Different line agencies of the ARMM and
various humanitarian organizations operating in the ARMM and Cotabato City
participated in the Coordination Meeting-Orientation on Information Management
and Community Engagement, July 13.
The ARMM's Humanitarian and Emergency Action
Response Team (HEART) and the United Nations Office for the Coordination of
Humanitarian Affairs (UN OCHA) conducted the meeting-orientation at the Office
of the ARMM Governor in Cotabato City.
Director Ramil Masukat, designated ARMM
disaster risk reduction officer, said Information Management and Community
Engagement aims to bring together key actors to develop an effective and
coordinated mechanism for accessible sharing of information with people before,
during and after emergencies, and ensure communities' meaningful participation
in the process.
On the other hand, Mukhtar Farah, head of UN
OCHA sub-office, said Communication with Communities is a very important tool
that improves humanitarian responses to the needs of communities who have been
displaced either by natural disasters or conflicts.
