In a statement yesterday, the DBM said the dashboard displays data on LGSF releases from fiscal year 2021 to present for the Support to the Barangay Development Program (SBDP) of the National Task Force to End Local Communist Armed Conflict (NTF-ELCAC), Support and Assistance Fund to Participatory Budgeting (SAFPB), Growth Equity Fund (GEF) and the Green Green Green Program.

The LGSF is a fund allocation aimed at empowering local government units nationwide. It is intended to support the implementation of each LGU's priority programs and projects within their respective jurisdictions under the General Appropriations Act (GAA).

"At DBM, we embrace digitalization and transparency. Anyone can use the dashboard which is now up and running in the DBM website," Budget Secretary Amenah Pangandaman said, LGSF fund releases can now be viewed anytime and anywhere with ease.
