The Philippine Red Cross (PRC) Cebu Chapter conducted a stakeholder consultation with the Cebu City Government to present the results of its baseline study and proposed Community Action Plans (CAPs) under the REACH project.
The consultation brought together representatives from the PRC and key city government offices to discuss community needs, vulnerabilities, and proposed interventions identified through the baseline study conducted in Barangay Inayawan.

The baseline study, which was completed and presented to the City Government in July 2025, provided local data and identified priority needs and potential strategic interventions that could help strengthen community resilience. The PRC also noted that the approach could potentially be replicated in other barangays if the project outcomes proved successful.

The proposed Community Action Plans were developed with community members to translate the findings of the study into concrete and long-term interventions.

During the consultation, the PRC sought the City Government's guidance and recommendations to ensure that the proposed initiatives were aligned with existing city programs, priorities, and local development goals.

Representatives from the Department of Social Welfare and Development/Social Welfare and Development Office (DSWD/CSWDO), Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Office (DRRMO), City Planning and Development Office (CPDO), and other relevant city government departments participated in the discussions.
The engagement also served as a venue to review the draft Community Action Plans and explore opportunities for stronger coordination between the PRC and the Cebu City Government in addressing community needs.

The initiative reflects the shared commitment of the PRC and the City Government to promote evidence-based planning, community empowerment, disaster resilience, and sustainable development across Cebu City.
