Ninety-seven percent of the approved 2016 clim ate budget is directly supporting
clim ate activities as Operations (79%), and Projects (18%). Operations include PAPs
supporting NGAs’ major final outputs (MFOs)2, whereas Projects are either locally- or foreign-funded
to support the attainment of the institutional mandates of NGAs. Meanwhile, the remaining 3% is for
the provision of staff, technical, and/or substantial support to agency programs (Support to
Operations), and expenditures that deal with the provision of overall administration and management
(General Administration and Support).
The approved clim ate budget for Operations increased by 26% from 2015, with clim ate
expenditure concentrated in 11 of the 233 program s accounting for 71% of the
approved clim ate budget. Foreign-assisted projects responsive to climate change have allocated
12% more compared to the previous year, wherein almost half (43%) are focused on agriculture. The
biggest increase (112%) can be observed in locally-funded projects, with about 60% from DPWH’s
flood control and drainage projects and water management projects, 14% from DA’s locally-funded
farm-to-market roads, and 11% from DOTC’s Light Rail Transit extension project (LRT-2).

A
major
final
output
(MFO)
is
a
good
or
service
that
an
NGA
is
mandated
to
deliver
to
external
clients
through
implementation
of
PAPs.
An
MFO
can
be
defined
relative
to:
(i)
the
outcomes
that
it
contributes
to,
(ii)
the
client
or
community
group
that
it
serves,
and/or
(iii)
the
business
lines
of
the
department/agency.
An
MFO
may
be
a
single
output
or
a
group
of
outputs
that
are
similar
in
nature,
targeted
at
the
same
organization/sector
outcome,
and
capable
of
being
summarized
by
a
common
performance
indicator
(e.g.
different
types
of
policy/advisory
are
grouped
into
a
single
MFO
on
policy
and
advisory
services).
