Capacity Development Framework for Local
Governments developed by LGA in changing

development pillars, for effective local
governance capacity development, namely:
Structure, Competency, Management
Systems & Processes, Enabling Policies,
Knowledge & Learning, and Leadership

CHANGING THE GAME IN LOCAL GOVERNANCE CAPACITY DEVELOPMENTIN LOCAL GOVERNANCE CAPACITY DEVELOPMENT
CHANGING THE GAME
Message from the Executive Director
2019 has been an exciting year for the LGA as we
welcomed the new set of local officials who won in the May
elections. As much as the local officials were eager to fulfill
their campaign promises, the same can be said of the LGA as
we pursue our commitment in capacitating the local officials
all over the country.
We put a premium on the Program for the Newly-Elected
Officials or the Program for NEOs which we fine-tuned to make
it more responsive to the capacity development needs of the
elected officials. More than a term-based and competency-
based program, the NEO program has become a convergence
platform where various development institutions can work
together with a common goal of producing empowered
communities through good local governance.
In 2019, we also experienced the same challenges in terms of
assisting our local governments in preparing and recovering
from natural and man-made calamities, countering the
peace and order issues and sustaining local development.
And anything that concerns local governments, the LGA was always ready when sought for assistance
by government and non-government organizations. We were able to respond to the call even with
limited resources both human and financial, through the strategic partnerships we have established
through the years.
This annual report describes how we strive to continue changing the game in local governance
capacity development in the country. We are confident that we can fulfill our mission of changing
mindsets and influencing the behavior of local officials with the support of the people and institutions
who continue to trust the LGA and share our vision of a better Philippines.
Looking forward to a great year ahead for all good local governance champions and stakeholders!

Serving the mandate as the training arm of the Department of the Interior and Local
Government (DILG), the Local Government Academy (LGA), in its endeavor to be
the premier local governance capacity development institution in the country, has
implemented developmental programs and delivered capacity development initiatives

CHANGING THE GAME IN LOCAL GOVERNANCE CAPACITY DEVELOPMENT
OUTCOME 1:
BUSINESS-FRIENDLY AND
COMPETITIVE LGUs
The passage of Republic Act 11032, or otherwise known as the Ease of Doing Business
and Efficient Government Services Delivery Act, has seen local governments pacing
towards cutting red tape and streamlining procedures in their service delivery in pursuit
of economic reforms that will provide the enabling environment for communities where
businesses and investments can thrive.
With the country’s standing in the global competitiveness and ease of doing business
index showing significant progress, the LGA for 2019 has continued to implement
programs in support of this developments: The Regulatory Simplification for Local
Governments (RS4LG) and the Local Economic Development for Local Government Units
(LED4LGUs).
This is to ensure that local governments are well capable of setting the environment
conducive for local economies to thrive while keeping the process of doing business both
simple and efficient.

OUTCOME 2:

LGUs
Being a country that is under the constant threat of natural disasters, the Philippines,
requires Filipinos to be at all times prepared. Resilient as the Filipino spirit may be, our
people’s ability to cope and prepare for threats imposed by either natural or man-made
disasters merits utmost priority.
In line with this, the LGA for 2019, continued to shape the country’s story of resilience
through sets of intervention that is founded on strengthening the country’s overall
capacity for disaster preparedness and mitigation under one of its banner programs:
Operation L!STO.

Operation L!STO
Serving as the umbrella program of
the DILG through the LGA for Disaster

the Operation L!STO uses a “one-

approach in pursuing the capacity
enhancement of local governments for
disaster management.

ACCOUNTABLE, TRANSPARENT,

LOCAL GOVERNANCE
2019 has seen new blood take on the political landscape at the national and local level.
With new mandates to assume, the newly-elected officials, serving as the political leaders
of their respective localities are handed with the burden of proving their competence, but
also their integrity as leaders to make good on their promises during the campaign as an
invaluable part of their social contract with their constituents.
Understanding this important need for competent local officials, and in an effort towards a
more accountable, transparent, participative, and effective brand of local governance, the
LGA has scaled up its efforts and initiatives towards priming the country’s newly-minted
local chiefs in their newfound mandate with the Program for the Newly Elected Officials
(NEOs) taking the center stage for the interventions offered by LGA under Outcome 4.
