It is suggested that each municipality establishes a Municipal Implementing Unit (MIU) to be chaired by the Municipal Mayor and co-chaired by the district supervisor or principal of the biggest school.
The suggested MIU composition is similar to that of the PIU, with representatives from the same sectors as the LCC, RLCC, and the PIU, as follows: education, information, planning, municipal government/ legislative body and non-government sector.
It is also suggested that a Technical Working Group (TWG) be established, with members chosen from the organic personnel of the municipal government. The TWG may include the municipal planning and development officer; municipal social welfare officer; and training specialist/public employment service officer.
Again, a secretariat is recommended to be created to take charge of program support work.
However, if a similar mechanism already exists in the Municipality, it is suggested that this be used and its functions be expanded to include literacy concerns.
