In 1993 the National Economic and Development Authority (NEDA) and the National Commission on the Role of Filipino Women, now known as the Philippine Commission on Women (PCW), in conjunction with various Philippine government agencies, produced the Guidelines for Developing and Implementing Gender-Responsive Programs and Projects. The document sought to assist line or implementing agencies in (1) complying with Republic Act No. 7192, known as the Women in Development and Nation-Building Act and its Implementing Rules and Regulations; (2) integrating a gender and development (GAD) perspective in development planning processes and various stages of the project cycle; and (3) addressing the issues of inadequate sex-disaggregated data and statistics for development planning and programming.
