JOINT MEMORANDUM CIRCULAR NO. 1
SERIES OF 2023

Monitoring and Evaluation of, Accountability for, and Learning from (“MEAL”)
the Implementation of Section 36 of the General Provisions under Fiscal Year
2023 General Appropriations Act (GP 36 under FY 2023 GAA) or Equivalent
Provision in the Years Thereafter Entitled “Programs and Projects Related to
Senior Citizens and Persons with Disabilities”

I RATIONALE

Twenty years ago, Department of Budget and Management (DBM) – Department of
Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) Joint Circular No. 2003-01 was issued to provide the guidelines for the implementation of the General Appropriations Act (“GAA”)of 2003, to ensure that all agencies of government set aside at least one percent (1%) oftheir total budget to programs, projects, activities, and/or services for older persons and persons with disabilities.

In 2013 up to present, provision in the GAA which mandates that at least 1% of the total budget of all agencies should be set aside for programs, projects, activities, and/or services for older persons and persons with disabilities was replaced to a provision which does not provide for a minimum percentage allocated for programs, projects,activities, and/or services for older persons and persons with disabilities. In the Calendar Year 2023 GAA, for instance, Section 36 provides that “ All agencies of the government
shall formulate plans, programs, and projects intended to address the concerns of Senior Citizens and Persons with disability, in so far, as it relates to their mandated functions and integrate the same in their regular activities”

In an effort of both the DBM and DSWD to monitor the compliance of various
government agencies in the above mentioned GAA provision, it is still imperative to conduct a joint monitoring and evaluation in coordination with the National Commission on Senior Citizens (NCSC) and National Council on Disability Affairs (NCDA) as the policy making agencies both for senior citizens and persons with disability sectors, respectively.

This Joint Memorandum Circular (JMC) will set guidelines and/ provide institutional arrangements in the monitoring and evaluation of GP 36 under FY 2023 GAA or equivalent provision in the years thereafter. As such, the result will be used as the basis for future policy development.
