RDC’s information plan and P15 million report

The Regional Development Council (RDC), the regional policy making development body of the Cordillera region, currently implements information and education campaign for regional autonomy.

The IEC targets four sectors- general public, the youth and academe, government agencies, and other groups.

Capability-building activities will focus on empowering local authorities to effectively and efficiently deliver basic services to the people through improved generation of resources.

Local authorities would be given trainings on how to implement programs on areas of regional development, which include administrative governance, ancestral domain and natural resources, education, and resource generation.

The project steering, program monitoring, and evaluation are focused on improving the region’s tie-up arrangements with national agencies with the aim of formulating plans and programs on how to undertake limited autonomy on the local and regional levels.
