Monitoring Public Investments thru MTPDP/MTPIP : 

Monitoring Public Investments thru MTPDP/MTPIP Public investments on water resource development are planned and monitored using MTPDP and MTPIP. MTPIP and Strategy Planning Matrices (SPM) are updated annually in line with the preparation of annual National Budget. Implementation and results of public investment in WRD are evaluated against SPM and MTPIP. Results are reported in the Annual Socio-Economic Report (SER)

NWRB’s Role . . . : 

NWRB’s Role . . . Recommends to NEDA in the formulation of MTPDP and MTPIP for the water sector. Coordinates all water-related projects and programs of other government agencies. Maintains baseline information of water-related programs and projects of other agencies.

Monitoring Private Sector Investments (Water Supply): 

Monitoring Private Sector Investments (Water Supply) NWRB-regulated water utilities submit business plans, capex programs and annual report of operations. MWSS concessionaires and WDs submit similar plans and reports to MWSS-RO and LWUA. No plans and reports from unregulated / self-regulated water utilities.

Monitoring Results in Water Supply: 

Monitoring Results in Water Supply National Anti-Poverty Commission monitors accomplishments in terms of meeting the President’s Ten Point Agenda (i.e., expanding coverage of potable water to waterless barangays)

Other Mechanisms in NWRB for Monitoring Investments: 

Other Mechanisms in NWRB for Monitoring Investments Government and non-government users are required to secure water rights for all water-related activities, regardless of use or purpose. For major water development projects, technical feasibility studies are required and submitted to the NWRB as a condition to grant of water rights. The NWRB maintains a data base of approved water appropriation categorized into use or purpose.

Monitoring Investments in other Sub-Sectors: 

Reports on public and private investments may also be available in other water-related agencies having oversight of other sub-sectors. Monitoring Investments in other Sub-Sectors Irrigation - National irrigation Administration Flood Control - Department of Public Works and Highways Watershed/Coastal Mgt - Department of Environment and Natural Resources Others sub-sectors - Other agencies

Constraints and Challenges: 

Constraints and Challenges MTPDP/MTPIP and annual budgeting provide a mechanism for monitoring public investments in WRD, but there is a gap for projects undertaken by GOCCs and LGUs using internally generated funds. Economic regulation may provide a mechanism for monitoring of private investments in WRD, but is present only in water supply sector.

Constraints and Challenges: 

Constraints and Challenges Monitoring of investments in other sub-sectors is scattered across different water-related agencies with oversight over sub-sectors. Legal framework may exist, but there is a need to: strengthen NWRB as the apex body; and improve institutional arrangements between NWRB and other water-related agencies
