Publication year: 
1996

This book provides an insight into the role that Non Governmental Organisations (NGOs) and People's Organisations (POs) play in local governance in the Philippines. It explains the features of the Local Government Code (LGC) of 1991, which serves as the foundation for the new relationship NGOs and POs have with local governments enabling communities to have a voice in the decision making processes of government. In addition, it describes modes of NGO and PO partnership with local governments, the principles of the partnership, local initiatives and referendum, the Recall Process, prospects and perspectives for the 1991 LGC, and it finishes with a review of the LGC.
