KALAHI-CIDSS starts Four-day Municipal Resilience Planning (MRP), PPAs Prioritization Workshop in Bacuag, Surigao del Norte
The Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) Field Office Caraga, through the Kapit-Bisig Laban sa KahirapanโComprehensive and Integrated Delivery of Social Services (KALAHI-CIDSS), is conducting a four-day Municipal Resilience Planning (MRP) and Prioritization of Programs, Projects, and Activities (PPAs) Workshop for the Philippine Community Resilience Project (PCRP) from September 7 to 10, 2026, in Bacuag, Surigao del Norte.
Held at the Womenโs Center in Poblacion, Bacuag, the workshop brings together members of the Municipal Resilience Team (MResT), Provincial Local Government Unit (PLGU), Area Coordinating Team (ACT), and Municipal Coordinating Team (MCT), with facilitation from the KALAHI-CIDSS Regional Program Management Office (RPMO).
The activity aims to consolidate findings from the Participatory Risk and Vulnerability Assessment (PRVA) conducted at the barangay level and translate these into municipal-level priorities that will guide resilience planning and PCRP investments.
During the opening session, participants worked on consolidating barangay risk maps into a municipal risk map and integrating Focus Group Discussion (FGD) results from farmers, fisherfolk, women, Indigenous Peoples, youth, persons with disabilities, and senior citizens. The group also reviewed PRVA findings and identified risks using prescribed planning tools, followed by presentations, open discussions, and prioritization of municipal-level risks.
The succeeding sessions will focus on formulating MRP objectives and key indicators and identifying priority PPAs, including their outputs, targets, schedules, and resource requirements.
Through this participatory process, the workshop will provide implementers with a consolidated and validated basis for identifying priority resilience interventions and corresponding resource requirements at the municipal level.
