About Us
The Gas Policy Development Project (GPDP) aims to strengthen the capacity of the Philippine Department of Energy (DOE) in implementing Department Circular No. DC2024-01-007: The Amended Philippine Downstream Natural Gas Regulation (PDNGR). Building on the outputs from the previous phases, the GPDP on its third phase aims to complete and finalize a regulatory framework for the downstream natural gas industry.
It will likewise continue to build the capacity of regulators and provide evidence-based data and technical inputs for policy making and sectoral planning. The GPDP 3 started in November 2023 and is being implemented by the UP Statistical Center Research Foundation, Inc. (UPSCRFI) and funded by the Economic Research Institute for ASEAN and East Asia (ERIA).
The GPDP 3’s activities are anchored on its four (4) major components: Regulation Creation, Research, Capacity Building, and Policy Advisory.
