Concordia of the PPP Center’s Capacity Building and Knowledge Management Service as distinguished speaker.
Director Concordia discussed the Philippine PPP Program and an overview of the project identification process. The training, organized by the DILG, aimed to equip LEDIPOs with essential knowledge and skills vital for fostering local economic development.
The capacity building activity features officials from the DILG, Department of Trade and Industry, Board of Investments, and PPP Center, serving as resource persons on national policies relevant to Local Economic Development (LED). LEDIPOs of Iloilo City; City of San Fernando, Pampanga; and Pasig City also facilitated exchanges regarding LED, good practices in establishing a LEDIP Office, and personality and marketing development.
Select participants were composed of LEDIPOs and LEDIPO-designates from local government units in CALABARZON, MIMAROPA and Central Luzon.
