Capacity Building on the GAD Plan and Budget Monitoring System (GPBMS)
September 29 to October 2, 2025 | Brentwood Suites, 6 Doctor Garcia St, cor. Quezon Ave., Quezon City.
The Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG) is committed to strengthening gender-responsive governance and ensuring the effective localization of the Magna Carta of Women (MCW).
Towards this end, "A.G.I.L.E. for GAD: Advancing Gender-Inclusive Local Empowerment," is designed to comprehensively equip Regional DILG personnel with the adequate competencies and awareness necessary to oversee and facilitate enhanced gender and development initiatives at the local level. The capacity development activity integrates critical topics that shape the GAD landscape, particularly on mechanisms to empower LGUs in advancing gender-inclusive local governance, as well as guidance on impending updates and innovations that advance LGU GAD Planning and Budgeting for the years to come.

Being AGILE when it comes to GAD, the training came up with a diverse pool of participants:
Based on the registration data, the DILG RO participants who registered to the A.G.I.L.E. for GAD CapDev activity yielded a total of 35 registered participants, disaggregated by Sex (Not Gender):
Male: 16
Female: 19
Analysis of registration data show that there is a slightly higher number of registered female participants (55.26%) compared to male participants (44.74%). This disaggregation is vital for assessing diversity and ensuring equitable representation during the activity.
Visual representation of the SDD is provided through the corresponding chart.
A.G.I.L.E. for GAD: TNA Data Analysis
The pre-training confidence survey or Training Needs Assessment (TNA) (collected alongside the registration) shows a critical need for targeted intervention during this CapDev activity:
Analysis of the 35 participant responses reveals that confidence is lowest in the ability to edit GAD Plans and Accomplishment Reports, scoring an average of only 2.74 out of 5. This crucial reporting function, along with generating reports (Avg. 2.77), demands the most intensive, hands-on focus during the training sessions.
Conversely, participants demonstrated the highest confidence in the basic access function, "I know how to log in and access the system without assistance" (Avg. 3.46). This strength allows the training design to minimize time spent on system basics and maximize time dedicated to resolving the critical skill gaps in planning and reporting.
