As the LPMC Competency Certification Training Program prepares to welcome Batches 2 and 3 for Module 1, we take a moment to look back at the learning journey of our Batch 1 participants.

From LPMC in Module 1, to strengthening their project monitoring competencies in Module 2 and deepening their appreciation of participatory and accountable governance in Module 3, every module has been an opportunity to learn, reflect, and apply.

But beyond the topics, tools, and discussions, what matters most is what participants take with them from the learning experience.

Their stories remind us that capacity development does not end when the session closes—it continues when learning is brought back to the LGU and translated into better monitoring, stronger accountability, and more meaningful citizen participation.

The learning continues. The work continues. And the journey toward stronger LPMCs moves forward.
