Development plan scorecard
The plan’s targets, and where the region stands.
The 2nd Bangsamoro Development Plan 2023–2028 sets targets for every part of regional life: poverty and jobs, farms and tourism, schools and health, homes, roads, forests and peace. Each is set here beside the latest figure published for it, with both sources a click away.

About this figure and its sourcesHide
The plan's 2021 baseline (29.80%) includes Sulu. PSA first published 2023 as 23.5% (with Sulu, Aug 2024; used in BDR 2023/2024 and the Midterm Update); the 2025 release restates 2023 as 26% for the region without Sulu. The Midterm Update keeps the 20–25% target but restates the baseline as 28.0% (2021). The 2028 target was already beaten in 2025. Sulu was excluded from BARMM by the Supreme Court ruling of 9 September 2024; series published after that date may drop Sulu while the 2021/2022 baselines include it.
PSA 2025 Full-Year Official Poverty Statistics (released 26 Aug 2026), from the 2025 FIES, as reported by the Bangsamoro Information Office. The same release puts 2023 at 26 percent; the province list (Basilan, Tawi-Tawi, Lanao del Sur, Maguindanao del Norte/Sur, Cotabato City) has no Sulu.

Moving the wrong way if the figures are comparable; definitions look inconsistent.
48.2% matches DOST-FNRI's ENNS 2023 figure for MODERATE-to-severe household food insecurity in BARMM (highest region), so the year and definition may not match the indicator.

About this figure and its sourcesHide
Only a 2024 target is printed. The table does not say whether the ratio is for the year or cumulative since filing. The matrix has no targets for own-source revenue or budget utilisation; the Midterm Update reports them (Table 5.2 local revenue 2020-2025, printed p.78; utilisation rates p.76) without plan targets.
No implementing agency printed (Bangsamoro Transition Authority Parliament). Printed '36.70%'. 2023: 19.1%.

How this is judged
The targets the 2nd Bangsamoro Development Plan 2023–2028 sets, each beside the latest published figure. End-of-plan (2028) targets exist only for the economy, jobs and poverty; the plan’s sector targets sit in a Results Matrix BPDA has not published, so for those the latest annual target it reprinted (2024 or 2025) is used. No sector has a published 2028 target. Researched November 2026. A figure is judged against the target for its own year where the plan set one, and against the end target otherwise; “met” means it has reached the target, not that it will stay there. Figures are as published, with their own definitions: several changed during the plan, and Sulu left the region in 2024, so a later figure may cover fewer provinces than the start.

What is missing
- The plan's sector-level end-of-plan (2028) targets are in a separate Results Matrix (RM) 2023-2028 that BPDA has not published; only the macroeconomic table has 2028 targets in the plan itself. Sector targets above are the 2023-2025 annual targets that the Bangsamoro Development Report 2024 reprints from the RM.
- No BDR 2025 found; the Midterm Update (Aug 2026) reports most sector actuals only to 2024.
- Actuals with no published target: basic and functional literacy (FLEMMS 2024), household electrification, basic sanitation, index crime volume, SGLG awards, poverty incidence among population (also no 2025 BARMM figure found), displaced families (MSSD: 243,157 families displaced in 2025, Midterm p.220).
- Targets with no usable actual: GRDP per capita, industry and services growth for 2025 (PSA 2025 regional release not retrievable); annual average inflation for 2025; gross capital formation (dropped: BDR 2024 gives 8.1% for 2024 while the Midterm Update gives 21.4%); poverty gap and severity ('downward trend', no figures).
- Health outcome targets that would matter most to residents (facility-based births, skilled birth attendance, modern contraceptive use) are not in the published RM rows; NDHS 2022 values were not collected.
- Mortality and stunting in the plan's own tracker come from MOH facility reporting, not surveys; a survey-based 2028 target for these was not found.
- Free public Wi-Fi: the plan’s 2025 target is 15 sites, but its 2024 progress report prints the 2024 result as “37% (Intranet)”, a different measure, so it is not scored.
