Alliance Configurations of Inter Local Cooperation w All LGU or Natural Alliance – alliance is between and among LGUs of the same level, e. g. an alliance of municipalities or cities; an alliance of LGUs of different levels, e. g. provinces and municipalities note: this configuration adheres closest to Section 33 of the LGC with the LGUs coming together but not forming a new juridical entity
Examples of Alliances Formed through a MOA Alliance Membership Purpose Legal Basis Metro Naga Dev’t Council 1 city 14 municipalities Southeast Cebu CRM 4 Municipa Coastal lities Resource Mgmt. 1 Province Economic 7 municipalities Development MOA April 23, 1993 MOA, 2005 PALMA Alliance Economic Development MOA, 2004
Cont’n w All LGU Alliance with a new juridical entity – this configuration is created through congressional acts (RAs), presidential or provincial executive orders (EOs).
Examples of Alliances Formed With a New Juridical Entity Alliance Membership Purpose Metro Manila Development Authority (MMDA) 8 cities 9 municipa lities Urban RA 7924 traffic; waste March 01, disposal Metro Iloilo. Guimaras EDC (MIGEDEC) 1 PROVINCE 1 City 5 municipalities Economic Develop ment Legal Bases 1995 EO No. 559, Aug. 28, 2006
Cont’n w All Government Alliance ( made up of LGUs and national line agencies). Example: Lake Mainit Dev’t Alliance Membership: 2 provinces (Mindanao) 8 municipalities Purpose: Lake/Lakeside Mgmt. Environmental Protection Legal Basis: MOA, March 1999 RA 8978, Nov. 9, 2000
Cont’n w Public - Private Sector Alliance This configuration recognizes that development should involve all stakeholders as much as possible.
Example of Public Private Sector Alliance w Borongan Inter-Local Health Zone (Samar Province) Membership: 5 Municipalities (6 RHUs) Purpose: Integrated Health Services Legal Basis: Per EO 205, 2008
Legal Bases for Alliance Building w The 1987 Constitution (Sec. 13, Article X) o LGUs may consolidate resources, services and efforts for common purposes; o The aggrupation of neighboring local government units simply have to agree among themselves, with the consolidation limited only to “their efforts, services, and resources” and not in their corporate personality.
Cont’n w Local Government Code (Section 33) o Local government units may, through appropriate ordinances, group themselves, consolidate or coordinate their efforts, services, and resources for purposes commonly beneficial to them. o In support of such undertakings, the local government units involved may, upon approval by the Sanggunian concerned after a public hearing conducted for the purpose, contribute funds, real estate and equipment
Cont’n and other kinds of property and appoint or assign personnel under such terms and conditions as may be agreed upon by the participating local units through Memoranda of Agreement. ” w Local Government Code (Section 35) “Local government units may enter into joint ventures and such other cooperative arrangements with people’s and non-government organizations to engage in the delivery of
Cont’n certain basic services, capability-building and livelihood projects, and to develop local enterprises to improve productivity and income, diversify agriculture, spur rural industrialization, promote ecological balance, and enhance the economic and social well-being of the people.
Special Laws that provide Legal Bases for Specific Sector Alliances w The Philippine Fisheries Code for coastal and fisheries management; w The National Integrated Protected Areas System Act for protected area management; w The Ecological Solid Waste Management Act for Solid Waste management; w Executive Order 205 Series of 2000 for the establishment of Inter-Local Health Zones.
Scope of Basic Services of LGU Alliances w Preservation and enrichment of Culture w Promotion of health and safety w Enhancement of the right of the people to a balanced ecology w Encouragement and support to the development of appropriate and self-reliant scientific and technological capabilities; w Improvement of public morals
Cont’n w Enhancement of economic prosperity and social justice w Promotion of self-employment among their residents w Maintenance of peace and order w Preservation of the comfort and convenience of their inhabitants
Critical Legal Ingredients (CLIs) 1. Adoption of a Binding Legal Instrument for LGU Alliance Formation >The legal instrument that is commonly used is the Memorandum of Agreement (MOA)
cont’n 2. 0 LGU Concurrence to the MOA >This is done when the local chief executive, with authority from the Sanggunian signs the MOA and when the Sanggunian subsequently ratifies the MOA. >The local chief executives of participating LGUs must sign the MOA, which binds the LGUs to adhere to the alliance’s cooperative undertakings.
cont’n 3. 0 Mandatory Review of the MOA >This stresses the importance of regular review in order to fit the changing needs of the alliance. Hence this is required whenever there are substantive changes to the alliance.
cont’n 4. 0 Adoption of Joint Resolutions by the Alliance > This is to embody agreements and decisions of majority of the members of the alliance. >Aside from financial contributions, the joint resolutions will facilitate the sharing of staff, technical and related resources as well as demonstrate clear proof of consensus among alliance members.
cont’n 5. 0 LGU Ratification of Alliance Agreements and Decisions > The alliance requests the respective Sanggunian of member LGUs to ratify alliance agreements and decisions in order to assure smooth transition in the delivery of common basic services among member LGUs.
cont’n > Ratification is similarly required for any amendment of the MOA provisions as these might affect the intrinsic agreements or objectives of the alliance.
cont’n 6. 0 Harmonization of Policies by Member- LGUs in the Alliance > This is needed for implementation of common programs and projects of the alliances. > Upon agreement, LGUs in an alliance will adopt substantially similar policies to ensure coordination and consistency in policies within the LGU ALLIANCE.
con’t 7. 0 Creating Legal Mechanisms to Address Non- Compliance to the MOA >Alliances can create legal mechanisms for any controversy relating to the implementation of alliance policy, programs and projects. The alliance can use alternative dispute resolution mechanisms such as mediation, conciliation, and arbitration.

