The PCW and the LGA signed a three-year partnership agreement that aims to elevate gender responsiveness in local governance.
PCW and LGA expressed commitment to work together in amplifying advocacy for gender equality and women’s empowerment for better and inclusive public service and sustainable development in the localities.
“We also hope to learn from the LGA as the capacity development arm of the DILG in the effective delivery of technical assistance to our LGU stakeholders,” Yuzon-Chaves added. “We commit to ensuring that our programs and services for local governments will not invite discrimination of any kind and leave no one behind. We commit to work in unity with the national government to ensure that our local government units become exemplars of women empowerment and gender equality and we will ensure that our local leaders will become champions of gender mainstreaming,” Vecina added.
