GOOD GOVERNANCE GROUP

I am starting a new group in Facebook Messenger. It’s called “Good Governance Group” or 3G for short. My idea is very simple. It is going to be a meeting place of Non-Government Organizations (NGOs), Central Government Agencies (CGAs) and Local Government Units (LGUs). I have coined CGAs as a new acronym that will not sound like LGUs. By meeting place, I mean that it is going to be the apex of cooperation for the three sides to meet together and work together on real programs that will solve real development needs, mostly leading to meeting the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). We are going to distinguish between programs and projects. The programs will be the legal basis for creating the projects. No projects should be started if it is not part of a program. The programs will be pre-approved and funded by the provincial boards or the municipal councils. I am hoping that the NGOs will play a key role in developing and implementing programs and projects, by regularly attending the meetings of the provincial boards and the municipal councils. Actually, the laws provide for these NGOs to attend these meetings, often with mandated roles. Local officials of the CGAs should also attend these meetings. Hopefully, the same officials could attend all the meetings so that their participation would be consistent and sustainable. Find us in Facebook and join us. /IKE SENERES/09088877282/01-14-2024
