BP 600: ANNUAL GAD PLAN AND BUDGET
Instructions
This form presents the agency GAD plan and budget for FY 2013.
Column (1)

Program/Activity/Project
The objective for reviewing the agency mandate and existing P/A/P (s) is to
surface the gender issues that the agency should address. Agency P/A/P(s)
to be reviewed must be major, centerpiece programs.
The Gender Equality and Women’s Empowerment Framework shall be the
guiding framework in reviewing the agency’s existing P/A/P (s). Sexdisaggregated data must also be used when analyzing the agency’s existing
P/A/P (s). The Framework Plan for Women, the Philippine Plan for Genderresponsive Development and the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms
of Discrimination Against Women may serve as references for identifying the
gender issues that the agency must address. Consultations with genderaware women and the agencies’ clientele should likewise be undertaken to
validate and further define the gender issues articulated in the abovementioned documents.
Agencies without sex-disaggregated data must identify the disaggregation of
data by which sex as a GAD activity to be prioritized for implementation so as
to avoid reporting the same problem in the following years.

Column (2)

Gender Issue/Concern
The objective of this action then is to prioritize the gender issues that the
agency will commit to address within the year.
A gender issue can be classified as client-focused or organization-focused. A
client-focused gender issue articulates the extent of disparity of women and
men over benefits from and contribution to a program and/or project of the
agency. On the other hand, an organization-focused issue points to the gap in
the capacity of the organization to integrate a gender dimension in the
activities of its programs and projects.
The GAD Focal Point, however, must ensure that gender issues that have not
been prioritized shall be addressed by the agency in the next planning year.

Column (3)

GAD Objective
The objective at this point is to clarify and spell-out what the agency intends
to accomplish vis-à-vis each gender issue that the agency commits to
address.
The GAD objective must describe the intended outcome rather than
merely state the intended activities of the agency. It must be specific,
measurable, attainable, realistic and time-bound.
Identifying intended outcomes will help the agency identify appropriate GAD
activities; keep its direction and ensure proper focus during implementation;
and assess its accomplishments and gains vis-à-vis the gender issues
identified.

Column (4)

Identified GAD Activity
The objective of this action is to identify corresponding interventions for each
gender issue that the agency commits to address.
Said interventions may take the form of the agencies existing P/A/P (s) but
enhanced with the GAD perspective OR it may take the form of a
reformulated P/A/P. The activities that will make the agency or the existing
P/A/P (s) of the agency address the gender issues of its clients or
organizations are called GAD activities. The GAD activities can either be
client-focused or organization-focused.
Client-focused GAD activities are activities that seek to address the gender
issues of the agency’s clients. For oversight agencies whose clients are
government organizations, client-focused GAD activities may include the
review and integration of GAD in policies, database systems, monitoring and
evaluation, or integration of GAD in training modules of government
employees.
Organization-focused activities are activities that seek to: a) create the
organizational environment for implementing gender-responsive policies,
programs and projects; and b) address the gender issues of employees
particularly those that affect women’s performance as government workers
like sexual harassment, low participation of women in human resource
development undertakings and decision-making structures and processes,
and lack of support to ease women’s multiple burden such as daycare in the
workplace.
Agencies shall give premium to client-focused GAD activities than the
organization-focused GAD activities.

Column (5)

Target
The objective of this action is to identify the quantitative and qualitative
results that the agency is aiming for which will be the bases for monitoring
and evaluating the agency’s accomplishment and achievements on GAD.
Results refer to the change that has occurred after implementing the activity.
The two types of results are the immediate results of the activity (output)
and the more distant change (outcome) that are anticipated or actually have
occurred as a result of a series of related activities and achieving a
combination of outputs.

Column (6)

Performance Indicator
The objective of this action is to identify the quantitative and qualitative
measures of progress vis-à-vis the achievement of the targets set by the
agency.
Quantitative indicators are measures or evidences that can be counted while
qualitative indicators are measures or evidences that provide meaning and
understanding of the clients’ experiences.

Column (7)

GAD Budget
The objective of this action is to determine the amount to be allocated by the
agency for the implementation of its GAD activities contained in the fourth
column.
