Local Government Development Foundation (LOGODEF)

The Local Government Development Foundation (LOGODEF), a Manila-based non-stock, non-profit organization, was established on March 21, 1989. We are a development organization and a major institutional partner of the Konrad-Adenauer-Stiftung (KAS) whose primary aim is to strengthen local authorities and promote local governance in the country hence the axiom “good governance is local governance". With our primary objective of promoting local governance in the country, we have been active in various interdependent activities of capacity building, research and development, as well as advocacy and lobbying. We do our work in close coordination with the various local government stakeholders in the country especially the leagues, the Department of Interior and Local Government, and other national government agencies with related functions and the policy-making bodies, including the academe and civil society.
