1.0 BACKGROUND
Local governments confront rising public expectations regarding the delivery of services.

Part of the FY 2017 LGSF is the Assistance to Disadvantaged Municipalities (ADM) Program, which seeks to equitably assist all municipalities in the delivery of basic services by providing financial subsidy to municipalities for the implementation of their priority programs and projects.
