State of Local Governance Report

This is formerly called Annual Accomplishment Report in which the Local Government Unit (LGU) is mandated to submit to the Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG) in March of every year. 

The contents of the State of the Local Governance Report (SLGR) is based on the Local Governance Performance Management System (LGPMS), a web-based system developed by the DILG - Bureau of Local Government Supervision, and implemented in 2006.  It serves as a robust on-line national information system on local governments. It is a self-assessment, management and development tool that enables local governments – provinces, cities and municipalities – to determine their capabilities and limitations in the delivery of essential public services. 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.

As a self-assessment tool, LGPMS has the ability to assess performance and state of the development of an LGU using sets of indicators.   A benchmark and scaling system are used to measure performance and state of development.   An External Benchmark is utilized to compare and appraise local government performance and state of development based on standards, national average or targets.  An Internal Benchmark is used to evaluate current year performance as compared to performance in previous years.
