The Barangay Newly Elected Officials (BNEO) Towards Grassroots Renewal and Empowerment for Accountable and Transparent (GREAT) Barangays Program is a term-based capacity development program for barangay officials. Being term- based, the program runs for three years or more, subject to the extent of the term of the officials. The program is designed in recognition of the extensive role of the barangays in delivering basic services to their constituents, and at the same time, acting as the link between the national government and the people. With this enormous expectation from the barangay, there is a need to provide capacity development interventions for the barangays and barangay officials, especially because most of them have limited capacity in performing their mandated tasks and responsibilities.

Generally, the program aims to capacitate the newly-elected barangay officials to enable them to perform their mandated tasks and responsibilities and build a continuum of capacity development framework for actions anchored on the basic tenets of good governance such as transparency, accountability, and integrity, and participatory governance and corruption free communities.
