ACTIVITY DESIGN

Workshop on the Formulation of the

Executive-Legislative Agenda for 2022-2025
July 26-30, 2022
Davao City

1.0 Background and Rationale

The formulation of an Executive and Legislative Agenda (ELA) stemmed from the need to
translate the local government unit’s (LGU) medium-term development plans into doable short-term
plans aligned with the term of elected local officials. The three-year ELA is mutually developed and
agreed upon by the executive and legislative departments of the LGU. As such, it contains the major
development thrusts and priorities of both the executive and legislative departments, with due
reference to the City’s Development Plan and the City’s Comprehensive Land Use Plan.

The ELA serves as an instrument that will prioritize responses to multi-stakeholder needs,
translated into programs, projects, activities, legislations and capacity development programs, to put
into action strategies in the local development plans.

The ELA serves as a planning and budgeting tool for it provides a three-year development
roadmap for the LGU; a performance management tool that provides a basis for ensuring that three-
year LGU programs, projects and legislative measures are implemented and are producing the desired
impact; a communication tool that allows elected officials to present and articulate their political
agenda; and a convergence tool that encourages collaboration between the executive and legislative
departments.

The Department of Interior and Local Government directs LGU’s to come up with the ELA within
the first six (6) months from assumption into office of every local administration. As such it also runs in
consonance with DILG-NEDA-DBM-DOF Joint Memorandum Circular No. 001-2007 which provides for
the harmonization of local development planning, investment programming, revenue administration,
budgeting and expenditure management.
