BARANGAY PLANNING PROCESS
PREPARATORY PLAN FORMULATION PHASE

MODULE 1

INSTITUTIONALIZATION
BARANGAY
the basic political unit mandated under Section 384 of
Local Government Code of 1991 or RA 7160
as the primary planning and implementing unit of
government policies, plans, programs, projects
and activities in the community and as a form
wherein the collective views of the people may be
expressed, crystallized and considered..
With this, the barangay shall adopt a participatory
development planning process in the formulation of
its Barangay Development Plan (BDP)

If all barangays become progressive,
automatically all LGUs will be progressive
Strong, Autonomous, and Self-sufficient Barangay
- form a strong, autonomous, and self-sufficient local government peopled with
active citizens who are partners in the achievement of national goals
Devolution, Deconcentration and Debureaucratization
Devolution
- the transfers of some powers, responsibilities, functions, and resources from
the national government to the local government units province, municipal
and most importantly, the barangays
Deconcentration
- the administrative transfer of power, responsibilities, functions, and resources
from the national agencies to the local government units. The management of
offices formerly directly under the national administration was entrusted to the
local chief executives of the local government then down to the punong
barangay
Debureaucratization
- the process of removing the monopoly of a few bureaucrat-politicians in the
government. This is done by making room for the participation of citizen
organizations in the country governance
Localization of the development planning processes at
the barangay level
Improvement of delivery of services
help government and non-government agencies identify more appropriate
projects that would respond to the actual needs of the target groups

Self-Reliance and Independence
encourages the Barangay LGUs design and fund their own poverty
projects and look for other resources to finance their projects

Wider Participation in Local Governance
increased participation of local communities in the actual implementation
of development projects
larger representation from various sectors that will ensure wider impact.
encourages mobilization of local resources that will increase barangay
revenues
Planning
an organized, deliberate and sustained effort to choose the best way to
obtain a desired end. It is a systematic process of analysis and
choosing among many possible alternatives, activities, or actions that
would address identified needs and problems to attain development
goals
Barangay Development Planning

the most relevant and practical means of people empowerment

It is a people-based approach to bring about meaningful growth in the
improvement of peoples quality of life toward a truly democratic and
people-centered governance

lay-outs the causal inter-relationships of the key concerns and challenges
for community development, the vision-mission-goals-
objectives/targets-strategies
Guiding Principles

1. Genuine Social Participation - All sectors in the priority-covered
barangays will be encouraged to participate in the planning processes

2. Empowerment - Strengthening the decision-making mechanisms and
strategies starting at the sitio/purok level (rural folks to participate in
decision-making aimed at rationalizing investments )

3. Transparency - the setting of the final prioritization processes should be
open and generally acceptable to all concerned to secure broad ownership
of the priority list

4. Accountability - The selection process will be anchored on the desired
results and will not be viewed as an opportunity per se to lobby for
development assistance. Various sectors within the barangay will be an
active partner in implementing the strategies to eventually attain their goals
together.
