The Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG) Region 3 in partnership with the Local Government Academy (LGA) conducted LGU/LDC Capacity Building Program: Closing the functionality gap and gearing up for more dynamic LDCs on November 20-21, 2018 at Maharajah Hotel, Angeles City.

It was participated in by the DILG Region 3 officers, Municipal Mayors, Municipal Administrators, Municipal Planning Development Coordinators and CSO representatives.

The activity aims to develop an LDC that is participatory, efficient and effective by orienting the LGUs on various facets of LDC functionality as well as the processes, tools and activity designs to enable them to address particular LDC functionality concerns of their Municipalities. It also served as an avenue to enumerate the LDCs’ mandates, roles, functions and compelling reasons for improved functionality, determine the presence and status engagement of the non-government sectors vis-avis policy covering CSO participation in LDCs and draw a Plan of Action to strengthen the LDC of their respective LGUs.
