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.

60The Union of Local Authorities of the Philippines (ULAP), together with its partner Atikha, Inc. and the Provincial Government of Oriental Mindoro, conducted a Multistakeholders' Orientation in Oriental Mindoro province on March 6, 2015 for the project “Scaling Up Initiatives in Mobilizing Migrant Resources towards Agricultural Development". Various representatives from offices of the provincial government, NGOs, locally-based cooperatives, local colleges, and other sectors actively participated during the workshops and discussions.
Oriental Mindoro is one of the pilot sites of PinoyWise worldwide initiative on investments, savings, and entrepreneurship that ULAP implemented with Atikha in 2012. From 2015 onwards, the migration and development project will be scaled-up with the support of the International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD), to concretely mainstream migration and development in the local development plans of the various local government units in the Philippines.
