Three(3) major indicators are used in the determination of the councils' coordinative capacity. They are perception of common goals, leadership and the authority of both development bodies. As to the extent of goal attainment, the defined powers and functions of both institutions are compared against their actual performance in program/Project implementation It is found that the bodies play complementary and integrated roles in the planning and implementation of development programs and projects in Region XII. However, as coordinating bodies, they are not as effective as called for.
