• The national government has declared that a clear way to achieve robust and long-term growth needed to create jobs and reduce poverty is through the creation of a business-friendly environment.
• LGUs play a pivotal role in providing the right atmosphere and business climate to encourage investors.
• Improving the governance landscape of an LGU would serve as strong platform for LGUs to become Sparkplugs for local economic development.
