Our RISE-CSO-LGU team launched a training on Open Data Kit to help LGUs of Magpet and Tulunan last July 28 to 30, to teach them business tax mapping in their areas which will lead towards increase revenue collection.

In addition to this, a series of civil service organization (CSO) activities were also conducted which includes the approval of the 200,000 pesos LGU allocation to CSO Day implementation in all barangays and the turn-over of the training flipchart on Bridging Leadership for Participatory Governance to CSO Desk officer at Arakan.

These activities were implemented under our ‘Reinforcing, Instituting and Scaling Up Efficient CSO-LGU interaction towards Enhanced Local Governance’ (RISE CSO-LGU) Project together with PBSP, Mahintana Foundation, Inc., and the local government units of President Roxas, Antipas, Magpet, Arakan, & Tulunan, with funding from the European Union in the Philippines.
