GAntimpalang Pang-LINGkod POOK (Gating Pook)

A program to recognize and inspire outstanding local govcrnmenl initialivcs The promulgation of lhe I 991 Local Government Code and the recent proliferation of civil society organizations at the local level have presented unprcocdented opportunities to promote good local governance. The challenges abound but lhe local officials have had little preparation, and in some cases insufficient resources, to properly respond to the changes required by the Code. Yet some local government units (LGUs) have found ways to work around the difficulties they have encountered, a feat that calls to be recognized. It is because of this that GAntimpalang Pang-LrNGkod POOK was created. Spearheaded by a National Selection Committee (NSC) and administered by the Development Management Program of the Asian Institute of Management (OMPAIM) in cooperation with the Local Government Academy (LGA), Galing Pook seeks to honor outstanding local government initiatives that have effectively addressed the pressing social and economic issues in their communities, with the end view of inspiring our local government officials to replicate or draw ideas from the successful programs. Galing Pook, made possible through support funds provided by the Ford Foundation and the Canada Fund, was conducted using a selection process and criteria designed by the NSC. Selection Process , The selection process started with either an application by a local govern- ment unit or a nomination. Nominators sent in lhe fonns to AIM who. in tum, sent preliminary application fonns to t.he nominated programs. Meanwhile, the nominators received acknowledgment leners. The programs which directly applied were sent Part I and Part 11 of the application fonn. These were evalua1ed for eligibility. The eligibility requirements were: a) al least one year in operation as of December 31, 1993 and have shown measurable results; and b) the program was initiated, administered and operated by a local government unit in the municipal, city or provincial levels. Qualified programs were invited to complete a more extensive application fonn that included a letter of endorsement from the chief elected 199< GALINC POOK AWAllOS
