NEDA XII CITIZEN’S CHARTER

National Economic and Development Authority Regional Office XII, Koronadal City

FOREWORD The Philippine Public Administration is greatly challenged by the recent and uninvited spread of the Corona Virus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) worldwide.

Given the state of national emergency due to the COVID-19 pandemic, our government’s vision for effective and efficient delivery of services, while earnestly promoting transparency and accountability, remains unshaken. It is for this same reason that NEDA XII updated its Citizen’s Charter to ensure that the agency’s frontline services are efficiently cascaded to its regional stakeholders amid a new normal environment.

Guided by the provisions of Republic Act No. 11032, otherwise known as the “Ease of Doing Business and Efficient Government Services Delivery Act of 2018”, NEDA XII commits to strengthen its policies toward prevention of graft and corruption, and advocate simplified procedures to reduce red tape and enable a more vibrant business environment in the region.

Through this updated Citizen’s Charter, we dedicate to continually adhere to our mission and values to fulfill our commitments to regional stakeholders, and to the Nation.

Mabuhay, SOCCSKSARGEN Region! Mabuhay, Pilipinas!

TERESITA SOCORRO C. RAMOS Regional Director 25 July 2020 NEDA XII CITIZEN’S CHARTER

NEDA XII CITIZEN’S CHARTER

Structure and Location Structure The NEDA Regional Office (NRO) XII was first established in Cotabato City pursuant to Presidential Decree No. 742 dated 1 August 1975, restructuring the regional groupings of the provinces in Mindanao, Basilan, Sulu, and Tawi-Tawi.

On 25 October 1975, NRO XII became operational with the following divisions to facilitate its operations, namely: Plan Formulation Division, Program Coordination Division, and Administrative Division.

The passage of Executive Order (EO) No. 320 dated 22 July 1987, “Reorganizing the NEDA,” restructured the NEDA Regional Office divisions into MacroIntersectoral Coordination and Assistance Division (MICAD), Economic Development Division (EDD), Social Development Division (SDD), Infrastructure Development Division (IDD), and Operations Division (OD).

With the adoption of the functional structure proposed under the NEDA Rationalization Plan per EO No. 366 dated 17 June 2013, the divisions were again restructured into the Policy Formulation and Planning Division (PFPD), Project Development, Investment Programming and Budget Division (PDIPBD), Development Research Division (DRD), Project Monitoring and Evaluation Division (PMED), and the Finance and Administrative Division (FAD).

Physical Location The NEDA Regional Office XII is presently located at the Prime Regional Government Center (PRGC), Barangay Carpenter Hill, Koronadal City, South Cotabato. The three-floor NRO XII building has a total area of 1,824 square meters and is located in a 2,168 sq. m. lot donated by the City Government of Koronadal.
