COTABATO
CITY - City Administrator Dr. Danda N. Juanday attends a meeting with the
International Labour Organization, an international NGO specializing in
providing technical assistance to communities in Cotabato City and the ARMM by
conducting livelihood trainings to its constituents, on Monday, September 5,
2016.
The
ILO, headed by its Enterprise Development Specialist Mr. Hideki Kagohashi, is
soliciting valuable information from several stakeholders regarding how they
can help in developing the value chain of priority industries in this part of
the country.
This
organization can provide training assistance to existing industries so that
they will be able to strengthen their marketing skills and connect to
institutions that can help for their further improvement.
The
Programme for Local Economic Development through Enhanced Governance and
Grassroots Empowerment (PLEDGE) is the arm of ILO that conducts the livelihood
programs and has already started in some communities in the ARMM. They are
providing trainings in the production of food and non-food products that come
from local resources.
Dr.
Danda, in his message, emphasized the need for the prioritization of the HALAL.
Stakeholders from Cotabato City and in the ARMM must help one another in
promoting Halal industries and products.
He
seeks the help of the DTI and other government agencies like the DA to really
make the move in pushing for the integration of Halal in the priority projects
of the government wherein not only the Muslims can benefit from, but also the
Non-Muslim communities of the country. (HALIMA K. SATOL IBRAHIM/MINDANAO
