Administrative and Finance Division

- Facilitation and Activity Support

The GAD Office Administrative and Finance Division facilitates the endorsement of activities as it receives correspondences and requests from other local offices or external entities. In its Secretariat function, it responds by supplying needed resources like GAD trainers or speakers and training aids, and even sets up meetings and mandated caucuses, especially among the local GFPS. It also provides logistical support, such as venue reservations, transportation, and vehicle support, with documentation and reporting of related GAD data.

The process starts with the receipt and acknowledgment of a request, where the Secretary receives and enters documents coming in. The request is thereafter evaluated by the Division Chief, who determines its authenticity and advises actions to be taken.

Upon assessment, the Office Head re-examines the request and either grants or denies it. Requests approved are then directed for implementation, with coordination of concerned personnel, such as speakers, drivers, and other staff members charged with carrying out the assistance. During this process, the Division Chief tracks progress and makes updates on the status of the assistance rendered.

Learning and Development Division

- Trainings and Speakerships on GAD-related Topics and Laws

- Technical Assistance on the preparation of the annual GAD Plan and Budget (GBP)

Specializing in trainings and speakerships pertaining to GAD concepts and issues both simple and complex, the GAD L&D division handles services revolving around learning and development activities and awareness-raising exercises within the City Government of Pasig. It manages the planning, designing, and implementing of training programs according to the approved city GAD policy and goals, as established under the Pasig City 2020 Revised GAD Code and the created Pasig City GAD Agenda.

The aim is to ensure that training interventions tackle identified needs satisfactorily and enhance the gender equality awareness of various government offices, barangays, and stakeholders.

Training needs assessment forms are the beginning of a process that involves data gathering and analysis of sex-disaggregated data, survey, focus group discussion, and consultation sessions. The activity design, or the training blueprint, comes next based on such assessment, involving pre- and post-test tests to establish effectiveness. The finished training plan is then submitted to the GAD Administrative and Finance Division for approval of procurement and logistics support requirements.

The subsequent actual conduct of the training consists of facilitator coordination, material preparation, and participant participation. Post-activity reports, terminal reports, and evaluation are accomplished after the activity to document outputs and areas that need improvement.

Planning, Coordinating, Monitoring, and Evaluation Division (PCMED)

- Coordinating, Monitoring and Evaluation of Mainstreamed and Attributed PPAs

- Coordination of Joint Technical Review for GAD Plan and Budget

- Receipt and Verification of Activity Designs for GBP PPAs

The GAD Planning, Coordinating, Monitoring, and Evaluation Division performs the bulk of the services surrounding mainstreamed and attributed GAD PPAs. In alignment with the mandates within JMC 2023-01 and the Magna Carta of Women, PCMED facilitates the coordinating and monitoring and evaluation areas of PPAs that fall under the GAD Budget. They receive and verify the proposed activity designs submitted by other LGU departments and the Barangays within the LGU to ensure careful monitoring and tracking of its progress, along with its subsequent evaluation following the PPA’s completion.

Furthermore, the division also specializes in data collection and analysis, as they are in charge of receiving and managing data for the GAD Database, which comes from the Office’s own data collection methods, and datasets gathered from other departments in the LGU and the Barangays.

One of the most significant services offered by the PCMED is the coordination of the Joint Technical Review that takes place for all LGU departments and Barangays within Pasig to fully review and assess their proposed GPBs for the next year, and determine if any changes, corrections, and adjustments need to be made to ensure that the PPA would be fully funded and correctly implemented according to the GAD Agenda, the provisions in the GAD Code and other related laws.
