According to the DILG-BLDG’s Guide on the Review and Endorsement of LGUs’ GAD Plan and Budget and Review of LGUs’ GAD Accomplishment Report, one of the institutional mechanisms to monitor and evaluate LGU compliance amongst municipalities is the establishment of an LGU GAD Database. This is also being supported through Memorandum Circular No. 2005-01 in compliance to Executive Order 348 as well RA 7192 or “Women in Development and Nation Building Act”.

As stated in the mentioned Memorandum Circular, “In the pursuit of developing guidelines to strengthen the functionality of GAD Focal Points, there is a need to establish a database of such focal points. The data/information will serve as inputs in determining the kind of interventions to women empowerment and gender equality at the local level. The DILG in coordination with the National Commission on the Role of Filipino Women (NCRFW) shall establish and maintain the database of LGUs GAD Focal points.”
