Bilateral programme (DCI)
Under the DCI, the EC has developed a
Strategy Paper (SP) for the Philippines,
covering the period 2007-2013 with an overall allocation
of €130 million.
The Strategy Paper adheres to the fundamental DCI
objective of eradicating poverty. It supports the
Medium-Term Philippines Development Plan (MTPDP) to
achieve the MDGs. It contains one focal sector, health,
supported by a number of non-focal sectors and
programmes; support to good local governance,
trade-related technical assistance and a special
programme for Mindanao focusing on rehabilitation and
community development.
The period covered by the SP is divided
into two Multi-annual Indicative Programmes (2007-2010
and 2011-2013), which are agreements formally signed
with the Government of the Philippines, setting out the
agreed programme for the period in question.
The
MIP 2007-2010 represents 46% of the total
envelope for the Philippines. The MIP 2011-2013 will represent 54% of the
total envelope for the Philippines (approximately € 69
million).
The MIP reflects the priorities identified in the CSP.
As such, most resources go to the
Health Sector
Policy Support Programme. Other programmes funded
under the current MIP include the
Mindanao Trust Fund, the
Trade-Related
Technical Assistance 2 (TRTA2), and the
Strategic
Projects Facility (SPF2).
In 2009 there will be a review of the
2007-2010 MIP, which will help design the 2011-2013 MIP.
This may involve an adjustment of the overall SP.

Aid
delivery methods
For its bilateral programme, the EC uses a mix of aid
modalities. However, in line with recommendations of the
Paris Agenda concerning ownership by the recipient
country, alignment with government systems and
harmonization of activities and strategies in and
between government and the development partners'
community, the bulk of the bilateral programme funds are
delivered through
Sector-Wide Approach programmes (SWAp).
In a SWAp, development partners support government's
policy and strategy in one sector, and agree on a common
framework for implementing activities, monitoring
progress, and improving public financial management.
Release of funds is conditional to attaining specific
targets.
The EC continues to implement some actions through the
traditional
project approach, in which an action is implemented
as a series of activities aimed at accomplishing a
specific objective, within a defined time-frame and
budget.
Acknowledging that the fight against poverty requires a
multi-sectoral approach, the EC also gives
grants for actions which are designed an implemented
by NGOs, CSOs, local governments, etc. Grants are
usually awarded following a call for proposals, which
are published on the
Europe Aid website, and on the
home
page of the Delegation's website. |
