Barangay Development Investment Program (BDIP)
On the next page is the Barangay Planning and Budgeting Calendar for the preparation and submission of development plans and budget.23
The BDP sets the priority areas of services and specifies target outputs and accomplishments of the barangay. It usually covers a fiveyear period or the medium term of 3 years. Furthermore, PPAs of LGUs must be consistent with AMBISYON NATIN 2040 and have a resultsoriented emphasis on national development targets.22
As you can see, data gathering and validation must be scheduled and completed by Barangay LGUs from August to September upon assumption to office during the Situational Analysis and Problem Identification. However, IDMS can be adopted and undertaken by Barangay LGUs even after the first year of the barangay officials’ assumption to office by including the IDMS activities and corresponding budget in the formulation of the Annual Investment Program (AIP).
The Barangay Development Investment Program (BDIP) is the primary tool for putting the BDP into action. It is a document that translates the BDP into initiatives, projects, and events, as well as the corresponding resource specifications, all of which are expected to be completed within three (3) years. Gender and Development Plan (GAD Plan), Barangay Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Plan (BDRRMP), Barangay Peace and Order and Public Safety (BPOPS) Plan, Barangay Anti-Drug Abuse Council (BADAC) Plan of Action, Barangay Ecological Solid Waste Management Plan (BESWMP), and Comprehensive Barangay Youth Development Plan are examples of sectoral plans that should be included in the BDP. For many years, CDP has advocated for higher budgetary allocations for persons with disabilities at the local and barangay levels. As a result, local government units have increased support for investment in disability-inclusive disaster risk reduction activities. Now, CDP continues to advocate for the same with a strong emphasis on the collection and maintenance of database where activities and expected results to be included in plans and budget could be derived from. 22 Executive Order No. 27 s. 2017, Directing all government agencies and instrumentalities, including local government units, to implement the Philippine Development Plan and Public Investment Program for the period 2017-2022

Furthermore, sectoral groups, NGOs, CSOs, and POs need to identify the entry points in each step of the planning and budgeting process where they may assist the LGU, especially in mainstreaming issues and concerns of the vulnerable groups. If the Barangay Development Plans have already been prepared, an entry point for CSOs may be through the preparation of the sectoral/thematic plans and annual investment plan.
