LOCAL GOVERNMENT UNITS

LOCAL GOVERNANCE PERFORMANCE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM

It is a self-assessment and web-based development managementtool for provinces, cities and municipalities capable of providing information on the capacities and limitations of LGUS in the delivery of essential public services.

It aims to provide results-oriented information concerning levels of LGU management capacity, service delivery and state of development from which may evolve decisions or actions tooptimize investments or resources, establish LGU performancebenchmarks and generate strategic data for local and national policy development.

Its major output called the Annual State of Local Governance Report or SLGR, in downloadable electronic format, provides strategic information concerning LGU performance in governance along the areas of Administration, Social Services, Economic Development, Environmental Management and Valuing the Fundamental of Governance.

LGPMS is for:

LGUs – to monitor their performance and to assess their state of development for the purpose of influencing local and national decisions or actions essential in the provision of quality basic services to the constituents, and in addressing development gaps in the locality.

DILG - to link the information generated from the system to Department plans and programs that impact on local governments as it pursues its mandate of supporting the capacity development of LGU's towards self-governance, and development and its administrative oversight role in advancing in the interest of public accountability .

Other Users, i.e., other national government agencies, development institutions, investors, NGOs, academe and the general public - to facilitate research and the pulling of information about local governments as inputs to development studies, policy or project development.

THE COMMUNITY BASED MONITORING SYSTEM (CBMS) AS

MDG BENCHMARKING AND MONITORING TOOL

• A diagnostic tool to assess poverty in the barangay, municipal, city, and provincial level. It provides policymakers and program implementers with a good information base for tracking the impacts of macroeconomic reforms and various policy shocks.

• It is an organized way of collecting information at the local level for use of LGUs, national government agencies, NGOs, and civil society for planning, program implementation and monitoring. CBMS is a tool intended for a more improved governance and greater transparency and accountability in resource allocation.

Technical Assistance to LGUs on tracking Millennium Development Goals (MDG) through Community-Based Monitoring System (CBMS)

As frontline institutions, the LGUs play significant roles to realize the MDGs. Achievement of the MDG targets largely depends on the delivery of devolved basic social services which are the primary responsibility of LGUs under RA 7160 of the Local Government Code (LGC).

Technical Assistance to LGUs to access financing on MDGF 1919/SALINTUBIG

The Department is the lead agency in the implementation of the 2012 Sagana at Ligtas na Tubig sa Lahat (SALINTUBIG) Program.

The Program aims to contribute to the attainment of the goal of achieving universal access to potable water supply and the targets defined in the Philippine Development Plan 2O11-2Q16, Millennium Development Goals (MDG), and the Philippine Water Supply Sector Roadmap and the Philippine Sustainable Sanitation Roadmap.

The Program specifically intends to: 1) increase access to water and sanitation services in the target areas,

and 2) reduce incidence of water borne diseases
