Local Governance Summit 2024: ULAP and DILG Forge Pathways for a Bagong Pilipinas in Ph LGUs
The Local Governance Summit 2024, organized by the Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG) and the Union of Local Authorities of the Philippines (ULAP), convened over 4,000 local government officials and stakeholders at the Philippine International Convention Center on August 22-23, 2024. This year’s summit, themed “LGUs sa Bagong Pilipinas: Smart. Resilient. Driven.”, set the stage for local chief executives, elected officials, and other key players in governance to deliberate on critical innovations and strategies to advance local governance in the country.
The summit underscored the importance of local government units (LGUs) in achieving the national vision of a “Bagong Pilipinas,” or a New Philippines—one that is smart, resilient, and driven. The event provided a platform for sharing best practices, showcasing innovations, and discussing pressing challenges that LGUs face as they strive to improve public service delivery and meet the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
