Making accountability and a value-laden life as the game-changer in transformation
VRP–GAD PAVES is a 3‑day learning and development course under the Values Restoration Program (VRP) that weaves together gender and development (GAD), public accountability laws, and values formation for public servants. It is a CSC‑ALDI‑certified program designed to strengthen both character and competence so that GAD and integrity policies are not only compliant on paper but alive in daily decisions and service delivery.
Why This Training Matters
CSC Announcement No. 40, s. 2017 recognizes the Values Restoration Program as a soft approach to the government’s anti‑corruption initiatives, encouraging agencies to appoint Values Restoration Officers (VROs) and support VRP activities. Many institutions already have GAD mandates and accountability mechanisms, but gaps remain in internalizing these standards and translating them into behavior, culture, and systems. VRP–GAD PAVES addresses this by equipping leaders and staff with values, lenses, and tools to ensure that public service is principled, gender‑fair, and citizen‑focused
What Is VRP–GAD PAVES?
Anchored on transformational leadership, VRP–GAD PAVES is a training that develops leadership skills by reinforcing a positive value system, discussing key public accountability laws, and defining gender‑sensitive principles in nurturing a value‑laden culture in the workplace. It complements the broader VRP framework, which aims to establish a graft‑free and value‑laden society through the initiatives of the Council for the Restoration of Filipino Values (CRFV), a CSC‑Accredited Learning and Development Institution.
By the end of the training, participants are able to:
- Appreciate the importance of VRP–GAD PAVES in nation‑building and institutional reform, and articulate how values, GAD, and accountability intersect in their roles.
- Examine and reinforce their own value system in relation to spirituality, love of God, selfless love, respect for self and others, responsible stewardship, and excellence in service.
- Understand and apply key public accountability and GAD‑related laws—such as the Revised Administrative Code, RA 11032 (Ease of Doing Business), and RA 11313 (Safe Spaces Act)—from a values‑driven perspective.
- Propose concrete actions and initiatives that will help build a principled, accountable, and gender‑sensitive work culture in their respective agencies
Training Formats and Duration
VRP–GAD PAVES is typically delivered as a 4‑day face‑to‑face training with 24 training hours, composed of nine sessions and three workshops. This standard design includes modules on Transformational Leadership, Relationship Management, Work Ethics and Excellence in Service, and Public Accountability and GAD/GST, with integrated workshops on laws and values.
However, the program can be customized according to the needs, context, and schedule of your agency. Options include shorter formats (e.g., 2–3 days), segmented learning hours, online or blended delivery, and agency‑exclusive runs designed specifically for your GAD priorities and organizational realities.
