Flagship Training 1

Governance and Resolution Writing
Governance is the process of decision making and the process by which these decisions are implemented. The content and quality of barangay resolutions and ordinances would in the long term, be empowering not only to the individuals who make them but also to the communities that they are a part of. Grassroot-level governance is among the building blocks of Philippine society, an area so organic to the development of our national identity and yet not enough effort is put in to educate and empower elected leaders at this level.

Training objectives:
• Introduce the notion of good and effective governance to the participants;
• Familiarize the participants with the concept and spirit of sound resolution formulation, and –
• Foster participants’ creative leadership and strategic thinking through case-studies and hands-on workshop exercises.

Who should attend:
Ideal participants for this training are elected officials at the barangay level. And because governance and the process of drafting local resolutions and ordinances are at their core, participatory activities, other groups such as people's organizations and other community organizations can also avail of the training.
