Good Governance Conditions (GGC) Score Card
In the interest of upholding good governance, the CHR endeavored to
comply with the AO 25 requirements on agency accountabilities, which
included the updating of Transparency Seal, Compliance to Audit
Findings and Liquidation of Cash Advances, and compliance to
procurement requirements of the GPPB, among others. With these and
the CHR’s full observance of the requirements as to the four dimensions
of accountability, the Commission was able to qualify for the grant of the
FY 2021 Performance-Based Bonus (PBB), with a remarkable PBB
rating of 100%. For 2022, the CHR has made equal efforts to meet good
governance practices and established the groundwork for GGC
conditions. It has sustained compliance with COA audit outcomes, wherein to reciprocate such
findings, the agency duly observed and implemented all twenty-eight (28) recommendations
contained in the assessment report, and thus attaining 100% compliance for the year.
In furtherance to establishing the GGC conditions under which agencies are required to submit
regularly their accountability reports to the Department of Budget and Management (DBM) and
the Commission on Audit (COA), the CHR has been aligning its responsibilities as mandated in
the pertinent sections of the General Provisions of the annual General Appropriations Act (GAA).
The Commission completed the online submission of its Financial Accountability Reports (FARs)
in the DBM’s Unified Reporting System (URS) on time. Doing so, it was able to meet the
prescribed deadline, which allowed thirty days (30) after the end of each quarter. Punctuality in
terms of overall compliance with the requirements of the pertinent agencies is demonstrated
further in timely submission of financial reports to the COA, updating of the Citizen’s Charter in
compliance with the requirements of the Anti-Red Tape Authority (ARTA), and Overall Customer
Satisfaction rating of 4.94 (equivalent to “Very Satisfactory”) gathered from 6,666 total
respondents.

Externally-Funded Projects
The CHR, in partnership with the Spanish Agency for International Development Cooperation
(AECID) through the Country Partnership (MAP) to initiatives aimed at the promotion and
protection of human rights in the country, mainly through several initiatives with the project
entitled “FORTALEZA: Strengthening of the Philippine Commission on Human Rights”.
The results obtained with this intervention and the solid relations between AECID and the CHR
led to the signing of a delegated cooperation agreement between European Union (EU) and
AECID for the implementation of the GoJUST Human Rights Project. AECID's main partner in
this project is the Commission on Human Rights (CHR), but the Regional Human Rights
Commission (RHRC) of the Autonomous Region of Muslim Mindanao (ARMM) also participates
as implementing partner, since it caters to an area with special incidence of violence and human
rights violations.
The objective of the project is to strengthen the capacities of both institutions to carry out their
respective mandates, as well as support to multiple civil society organizations (CSOs) to
strengthen their role in the defense of human rights and in the fight against impunity for human
rights violations, as plaintiffs of justice and guarantors of accountability and support for victims.
