Challenges
Challenges / Opportunities
1. The VE/VA process as defined/applied by international institutions
is not yet widely or fully recognized, understood and
institutionalized in the Philippines.
2. While local consulting firms have started equipping their
personnel in VEVA, Government has to rely largely on foreign
Certified Value Specialists (CVS) given local limited capacity.
3. Decision makers have yet to fully realize the importance of
VE/VA.
Way Forward
Way Forward

1. Recommend VE/VA Funds in the annual budget.


2. Enhance the project selection process focusing on high-impact
projects.
3. Establish a system for monitoring results of VE/VA studies
specific for Infrastructure Projects
4. Expand the coverage of capacity-building of personnel on VE/VA.
5. NEDA to continue supporting the integration of VE/VA in the
Government’s Project Development Cycle
