For three years now, the Regional Development Plan 2017-2022 has served as the roadmap for the socio-economic development of Western Visayas. It contains strategies that will contribute to the attainment of both the Philippine Development Plan core targets and the region-specific targets. With the midterm updating of RDP this 2019, new strategies have been developed to address the lingering challenges that continue to hamper the achievement of our desired goals.
With the publication of the Regional Development Report (RDR) 2019, the performance of the region in the annual implementation of the RDP can be evaluated. The document assesses the strategies, programs, and projects implemented in the pursuit of the targets in the Plan to determine the trajectory of the region.
