DILG Aurora, headed by Provincial Director, Atty. Ofelio A.

The activity catered a total of 41 participants composed of the technical staffs from Provincial Government of Aurora and Zambales together with DILG personnel from both provinces.
This training is one of the identified most needed capacity development intervention of the two provinces for FY 2019, as indicated in their Annual Reform Action Plan (ARAP). This ARAP is a section under the Provincial Governance Reform Roadmap (PGRR) which represents a one-year slice of consolidated plan of activities with clear objectives and deliverables, timelines, responsible office/ focal persons, budgets and support agencies.
PGRR is one of the innovative approaches of the Conditional Matching Grant to Provinces (CMGP) Program for FY 2018. CMGP is a governance and institutional program of the National Government on Local Road Management (LRM) and Public Financial Management (PFM) of the provincial governments. It is a partnership program between the Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG) and Department of the Budget and Management (DBM) to partly address the poor state of provincial roads across the country and to improve the capacity of provinces in LRM and PFM.
