On 22 March 2025, the Center for Local and Regional Governance signed a joint collaboration statement with Taiwan’s Citizen Congress Watch (CCW) and Kaohsiung Civil Servant Citizen Watch (KCSCW) where all parties committed to developing a, evidence-based scorecard tailored to monitor and assess Philippine local legislators’ performance.
The scorecard is envisioned as a tool to improve transparency and accountability, as well as monitor the performance of local legislators nationwide who comprise a large percentage of participants who join multiple training programs under the Center.
CCW has been monitoring and evaluating members of Taiwan’s Congress since 2008 through an open, transparent, and citizen-based scorecard system they developed. One of their local counterpart organizations–the KCSCW–also adapted a similar scorecard for the civil servants of Kaohsiung City.
The idea for this collaboration started from CCW’s first visit to CLRG on 04 February 2025 facilitated by visiting professor, Dr. Eing-Ming Wu. See: https://www.facebook.com/up.localgov/posts/pfbid02WTUe3kJatMmWB3JY49acJLL3inhTdwfC43ytptsrJSYP1WRr3c1eeXD7qpkE9hWrl
