7. Integration into the National Budget
8. Provision of funding for LGU Counterpart
in local budget
26. Counterpart Requirements
Proportion of BuB plus
KALAHI-CIDSS funding to LDF
Required Cash Counterpart
Up to 100% of LDF 10% of LDF
Over 100% up to 150% 15% of LDF
Over 150% 20% of LDF
• For Municipalities: cash counterpart will be a
% of the local development fund
• For Cities: cash counterpart will be 40% of
the GB budget cap
27. Counterpart Requirements
(computation)
A. Municipality B (not part of KALAHI-CIDSS)
GB Budget Cap Allocation P15 Million
KALAHI-CIDSS Grant 0 Million
Total Funding P15 Million
Local Development Fund P 8 Million
Proportion of GB and KALAHI-CIDSS Funding to LDF:
= (GB Cap + KALAHI-CIDSS) / LDF
= 15 Million / 8 Million
= 187.5%
Required Cash Counterpart:
= 20% of LDF
= 20% of 8 Million
= 1.6 Million
28. B. Municipality A (part of KALAHI-CIDSS)
Grassroots Budgeting Budget Cap Allocation P15 Million
KALAHI-CIDSS Grant 5 Million
Total Funding P20 Million
Local Development Fund P15 Million
Proportion of Grassroots Budgeting and KALAHI-CIDSS Funding to LDF:
= (GB Cap + KALAHI-CIDSS) / LDF
= 20 Million / 15 Million
= 133%
Required Cash Counterpart:
= 15% of LDF
= 15% of 15 Million
= 2.25 Million
Counterpart Requirements
(computation)
29. C. City D
Grassroots Budgeting Budget Cap Allocation: P30 Million
Required Cash Counterpart:
= 40% of Budget Cap
= 40% of P30 Million
= P12 Million
Counterpart Requirements

31. Counterpart Requirements
Counterpart funding need not be allocated on a per
project basis.

100% funded by the LGU.
Projects to be funded by the LGU cash counterpart
should be determined by the LPRAT, effectively adding
it to the ‘Grassroots Budgeting Funding Pot’.
KALAHI-CIDSS will no longer ask for other cash
counterpart, however, additional non-cash counterpart
may be required

36. Variances in the Process

barangay assemblies (to be facilitated/ conducted by DSWD
KALAHI-CIDSS)
• ‘Enhanced’ Local Development Council
– CSO members:
• Barangay Development Council Vice-Chairs to be elected from
KALAHI-CIDSS volunteers (1 per barangay)
• 5 CSO representatives elected during the CSO assembly
– LPRAT to be created as a technical working group of the
Enhanced LDC
• With 10 members from government, 5 members from Barangay
BDC Vice-Chairs, and the 5 CSOs elected during the CSO
assembly
37. Variances in the Process
• ‘Enhanced’ Local Development Council to approve list
of priority projects prepared by the LPRAT
• List of projects to be submitted to also contain
KALAHI-CIDSS and LGU funded projects
• Planning process to be harmonized with crafting of
Comprehensive Development Plan
The first mode will institutionalize the LPRAT as a committee of the local development council. In situations wherein the local development council does not meet regularly or is not functional, the LPRAT may be constituted independently from the LDC.
