THE LGA MERIT

SYNERGY IN GOOD LOCAL GOVERNANCE

LGA collaborates for
an energy training
program for the LGUs

The LGA continuously strengthens its partnership with
various sectors in support of the capacity development of
the LGUs. On February 2, 2021, a partnership agreement
for the development and implementation of competency-
based training programs for the LGUs on energy efficiency
and conservation was signed.

The collaboration was a part of the Access for Sustainable
Energy Programme-Clean Energy Living Laboratories
(ASEP CELLs) project supported by the European Union.
Among the signatories were Dr. John Paul Vergara of the
Ateneo School of Government, Exec. Dir. Thelma Vecina
of the Local Government Academy, and Dir. Patrick
Aquino representing Sec. Alfonso Cusi of the Department
of Energy.

"Through this engagement, we will be with the LGUs
to promote and institutionalize energy efficiency and
conservation. We also hope that the day would come that
even the far-flung areas in the country will no longer be
troubled,” Exec. Dir. Vecina firmed.

EMPOWERMENT

INCLUSIVITY ON TOP

LGA puts premium
in gender and
development

The LGA supports the Gender and Development Program
by promoting inclusivity in its programs as well as tools.
It ensures that everyone can understand the message of
the activities like the Philippine Local Government Forum
2020 through having sign language interpreters. It also
recognizes the participation of the attendees and their
opinions on the activities. Moreover, the monitoring
and evaluation forms of the LGA encompasses the
consideration of persons with disabilities.
