MANILA – The National Economic and Development Authority (NEDA) on Wednesday launched the Infrastructure Flagship Projects (IFPs) dashboard to better monitor IFPs.
The dashboard is a publicly available interactive tool that provides an overview of the 194 IFPs, highlighting their status, cost requirements, distribution by sector, mode of financing, and regional location.
It shall enable users to easily navigate, explore, analyze and delve into the data of the IFPs.
"Through this monitoring platform, we want to demonstrate the government's commitment to transparency, accountability, and efficient governance over the IFPs that will transform our economic landscape over the medium term," NEDA Secretary Arsenio Balisacan said in a briefing.
“We expect the IFPs Dashboard to play a significant role in enhancing public-sector transparency as we monitor the progress and status of our major infrastructure projects. The platform also serves to promote accountability among implementing agencies given that agencies are directed to regularly update NEDA on the progress of their IFPs on a quarterly basis.”
In its current state, the dashboard provides the status of the 194 IFPs as of the first quarter of 2023 serving as a baseline to benchmark future implementation progress of the projects.
Data collection for the second quarter of the 2023 monitoring report is already underway.
These will be presented to the Committee on Infrastructure (INFRACOM) and NEDA Board starting middle of August.
“NEDA is committed to efficiently govern the implementation of the government’s IFPs. We will ensure the quality and timely execution of these projects as they are critical in facilitating the transformation of the Philippine economic landscape over the next six years,” Balisacan said. (PNA)
