Fresh from Department of Interior and Local Government (DILG) declaration of Bohol Province as best governed in the country based on 2011 Local Governance Performance Management System (LGPMS), Gov. Edgar M. Chatto shows no signs of letting up as he demands improved performance for service delivery.

Department of Health (DOH) Asec. Pauline Jane Ubial presented at Thursday’s Provincial Local Health Board meeting the 2011 LGU scorecard performance results validated by the DILG.

The scorecard tracks progress of national health reforms implementation and measures the performance of LGUs. It shows 27 indicators that are included in the service level agreement under the Provincial Investment Plan for Health.

Chatto said the special meeting of the local health board which also convened municipal chief executives was really intended to bring to municipal level the national performance indices for health.

The monitoring and evaluation of national health programs implementation is an effective tool for LGUs in the prioritization of health programs in their respective municipalities, he stated.

Chatto seeks to translate the performance indices into action plans to improve delivery of health services to the Boholanos.

“Our benchmark is ourselves, our competition is ourselves”, he added.

A new performance management system to measure performance of each employee is also set to be implemented in offices at the Provincial Government.

On Friday, Gov. Chatto joined Provincial Engineering Office employees at a workshop and orientation on the performance management system.

He underscored importance of infrastructure as a tangible tool for development and recognized the crucial role of the PEO as the frontline office in the pursuit of this goal.

Bohol had been declared best governed province in the entire country based on LGPMS results from 2010 and 2011.

The LGPMS, a web-based tool managed by DILG evaluates the performance of Local Government Units (LGUs) in administrative, social, economic, and environmental governance in terms of good governance principles of transparency, participation, and financial accountability. (Leah/EDCOM)
