BENCHMARKING/CAPABILITY BUILDING ACTIVITY OF THE PUNONG BARANGAYS OF NUEVA VIDA, BOHOL

Activity Design

I. RATIONALE

The barangay is the smallest political unit in the country. It has the distinction of being the only local government unit that exercises executive, legislative and judicial powers and functions as provided in RA 7160. This placed the barangays in a strategic position to perform the critical role in policy-making, planning and delivery of basic services and facilities, administering barangay justice system and building partnerships with the various stakeholders working within the locality.

Consistent with the belief that growth at the barangay level is essential in nation-building and considering that barangays are vital partners of the national government in the pursuit of development, there is a need for the gaining of learning and insights of Punong Barangays as prime mover and managers of the barangay. There is a need for them to interact with fellow officials and learn from their experiences and best practices in order that such best practices and experiences can be replicated if doable in the barangay. Thus, this Benchmarking/Capability Building activity.

II. OBJECTIVES

• Gain insights on innovative programs and projects implemented by other LGUs that can be replicated;
• Have a venue for interaction with other barangay officials for the best practices on barangay governance;
• Promote social, cultural and political exchange and tie-up with other LGUs;
• Foster unity and solidarity with other LGUs in the pursuit of effective management capabilities in local governance and decentralization;
• To assess the extent and progress of the implementation of RA 7160 in their respective barangays through benchmarking.

III. METHODOLOGY
The activity would employ on site visit, interface, lectures/discussion, and observation tour.

IV. PARTICIPANTS
The activity would be participated in by the thirty-three Punong Barangays of the municipality of Nueva Vida.

V. DATE, VENUE AND POINT OF DESTINATION
The benchmarking will be conducted on July 5, 2010 in the selected LGUs of Luzon, specifically in the following areas with the following points of interests: agriculture program, entrepreneurship,

VI. BUDGETARY REQUIREMENTS

Local Governance Performance Management System (LGPMS) Version 2

2010-07-01T23:58:00.000-07:00

The enactment of Republic Act No. 7160, otherwise known as the Local Government Code of 1991 (LGC), ushers in a new era in Philippine local governance. The major policy shift from centralization to decentralization has resulted in a substantial devolution of powers and responsibilities to Local Government Units (LGUs) unparalleled in contemporary Philippine central-local relations.

Local Governments (LG) play a crucial role in nation-building. Their being close to the people makes it imperative to get them involved in facilitating national efforts in countrywide development. To make them effective partners in the promotion of local autonomy, community empowerment and economic recovery, the National Government (NG) must necessarily provide the administrative machinery to strengthen or improve their administrative, fiscal and technical capabilities. Local government administration at all levels (i.e. Province, City, Municipality, and Barangay) requires appropriate assistance and interventions to help them improve their performance of their mandated duties and responsibilities for which they are accountable to their respective constituencies.

It is in this context that the Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG), through which the President delegates the exercise of general supervision over local governments by virtue of RA No. 6975, must assist local authorities in order to respond more effectively in addressing the needs and aspirations of their communities. By implication, the Department assumes the lead role in the formulation and implementation of national laws, policies and standards concerning local government operations including the development of local government capabilities thereby ensuring efficient and effective performances of prescribed powers and functions.

Guided by the above-cited provision of law, the Department has developed the Local Governance Performance Management System (LGPMS) Version 2 which is a self-assessment and management tool for LGUs to help them identify development gaps for appropriate executive and legislative actions. The LGPMS version 2 is a consolidation of various performance assessment mechanisms for the last 20 years, developed and managed by the Bureau of Local Government Supervision (BLGS). It is a web-based system that has the ability to produce information on the State of Local Governance Performance, and the State of Local Development, using governance and development indicators.

This strategic and pioneering initiative brings to the fore the urgency of building a culture of performance which is highly essential in an environment of local autonomy; the imperatives of local government decisions and actions based on an organized, almost-real time information; and the exigency of revisiting the prevailing thinking in central-local relations. Admittedly, the LGPMS version 2 is a tool of choice for decision makers particularly those in the government sector.

In July 2010, the new set of local elective officials in the May 10 elections will assume office. Thereafter, these Newly-Elected Officials (NEO) will soon formulate their Executive-Legislative Agenda (ELA) which is a planning document that is mutually developed and agreed upon by both the executive and legislative departments of the LGU. As a plan, the ELA embodies the strategic direction of the LGU all throughout the entire term of office of its elected officials which shall contribute to the realization of the LGU’s long term vision. It is through the full utilization of the LGPMS results and information that the Local Chief Executive (LCE), Sangguniang Bayan Members (SBMs) and various stakeholders can better list down priority programs, projects, activities, policies and implementing mechanisms to be pursued by both the executive and legislative branches of the LGU.

