Regional Local Governance Champion (RLGC) Seryeโฆ
With the upcoming Regional Local Governance Champion (RLGC) Assessment, the DILG Pastrana Field Office conducted a mock assessment and review of pertinent documents covering the different governance areas, in coordination with their respective LGU focal persons.
The activity aimed to assess the municipalityโs level of preparedness, identify gaps and areas for improvement, and ensure that the necessary policies, programs, accomplishments, and supporting documents are in place for the upcoming assessment.
The RLGC serves as a governance assessment and improvement mechanism that encourages Local Government Units (LGUs) to continuously strengthen their performance, accountability, transparency, and delivery of quality and responsive services to their constituents.
Among the governance areas reviewed were:
๐น Social Protection and Sensitivity
Demonstrate responsiveness to the needs of, and facilitate meaningful participation and engagement of, vulnerable and marginalized sectors of society, ensuring that their concerns are considered in local governance and development initiatives.
๐น Disaster Preparedness
Strengthen the LGUโs capacity to prevent, prepare for, and respond to disasters, whether natural or human-induced, and enhance the resilience of communities against various hazards and risks.
๐น Health Compliance
Establish, implement, and sustain health policies, programs, and interventions that promote public well-being, healthy lifestyles, and safety, while ensuring that all individualsโparticularly vulnerable sectorsโhave equitable access to quality health services without undue financial hardship, through an integrated and responsive healthcare delivery system.
