Technical Notes. The C/M will have to present prescribed or alternative/substitute forms
and documents to the CDP-TAC. The table below indicates the documents/forms that the
C/M should present. In cases wherein the required document/form has not been submitted,
the CDP-TAC may request the C/MLGUs to submit acceptable alternative documents.

The role of the DILG in the assessment of this Component is deemed critical given their
familiarity with the prescribed forms and documents for CDP formulation.

Forms and Documents Technical Notes

A. Forms
1. Harmonized Work Plan  Harmonized work plan (Form 1b) should include activities
for CDP and/or CLUP formulation, consisting of major
activities as follows:
- Team Mobilization
Reference: Form 1b - Data gathering / updating
- Conduct of Climate and Disaster Risk Assessment
(CDRA) or any similar process
- Comprehensive Land Use Planning
- Medium-Term Comprehensive Development Planning
- Finalization of Plans
- Plan Adoption and Approval

Please refer to the CDP Illustrative Guide (DILG, 2016)

for the prescribed sub-activities of the abovementioned
major activities.

 If the timing of the CLUP and CDP formulation does not

coincide, the C/MLGU may submit only the workplan for
the CDP formulation, reflecting the major activities for
CDP formulation including the conduct of a Climate and
Disaster Risk Assessment (or any similar process).

 However, if the CDRA has been undertaken prior to the

CDP formulation, the C/MLGU may show a copy of the
report on CDRA or any similar process.
2. Ecological  Check if C/M followed the EP outline prescribed in the
Profile DILG Guide to Ecological Profiling as contained in the
Reference: following link:
Form 1c http://www.dilg.gov.ph/PDF_File/reports_resources/DILG-
Reports- 2011718-491fe6b178.pdf. The EP (Form 1c)
should contain updated and relevant information/data on
the current reality of C/Ms across five (5) development
sectors – Social, Economic, Infrastructure, Environment,
and Institutional

 In the absence of a prescribed EP format, a Socio-

Economic Profile (SEP), Socio-Economic and Physical
Profile (SEPP) or special sectoral studies subsumed in the
CLUP may be considered.

 To confirm the conduct of CDRA or related tool, the C/M

can attach any of the following as annexes to the CDP:

- RHEV maps from CLUP and/or CDRA or related

assessments
- Climate change projections
- Historical records of past disasters
- Technical results from CLUP and/or CDRA or related
assessments
- Other technical data produced

 If the C/MLGUs have undertaken a GHG Inventory, the

CDP TAC must note this in the assessment in recognition
of proactiveness of the C/MLGU.

3. Local Development  Check for the accomplished LDI matrix (Form 1d) that
Indicator System (LDIS) should contain indicators for the five development sectors,
/ Rationalized Planning broken down into barangays, districts or any appropriate
Indicator Data Sets geographic scope within the C/MLGU jurisdiction. If the
(RaPIDS) data to be used is not based on a historical trend, the data
must not be older than 10 years prior to year 1 of CDP
Reference: Form 1d scope (e.g., if CDP covers 2020, the data to be used
should be at least dated 2010. The more updated data the
better).

 Narrative analysis on the three (3) dimensions (sectoral,

spatial, and temporal) subsumed in the SEP, SEPP, or EP
may be considered in lieu of the LDIS matrix.

 Check presence of DRR-CCA indicators for each

development sector

4. Structured List of  Structured list of PPAs (Form 2a) should contain the long
PPAs per Sector list of PPAs per five (5) development sectors. This list will
be the main source of PPAs that will later be prioritized for
Reference: Form 2a implementation (LDIP Stream 1).

 Check if PPAs reflect DRR and climate change adaptation

and mitigation (CCAM) intended to reduce the risks and
vulnerabilities of the sectors.

 If the C/MLGU has undertaken a GHG Inventory and used

the same to identify corresponding climate change
mitigation actions, the CDP TAC must note this in the
assessment in recognition of proactiveness of the
C/MLGU.

 In lieu of Form 2a, any document reflecting the identified

PPAs may be accepted.

5. Project Brief for Check if:

Each PPA Reference:  Each project in the Structured List of PPAs (Form 2a) has

for PPAs to be funded by 5% LDRRMP will be required,
especially as they will also be subsequently tagged in the
LDIP and AIP.

 Note: Project briefs are important in as much as this will be

the basis of the C/MDC during the prioritization of PPAs

6. Ranked List of PPAs  Check for accomplished Form 3a that should contain
for Investment prioritized PPAs which resulted from a prioritization
Programming exercise (e.g., Urgency test matrix, Resource-Impact
Matrix, Conflict-Compatibility-Complementarity Matrix,
Reference: Form 3a Goal Achievement Matrix, among others).

 For C/M that used the Urgency Test, they may indicate
how many projects were ranked Urgent due to DRR and
CCA considerations.

 For each development sector, there should be a ranked list

of PPAs.

 In the absence of Form 2a, the following may be

considered:
- LDIP Summary Form (Form 3e) as long as the sectoral
PPAs are ranked
- Workshop outputs of prioritization exercises

 Documentation of the process or workshop outputs of

prioritization exercise need to be presented to the CDP-

Quality Technical Notes

A. Quality of Vision and Ecological Profile

Vision
Check if:
 Vision statement has both:
- Outward looking perspective - contributes to the
development of the nation, region, and province
- Inward looking perspective – contributes to the desired
state of the city/municipality
 Vision has descriptors that would address goals and
objectives of the (5) development sectors
 Each descriptor has corresponding success indicator(s)
that should be able to define the desired end-state
scenarios for the development of each sector. The vision
statement contains element descriptor(s) and success
indicator(s) that promote the overall welfare of the
population and builds the capacities of the five sectors.
 The vision is risk informed if the element descriptors and
success indicators consider the result of the CDRA. The

It is suggested that LGUs refer to and utilize the Climate and Disaster Risk Assessment (CDRA) as provided in
the Supplemental Guidelines on Mainstreaming Climate and Disaster Risks in the CLUP developed by the
Department of Housing and Sustainable Urban Development. If the LGU cannot, at the time of CDP formulation,
undertake CDRA, the said LGU may utilize other similar technical tools. However, it must be ensured that, at the
minimum, the tool should refer to the official maps and information produced by mandated agencies, including
the projections made by PAGASA.

Important Note:

For known hazards and risks, the provinces and their

component C/MLGUs which share them, are encouraged to
coordinate or collaborate with one another, or they may
organize themselves for CCA and DRR. Existing alliances
between and among the LGUs may also serve as a
springboard for the adoption of an ecosystem-based
approach.

 Check if PPAs would:

- Benefit any of the identified vulnerable groups (e.g.,
elderly, women, ISF, PWDs, farmers and fishers, etc.)
- Rehabilitate, upgrade, retrofit existing physical
infrastructure/critical facilities
- Rehabilitate the environment
- Improve the delivery of basic services, such as health,
water, nutrition, social welfare, and education
- Directly target DRR and CCA issues, that correspond
to the levels of identified risks and vulnerabilities.

 To check the above PPAs, the CDP TAC can look at

either the PSFM which establish the linkage between
the problem and the proposed solution or at the Project
Briefs which contain the risk-informed data in the PPA
description.
