The Key Principles

Knowledge Management (KM) is

the over-arching framework of the LGRC.

Knowledge Management is a process that
involves the acquisition, storage, retrieval,
creation, sharing, use, application and
evaluation of an organizations explicit and
tacit knowledge in a systematic manner to
achieve organizational goals. KM is a core
process that will integrate DILG and the
communitys knowledge, tools, resources and
business processes towards local governance.

Multi-stakeholdership Participation

in LGRC is based on the belief that there

is no monopoly of knowledge and that
information should be shared and used to
promote efficiency, effectiveness, learning and
innovation in local governance. LGRC, also
believes that fostering community relationships
and strengthening networks and partnerships
in local governance is necessary in building
the culture of learning and knowledge sharing.

Convergence in Local Governance

There is a crucial need to harmonize various

initiatives in local governance within DILG
and beyond. The LGRC can provide the
mechanisms and processes that would
promote linkages, synergy and convergence
of different programs of DILG and other local
governance stakeholders across the regions.

Governance National Resource Center (LGNRC)
