Importance of the Preparation and Rationalization of

BDP
 Ensures that its contents directly address the
needs of the community and the residents of
the barangay
Primary Purpose of Brgy. Dev. Planning
 to protect public interest and that of every
individual who has a stake in the planning
process
Planning is a key element in governance that is
expected to answer the following key
questions:
 WHY is there a need for the local government to
plan?
 WHO are involved in planning?

 HOW is the plan accomplished

 WHAT are the activities that will ensure the

implementation of the prepared plan?
The current planning system attempts to avoid
having different plans. This is through the
encouragement of sectoral groups and CSOs to
participate in the planning process.
