📢 MONITORING AND EVALUATION (M&E) 2026 CONFERENCE ADVISORY FOR LGUs

To guide Local Government Units (LGUs) in ensuring full compliance with the 2026 Monitoring and Evaluation (M&E) process, the following advisory is issued to clarify the required submissions and coordination mechanisms among Sangguniang Kabataan (SK) Councils and Local Youth Development Officers (LYDOs). Compliance will depend on the timely and complete accomplishment of the required components of the M&E system by both the Barangay SKs and the LYDO, which will collectively determine the compliance status of the City or Municipality and, subsequently, the Province.

A. For Cities and Municipalities
To reach 100% compliance at the City or Municipal level, the following requirements must be completed:
All Barangays must accomplish Part 1 (Project) and Part 2 (Policy) through either PPAs or GAPs. The Local Youth Development Officer (LYDO) must accomplish Part 3.
A City or Municipality shall only be considered 100% compliant once all Barangays have completed Parts 1 and 2, and the Local Youth Development Officer (LYDO) has completed Part 3.
If a Barangay is fully compliant, it will be reflected in the City or Municipality’s compliance dashboard, which will then contribute to the Province’s overall compliance monitoring.

B. For Provinces
Provincial compliance will depend on the 100% completion of submissions from all Cities and Municipalities within the province.
Requirements for Sangguniang Kabataan (SK)
For an SK to be counted as compliant under LYDO monitoring, the SK must accomplish both parts together (not alternately):
• Part 1 – Project (PPA or GAP)
• Part 2 – Policy

⚠️ Important:
If an SK only fills out Part 1 or submits a GAP but does not complete Part 2, it will NOT be counted as compliant and will not be included in the LYDO compliance count.

Additional Reminder
Even if all Barangays have completed their submissions, these will not appear in the final compliance count if the LYDO does not accomplish Part 3 and input the required information in the system.

Summary of Requirements
✔ Barangay SKs must complete Part 1 and Part 2
✔ LYDO must complete Part 3
✔ Provincial compliance depends on 100% submission from Cities and Municipalities
