As President Rodrigo Duterte’s third State of the Nation Address (SONA) draws near, the University of the Philippines-National College of Public Administration and Governance (UP-NCPAG) will be holding two events, which focus on assessments of the previous and the current administrations.
The Center for Policy and Executive Development (CPED) of UP-NCPAG will hold a forum to assess the Duterte Administration’s accomplishments with regard to its Zero + 10-Point Socio-Economic Agenda and publish the proceedings in a book form. This will be held on 19-20 July 2018 at the NCPAG Assembly Hall.
Faculty members of NCPAG will be presenting their assessments based on the current administration’s Zero Plus 10-Point Socio-Economic Agenda. The presentation will be made based on several clusters such as Economic Development, Social Development, and Political Development.
On 19 July 208, there will also be a book launch for The Performance of the Aquino Administration (2010-2016): An Assessment. The book contains assessments of the five clusters of the said administration (Good Governance and Anti-Corruption, Human Development and Poverty Reduction, Economic Development, Security, Justice and Peace, and Climate Change Adaptation and Mitigation) as well as a chapter on Summary and Ways Forward. This is authored by members of the faculty and NCPAG researchers.
