NEDA launches website on good governance

The National Economic and Development Authority (NEDA) has launched a website on good governance that contains information about the country’s performance on governance in relation to various international indices.

The website, which can be accessed at http://governance. neda.gov.ph/, also contains brief analyses, links and resources to various governance indicators such as the Worldwide Governance Indicators, Open Government Partnership and Ease of Doing Business.

Other than governance, it also monitors the country’s administration of the justice sector vis-à-vis global indicators and indices.

“We are pleased to announce that the new good governance website is now online. This is to boost our efforts to monitor the status of the good gover- nance strategies identified in the Philippine Development Plan (PDP) 2017-2022 and its Results Matrix and the Public Investment Program,” said Socioeconomic Planning Secretary and NEDA chief Ernesto Pernia.

Prior to the development of the website, there has been no single website that provides comprehensive updates on the outcomes of projects and programs outlined in the PDP in the governance sector.

“The information about good governance strategies and how the Philippines is faring is now readily available to the public,” Pernia said.

An initiative of the NEDA Governance Staff, the website would serve as a repository of information on government initiatives in the governance and justice sectors.

Pernia said this would facilitate access to relevant and meaningful information for different stakeholders.
