Phasing of Full Assumption of Devolved
Functions, Services, and Facilities

This section presents the functions, services, and facilities to be fully devolve by
NGAs concerned to the LGUs, the phasing and full assumptions by the LGU of
the devolved responsibilities, and the implications of these fully assumed
responsibilities to the LGU development plans and targets.
Phasing of Full Assumption of Devolved
Functions, Services, and Facilities
Factors to consider in LGU decision-making:
• Development issues arising in the locality / priority needs of LGU constituents.
• Human resource capacity of the LGU to implement the responsibilities to be fully devolved.
• LGU fiscal resources to fund the responsibilities to be fully devolved.
• Availability of external technical support (e.g., NGAs, NGOs, academe)
