The NEDA holds the search for Outstanding Project Implementer every year through the Calabarzon Regional Project Monitoring Committee which aims to promote the efficient and effective implementation of development projects in the region.

The project implementer is evaluated based on its efficiency in project management and implementation, innovations and good practices, and budget utilization.
