In forming a sustainable foundation of good governance, it is not enough to concentrate on developing the internal capacity of local governments. It is equally important to develop and strengthen partnerships with CSOs in order to empower citizens to articulate their needs as they participate in the decision-making process, program planning, implementation and monitoring at the local level, which can increase the responsiveness and efficiency of local governments in delivering services.
With this, the Department of the Interior and Local Government- Zambales Provincial Office, in partnership with the Provincial Government of Zambales facilitated the conduct of CSO Conference pursuant to the issuance of DILG Memorandum Circular No. 2019-72 dated May 22, 2019 entitled “Guidelines on Accreditation of Civil Society Organizations (CSOs) and Selection of Representatives to the Local Special Bodies (LSBs)” on August 16, 2019 at the Sangguniang Panlalawigan Session Hall, Provincial Capitol, Iba, Zambales.
