The municipality reported its gender and development activities, but did not back up the report with the required gender analysis tools and results. This makes it harder to verify whether the GAD funds were truly effective.

Why It Matters

Recommended Actions

• Continue to comply with the budgetary requirement of at least 5% of the Municipality’s total budget appropriation for GAD PPAs
• (b) prioritize the implementation of the identified PPAs as per GPB to achieve and promote desirable gender responsive society
• And (c) utilize fully the GAD budget in order to attain the objective for which the funds were appropriated.

Original Audit Finding Excerpt

"7.7 Further verification, however, revealed that the GAD AR was not supported with the results of the HGDG test to assess the gender responsiveness of its major programs and projects."
