Review and Coordination of Major Social Development Projects
According to "Directions for Editing and Review of Medium- and Long-Term Individual Projects of Executive Yuan Subordinate Agencies," the medium- and long-term individual projects are categorized into social development, technological development, and public construction. Social development projects are forward-looking, emerging projects of significance set to prevent and solve social problems and to facilitate social development.
Central government agencies submit major social development projects to the Executive Yuan for approval, based on their functions and policy guidelines of the Executive Yuan. In order to make the projects more comprehensive and to integrate resources, Executive Yuan assigns NDC to review the projects. NDC reviews projects by various methods, including professional review, on-site review, meeting with relevant agencies, etc. Criteria for projects reviewing are social demand, strategy feasibility, coordination, expected outcome, predictable social or economic impact of the projects. After review of major social development projects, NDC reports the comprehensive and perspective suggestions to the Executive Yuan for further project approval or policy making.
