Section 15Sec./Art. 15

Long-term Development Framework. - The DEPDev shall formulate the country's long-term development framework, hereinafter referred to as the Framework.

The Framework is a high-level and broad strategy spanning twenty-five (25) years that shall guide the country toward sustainable growth and development and the attainment of the Vision. It shall serve as a tool to coordinate, guide, and inform the preparation and consideration of future, more detailed national and subnational development plans, national and subnational public investment programs, and sectoral and inter-sectoral plans and programs. It shall embody the development goals and milestones to serve as the basis for the overall direction of government policies, programs, and projects across political administrations. The initial long-term development framework shall cover the period ending in the year 2050.

The Framework shall further include the country's long-term vision, goals, and strategy for infrastructure development. In line with this, all agencies are required to formulate and submit to the DEPDev their sectoral infrastructure master plan which are responsive to the long-term development framework. The plan shall be consolidated and vetted by the Infrastructure Development Committee (InfraCom) into the Comprehensive Infrastructure Development Master Plan (CIDMP). The CIDMP shall serve as the foundation for forward planning, prioritization and development of infrastructure investment and programs. It shall serve as the integrated framework of the infrastructure programs and projects of government enterprise architecture.

The CIDMP shall be reviewed and updated as needed, to anticipate disruptions, emergencies, crises, and new or emerging technologies and trends.