Inter-Local Cooperation (Part 2)
Critical Institutional Ingredients of LGU Alliances 1) The Alliance Champion who can: > get the stakeholders together; > initiate discussions regarding the formation of the alliance; > see through the process until the alliance is organized and gets the alliance going especially through its initial stages; > come from an LGU, an NGO, or a project
Cont’n 2. 0 A Common Base > prospective member-LGUs should have adjoining jurisdiction, shared ecosystem, and related services. The type of area and service management that the alliance wants to go into should be defined.

Cont’n 4. 0 Active Involvement of Local Chief Executives > when the LCE is already in the alliance, his /her day-to-day responsibilities in his/her own LGU might make it difficult for him/her to be fully active in the alliance.
Cont’n > this can be addressed by a number of measures such as permanent alternates, rotation of meeting venue, decision making by referendum, etc. ; > when there is a change in administration, the new LCE should be briefed at once and brought onboard the alliance at the earliest possible time.
Cont’n 5. 0 Implementing Structure > this is needed as the alliance goes beyond mere coordination and starts to undertake projects and services on its own to achieve its purpose. > there is no single prescribed structure but generally it should reflect:
Cont’n o complementation between visionary leaders and pragmatic managers; o local point-persons or counterpart teams if the alliance structure cannot be mirrored at the level of member organizations; and o personnel for operations, administrative support to operations, alliance secretariat services and linkage building.

Cont’n 10) Capacity to Adapt to Changing Conditions and Challenges > this is for the alliance to continue to be relevant; > to sustain the interest of members; & > to strengthen relations with partners and covered communities.
End of Part 2 THANK YOU FOR LISTENING
Inter-Local Cooperation (Part 3) Financial Ingredients
Critical Financial Ingredients The Philippine Peso and Other Currencies are Important
Critical Financial Ingredients Financial stability and sustainability is crucial in the success of the alliance. > An alliance is financially stable when it has funds sufficient to cover the cost of its operation. > To ensure sustainability, the alliance must have the ability to generate funds needed to perform its responsibility of coordinating the efforts of its members or in implementing alliance’s projects.
Cont’n 1) Commitment to Share Resources among Members > this commitment becomes binding when contained in a legal instrument for alliance creation such as the Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) and Executive Order (EO).
Cont’n 2) Use of An Accepted Formula for the Monetary Contribution of Members > the formula is discussed by members with consideration of each member’s capacity to pay; > contribution to the issues faced by the alliance; and > the expected share in the benefits from joining the alliance.
Cont’n 3) Timely Collection of Committed Funds Measures to encourage generous and prompt payments are needed at the alliance and LGU levels. > at the alliance level, these measures include provision of clear statement on the schedule of payments, giving reminders for payments, employing incentives, involving the local legislative councils, being careful with sanctions, and setting a realistic schedule of payments.
Cont’n At the LGU level, measures to encourage prompt payments include: > inclusion of committed funds in the annual investment plan; > maximization of the LGU taxing powers to be able to generate higher revenues; > and synchronization of the local budgeting with national budgeting, etc.
Cont’n 4) Sharing of Monetary and Non-Monetary Resources Aside from regular funds contribution, the other monetary contributions that member-LGUs usually make include: > payments for personnel detailed to the alliance; > travel expenses of LGU representativers to alliance-related activities;
Cont’n > payments for food when hosting an alliance meeting; > payments for utilities (electricity, telephone, internet service) in the alliance office. > aside from funds, alliances need human resources, office space, office equipment and supplies, etc.
Cont’n 5) Capacity and will to generate own Resources To ensure financial stability: > the alliance must develop the capacity to generate its own resources. For instance the alliances for local economic development can tap the LGU powers to establish local enterprises and public utility to generate additional revenue and increase sources of income.
Cont’n 6) Capability to Tap External Sources of Funds > accessing external funds requires skills in writing project proposals, knowledge of granting agencies, and lobbying for the submitted proposals. > to finance simpler projects, grants and support from the province, congressional funds and the national government are usually tapped.
Cont’n > to finance projects with bigger scope, the national government and international funding agencies are usually tapped. > Grants may also be sourced from private institutions including nongovernment organizations and private corporations.

Cont’n 8) Ensuring Proper Funds Management Arrangement > having a trustee LGU for government funds is safest for the alliance. > use of approved Guidelines in Fund Utilization
Cont’n 9) Use of Approved Guidelines in Fund Utilization > the guidelines are usually contained in the manual of operations.
Cont’n 10) Transparency in Financial Transactions > all financial transactions of the alliance must be accurately recorded. > reliable periodic financial reports to account for the use of the alliance funds must be generated on a timely basis for sound financial decision making.
