Peace and development plans
Planning workshops for newly appointed local officials, as a first step toward a development plan for their area.
Development planning
Help for an office with the plans that guide its programmes and the development of its people.
Coordinating and monitoring the human capital development plans of BARMM agencies is one of DAB's strategic goals. Under the Bangsamoro Administrative Code, DAB also adopts the policies and guidelines for the capacity-development programmes of all Bangsamoro Government agencies, so that those programmes are aligned to the regional plans.
What the Help Covers
The kinds of planning help DAB has given.
Learning and development plans
An office's plan for training its people, built on an assessment of its needs.
Human resource development plans
A strategic plan for an office's people, built on a competency framework.
Competency frameworks
The competencies government personnel need, which then guide their training and capacity development.
Learning needs assessment
Surveys and focus group discussions that find what officials and employees need to learn.
Planning templates
Standard templates for planning procedures, so development plans hold together across levels of governance in the BARMM.
