This study implemented a two-month seminar-workshop aimed at enhancing the capacities of 45 local stakeholders, including barangay officials and members of women’s and farmer associations. Guided by a multidisciplinary framework, the program addressed key domains such as leadership, financial management, environmental sustainability, policy formulation, tourism, digital literacy, business development and gender responsiveness. A notable innovation was the integration of Psychological First Aid (PFA) and Gender and Development (GAD) principles critical yet often underrepresented components in local governance training. Delivered by subject-matter experts using participatory and experiential approaches, the initiative promoted inclusive governance, ethical leadership, and mental health awareness. It significantly strengthened decision-making competencies and empowered local leaders as agents of resilience and sustainable development. The model offers a scalable and replicable approach to holistic, community-based governance capacity-building.
