The Local Government Finance and Development Project for the Philippines assists participating local government units (LGUs) in expanding and upgrading their basic infrastructure, services, and facilities and in strengthening their capacities in municipal governance, investment planning, revenue generation, and project development and implementation. It also enhances capabilities at the national level to provide technical support and long-term financing to local governments through the Municipal Development Fund (MDF). The project has four components. The LGU subprojects component expands, repairs, and improves basic infrastructure, social and environmental services and facilities. The second component provides LGU training and capacity building for 1) subproject development and implementation; 2) municipal planning, finances, and management; 3) improved training modules and delivery mechanisms; and 4) piloting of new programs including distance learning; LGU twinning; and collaboration with local governments, nongovernmental organizations, and the private sector. The third component supports LGU resource mobilization and monitoring the real property tax administration program; 2) new initiatives to improve creditworthiness and revenue generation; and 3) developing and implementing systems to improve monitoring of fiscal performance and local financial reporting and disclosure. The final component supports the MDF's reorganization and strenghtening.
