About Us

The Institutional Planning and Development Unit (IPDU) of Marinduque State University (MarSU) serves as one of the key administrative and strategic planning units attached to the Office of the University President. The Unit is primarily responsible for assisting the University in achieving institutional growth, organizational effectiveness, and sustainable development through strategic planning, policy support, monitoring, evaluation, and development-oriented initiatives aligned with the University’s vision, mission, and long-term goals.

The Unit plays a vital role in the preparation, coordination, implementation, and monitoring of institutional plans, programs, and development strategies that guide the University’s operations and decision-making processes. It facilitates the formulation of strategic plans, development plans, financial plans, annual operational plans, and other planning documents necessary for institutional governance, resource allocation, and performance management.

As part of its core planning functions, the IPDU undertakes the preparation of strategic, development, financial, and annual plans of the University. It likewise prepares and consolidates institutional reports and compliance documents required by regulatory and oversight agencies such as the Commission on Higher Education (CHED), the Department of Economy, Planning, and Development (DEPDev), the AO25 Inter-Agency Task Force, the Department of Budget and Management (DBM), and other government entities. The Unit also facilitates faculty teaching effectiveness evaluation, student services area assessment, and the preparation of annual accomplishment and operational reports that support institutional evaluation and continuous improvement initiatives.

Committed to data-driven planning and evidence-based governance, the IPDU oversees the collection, management, analysis, and utilization of institutional data necessary for planning, policy formulation, and decision-making. Through its planning systems and development initiatives, the Unit supports the University in identifying priorities, addressing organizational needs, strengthening program implementation, and enhancing institutional performance.

Guided by the principles of accountability, efficiency, innovation, collaboration, and continuous improvement, the Institutional Planning and Development Unit remains committed to strengthening institutional planning systems, promoting strategic development initiatives, and supporting the realization of MarSU’s goals toward quality education, responsive governance, and sustainable institutional advancement.
