This technical paper looks at how Zuellig Family Foundation (ZFF)-supported cities and municipalities performed in the Seal of Good Local Governance (SGLG) Health Compliance and Responsiveness (HCR) assessments from 2022 to 2024, and compares these results with national performance.

Building on the provincial benchmarking study released in May 2025, this follow-up analysis helps ZFF better understand where its partner local governments are progressing and where more support is needed. The findings will guide future program strategies, strengthen collaboration with local government units, and support more responsive capacity development aligned with national priorities for Universal Health Care.

As we celebrate the Zuellig Family Foundation’s (ZFF) founding anniversary this September, we honor the values of Bridging Leadership—ownership, co-ownership, and co-creation—that continue to inspire change in our health and community work.

Through the I Am A Bridging Leader campaign, colleagues and friends share their reflections on what being a Bridging Leader means to them and how it has shaped their journey in building healthier communities.
