The good local governance

journey of the Department
did not go unnoticed

Attention was given to informal settlers or

squatters

There are more job and livelihood

opportunities because stable local economy
CSOs and citizens can easily participate in
the formulation and implementation of
programs and projects
The local government units developed
sufficient preparedness to face natural
and/or man-made disasters

Peaceful and orderly community due to

Immediate action against emergency
Simplified and fast-tracked processes in
obtaining permits, licenses and other
documents

The DILG in the eyes of LGUs

MLGOOS and
DILG Field Personnel

THE DILG

Supervisor, sets performance

measures, tracks actual
performance and gives
incentives to performing LGUs
Kapag DILG ang nagpatawag,
present lahat.

Strong partner in the drive for

good local governance

Link and bridge between

the national and local
governments.

High performance of LGUs

linked strongly to the high
performance, skills and
characters of MLGOOs.

Swerte kami kasi competent at

masipag ang aming MLGOO

MLGOO is very hard working

and collaborative with the LGU
for the success of the
implementation of DILG
projects.

The Journey and the Direction the DILG should take in

the future: through the lens of SILG Sarmiento
FROM
An agency that merely issued MCs to/and
enjoined LGUs to do something with no
further assistance to realize the same

TO
A DILG that is a Big Brother to LGUs that provides
what was lacking in or inadequate to them with
certain governance and performance conditions

STRATEGIC DIRECTIONS
Accountable, Transparent,
Participative and Effective
Local Governance

Business-Friendly and
Competitive LGUs

Socially- Protective and Safe LGUs

LCEs should be economic and

development managers.
Encourage alliance and/or
collaboration among LGUs with a
corporative rather
cooperative mindset

Environment-Protective, Climate Change

Adaptive and Disaster Resilient LGUs

Establishment of regional/local DRRM

institutes for disaster preparedness and
capacity development interventions.
Subsidies from National Government
are anchored/based on the
Provincial/City/Municipal
Development Roadmap.

Develop the countryside to distribute development

CUTTING ACROSS
1. Ensure plans of Cities and Municipalities are all anchored on and/or linked to the Provincial Development Roadmap
2. Convert Local Councils into Economic Development Planning Boards
3. Develop a more robust CSOs and LRI engagement in program and project implementation

FEEDBACKS/FINDING & RECOMMENDATIONS

FINDINGS/FEEDBACK

RECOMMENDATIONS

Lack of disciplinary
measures or failure to
impose sanctions on erring
local officials.

- Strike a balance between Carrot and Stick

- In the context of Local autonomy and administrative power
hierarchy, define supervisory/oversight function of DILG over LGUs
and higher LGUs over component LGUs

Have more teeth

LGUs are flooded with
different NGA programs and
projects, with each NGA
having different sets of
policies, requirements, etc.

DILG to: 1. provide overall guidance to LGUs -- interpretation of

laws, policies and issuances and implementation of
national government programs;
2. act as main broker that balances and steers various
interventions by other agencies to the LGUs.

FEEDBACKS/FINDINGS & RECOMMENDATIONS

FINDINGS

RECOMMENDATION
ON STRENGTHENING INTERNAL CAPACITY OF THE DILG

DILG to take care of its own

people.

Increase the number of field personnel based on workload

Provide adequate funds and resources for field operations
Harmonize and streamline reportorial requirements

Lack of awareness of LGUs on

most of DILG programs and
projects

Advocate DILG programs and projects through the Leagues and

strengthen IECs for P/P (including markers for all infra-projects
implemented by the DILG).
ON POLICY REFORMS

Certain provisions of LG Code -Revisit the Code on among others the following:
and other issuances no longer
-- PS Cap lift
responsive and/or with
-- Resource Generation, including IRA formulation
different interpretations (i.e.
- DILG to set clear guidelines and to provide uniform/clear definition
IRA distribution etc.)
on policies/issuances such as the utilization of 20% Devt. Fund.

RECOMMENDATIONS PER OUTCOME AREA

FINDINGS/FEEDBACKS

RECOMMENDATION

FDP- Understandability of
disclosed data

Use Infographics and other easy to understand tools

and use of media with wide reach

SGLG- The frequent changes of

indicators make it harder for the
LGUs to comply

Stabilize indicators for a period before changing them

NEO/BNEO and other CapDev

programs for LGUsunresponsive, inadequate in
giving guidance; modules too
theoretical than practical.

Revisit the DILG CapDev agenda and modules;

institutionalize feedbacking mechanism on trainings

Lack or limited skills training for

LGU functionaries (PCMPDOs)

Expand coverage of CapDev interventions to include

non-term based LGU functionaries and technical
personnel

Cover barangays (performance of covered barangays

equals the performance of PCM)
Link the indicators to the localized SDG
