The second Mindanao Policy Research Forum will open the Development Policy Research Month celebration in September.
A policy forum on “Nurturing Resilient Communities in Mindanao towards Sustainable Development” will be hosted by Philippine Institute for Development Studies (PIDS), Mindanao Development Authority and Father Saturnino Urios University at the FSUU in Butuan City today.
A lunchtime press conference on the same day will discuss the DPRM 2016 theme of “Investing in Risk Reduction for a Resilient Philippines.”
Undersecretary Janet Lopez, executive director of MinDA, will tackle “Fostering Partnerships with Academic and Research Groups for Mindanao’s Sustainable Development.”
PIDS Senior Research Fellows Dr. Celia Reyes will discuss the massive study evaluating the design, implementation and impact of the crop insurance programs being delivered by the Philippine Crop Insurance Corp.
Dr. Danilo Israel will reveal the results of the impact evaluation of the National Greening Program and will reveal whether or not it has effectively achieved its objectives.
In the afternoon, FSUU will present its disaster reduction and risk management initiatives. Resource persons from Caraga Sate University will present their study on the Comprehensive Land Administration and Information Management System.
The presentations will be followed by a broad lineup of discussants, which includes people from different sectors—private, government and civil society.
The PIDS’ Socioeconomic Research Portal for the Philippines team will talk about the open access agenda. SERP-P coordinator Mark Vincent Aranas will show how to use the knowledge resources in the SERP-P.
The DPRM has been celebrated across the country every September since 2003 in view of Malacañang Proclamation 247 to promote policy research in the formulation of sound development plans, programs and policies. The proclamation designated state think tank PIDS as the lead government agency in the yearly observance.
