PAGADIAN CITY, May 20 - - A Regional Stakeholders Consultation on
the Transition Investment Support Plan (TISP) for the Autonomous Region
in Muslim Mindanao (ARMM) is slated here on May 22-23 at Ocean View Hotel.
Ms. Yasmin Busran Lao, Presidential Assistant for Muslim
Concerns and National Program Manager of TISP for ARMM said the TISP is
an PhP
8.59 Billion fund for programs and projects intended to fast track key
development initiatives and reforms in the Region.
Ms. Lao said a critical
component of this Plan is to mobilize the private sector to ensure
transparency and accountability in the implementation of these programs
and projects.
This 2-day activity will bring together
representatives of over 60 Civil Society Organizations (CSOs), primarily
to discuss their role in working with the government on the TISP.
Representatives of the various implementing agencies, at the national and
regional level, have also been invited to dialogue with the CSOs. (ALT-PIA9/Zambo
