8. In light of several natural and man-made emergencies and implementation of certain immigration policies in host countries from 2010 to date, the State party attended to the immediate evacuation and repatriation of Filipino nationals through its Emergency Repatriation Program and Legal Assistance Fund, in addition to the regular annual allocation for such purposes. 9. Cognizant of the challenges in terms of resources, the State party continues to take a progressive approach in redirecting or increasing funds and personnel by prioritizing Posts where there is high concentration of nationals and OFWs48. (c) Establishing proper follow-up procedures as well as clear, measurable and time-bound targets in order to facilitate tracking the implementation of the various initiatives and programme in place to respond to challenges faced in the State party’s labour migration policy 10. The State party tracks the implementation of migration policies and programmes through a multi-level, and multi-stakeholder performance management system. At the national level, the Organizational Performance Indicator Framework establishes a clear accountability for results from organizations to officials, officers and staff who administer the programmes. The Planning Tool, on the other hand, links the cluster indicators and targets with societal outcomes, measured on per programme, project, and activity level. Performance is reported and progress is assessed at the national level through the Department of Budget and Management (DBM). By sector, the Philippine Labor and Employment Plan (2011-16) contains specific targets and measures on the decent work goals for Filipino migrants and their families. Progress is measured and reported annually to the government’s tripartite partners. At the organizational level, various statistical reporting procedures are set in place (e.g., the DOLE’s monthly Statistical and Performance Reporting System or SPRS). 11. Certain indicators are also monitored through specialized systems. For instance, the 2nd National Strategic Action Plan (2012-16) of the Inter-Agency Council Against Trafficking (IACAT), a results-based monitoring and evaluation framework, tracks and measures the efficiency and effectiveness of efforts in addressing human trafficking issues. The DOLE also implements a case monitoring system for adjudication of recruitment violation and settling complaints using Single-Entry Approach to measure the speed of case disposition. (d) Provide information on the results of any evaluation made in relation to the implementation the Convention and of relevant national legislation 12. In 2009, the Philippine Institute for Development Studies (PIDS), in its work on “Institutions Serving Philippine International Labor Migrants,” discussed the overseas employment governance structures and their mandates and how these institutions work together with NGOs in providing support to migrant workers. It cited that the regulatory framework for deployment of overseas workers that has been honed through time has been hailed by many as a model for other countries. 13. Relevant recommendations of a 2005 ILO study were addressed in subsequent laws and other measures adopted by migration-related agencies as discussed in relevant sections of the report49. The ILO study pertains to the assessment and development of policy measures to upgrade the capability of Philippine missions overseas to deliver services to Filipino migrant workers and the deregulation of the overseas employment sector. 48 In 2012, ten (10) Embassies and Consulates were closed to re-align personnel and resources to ATN-heavy posts. In 2014, the operating budget for the FWRCs in Riyadh, Kuwait, Qatar and the UAE were doubled. Additional female Labor Attaches and Welfare Officers were also deployed to Posts in the Middle East to ensure that gendersensitive issues related to migration are handled effectively. 49 For example, Republic Act No. 9422 was passed in 2007 and gave POEA enhanced powers to regulate the recruitment industry. 83
