of Areas of
Research This should be done with the intent of selecting only a limited
number of development issues in order to concentrate efforts involve more
institutions in the same topic and culminate through a series of activities
in concrete policy recommendations
(b) TDI-PI0 should implement present plans for more frequent workshops
and advertisements to solicit research proposals and to broaden participation
(c) In addition high level NEDA officials should continue to endeavor
to involve directly other ministers and deputy ministers in the selection of
development issue topics research assignments and discussions of results
NEDA should continue to make readily available TDI resources to other
ministries
(d) The regular selection process should be made simpler and quicker
through such steps as greater discretionary power to the NEDA-TDI Project
Manager to approve proposals on already cleared topics without further
approval of the Steering Committee or USAIO up to a limit of say $15000
per proposal
(e) An alternative formechanism selecting consultants should be
designed to meet immediate short-term needs The NEDA-TDI project manager
should have greater authority to initiate on his own within topic guidelines
approved by the Steering Committee and USAID consultancy contracts This
authority snould be limited both as to amount of any individual contract say
$15000 and to the total amount of all such contracts for the year say
$100000
9 The Evaluation Team endorses the TDI-PMO proposals for improving the
overall effectiveness and impact of training activities Specifically
(a)A more detailed training plan for the balance of the project
duration should be prepared based on an updated assessment of institutional
training needs The team feels that in this assessment special attention
should be given to the needs of regional offices Further while maximum
adherence to the formulated plan is desirable provision for some degree of
flexibility should also be allowed to enable the project to respond to
unforeseen but urgent training requirements that may arise in the course of
implemfentation For this purpose ten (10) per cent of the uncommitted
balance of the training allocation could remain unprogrammed and availed of
largely on a need basis
(b) Institutional participation in the training component should be
broadened not so much however by increasing the number of participating
institutions (although possibly that too) but more through the provision of
proportionately more slots to institutions that have been determined to rank
high in the institutional prioritization scheme
(c) Participation from the regional levels should be increased and
perhaps even given priority
(d) Extension of funding support to training in suitable fields in
selected regional training institutions in the country should be undertaken
n this reard full consi deration should be given toi nci uding training
ororms 7 rv ate -c--nal insi tutions The proposal to explore the
devloomnt of a aster s roram in DcveloDment Economics at the UP in
Diliman is siMilarlI endorsed
10 7n add-isn to the forejoing a reassessment of the distribution of
ii-s is-ai r 1 ly t iclh general and te more
setor-soecifiPopo1 cy analysi s stud prcgrams should be unde rtaken to ensure
th t the latter type of neecs is indeed being adequately addressed through
thi-s rojett in comb na tion i - othr d or-assi sted training programs If
not tIen soe shi ftng in proportions should be effected
11 Finally to enable continuini assessment of the extent to which project ojectives for the training component are being achieved the
otng system envisaged nder the project should immediately be
establisned and activated

IV TEAM COMIPOSITION
The evaluation team must exhibit a thorough understanding of the following subject areas
1 Operations of the GOP specifically of NEDA and OEM2 Philippine develoDment issues and how these relate to policies3 IMechanics of Ai0 and USAIDPhilippines and4 The nature of the relationshio between USAID and N-DA5 The develooment priorities and opportunities of the Aquino government
The teams comPosition should represent expertise in the fields of organizational planning and management policy-making evaluation and management of research and training activities Given the sensitivities surrounding this project and the importance of this evaluation the teamshould not only be experts in the subject areas above they should also bewell known and respected by both INEDA and AID A team is expected to becomposed of a mix of Philippine and US consulrants or MissionAIDWashington personnel
The team will not have to collect and analyze a great deal of information because there have been very few implementation actions to date Thus asmall team of perhaps three or maybe four highly qualified persons should be sufficient

7 For reasons that have already been indicated elsewhere in this
report at of part ofleast the management the procedures of the Development
Issues component (which now excludes training) should be transferred or
subcontracted to the Philippine Institute for Development Studies (PIDS) which
has consideraile experience with managing research and working with USAID
8 To improve the implementation of the development issues component
(a) The Steering Committee especially in light of the priorities of
the new GOP administration should focus and prioritize the Agenda of Areas of
Research This should be done with the intent of selecting only a limited
number of development issues in order to concentrate efforts involve more
institutions in the same topic and culminate through a series of activities
in concrete policy recommendations
(b) TDI-PI0 should implement present plans for more frequent workshops
and advertisements to solicit research proposals and to broaden participation
(c) In addition high level NEDA officials should continue to endeavor
to involve directly other ministers and deputy ministers in the selection of
development issue topics research assignments and discussions of results
NEDA should continue to make readily available TDI resources to other
ministries
(d) The regular selection process should be made simpler and quicker
through such steps as greater discretionary power to the NEDA-TDI Project
Manager to approve proposals on already cleared topics without further
approval of the Steering Committee or USAIO up to a limit of say $15000
per proposal
(e) An alternative formechanism selecting consultants should be
designed to meet immediate short-term needs The NEDA-TDI project manager
should have greater authority to initiate on his own within topic guidelines
approved by the Steering Committee and USAID consultancy contracts This
authority snould be limited both as to amount of any individual contract say
$15000 and to the total amount of all such contracts for the year say
$100000
9 The Evaluation Team endorses the TDI-PMO proposals for improving the
overall effectiveness and impact of training activities Specifically
(a)A more detailed training plan for the balance of the project
duration should be prepared based on an updated assessment of institutional
training needs The team feels that in this assessment special attention
should be given to the needs of regional offices Further while maximum
adherence to the formulated plan is desirable provision for some degree of
flexibility should also be allowed to enable the project to respond to
unforeseen but urgent training requirements that may arise in the course of
implemfentation For this purpose ten (10) per cent of the uncommitted
balance of the training allocation could remain unprogrammed and availed of
largely on a need basis
(b) Institutional participation in the training component should be
broadened not so much however by increasing the number of participating
institutions (although possibly that too) but more through the provision of
proportionately more slots to institutions that have been determined to rank
high in the institutional prioritization scheme
(c) Participation from the regional levels should be increased and
perhaps even given priority
(d) Extension of funding support to training in suitable fields in
selected regional training institutions in the country should be undertaken
n this reard full consi deration should be given toi nci uding training
ororms 7 rv ate -c--nal insi tutions The proposal to explore the
devloomnt of a aster s roram in DcveloDment Economics at the UP in
Diliman is siMilarlI endorsed
10 7n add-isn to the forejoing a reassessment of the distribution of
ii-s is-ai r 1 ly t iclh general and te more
setor-soecifiPopo1 cy analysi s stud prcgrams should be unde rtaken to ensure
th t the latter type of neecs is indeed being adequately addressed through
thi-s rojett in comb na tion i - othr d or-assi sted training programs If
not tIen soe shi ftng in proportions should be effected
11 Finally to enable continuini assessment of the extent to which project ojectives for the training component are being achieved the
otng system envisaged nder the project should immediately be
establisned and activated

