KReasons for the PerformanceEnabling FactorsPositive conditions or support that contributed to meeting or surpassing the target. These may include institutional, financial, technical, or operational factors. Briefly state (in 1-2 sentences) what enabled successful implementation or supported progress (e.g., strong LGU or partner support, timely fund release, technical assistance from regional staff, streamlined procurement process). Always indicate the year (i.e., 2023 and/or 2024).

SAMPLE ENTRY: In 2023, expanded program coverage and strong field implementation supported target achievement.
19
LChallenges/ConstraintsIssues or barriers that hindered progress or affected the efficiency and effectiveness of implementation. These may be internal or external in nature. Always indicate the year (i.e., 2023 and/or 2024). This is especially required if the target was missed or underachieved.Briefly state (in 1-2 sentences) the problems encountered, their causes, and how they affected performance. Focus on challenges that explain delays, underperformance, or implementation gaps (e.g., staffing shortages, procurement delays, delayed fund release, peace and order issues, natural disasters, lack of LGU support). Always indicate the year (i.e., 2023 and/or 2024).

SAMPLE ENTRY: In 2024, partial delays in activity rollout due to limited field personnel resulted in the slight underachievement of the target.

PProposed RevisedSuggested revisions to the original annual targets. Revisions should only be made if there are major gaps, policy shifts, updated baselines, or changes in implementation context. Proposed figures must align with recent accomplishments, implementation capacity, and strategic direction.Indicate revised annual targets only if warranted. Ensure the figures are realistic, evidence-based, and aligned with recent accomplishments and implementation capacity. If no revision is needed, input “No revision needed”.

The revised targets must remain consistent with the original unit of measurement and scope. For example, if the indicator measures the number of MSMEs assisted, the revised targets must still be expressed in number of MSMEs.

If there are changes to the indicator itself (e.g., from “number of trainings conducted” to “number of trainees reached”), leave Columns P–R blank. Instead, indicate the change in Column T (Proposed Action), provide a rationale in Column U, and accomplish Table 2 for the proposed revised indicator.

SReason for Revision/
Non-Revision of Targets		Justification for evising or retaining the original targets. Revisions should be made only if there are major gaps, policy shifts, updated baselines, or changes in implementation context. Justifications must reflect recent accomplishments, implementation capacity, and strategic direction.If targets were revised, briefly state the reason (e.g., expanded scope, updated funding, delayed rollout). If no revision was made, explain why the original targets remain appropriate based on performance and current program conditions.

SAMPLE ENTRY: Original targets retained; still aligned with trend and implementation capacity.
27
TStatus of IndicatorsProposed ActionRecommended action for the indicator in the RDP midterm updating (e.g., retain, drop, revise, add new). Options include:
1. No change
2. Drop – no longer monitored
3. Indicator to be refined (Table 2)
4. Recommended for replacement (see Table 2)
5. Add new indicator (Table 2)
6. Others – specify		Select from the dropdown the most appropriate action for the indicator.

If Options 3–6 are selected, provide a rationale in Column U and complete Table 2 (Proposed Revisions or Additions to the EV RDP 2023-2028 Indicators).

Updates to the baseline year or value should be marked under Option 3: Indicator to be refined, as long as the indicator definition remains the same. Read more in Table 2 below.
28
URationaleCaptures the justification for selecting Options 3–6 in Column T (Proposed Action).If Options 3–6 were selected in Column T (Proposed Action), overwrite the placeholder text (“type justification here”) with a brief explanation (1–2 sentences) that supports the proposed change.

EXAMPLES:
• Option 3 (Refine indicator):
“Wording clarified for consistency; measurement method unchanged.”
or
“Updated baseline year and value; indicator definition remains unchanged.”

• Option 4 (Recommended for replacement):
“Original indicator discontinued in agency MIS.”

• Option 5 (Add new indicator):
“Covers major program not previously tracked in RDP.”

• Option 6 (Others – specify):
“Merged with related indicator to reduce redundancy.”

If Options 1 or 2 were selected in Column T, indicate “Not applicable.”

