Revenue Administration Reform Project in the Philippines Would Have Benefited From Consolidating its Sustainability Efforts

Develop and implement policy and operational guidance from the findings and recommendations made in its October 2012 Operations Review to improve sustainability planning.

Develop and implement policy and operational guidance that require countries in future compacts to develop and annually update sustainability plans that specifically identify the risks and challenges to sustainability and proposed options to manage and mitigate these risks, as recommended in the Operations Review. In addition, such plans should establish (1) a clear vision of goals to be achieved, (2) a mechanism to assess their effectiveness in terms of the completeness, robustness, and cohesiveness of sustainability measures and (3) a mechanism to monitor and report on progress of sustainability measures.
