The SGLG is institutionalized to recognize exemplary performance of LGUs toward accountable, transparent, participative, and effective governance. As a reward, local government units are given the SGLG IF to deliver more services to the people toward significant improvements in their respective areas or responsibility.

Through the SGLG, the DILG is able to ensure that LGUs work hand-in-hand with the National Government toward dedicated public service that is always "Matino, Mahusay, at Maaasahan."
