In like manner, the twenty percent (20%) Development Fund is an appropriation of the total annual budget no less than 20% for development projects. In March 2020, provisions of additional policy guidelines for the utilization of both funds were laid down to address the pandemic crisis. This study aims to examine and assess the utilization and expenditure of both funds in mitigating the pandemic crisis in the city government of Iligan, province of Lanao del Norte. It employs quantitative research design. The data collected were taken from official documents, namely, full disclosure policy forms no. 8 and no. 7; and the cases information in the COVID-19 tracker on the official website of the Department of Health. The Wilcoxon signed-rank test was used to measure the variable taken at two different time points and conditions, and a linear regression was used to analyze the relationship of the variables. The results show a significant difference (z = -2.934, p &lt; 0.001) between the scores given before and after the implementation of the additional policy guidelines on the utilization of both funds, with a large effect size (r = 0.88). The Shapiro - Wilk test was conducted to test the normality of the data (p &gt; 0.5) for regression analysis. Consequently, the data is normally distributed. The regression analysis shows a significant effect of the utilization of the fund to mitigate the crisis. The findings underscore the importance of policy enactments that provide temporary interventions in the aspect of fund utilization to combat the crisis. The study contributes to understanding how policy interventions contribute to mitigating the crisis, providing valuable initiatives for policymakers.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="ru"><p>Фонд по снижению риска бедствий и управлению ими на местном уровне - Local Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Fund (LDRRMF) представляет собой программу, обязывающую органы местного самоуправления выделять 5 % своих совокупных бюджетов на реализацию мероприятий, проектов и программ в области снижения риска бедствий. Аналогичным образом, 20%-й Фонд развития предусматривает ассигнование не менее 20 % от общего годового бюджета на проекты развития. В марте 2020 г. установлены дополнительные нормативные рекомендации по использованию обоих фондов в целях реагирования на пандемический кризис. Цель исследования - проанализировать и оценить использование и расходование средств фондов для смягчения последствий пандемии в органах городского управления Илигана (провинция Ланао-дель-Норте, Филиппины). Применен количественный исследовательский дизайн. Сбор данных осуществляли на основе официальных документов, а именно: форм политики полного раскрытия информации № 8 и 7, а также сведений о числе случаев заболевания, размещенных в COVID-19-трекере на официальном сайте Министерства здравоохранения Филиппин. Для оценки переменных в двух различных временных точках и условиях использовали критерий Уилкоксона для связанных выборок. Линейная регрессия применялась для анализа взаимосвязи между переменными. Результаты исследования продемонстрировали статистически значимое различие (z = -2,934, p &lt; 0,001) между показателями до и после введения дополнительных нормативных рекомендаций по использованию фондов, причем наблюдается большой эффект (r = 0,88). Для регрессионного анализа провели проверку нормальности распределения данных с помощью критерия Шапиро - Уилка (p &gt; 0,5), показавшую, что данные имеют нормальное распределение. Регрессионный анализ выявил значимое влияние использования фондов на смягчение последствий кризиса. Полученные результаты подчеркивают важность нормативных актов, обеспечивающих временные механизмы корректировки порядка использования бюджетных средств в условиях кризиса. Исследование вносит вклад в понимание того, каким образом такие политико-административные меры способствуют снижению последствий кризисных ситуаций, и предоставляет ценные ориентиры для лиц, принимающих решения.</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>budget allocation</kwd><kwd>regulatory adjustments</kwd><kwd>public health response</kwd><kwd>community resilience</kwd><kwd>municipal intervention strategies</kwd><kwd>adaptive local policymaking</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>распределение бюджета</kwd><kwd>нормативные корректировки</kwd><kwd>реагирование системы здравоохранения</kwd><kwd>устойчивость сообщества</kwd><kwd>муниципальные стратегии вмешательства</kwd><kwd>адаптивная муниципальная политика</kwd></kwd-group><funding-group/></article-meta><fn-group/></front><body></body><back><ref-list><ref id="B1"><label>1.</label><mixed-citation>Huigen MG, Jens IC.
