Performance Audit of Preparedness for Implementation of Sustainable Development Goals - Philippines

Report ID: 436

The audit covers the review of initiatives for the preparation of the Philippine Government to implement the 2030 Agenda and the SDGs from October 2015 to March 2018. A system-oriented approach or the examination of the proper functioning of management systems is adopted in combination with the result-oriented approach or assessment whether outcome or output objectives have been achieved as intended or programs and services are operating as intended. As SDGs are integrated and indivisible, their implementation requires a whole of government (WoG) approach. The WoG approach is characterized by outcomes-focused, boundary spanning, enabling and strengthening prevention. It seeks to enable government’s departments and agencies to achieve outcomes that cannot be achieved by working in isolation and to optimize these outcomes by using all the resources at the disposal of the government. Policy implementation goes beyond the remit of a single department or agency, thus, interventions cross agency lines to secure outcome from programs. Its approach to policy is seen as enabling government to address complex policy challenges, use knowledge and expertise within and outside government more effectively, and integrate levels of government in support of more efficient and effective service delivery.
