 Population Issues
Rapid population growth

Increasing urban population and density

Unplanned expansion of settlement areas Need to enhance and update LGU spatial plans

Need to address the gap between the provision of infrastructure and basic services and the demand of existing population

 Environmental Issues
Encroachment in critical ecosystems and degradation of critical habitats both inside and outside designated protected areas Disaster Risks and Hazards Land pollution and soil erosion Unregulated conversion of forest lands to other uses

 Transport & Infrastructure Issues

Issues and concerns hindering effective road service delivery Road safety issues No coordinated action plan to address growing urban congestion Inadequate Infrastructure-support facilities and services (such as Drainage and Sewerage Systems)

 Transport & Infrastructure Issues

Inadequate water distribution systems for domestic, industrial and agriculture use Need to address impact of human development activities on water quality in catchments and streams

 Economic Development Issues

Inadequacy of Employment Opportunities Low Level of Investments Uncompetitive Business Environment of LGUs Need to enhance tourism services, promote Bohols new attractions and strengthen institutional linkages Large area of idle lands in the province, unutilized or underutilized for agriculture

 Economic Development Issues

Threat of conversion of prime agricultural land to some other uses as a result of urbanization Inadequate support infrastructure, such as farm-tomarket roads, transportation and communication facilities

Need to establish irrigation and post-harvest facilities including appropriate storage facilities
Need to advocate for sustained adoption of sustainable agriculture

 Need to increase awareness of people on Climate Change and Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Poor revenue generation of Local Government Units

Peace and Order challenges, vis--vis:

Preventing the return of insurgency Curbing criminality in urbanizing areas

 Preparatory Activities
Familiarization with Joint Memorandum Circular 01-2007, as supported by the Local Governance Development Program Series of Technical Input Sessions from NEDA Region 7, as supported by ADB Constant reference to NEDA-ADB Provincial Local Planning and Expenditure Management (PLPEM) Guidelines)

 PDPFP Planning Process initiated by a Memo from Gov. Erico B. Aumentado designating PPDO as PDPFP Secretariat Followed by Issuance of Executive Order designating Members of the PDPFP Sectoral Technical Working Groups (STWGs)
Multi-stakeholder, multi-sectoral

 STWGs:
Social Development Economic Development Infrastructure Devt Environment Management Development Administration

 This resulted in some unexpected realizations: for example, that the medium-term planning methodology we used needed to be replaced by a spatial planning methodology.

 The PDPFP was thus approved via Joint SP, PDC and PPOC Resolution No. 1, series of 2010.

Because the PDPFP was crafted thru a participatory process, it was willingly adopted by the new administration and used as the basis for the ELA 2011-2013. In fact, Gov. Edgar Chatto and many of the current SP Members were participants in the PDPFP process.
