Since 1992, health services in the Philippines began to be devolved under the 1991 Local Government Code (LGC) or Republic Act (RA) No. 7160. Some case studies have shown that civil society participation is crucial in improving devolved health service delivery in the Philippines. Moreover, civil society organizations (CSOs) have been instrumental in enhancing community participation in health service delivery. This paper goes a step further by arguing that partnerships involving the major national health agency con- cerned (in this case the Department of Health or DOH), local government units (LGUs) and CSOs leads to improved health service delivery and democratization. This tripartite partnership is crucial in devolution. This paper is organized into three parts. First, there will be a brief discussion of civil society participation in health service delivery before devolution. Second, there will be an analysis of the enabling factors for greater civil society participation and increased stale civil society partnership at the national and local levels in the area of health service delivery since 1992. Finally, there will be two examples of the working tripartite partnership in health service delivery at the local level. These are cases at the municipal level, the level of local government without much experience with direct health service delivery prior to devolution but now tasked to deliver primary health care.
