3.0 Agencies that have a consolidated FY 2019 GPB shall submit a consolidated GAD AR; while those agencies that have prepared their FY 2019 GPBs by region shall submit their GAD ARs in the same manner. GAD accomplishments of lower constituent units (i.e., district and field offices) shall be integrated either in the agency consolidated GAD AR or in the regional GAD AR.

4.0 The GAD expenditure of a regional office or a constituent unit may not necessarily be at least 5% of its approved total annual budget for as long as the agency as a whole meets the minimum 5% GAD expenditure based on the agency’s total budget appropriations.

5.0 In the preparation of the FY 2019 GAD AR, the Harmonized Gender and Development Guidelines (HGDG) Project Implementation and Management, and Monitoring and Evaluation (PIMME) checklist (HGDG Boxes 16 & 17) or the Facility Implementation, Management, and Monitoring and Evaluation checklist (HGDG Box F2) shall be used in assessing the gender-responsiveness of the major agency program/project based on its implementation/accomplishment report for attribution to GAD.

5.1 The score shall be the basis in determining the actual cost/expenditure that can be attributed to GAD and reflected in the GAD AR. The percentage score of the program/project in the HGDG PIMME/FIMME assessment shall correspond to the percentage of the expenditure of the agency’s major program/project that may be attributed to the GAD: Provided, that programs/projects with HGDG PIMME/FIMME scores below 4.0 shall not be eligible for attribution.
