To support transition to full devolution, Section 10 of Executive Order No. 138, s. 2021, instructs all LGUs to formulate and prepare their Devolution Transition Plans (DTPs) to guide the transition in their full assumption of the devolved roles and responsibilities. All provinces, cities, municipalities, and barangays shall prepare their respective DTPs for the following purposes:

• To serve as the LGU’s roadmap to ensure strategic perspective, systematic, and coherent actions towards their full assumption of devolved functions and services starting in FY 2022

• To foster the alignment of priorities and complementation of resources to influence the design of the devolution transition activities of the NGAs concerned, and direct NGA support along the capacity requirements of the LGUs

• To leverage support from other governance stakeholders including NGOs, CSOs, POs, business sector, and academic institutions for cooperative undertakings particularly on the areas of capacity building, service delivery, and livelihood development

• To serve as guide in the monitoring and performance assessment of the LGUs by the DBM, DILG, and NGAs concerned
