BRINGING THE NARRATIVES OF COHERENCE ON THE GROUND

Last May 14, 2019, the Local Government
Academy through its Assistant Director
Esmeralda Daphne N. Purnell, was invited
to present before the International
Conference Center at Geneva, Switzerland
on how local governments in Philippines
integrates coherent practices in the
implementation of various global
agendas in confronting the combined
impacts imposed by climate change,
rapid urbanization and environmental
degradation.

AD Purnell’s presentation provided
insights on the efforts to develop the
Decision Support Tool Kit in partnership
with the GIZ which will specify the non-
negotiable requirements in the different
process under the Climate and Disaster
Risk Assessment (CDRA) processes and
will specify the key data required for a
coherent planning process.

The DILG-LGA’s role in ensuring coherence
in localizing international agendas in
DRR-CCA, is likewise presented, provided
its role as the link between LGUs and
national government agencies and even
with international institutions.
