NEDA launches monitoring dashboard for key infra projects

The National Economic and Development Authority (NEDA) on Wednesday launched the Infrastructure Flagship Projects (IFPs) Dashboard.

At a press briefing, NEDA Secretary Arsenio Balisacan said the dashboard is expected “to play a significant role in enhancing public-sector transparency as we monitor the progress and status of our major infrastructure projects.”

“The platform also serves to promote accountability among implementing agencies, given that agencies are directed to regularly update NEDA on the progress of their IFPs on a quarterly basis,” the NEDA chief said.

The dashboard, which can be accessed through this link https://neda.gov.ph/infrastructure-flagship-projects/ is an interactive tool that provides an overview of the 194 IFPs —highlighting their status, cost requirements, distribution by sector, mode of financing, and regional location.

The dashboard provides the status of the 194 IFPs as of the first quarter of 2023.

Data collection for the second quarter of the 2023 monitoring report, however, is already underway and will be presented to the Committee on Infrastructure (INFRACOM) and NEDA Board starting mid-August. 

“NEDA is committed to efficiently govern the implementation of the government’s IFPs. We will ensure the quality and timely execution of these projects as they are critical in facilitating the transformation of the Philippine economic landscape over the next six years,” Balisacan said.—LDF, GMA Integrated News
