| Abstract | Early child-bearing and high fertility still persist especially among the poor, despite  the more than two decades of family planning program implementation in the  Philippines. Using an evaluation framework that links inputs, outputs, utilization of  outputs and outcomes, the paper analyzed the impact of the different components of  the Philippine Population Management Program (PPMP), namely: family planning  and responsible parenthood, reproductive health, adolescent health and youth  development, and integration of population and development. On the inputs and  output side, the paper utilized the expenditures on the different components of the  program for the years 1998 and 2000 presented in Racelis and Herrin (2003). Data  from the several rounds of the national demographic survey, family planning survey  and maternal and child health survey were used to generate utilization and outcomes  indicators. The paper highlights the inadequate institutional and financial support as  the primary cause of the population program’s ineffectual performance.  |
