Low Budget Utilization, Realignment Deficiencies, and Target Shortfalls in GAD Programs

Pulilan · 2024

What Happened?

Category: Financial ManagementIssue: Performance

Several GAD programs spent only a fraction of their budgets or had funds completely unspent, requiring money to be shifted to other activities. One nutrition seminar failed to hit its attendance target due to a lack of food funds, while crisis assistance spending blew past its original budget because millions were transferred in from other projects.

Why It Matters

Recommended Actions

  • Require the Municipal Planning and Development Coordinator and the Municipal Engineer to continue the implementation of the programmed PPAs as planned, to ensure the delivery of intended socio-economic benefits to the public.
