​Barangays can rely on CLRG to deliver capacity building programs that suit their unique role in local governance. CLRG recognizes the barangay's special nature as a governmental institution that relies mostly on voluntary work from the community. Our courses and seminars for barangays emphasize their importance as the most visible, day-to-day face of government in the Philippines.

The Center's courses for barangays aim to:

• Explain the crucial role of the barangay in overall area development
• Orient barangay officials on the technical aspects of government administration that are normally handled by career local government staff
• Familiarize barangay officials with municipal/city government policy and processes that affect them
• Offer models for collaborative and community-based governance practices
• Enhance the appreciation of the democratic space at the community level
