Video- PDP MIDTERM UPDATE

The Philippine Development Plan 2011-2016 adopts a framework of inclusive growth, which means high and sustained growth that generates mass employment and reduces poverty. With good governance and anticorruption as the overarching theme of each and every intervention, the Plan identifies specific goals, objectives, strategies, programs and projects for the medium term.

The PDP Midterm Update realigns the government's strategies to craft and implement concrete solutions to the country's problems, and speed up the creation of high quality jobs, reduce poverty and achieve inclusive growth.It specifies indicators of efficiency and effectiveness to measure success, and is committed to quality-of-life targets such as creating the conditions for productive and remunerative work and improving overall well-being. Beyond income poverty, the Plan views poverty as deprivation in multiple dimensions, and thus approaches poverty reduction as also ensuring people's access to health, education, water, sanitation, and secure shelter, among others.

"To ensure inclusivity, the PDP Midterm Update identifies approaches that are more responsive to the needs of sectors and areas where many of the poor are found, so that they can be assured of access to development opportunities.

The Philippine Development Plan will serve as our guide in formulating policies and implementing development programs for the Plan period. It enables us to work systematically to give the Filipino people a better chance of finally finding their way out of poverty, inequality, and the poor state of human development."