It is important to note that a credible ELA cannot just be based on the limited perceptions and biases of a handful of decision-makers. It is not a mere wish list of Programs, Projects and Activities (PPAs) that only boost the names of the incumbent elective officials for their individual gains and advantage; rather, a good ELA is anchored on the real needs of the local community through development programs that are realistic, doable and sensible to the actual needs and aspirations of the constituencies. Utilization of the LGPMS data reports and information is imperative from problem diagnosis to solution to action.

The LGPMS version 2 offers a lot of benefits. With reference to local governments, it improves management and operations, it suggests ways to provide high quality public services, it improves planning, budgeting and the rational allocation of resources, it stimulates innovations and it strengthens the norms of transparency, accountability, equity and participation. More importantly, the use of the LGPMS ensures a more focused vision for the future.

It is hoped that the findings of this undertaking will make a positive contribution to effective and efficient administration of local government affairs by the incoming set of local elective officials. And it is equally hoped, much less desired, that this study will help increase citizen’s awareness in their role in uplifting the socio-political condition in the municipality. The MLGOOs further desire that the findings of this study will help promote citizens participation in local planning and decision-making processes, most especially in ELA and Comprehensive Development Plan (CDP) formulation.

Building the bridge to the future of local governance and autonomy is enshrined in the underlying principle of the LGPMS. This is indeed a significant and timely contribution to the Department’s continuing efforts to enhance the quality of local governance in the country.

The System on Competency Assessment for Local Governance (SCALOG)

2010-07-01T23:52:00.000-07:00

The System on Competency Assessment for Local Governance (SCALOG) is a self-assessment tool created and developed by the Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG) through the Bureau of Local Governance Supervision (BLGS) as a complementary tool to the Local Governance Performance Management System (LGPMS). While the LGPMS measures the Input and Output in the delivery of basic services, the SCALOG assess the Throughputs or process with the rationalization thrust on capacity building on the human capita to address competency gaps.

The SCALOG tool assesses seven organizational competencies, namely: organization and staffing; legislative support and other enabling mechanisms; transparency; management systems; participation; customer service and continuous improvement. It covers 14 service areas distributed over the five LGPMS performance areas. The indicators are classified into two categories: the compliance indicators and the best practice indicators. The former reflects conformity to the Local Government Code and other laws and regulations as well as other minimum basic requirements of LGUs. The latter, on the other hand, describe ways in which successful LGUs exhibit effective performance to include the innovative processes and practices that would serve as models along a given service areas. It describes the proactive initiatives of the LGUs to certain challenges on good local governance.

After having presented the LGPMS results and information to the municipal officials, department/unit heads, local functionaries and external stakeholders of the Municipality of Liloan, Cebu through the State of Local Governance Report (SLGR) for CY 2009, it was learned that the performance capacity of the LGU garnered a rating of 4.24 or an adjectival rating of High. It is hoped that through the presentation of this report, the operations management and the organization as whole of LGU-Liloan will be strengthened by implementing necessary capacity building initiatives to address the competency gaps identified in the findings of this tool and at the same time sustain its organizational strengths to showcase best practice/s and thus, achieve superior performance.

Sam R. Lloyd (1996) in his book Leading Teams: The Skills for Success said that that one way to increase productivity is to provide more training. Well-trained employees are more productive. Trainings not only help each team member grow and improve, the investment in training also communicates to the team that they are valued and important. When people feel valued by their employer, they work harder, produce more, and have a strong sense of loyalty (Lloyd, 1996).

However, the practice of capacity building for LGUs in the country reveals that individuals are often the focus of analysis and training is often seen as the answer to performance gaps or organizational change. A number of excellent local government practitioners have known from their own experiences and research findings that training is neither enough nor always an appropriate response. The problem may not simply be the lack of competent warm bodies but the absence of an organizational environment supportive of goal-focused and results-oriented performance. The latter is the main focus of organizational competencies. It must always be remembered that individuals do not perform in a vacuum; their ability to carry out their assigned responsibilities is deeply affected by the broader context in which they operate, e.i., the structures, processes, systems, culture, leadership, and management styles that govern their behavior.

With the May 2010 national and local elections, the conduct of the SCALOG assessment would be very timely for the new set of local officials to know the organizational competency of Liloan and therefore, determine effective ways to manage its internal stakeholders as this tool provides a broader, more holistic standpoint in determining capacity improvement needs.
