SUBJECT : TERMINAL REPORT ON THE BENCHMARKING TO THE

GAD LOCAL LEARNING HUB OF QUEZON PROVINCE CUM SEMINAR ON
GENDER AND DEVELOPMENT FOR GAD FOCAL POINT SYSTEM(GFPS), GAD-
TWG and GAD-Secretariat ON SEPTEMBER 25-27, 2023 AT LUCENA CITY,
QUEZON PROVINCE

DATE : October 2, 2023

RATIONALE

The creation of a Focal Point or other institutional mechanisms for women’s concerns was
first introduced in the Philippines with the adoption of the Philippine Development Plan for
Women (PDPW) 1989–1992 through Executive Order No. 348 and the issuance of the
National Commission on the Role of Filipino Women’s Memorandum Order No. 89–1 as the
implementing guidelines for the PDPW. The said memorandum order provided the structure
and functions of the Women in Development (WID) Focal Point in all government
institutions.

In 1995, the government adopted the Philippine Plan for Gender-Responsive Development
(PPGD) 1995–2025 as a vehicle for implementing the Beijing Declaration and the Platform
for Action to pursue gender mainstreaming and prioritize government action in 12 critical
areas of concern and different sectors of development. In view of the PPGD’s long-term goal
of fully integrating gender and development (GAD) concerns in the whole development
process, the mainstreaming of the GAD perspective was entrusted to the heads of the
agencies, supported by their respective WID/GAD Focal Points to ensure institutionalization.

In 2010, Republic Act No. 9710— or the Magna Carta of Women (MCW)— was signed into
law, signifying the government’s commitment to protect and promote women’s human rights,
particularly the rights and empowerment of women in marginalized sectors and in the
process, to achieve gender equality. Chapter VI, Section 36 the MCW stipulates that all
government instrumentalities and local government units shall adopt gender mainstreaming

as a strategy to promote women’s human rights and eliminate gender discrimination in their
systems, structures, policies, programs, processes, and procedures. The MCW further
mandates the establishment and/or strengthening of a GAD Focal Point System (GFPS) as an
institutional mechanism to catalyze and accelerate gender mainstreaming.
It is in this view that LGUs need to contribute to gender-responsive local governance by
ensuring to have the working mechanisms, such as the GFPS, to mainstream GAD in their
local policymaking, planning, programming, budgeting, implementation, and monitoring and
evaluation processes.

METHODOLOGY
The methodology consists of activities that will surface the GFPS strengths, weaknesses, and
underlying gap.
