The Role of the LocalGovernment inDevelopment
• The local government is also called thegovernments of the parts of a nation. Its levels vary according to the political pattern andexperience of each and every nation like thePhilippines. According to (Humes and Martin
1969), the state supervised units which canalso be described as “infra-sovereign” localgovernments do not have any aspect ofsovereignty.

The Role of theLocal Government
in Development
• In unitary states like the Philippinesthe supervision over local governments
is done by the national government.
• The UN defines local governments
as “political subdivisions of a nation orstate” (UN 1962); some authorities referto them as “parts” of the government ofa nation or state.

in Development• This entails assessment of the resources, leadershippotentials and administrative capabilities of the differentlevels of local government, which would be the basis for
determining the powers, functions and services to bedevolved to them.

The Role of theLocal Government
in DevelopmentOn Development
• National development is a good achieved through aneffective partnership between the central and local
governments, each one performing a service as an aspectof a function which it can adequately perform.
• The local government code (LGC) devolves to all localunits the administration of five basic services :
agriculture, health, social welfare, maintenance of public works and highways, andenvironmental protection. What this means is that theappointment of persons performing these functions intheir local areas is now done by the local chief executives. There salaries are also paid from local funds.

Revenue Generation
Local governments are authorized by law toimpose certain taxes to support their activities.However, their main source of revenue is theinternal revenue tax, which is shared by thenational government with them. The Code raisestheir share of these taxes from 20percent to 40 percent. It also modifies the sharing
schemes by providing for the following: 34 percentto the municipalities, 23 percent to thecities, 23 percent to the provinces, and 20 percentto the barangays.

- Internal revenue allotments (IRA) are also dividedaccording to other criteria: 50 percent by population,
25 percent by area, and 25 percent in terms of equalsharing. Local units impose the property realty tax, andmuch depends on their assessment and collectionefficiency. They also tax business. Cities and
municipalities impose the amusement tax. Barangayclearance is now needed before permits can be given bythe cities and municipalities for businesses.

Issues and Problems in
Decentralization•In the Phil decentralization is a strategy for developmentand democratization since the 1950s. This thrusts,however, have shifted over time. Decentralization in the
past focused on deconcentration (administrativedecentralization)
•Decentralization during the late eighties up to the presentfocused on devolution or political decentralization. Thegovernment had stepped up its decentralization efforts by
emphasizing devolution.

Issues and Problems inDecentralization
• Under the LGC responsibility sharing andauthority sharing, local governments weremandated to supplement or assist in the delivery ofthese functions.
• Decentralization changes have been made topursue development and democratization goals.
• Privatization is another area of decentralization. It
is a policy reform that disposes idle GOCCs. Its aneconomic and political benefit to nationalgovernment.
