This document outlines the Department of the Interior and Local Government's framework for local government performance diagnostics, awards, and incentives. It describes several thematic performance audits that will measure different aspects of local governance, such as disaster preparedness, environmental protection, social services, economic competitiveness, and accountability. Local governments that pass these audits will be awarded seals in the relevant areas. There is also a Gawad Pamana ng Lahi award for good governance overall. The goals are to encourage more accountable, transparent, participative, and effective local governance across various sectors.
