In line with the call for LGUs to take the lead on disaster risk reduction and climate change adaptation, all 136 LGUs in Central Visayas will be provided with orientation / technical assistance on Comprehensive Development Plan (CDP) Formulation and Mainstreaming the Disaster Risk Reduction and Management (DRRM) and Climate Change Adaptation (CCA) in the CDP Process.

It is the LGU’s primary mandate to ensure the safety and security of its constituents. This mandate is further reinforced by the enactment of the DRRM Act of 2010 and the CCA Act of CY 2009 which put the local government at the forefront of mitigating and dealing with the impact of natural disasters and climate change. In order to effectively implement this mandate, it is imperative to mainstream the integrated concerns of DRRM and CCA into the local governance processes.

Program Outcome: Competitive and Business Friendly LGUs
