BACKGROUND

The DOLE acknowledges the significant role of LGU, Public Employment Service Offices
(PESOs) as its partner in implementing its employment services programs at the grassroots
level. Mission RACE Program is proposed to the Department to implement capacity-building
and development initiatives towards economic recovery strategy through livelihood and
entrepreneurship promotion. Hence, DOLE finds its importance to conduct a 2021 Mission
R.A.C.E. (Rebooting Activities Through Community Engagement) Post Assessment cum
Evaluation and Awarding Activity Per Covered Area/LGU
The activity gives due recognition to the valuable contribution of the LGU, PESOs and
HEROs in facilitating the conduct of the program amid the Covid-19 pandemic and their
active responses to the timetable given. This serves as an avenue to all the involve
implementers to share the good practices and insights in implementing their functions.
To fully extend the profiled data and realize the efficiency of the accomplishments, it is
deemed necessary for the implementers to grasp information from the partner agencies that
will partake in delivering assistance and intervention.

ASSESSMENT OBJECTIVES

convene all Mission R.A.C.E. Local HEROs and GIP HEROs from different LGUs to:

OVERALL RATING OF THE ACTIVITY

(Note: Do not include this in their evaluation form. This is for OPCR purposes when Regional Offices
submit their Evaluation report to BLE as part of the Post-Activity Report. Please get the average score
of questions 1-6 per participant)

(E.g. Questions 1 – 6 total = 21 divided by 6 questions = 3.5 = Rating is still 3)

Make a tally of the scores. For instance, there are 50 participants in your activity and all 50 submitted
their evaluation forms:

Reference:

4 –0 pax (0.00%)
3 – 144 pax (100%)

13
2 – 0 pax (0.00%)
1 – 0 pax (0.00%)
-----------------
144 pax were satisfied – because getting a score of 1 is unsatisfactory, so only
scores 2 to 4 will be considered.
144/144 = 100% satisfactory rate
(144 divided by 144 = 100% satisfactory rate = 5 score in their OPCR)
