Assists local governments to combat Corruption and improve public administration:

  • Transparency and Accountability
    The Transparency and Accountable Governance Program applies experience from successful USAID programs in other parts of the country to improve public service delivery in Mindanao. Focuses on increasing transparency and accountability at the local level, particularly in the ARMM.

  • Barangay Justice Service System (BJSS)
    Develops the capacity for alternative conflict resolution through the training of Barangay Justice Advocates and other service providers, thus giving marginalized and disadvantaged groups greater access to justice.

  • Community Policing - Works in selected municipalities of the ARMM to promote collaboration between the local government units, the police and the public in the planning and implementation of peace and order plans, and strengthen civilian oversight of the police.

  • Integrated Multi sectoral Capacity Building in the ARMM - Aims to build the capacities of regional and local government officials, and other important stakeholders like leaders of NGOs and the private sector in designing, planning and implementing development projects.
