Uniting for Local Autonomy, Converging National and Local Growth

The Union of Local Authorities of the Philippines (ULAP) is the umbrella organization of all leagues of local government units (LGUs) and locally elected government officials, and was formed in 1998, registered in 1999, and further endorsed through Executive Order 35, series of 2004.

Prior to its creation, ULAP was called the "League of Leagues", which played an important convening role for the local governments to lobby and develop the Local Government Code of 1991. ULAP was created to convene and represent its member leagues and local governments to national and sub-national policy and program committees in continuous pursuit of strengthening and capacitating LGUs for local autonomy and good governance.

55ULAP, in partnership with the Philippine Open Government Partnership (PHL-OGP) Steering Committee, DBM-Open Data Philippines, DOST-ICTO, Microsoft Philippines, Lee Kuan Yew School of Public Policy, National University of Singapore, PhilGEPS, PLDT Alpha Enterprise, Galing Pook Foundation, Ayala Foundation, Access Health International – Philippines, Civika Foundation, and 162 to 52 Coalition for Accelerating Collective Action towards Achieving Maternal and Child Heath, conducted a forum entitled “Innovative Solutions to Open Government Partnerships ver. 2.0” on February 27, 2015 at Microsoft Philippines Office, 8th Floor, 6750 Office Tower, Ayala Avenue, Makati City.
The networking event gathered partners from the government agencies, private organizations, and CSOs to link with LGUs for solutions targeted to increase capacities of LGUs on contributing to the achievement of the Philippines' Open Government Partnership Commitments.
