OPIF Reference Guide
Message
I am pleased to share this OPIF Reference Guide to our partners in government, in Congress, and the public. The Guide is the latest addition to DBM’s tools for helping its partners better understand the budget and use it to make government accountable for results. When we talk of accountability for results, we mean the performance of government agencies in using public funds to fulfill the Philippine Development Plan—and the agencies’ impact therein—through the execution of programs and projects under the National Budget. Accountability for results goes beyond reporting how and where the agency budget was spent; it focuses on how public spending improved the ways through which an agency delivered key services to the public. These are the questions that sum up what results are about, and what the OPIF Reference Guide seeks to answer: did the National Government—and the public it represents—get the best value for the money entrusted to an agency for delivering goods or services? Did the agency spend its funds according to its priorities and provide services at the right time? Did the agency’s expenditure performance in service delivery contribute
