CSF adds to the roster of programs and projects of the Academy to strengthen institutional capacities and readiness of National Government Agencies and Local Government Units with regard to the development and implementation of their programs and services. It seeks to support and complement the efforts of the government agencies and LGUs in (a) creating smart and innovative ways in responding to development challenges, (b) adopting a foresight approach in development planning, and (c) improving data analytics capability across various sectors.

CSF focuses on interventions that are related to data science and analytics, technology and innovation, smart city initiatives, digital transformation, futures thinking, and sustainable development goals. These key areas are viewed as critical components of the future organizational management and governance.