authority snould be limited both as to amount of any individual contract say
$15000 and to the total amount of all such contracts for the year say
$100000
9 The Evaluation Team endorses the TDI-PMO proposals for improving the
overall effectiveness and impact of training activities Specifically
(a)A more detailed training plan for the balance of the project
duration should be prepared based on an updated assessment of institutional
training needs The team feels that in this assessment special attention
should be given to the needs of regional offices Further while maximum
adherence to the formulated plan is desirable provision for some degree of
flexibility should also be allowed to enable the project to respond to
unforeseen but urgent training requirements that may arise in the course of
implemfentation For this purpose ten (10) per cent of the uncommitted
balance of the training allocation could remain unprogrammed and availed of
largely on a need basis
(b) Institutional participation in the training component should be
broadened not so much however by increasing the number of participating
institutions (although possibly that too) but more through the provision of
proportionately more slots to institutions that have been determined to rank
high in the institutional prioritization scheme
(c) Participation from the regional levels should be increased and
perhaps even given priority
(d) Extension of funding support to training in suitable fields in
selected regional training institutions in the country should be undertaken
n this reard full consi deration should be given toi nci uding training
ororms 7 rv ate -c--nal insi tutions The proposal to explore the
devloomnt of a aster s roram in DcveloDment Economics at the UP in

11 Finally to enable continuini assessment of the extent to which project ojectives for the training component are being achieved the
otng system envisaged nder the project should immediately be
establisned and activated

IV TEAM COMIPOSITION
The evaluation team must exhibit a thorough understanding of the following subject areas
1 Operations of the GOP specifically of NEDA and OEM2 Philippine develoDment issues and how these relate to policies3 IMechanics of Ai0 and USAIDPhilippines and4 The nature of the relationshio between USAID and N-DA5 The develooment priorities and opportunities of the Aquino government
The teams comPosition should represent expertise in the fields of organizational planning and management policy-making evaluation and management of research and training activities Given the sensitivities surrounding this project and the importance of this evaluation the teamshould not only be experts in the subject areas above they should also bewell known and respected by both INEDA and AID A team is expected to becomposed of a mix of Philippine and US consulrants or MissionAIDWashington personnel
The team will not have to collect and analyze a great deal of information because there have been very few implementation actions to date Thus asmall team of perhaps three or maybe four highly qualified persons should be sufficient

IV TEAM COMIPOSITION
The evaluation team must exhibit a thorough understanding of the following subject areas
1 Operations of the GOP specifically of NEDA and OEM2 Philippine develoDment issues and how these relate to policies3 IMechanics of Ai0 and USAIDPhilippines and4 The nature of the relationshio between USAID and N-DA5 The develooment priorities and opportunities of the Aquino government
The teams comPosition should represent expertise in the fields of organizational planning and management policy-making evaluation and management of research and training activities Given the sensitivities surrounding this project and the importance of this evaluation the teamshould not only be experts in the subject areas above they should also bewell known and respected by both INEDA and AID A team is expected to becomposed of a mix of Philippine and US consulrants or MissionAIDWashington personnel
The team will not have to collect and analyze a great deal of information because there have been very few implementation actions to date Thus asmall team of perhaps three or maybe four highly qualified persons should be sufficient

IV TEAM COMIPOSITION
The evaluation team must exhibit a thorough understanding of the following subject areas
1 Operations of the GOP specifically of NEDA and OEM2 Philippine develoDment issues and how these relate to policies3 IMechanics of Ai0 and USAIDPhilippines and4 The nature of the relationshio between USAID and N-DA5 The develooment priorities and opportunities of the Aquino government
The teams comPosition should represent expertise in the fields of organizational planning and management policy-making evaluation and management of research and training activities Given the sensitivities surrounding this project and the importance of this evaluation the teamshould not only be experts in the subject areas above they should also bewell known and respected by both INEDA and AID A team is expected to becomposed of a mix of Philippine and US consulrants or MissionAIDWashington personnel
The team will not have to collect and analyze a great deal of information because there have been very few implementation actions to date Thus asmall team of perhaps three or maybe four highly qualified persons should be sufficient
