As part of its mandate to formulate and implement national laws, policies and standards concerning local government operations, the Philippine Department of Interior and Local Government (DILG) has been working for several years with local governments to develop performance measurement and assessment tools to help local governments improve local governance and service delivery. DILG would like to strengthen the existing performance measurement framework to enhance local government development, improve access to and use of data by stakeholders, and provide input to national policy making on local government issues.
