“Ang adhikain natin ay ang palakasin ang mga lokal na pamahalaan bilang aktibong katuwang sa pagpapaunlad ng bansa. Makakamit natin ito sa pamamagitan ng pagbigay ng dagdag na pondo, hindi bilang pampulitikang lakas o kaya pabor; ang magiging kundisyon natin ay ang kanilang maayos na pagpapatakbo sa mga programa o proyekto ayon sa mataas na antas ng husay sa pamamahala, pagpapabuti ng kanilang kakayahan sa pagkalap ng mga rekurso, at pagpapalakas sa kakayahan nila sa pagbigay ng kagyat na serbisyo.”

Assuch,wherespacesandopportunitiesareavailable,themarginalizedsectorsmustasserttheirpresenceandparticipateinthedecision-makingprocessestoadvancetheirinterestsandagenda.

OneexampleisinthebudgetformulationoftheNAPC.