32
AChapterThe EV RDP 2023–2028 Chapter number and title where the indicator is proposed to be included.Provide the relevant RDP Chapter number and title where the proposed indicator is aligned.
33
BOutcomeThe outcome (desired result or condition) in the current RDP that the indicator supports or contributes to.Copy the exact outcome statement from the current RDP that the proposed indicator supports or contributes to.
34
CIndicator TypeSpecifies whether the proposed indicator is a refinement or replacement of existing indicators in the EV RDP 2023–2028, or a new one."State whether the proposed indicator is a Refinement, Replacement, or New. This must align with the Proposed Action selected in Table 1 (Column T).

Refinement: If the indicator is being slightly modified for clarity, improved phrasing, or to update the baseline year or value, while the core concept, scope, and unit of measurement remain unchanged (i.e., it still measures the same thing in the same way).

Sample Refinements using the base indicator “Number of MSMEs assisted (cumulative)”:
• Name: Number of MSMEs assisted (annual) — clarified how the data is aggregated over time (annual vs. cumulative)
• Baseline Value: Updated from 25,000 to 28,400 using more recent or validated data — only the starting point changed
• Baseline Year: Shifted from 2021 to 2022 — updated time reference, no change to definition

Replacement: If the original indicator is to be discontinued and replaced with another that measures a different concept or uses a different unit, even if still within the same program area.

Sample Replacement:
From “Number of MSMEs assisted (cumulative)” to “Number of MSME development programs implemented” — this no longer measures beneficiaries but instead tracks number of programs (change in concept and unit of measurement).

New: If the indicator is not listed in the current RDP and represents a new outcome, output, or program area not previously monitored."
35
DIndicatorA quantitative or qualitative factor or variable that provides a simple and reliable means to measure achievement. Indicators reflect changes resulting from interventions and help assess performance toward the specified outcome.

An indicator:
• Follows the principles of SMART (Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Realistic, Time-bound), and
• Covers QQTAB dimensions (Quality, Quantity, Time, Area, and Beneficiaries)		Provide the full text of the proposed indicator. It should clearly describe the intended output or outcome being measured and must be framed as a quantitative or qualitative measure.

Indicate the:
• Unit of measure (e.g., absolute value, percentage, ratio), and
• Whether reporting will be cumulative (running total) or annual (per year).
While both are valid, annual tracking is preferred unless cumulative tracking is more appropriate to the indicator's nature.
36
When to Use Annual vs. Cumulative Reporting:

Annual Targeting: The output repeats or resets each year, and performance is tracked year by year.

• Example Indicator: “Number of MSMEs assisted increase (annual)”
• Targeting: 2026: 10,000 | 2027: 11,000 | 2028: 12,000
• Why: Fresh set of beneficiaries each year; annual resource planning and delivery.

Cumulative Targeting: The result builds over time, and what matters is the total achieved. Often used for infrastructure or full-coverage goals.

• Example Indicator: “Number of barangays with operational evacuation centers increased (cumulative)”
• Targeting: 2026: 350 | 2027: 400 | 2028: 450
• Why: Once a barangay is covered, it remains part of the total.

Note:
• If the indicator is labeled annual, the targets must be annual.
• If the indicator is cumulative, targets must also be cumulative.
Choose the format based on the nature of what’s being measured and how progress accumulates (or doesn’t) year to year.
37
EBaseline ValueThe actual measured value of the indicator prior to the RDP updating. This serves as the reference point for tracking progress against annual and end-of-plan targets. The data should be as of 2024 or the most recent available year prior to 2024.Provide the actual indicator value from 2024 or the latest available year before 2024. Use the correct unit of measurement (e.g., number, percent) consistent with the indicator.
38
FYearThe reference year of the baseline value provided. This should be 2024 or earlier, depending on the availability of data.Indicate the year corresponding to the baseline value entered in the previous column.
39
GAnnual Plan Targets 2026Corresponds to the annual change or contribution (expressed in the same unit of measure as the indicator) as a result of the interventions (outputs and services delivered) undertaken.Indicate the annual target for each year (2026, 2027, 2028) using absolute values, percentages, or ratios—as appropriate for the indicator.

Annual targets must align with how the indicator is framed in Column D:
• If the indicator is labeled “annual”, the targets must reflect annual increments (e.g., number per year).
• If the indicator is labeled “cumulative”, the targets must reflect the running total over time.

