The Department, in coordination with the Decentralization and Local Governance Reform Advocacy Program – Project Management Office (DLGRAP-PMO), conducts the 2025 Regional Decentralization Conference: Building on Local Perspectives on November 13, 2025 at The Oriental Hotel, Legazpi City, Albay, to bring together diverse perspectives from resource speakers for a knowledge-sharing, and conference on decentralization.

This forum serves as a venue to discuss and address pressing local governance issues by providing inputs in developing and refining local government policies and decentralization initiatives.
With this initiative, the Department continues to strengthen and promote a responsive, accountable, and inclusive local governance through decentralization.
