520			_aThe Re-Entry Project Plan/Report (ReP) sought to institutionalize a Third-Party Audit Mechanism in the implementation of TESDA Scholarship Program in the Autonomous Region of Muslim Mindanao (ARMM). The Project was conceptualized and implemented within the context and framework of the mandate, vision and mission of the Technical Education and Skills Development Authority (TESDA), as well as its well-defined Strategic Directions. The ReP's conceptualization and implementation was pushed based in the focused problem on ghost scholarships and trainings believed to be existing or prevalent among TVI-beneficiaries of ARMM. After analysis of available data and information, certain interventions were raised and this Proponent believed that the Third-Party Audit Mechanism would be an effective intervention to purge out the practice and defeat the consequences. The mechanism would provide an effective check and balance in accordance with TESDA's support to TVET provision, specifically on programs or projects that center on critical skills requirements addressed by the scholarships and other student assistance programs. It is focused on optimizing the utilization of TESDA scholarship slots by eliminating ghosts or fake scholars as beneficiaries. It is also designed to improve fiscal efficiency in the management of scholarship funds. As an effect of the change that the ReP will bring about, the management capacities of TVET Institutions can be enhanced through the inculcation of the importance of transparency, fiscal management, open governance and accountability. The overall ReP's objective is to make the implementation of the various TVET scholarship program being managed by TESDA-ARMM effective and efficient. Specifically, it is aimed at (1) institutionalization of a third party audit mechanism in the implementation of TESDA scholarship program in ARMM through the issuance of a TESDA Circular; (2) Organization of a third party audit team; and (3) conduct of pilot third-party audit activity. A work-breakdown structure containing the activities, targets and deliverables was laid down prior to the implementation of the Project. The Project implementation started with the issuance of a TESDA Circular on the conduct of a third-party audit among identified Technical-Vocational Institutions of identified areas and completed with the actual Audit and the report of the Audit Team. The results of the audit showed a variance of 52% or only 92 out of 200 scholars were actually present during the conduct of the audit giving rise to the presumption that either the practice of ghost scholars could still be prevailing or the TVET Trainers are not mindful of the scholars' physical attendance in training. The Third-Party audit team concluded that (1) there is laxity in the enforcement of policies, rules and guidelines governing the scholarship program at the provincial levels; and (2) the numbers of absent trainees, which are the targets of the audit, are too high to be considered and the reasons for their absences are unacceptable. The Team also observed that based on the results, there is a need to conduct audit at least thrice during the implementation period of the scholarship programs. As part of lessons gained and reflection on the implementation of this pilot project, the proponents has committed to pursue the mechanism and seek ways, within its authority and functions, to institutionalize and sustain the project.
