Guided Self-Assessment on Local Environmental Governance (GSA) for the EcoGov Extension Period (2009-2011)

The Guided Self-Assessment on Local Environmental Governance (GSA) is a simple, quick, management tool developed by the Philippine Environmental Governance Project Phase 2 (EcoGov) that enables a local government unit (LGU) in an inclusive process with representatives of its constituents assess the status of its adoption of good practices in environmental governance. This tool was first used by EcoGov to monitor the performance of assisted LGUs in relation to its original target of improving the capacity of 80 LGUs to meet over-all good environmental governance index benchmark at the end of five years of its implementation in September 2009. Under its two-year extension period through September 2011, EcoGov aimed 20 more good performing LGUs, raising the cumulative life of project (LOP) target to 100 LGUs. Both targets have been met with 81 LGUs out of 86 that self-assessed in the final year of the base period and all 24 LGUs covered during the extension period able to achieve the benchmark over-all environmental governance index of 0.75.
