Recommendations for improvement of the plan

Those are only some of the parameters that are included in the Quality Assessment Tool (QAT) to evaluate the quality of BDRRMPs (You may refer to the full texts included in the tool from the IDMS Resource Materials). LGUs are encouraged to peruse the whole document and examine all the key elements and the criteria that go with them.

List down all the key elements where your current BDRRMP scored poorly and take note of any recommendations that will help improve the BDRRMP. Use the template included in the QAT (as shown below).

Programs, Projects, and Activities (PPAs) per thematic area

The main aim of IDMS is to promote the inclusion of persons with disabilities in planning, budgeting, and other development processes of local government and agencies particularly in DRRM. The collected and recorded information on disability and disaster risk reduction and management must be highlighted in the PPAs of not only the local DRRM plans, but in other local development plans as well, given the modest 5% budget allocation for local DRRM fund. Integration of the BDRRMP in the approved barangay development plan and annual investment plan allows the barangay in identifying other possible sources of funds to cater to the specific needs and concerns of the sector, thereby reinforcing the community’s preparedness and response capacities. Samples of PPAs per thematic area can be found on pp. 75-82.
