History

NEDA WAS CREATED DURING MARTIAL LAW UNDER THE MARCOS REGIME

In 1972, the National Economic Development Authority (without the conjunction “and”) was created as the government’s central planning body. The first major thrust of the government-wide reorganization effected through Presidential Decree (P.D.) No. 1 issued on 24 September 1972, otherwise known as the Integrated Reorganization Plan (IRP), was the provision for an integrated organizational complex for development planning and program implementation to correct the deficiencies of the system then existing. The IRP identified these deficiencies as: (1) the dispersal of planning functions among several economic planning bodies and ad hoc councils; (2) the lack of effective coordination among economic bodies; (3) the weak link between plan formulation and program execution; (4) the need to improve the capacity for sectoral and regional planning.

After the ratification of the 1973 Constitution on 17 January 1973, P.D. 107, dated January 24, 1973, was promulgated creating the National Economic and Development Authority (now, with the conjunction “and”) as mandated in the 1973 Constitution. The National Economic Development Authority (NEDA) created earlier under the IRP pursuant to P. D. No. 1 was made the nucleus of, and absorbed by, the new National Economic and Development Authority (NEDA).

In 1974, the NEDA Regional Office VI was established in Iloilo City – the regional center of Western Visayas or Region VI. The late Atty. Alex Guay Umadhay was the first Regional Director until he retired in 1992. The present office of NEDA VI, located at Fort San Pedro, Iloilo City, was constructed in 1978.

On 12 March 1986, after the February 1986 revolution, Executive Order (EO) No. 5 was issued by President Corazon C. Aquino, directing a government-wide reorganization to promote economy, efficiency and effectiveness in the delivery of public services.

On 22 July 1987 Executive Order No. 230 was issued reorganizing the NEDA. Implementation of this EO was completed on 16 February 1988 when the NEDA commenced operations under its reorganized setup.

Legal Bases

NEDA WAS CREATED DURING THE MARCOS ERA

The need for an office in charge of national development was revived during the administration of President Ferdinand E. Marcos. In his 1970 State of the Nation Address, Marcos said the administrative machinery of government must be restructured and revitalized to meet the challenge of change and development. Marcos, thereafter, crafted a government reorganization plan which included a National Economic Development Authority and submitted it to Congress for their approval.

When Martial Law was declared on September 23, 1972, his first act was to implement, through Presidential Decree No. 1, s. 1972, the government reorganization plan he had submitted to Congress a year before. The decree merged the National Economic Council and the Presidential Economic staff, created by Executive Order No. 8, s. 1966, and renamed it to the National Economic Development Authority. President Marcos subsequently issued Presidential Decree No. 1-A which delineated the composition of the National Economic Development Authority.

The present form of the NEDA was organized by President Corazon C. Aquino on July 22 1987 through Executive Order No. 230. It defined the composition of the NEDA Board and the Secretariat and its powers and functions, the powers and functions of the Authority and its committees.[3]

On July 26 1994, President Fidel V. Ramos signed Memorandum Order No. 222 which reactivated the NEDA Board Executive Committee and mandating that the decisions of the NEDA Board Executive Committee shall be final, executory and binding upon the NEDA Board.[4]

On July 27 1992, president Ramos signed Republic Act No. 7640, which constituted the Legislative-Executive Development Advisory Committee (LEDAC). The LEDAC serves as a consultative and advisory body to the President as the head of the NEDA and gives advice on certain programs and policies, which are essential to the realization of the goals of national development.[5]

NEDA Board

The powers and functions of the NEDA reside in the NEDA Board. It is the Philippines' premier social and economic development planning and policy coordinating body. The Board is composed of the President as chairman, the Secretary of Socio-Economic Planning and NEDA Director-General as vice-chairman, and the following as members: the Executive Secretary and the Secretaries of Finance, Trade and Industry, Agriculture, Environment and Natural Resources, Public Works and Highways, Budget and Management, Labor and Employment, and Interior and Local Government.

The following have since been added as members to the Board: the Secretaries of Health, Foreign Affairs, and Agrarian Reform (per Memorandum Order No. 164, dated 21 March 1988); the Secretary of Science and Technology (per Memorandum Order No. 235, dated 19 May 1989); and the Secretary of Transportation and Communications (per Memorandum Order No. 321, dated 26 September 1990). In addition, the Secretary of Energy (per Republic Act No. 7638, approved December 9, 1992) and the Governor of the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (per Section 124 of Republic Act No. 7653, approved June 14, 1993).

On April 22, 2006, the NEDA Board was reconstituted through Administrative Order No. 148, adding eight new members and replacing five original members.
