Civil Society Organization (CSO) Engagements-Related Policies
The participation of CSOs in government processes is a vehicle of empowering citizens by giving them opportunities to articulate their needs and to take part in the decision-making processes of their respective LGUs. An active CSO participation is vital in the pursuit of a more participatory and responsive governance.
The Department has issued several policies that provide opportunities for CSOs to engage in the implementation of government programs and to participate in the national and local governance processes. Some of these policies are: DILG MC No. 2018-89 (Guidelines on Engagements with CSOs), DILG MC No. 2019-72 (General Guidelines on Accreditation of Civil Society Organizations and Selection of Representatives to the Local Special Bodies), DILG MC No. 2020-135 (Mobilization of Civil Society Organizations in the COVID-19 Related Response and Recovery Programs of the Government), and DILG MC No. 2021-12 (Establishment of Civil Society Organization Desk and Institutionalization of People’s Council in the Local Government Units) which was amended, hence the issuance of DILG MC No. 2021-054.