Important: Avoid expressing annual targets as cumulative figures unless clearly justified by the nature of the indicator. Annual (incremental) targets are preferred because they clarify year-on-year contributions toward outcomes. This supports more accurate tracking of outputs delivered, resources utilized, and implementation efficiency per year.
40
H2027
41
I2028
42
JEnd-of-Plan Target2028The target value expected by the end of the Plan period (2028), based on the nature of the indicator.

• For annual indicators, this is the total sum of yearly outputs over the Plan period (e.g., 2026–2028 combined).

• For cumulative indicators, this is the final total value to be reached by 2028, inclusive of progress from the baseline year.

This serves as the overall result or condition to be reached through the full implementation of interventions under the RDP.		Specify target value by 2028 using the same unit of measure as the indicator.

Ensure that the value:
• Reflects the total outcome expected by the end of 2028
• Aligns with the nature of the indicator:
• Annual indicator – total sum of 2026–2028 targets
• Cumulative indicator – final cumulative total by 2028

The target should be realistic and consistent with annual targets and program scope.
43
KMeans of VerificationRefers to the source or document that will be used to track or validate progress on the indicator. The MOV must:

• Identify the source or provider of the data (e.g., PSA);

• Provide a basis for accurate and timely reporting on whether the target has been achieved; and

• Allow for objective, reliable, and independent verification.

Common examples include:

• Survey results – FIES, LFS (PSA)

• Poverty statistics – Official Poverty Statistics based on FIES data (PSA)

• Administrative records – BEIS (DepEd), FHSIS (DOH), RSBSA (DA)

• System-generated reports – eNGAS (COA), monitoring dashboards

• Official registries or databases – PhilSys Registry (PSA)		Indicate the specific source or document that will be used to validate the indicator. Clarify whether it is based on surveys (e.g., FIES for poverty incidence, LFS for employment), administrative records (e.g., BEIS for education access), or system outputs (e.g., reports, registries). Ensure the MOV is aligned with the indicator’s nature and measurement method.

EXAMPLE:
Indicator: Poverty incidence among population (%, cumulative)
Means of Verification: Official Poverty Statistics from PSA based on FIES
44
LResponsible AgencyRefers to the implementing agency primarily accountable for delivering the outputs or interventions related to the indicator. This agency is responsible for achieving the target and ensuring program execution.Indicate the lead implementing agency that carries out the activities, programs, or services that directly contribute to the result being measured by the indicator.

EXAMPLE:
Indicator: Poverty incidence among population decreased (%; cumulative)
Responsible Agencies: LGUs, RLAs (e.g., DSWD)
45
MReporting AgencyRefers to the lead agency responsible for reporting progress on the indicator. This includes consolidating, validating, and submitting performance data in the RDP Results Matrices and regional reports.Indicate the agency expected to report the indicator’s progress regularly in official statistical or results reporting systems.

EXAMPLE:
• Indicator: Poverty incidence among population decreased (%; cumulative)
• Responsible Agencies: LGUs, RLAs (e.g., DSWD)
• Reporting Agency: PSA

Note: A Responsible Agency may also serve as the Reporting Agency if it both implements the intervention and tracks its progress (e.g., DTI implements and reports on MSME programs).
However, a Reporting Agency that only compiles or releases data (e.g., PSA) cannot be considered the Responsible Agency unless it also implements the relevant programs or activities.
46
NAssumptions and RisksRefers to the critical conditions and uncertainties that could influence the achievement of the indicator targets. These include both:

• Assumptions – Conditions or hypotheses expected to hold true for inputs, activities, and outputs to lead to the desired results. These are the external enabling factors necessary for implementation success (e.g., continued political support, stable funding, functioning systems).

• Risks – Specific, uncertain events or conditions that may adversely affect the delivery of inputs, completion of activities, or achievement of outcomes. Risks often emerge when key assumptions do not hold.

Project assumptions may become risks when there is uncertainty around their validity. Achieving results depends on whether these assumptions are realized.

This field may also include policies, strategies, or systemic enablers critical for achieving the outcome (e.g., timely passage of legislation, effective coordination mechanisms).		Identify key assumptions that must be in place for the indicator to be achieved, and risks that may hinder progress. Be concise and specific. Avoid generic or overly broad statements. Include both external conditions (e.g., LGU buy-in, funding availability) and systemic or policy enablers when relevant.

EXAMPLE:
• Assumption: Stable budget support from GAA for program continuity
• Risk: Delay in implementing agency’s procurement process
