The Flagship Project of SAGE is Governance SIAD Style or GO SIADs.
The GO SIADs acronym points to the inspiring reality that the political leadership of the town has embraced the SIAD framework. It also harbors the strategic intention and hope that, once SIAD Zarraga is well on its way to becoming a societally-visible reality, other LGUs will also start adopting the SIAD governance approach, creating a cascading transformation in the landscape of Philippine politics.
This is not an empty aspiration. Already, local chief executives of LGUs and civil society groups within and outside the geographic region of Zarraga are already requesting assistance in drafting local laws (or resolutions) as well as technical assistance in order to advance SIAD in their area.
The overall objective of GO SIADS is to demonstrate how SIAD installation looks like on the ground in the case of one whole town and to ensure that this innovation in governance will sustain itself across different administrations to come.
