THE ROLE OF THE

LOCAL GOVERNMENT
AND THE YOUTH
IN DEVELOPMENT
The local government is also called the
governments of the parts of a nation.
Its levels vary according to the political
pattern and experience of each and
every nation like the Philippines.

In unitary states like the Philippines,


the supervision over local
governments is done by the
national government.
National development is achieved
through an effective partnership
between the national and local
governments, each one performing a
service as an aspect of a function which
it can adequately perform.

The LGC devolves to all local


units the administration of five
basic services: agriculture,
health, social welfare,
maintenance of public works
and highways and
environmental protection.
What basic services and facilities were transferred
to LGUs as a result of devolution?

The PHILIPPINE YOUTH
DEVELOPMENT PLAN
2017-2022
The PYDP serves as the guiding framework for a
unified action among the youth and youth-serving
groups, agencies, and other institutions in the pursuit
of youth economic and social responsibility.

It defines the duties, obligations and accountability


of the national and local governments to address
the economic, social, cultural, civil, and political
rights of the youth.
Why is there a need for the
PYDP 2017-2022?
The PYDP enjoins all state duty bearers at the national and local
levels to maximize the participation of the youth in nation-
building as both responsible citizens and deserving beneficiaries.

Ultimately, it informs other development partners of the


rewarding social, economic, and ethical opportunities of fully
engaging the youth in their respective programs.

The National Youth Commission in line with its mandate “sole


policy-making coordinating body of all youth-related institutions,
programs, projects, and activities of the government” (Republic
Act No. 8044), is the main proponent of the PYDP.
