House Bill No, 961

Introduced by Representatives Ron P. Salo

. EXPLANATORY NOTE

In any organization or institution, performance monitoring, evaluation,
information and reporting are essential components of an effective and efficient
Performance management system. In the government, performance monitoring and
reporting vary across departments, offices and agencies with oversight functions that
monitor, evaluate and report performance of government agencies and
instrumentalities

However, many deficiencies and duplication have been noted in the
performance monitoring systems and processes used by government agencies that
have resulted in redundant data, reports in different formats, delay in submissions,
inaccurate results, and inefficiencies in performance monitoring, evaluation, and
reporting,

Thus, there is a need to rationalize, harmonize, streamline, simplify, integrate
and unify the efforts of government agencies mandated to exercise broad oversight of
government agencies’ performance, agency mandates, commitments and targets.

This bill mandates that a collaborative mechanism must be developed among
these oversight agencies that will establish a unified and integrated Results-Based
Performance Management System (RBPMS) across all departments and agencies
across the Government; incorporating a common set of performance scorecards, and
at the same time, creating an accurate, accessible, and up-to-date government-wide,
sectoral, and organizational performance information system.

The immediate passage of this Bill is earnestly sought.
