National Economic Development Authority-Cordillera Regional Director and RC-SDG chairperson Susan A. Sumbeling highlighted the significance of the participation of agencies in the planning.
“It is important to recognize that the achievement of the SDGs takes a multifaceted approach, encompassing diverse perspectives, expertise and resources, as we discuss and deliberate, I urge each of you to contribute your insights and innovative ideas” Sumbeling said.
“Through the collaborative effort, we can forge a realistic master plan tailored to our different units' needs and context,” she said.
Upon its approval by the Regional Development Council, the plan will be implemented and used in crafting policies, programs, and activities of various line agencies and local government units. (CVBT-PIA CAR)
