Mandating LGUs to allot 10% of their IRA will be a challenge

Published July 7, 2021, 12:36 PM Philippine Institute for Development Studies (PIDS) recommended against the proposal to mandate local government units (LGUs) to allot 10 percent of their internal revenue allotment (IRA) to the agriculture sector starting next year. “[Mandating 10 percent of the local development fund be allocated to agriculture and/or fisheries development] is not recommended since not all LGUs have agriculture and fisheries sectors,” said a study published by PIDS and was prepared by University of the Philippines (UP) Assistant Professor Justine D. Sicat. “[This] could lead to inefficient use of resources because of the crowding out of other priorities of such LGUs,” it added.

Too much expected, too little given to local governments in waste management — PIDS study

BusinessWorld June 10, 2021 | 8:35 pm DENR.GOV.PH WASTE management has been simply dumped on the shoulders of local government units (LGUs) while they lack resources, resulting in the poor implementation of the Ecological Solid Waste Management Act of 2000, a Philippine Institute for Development Studies (PIDS) report said. “Communities are passive. Barangays are heavily dependent on cities and municipal governments,” Sonny N. Domingo, one of the authors of the report, said at a webinar on Thursday. “Barangays are also given so much in terms of mandate and responsibility, but they are the least empowered in terms of capacity and resource.” The report undertaken with Arvie Joy A. Manejar looked into the implementation of Republic Act 9003 or the Ecological Solid Waste Management Act of 2000 through case studies.
