Prior to the reorganization, the Barangay Secretariat and the Barangay Affairs were the offices that primarily catered the needs of the various barangays in the City. Pursuant to Executive Order No. 5 of 1993 reorganizing the City Government Office of Davao, the main functions of the said offices were integrated and transferred to the newly created Barangay & Cultural Communities Affairs Division with a larger scope of functions and responsibilities.

The Office has two sections, namely, the Administrative and the Operation. Under the Administrative Section are the Records and Correspondence Unit, Payroll and Leave Benefits, and Property and Supply Unit. The Operation section is composed of Barangay Youth Affairs Unit, Cultural Communities Affairs Unit, and the Special Program Coordinating Unit. These sections and their respective composing units are committed to execute instruction, programs, and projects of the City’s Chief Executive.
