Budget Utilization Rates - Current Appropriation

[Audio] Now, we go to the second topic which is the Budget Utilization Rate for Current Appropriation, Our target for 1st quarter is 10% obligation rate and 85% disbursement for obligations made..

[Audio] This slide presents the first-quarter accomplishments for Current Appropriations. As of March 31, with a total allotment of 977.3 million, we reported a 23.42% obligation rate—well above our first-quarter target of 10%. Meanwhile, the disbursement rate stands at 26.72%, which is below the target of 85%..

[Audio] As an update, it shows also here our accomplishments as of April 24. With a total allotment of 2.56 billion, the obligation utilization rate stands at 13.50%. This decline is due to the increase in the denominator by approximately 1.4 billion from Hfep funds received in the first week of April. Including also the disbursements made for April, our updated disbursement rate is 38.74% Please be informed that, per OPCR, the target obligation rate for the second quarter is 30%. With the total allotment we currently have, this means we must obligate at least 827.5 million. At present, our obligation stands at 372 million, which highlights the gap we need to close to achieve the target. In general, like our conap, the reasons for the low disbursement rate under the current appropriation can be attributed to the following, the ongoing delivery of items or awaiting for the delivery of items; completion of the required documents for payment of delivered and inspected items; cash of some for sub-allotment were either not yet received or received only in the second quarter. The detailed breakdown of these accomplishments will be presented in the succeeding slides, organized per division, cluster or unit. All details in the succeeding slides will be pure operations of each programs or cluster and we have a separate slide for salaries of Contract of Service..

[Audio] For this slide , we have 3 clusters under the office of the LHSD Chief. As of April 24, these 3 clusters are already above the obligation rate of 30% which is our target for second quarter. But all disbursement rates are below the target of 85% of what has been obligated. Anyway, we still have 2 months to increase this disbursement rates. For the Family Health Cluster, With a total allotment of 105.5 Million, we achieved here an obligation rate of 60.03% or amounting to 63.3 Million, While the disbursement rate is 1.94% only, or amounting to 1.2 Million of the 63.3 Million. Under this cluster, we have purchased requests with a total earmarked funds amounting to 11.7 Million, or 11.9% , that leaves us with an available allotment of 30.4 Million. For the Communicable Disease Cluster, With a total allotment of 46.1 Million, We have an obligation rate of 46.77% or amounting to 21.5 Million, Along with a Disbursement rate of 10.68% or amounting to 2.3 Million, Under this Cluster, We also have purchase requests with atotal earmarked funds amounting to 8.1 Million, or 17.75%, that leaves us with an available allotment of 16.3 Million.

Again, for this slide, we highlight that all have successfully achieved their target obligation rates of 10% for first quarter and are already progressing toward the 30% target for the second quarter. However, it is important to note that the disbursement utilization rate remains significantly below our target of 85%. This gap underscores the challenge of translating obligations into timely disbursements, and it reflects the need for closer monitoring, and more efficient processes to ensure that funds obligated are also disbursed within the expected timeframe. So, for Public Health Services Cluster, We have a total allotment of around 7.9 Million, With an obligation rate of 16.34%, or amounting to 1.2 Million, And Disbursement rate of 14%, or amounting to 180 thousand, For this cluster, we have an earmarked amounting to 1.5 Million, or 19.57%, that leaves us with an available allotment of 5 Million.
