On August 27, 2019, NEDA issued the call for the agencies’ submission of priority programs and projects (PAPs) for inclusion in the Updated PIP and FY 2021-2023 TRIP, as input to the FY2021 budget preparation. The Updated PIP is expected to:

1. 1. Contain the Core Investment Programs/Projects (CIPs) or pipeline of PAPs for Investment Coordination Committee (ICC) and/or NEDA Board action for the current and succeeding years within the medium-term (until 2022), with focus on projects for ICC processing in 2019 and 2020 that would require budgetary support for FY 2021;
   2. Identify proposed priority PAPs that are responsive to the outcomes and outputs (as applicable) in the 2017-2022 Philippine Development Plan (PDP) and its accompanying Results Matrices (RM) to be implemented within the medium term (until 2022), for implementation through national government funds / General Appropriations Act (GAA), Official Development Assistance (ODA), Public-Private Partnership (PPP) or Joint Venture (JV) undertakings, and other viable implementation or financing options; and
   3. Monitor the status of proposed priority pipeline PAPs in terms of level of readiness, and ongoing priority PAPs in terms of status of implementation.

As a subset of the PIP, the TRIP is expected to contain priority infrastructure PAPs requiring funding from the national government for FY2021-2023. The TRIP serves as the basis for the determination of the infrastructure PAPs to be included in the National Budget of the Government.
