comments:

CO-Manila agrees with the recommendation to continue and strengthen partnerships with regional and local government units, particularly LGUs of Kapalong and Asuncion. This will be pursued through the JP Digital PINAS , which already has a large number of committed training partners under the BBJS network who are awaiting for the JP rollout. These partners can support the institutionalization of project components like WISE, SCORE, and SIYB at the local level. Additionally, referring to the BBJS database will be key in sustaining these partnerships and tracking progress. While a few steps are still needed to finalize the database, its potential benefits are significant. WISE?

title:

Continue and strengthen partnership established by the project with the regional/local level partners either through other ILO projects or post-project collaboration efforts The project has clearly established a good impression in the LGUs of Kapalong, Asuncion and Barangay Lasang in Davao City. During the data collection, it was revealed that these LGUs have the potential to institutionalize any of the project components such as WISE, SCORE or SIYB. There is a favourable policy environment and these LGUs can ensure that there is fund allocation for this on the succeeding fiscal year. In Asuncion, a Women Training and Development Centre budgeted at 15 million PHP was given through the DTI funding allocation. There is also an Agricultural Development Centre being constructed. These are among the few local initiatives that can adopt WISE and SCORE. It is recommended that in future training on WISE for homebased and other informal workers, the Social Solidarity Economy (SSE) perspectives/principles should be included given that SSE is being promoted in social enterprises at the local areas.
