CAMIGUIN (PIA)--To monitor and evaluate the capacity and performance of local government units (LGUs) on Local Road Management (LRM), the Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG)-10, through its Project Development Management Unit (PDMU) office, conducted the LRM Performance Assessment (LRMPA) to the Provincial Government of Camiguin, May 27.

The Province of Camiguin partially garnered a total percentage score of 45% both from its LRM capacity and performance elements.

The province was evaluated based on the updated 16 indicators of the Local Road Management Performance Assessment Tool (LRMPAT). The said indicators are given points between zero to four; zero, being the lowest, and four being the ideal scenario. Scores per indicator can be compared over time to see how the LGU progressed in each indicator from one period to another.

The conduct of the LRMPA is essential to more accurately identify the level of assistance on Local Road Management that shall be provided to an LGU.

Percentage scores garnered by the LGU will help the department and stakeholders identify specific areas in LRM where LGUs need support and will serve as the basis for formulating a capacity development strategy to improve its LRM capacity and performance. (DILG-Camiguin/PIA-10/ Camiguin)
