The LCP offers and implements wide range of urban development programs to its member-cities. The LCP has been engaging funding agencies, national government offices, the civil society partners, business/private sector, and the academe in the implementation of noteworthy programs and projects.
An added-value in the LCP-initiated programs and projects is its point of entry – through the local chief executives. The city mayors’ full support enables the program implementation to work efficiently at the city level. This includes among others the sustainability mechanisms both in local policy and practice through integration into the local development agenda and provision of budget.
Buy-in from the other local chief executives and city-to-city mentoring remain important processes in the project implementation. Critical and collaborative support from the other local officials, city department heads, and stakeholders also complement the program strength. The LCP Secretariat, often as the program and project management office, exercises ownership and further capacitates its technical and administrative staff.
Below are the LCP programs and projects:

LCP CITY DATABASE During the 2016-2019 LCP National Executive Board (NEB) Strategic Planning, members of the NEB have envisioned to develop its own database – a consolidation of comprehensive pertinent local government data ranging from demographics, economic activities, local revenue, education, environment and natural resources, peace and security, and local best practices, among others. The database will be available online and made accessible to cities in a user-friendly format through the use of data visualization and information technology. Through this initiative, local data will be made available to key stakeholders such as the city government, researchers, and development partners in a form that is easier to understand. It is a response to the current issues confronting local governments – inaccessibility of local data that are usually shelved in offices, lack of consolidated data at the city-level, and the challenge in understanding and interpreting data. LCP will play an important role in bringing the consolidated data back to its source – the cities themselves and underscore the importance of utilizing and visualizing data.
