• Delays in start up
Geo-Tagging
• Process of assigning a
geographical reference, i.e,
geographical coordinates
(latitude and longitude) +
elevation - to an object.
• This could be done by taking
photos, nodes and tracks with
recorded GPS coordinates.
• This allows geo-tagged object
or SP data to be easily and
accurately located on a map.

Geo-Tagging: An Innovative Tool To Enhance
Transparency and Supervision
Forms of Geo-Tagging Data:
• Points / nodes / waypoints: a
specific health or school
location, or solar drier, other
post harvest facilities.
• Tracks / Lines / trails: road,
irrigation system, sewer /
water supply line, train line.
• Polygons: mining / re-greening
area, land parcel, vegetable/
commodity production area,
fishery /mariculture area.
• Photos / Videos: base and
progress
• Geotagged data taken at the time the
subprojects are proposed for financing
are used by the agencies in the pre-
review and site identification.
• Geotagged data for approved SPs are
uploaded in the respective agency
websites, e.g www.damrdp.net,
www.daprdp.net, ngp.denr.gov.ph,
www.nia.gov.ph/,
bangsamorodevelopment.org/mindanao-
trust-fund-for-reconstruction-and-
development-program-mtf-rdp/,
www.asfparmmgov.ph/ and which can be
validated thru virtual visit by oversight
agencies, CSOs and the Bank.
Geo-tagging Example No. 1: Visualization of a farm-to-market road in a conflict area: showing specific location, ground
distance, track / alignment, elevation profile, ground photos (with coordinates, date and time taken) of Farm-to-market Road,
i.e. baseline information + Progress photos + 3D visualization
Geo-tagging Example No. 2: Location and Visualization of bunkhouses in Yolanda damaged-area in Tacloban, showing the location of the
cluster of bunkhouses, land / lot area, and ground photos taken by the auditors and the volunteers
Geo-tagging Example No. 3: Location and Visualization of rehabilitation of Inting St in Earthquake damaged-area in Tagbilaran, Bohol by
the auditors and the volunteers
Geo-tagging Example No. 4: Visualization of reforestation projects. Polygon / area (i.e. number of seedlings
planted and cost may be computed virtually, and ground photos of reforestation subproject
Geo-tagging Example No. 5: mapping of distribution of micro SPs to beneficiaries
Geo-tagging Example No. 6: Mapping and visualization of an irrigation system; showing the main canal and the
sub-laterals, current service area, service area to be generated as a result of irrigation improvement + geotagged
photos of the inventory of condition of the structures and the canals , eqmt mobilization, progress photo graphs
Geo-tagging Example No. 7: An accurate bird’s eye view of mapping of combination of various interventions
from different sources of funds (school buildings, farm to market road, reforestation , and water supply) in a
municipality
Geo-tagging Example No.8 : innovative approach for engaging citizenry and civil society in identifying and
reporting road subproject with quality issues.
• Proven in Mindanao as a powerful tool to boosting transparency, improving
supervision, and fighting fraud and corruption in all stages of project
implementation, and now being scaled up.
• Can apply to almost all type of subprojects
• An innovative approach for citizen and CSO engagement (i.e. COA’s Citizen
Participatory Audit)
• Expanded and scaled up since 2009, and now in various stages of applications
in at least 12 World Bank financed projects in the Philippines.
• Jointly adopted by ADB, JICA and WB as a requirement for the POG, LGUPM,
and CPPM as issued by the GPPB.
• Undergoing pilot implementation for the Open Government Partnership (OP,
GPPB and PhilGEPS)
