The Program Coordinator of Program for Local Economic Development through Enhanced Governance and Grassroots Empowerment (PLEDGE) currently implemented by the Bangsamoro Development Agency (BDA) attended an international workshop on entrepreneurship in Turin, Italy.
Julhaina Cadon, BDA-PLEDGE Program Coordinator, was among the international delegates who joined the training entitled Value Chain Development for Descent Work: Reaching Scale, Fostering Sustainability and Promoting Equity at the International Labour Organization (ILO)-International Training Centre, Turin, Italy on November 11-15, 2013.
Cadon leads the implementation of PLEDGE which primarily focuses on enhanced community ownership for sustainable livelihood and the development of human resources.
Still in the early phase of execution, PLEDGE program helps develop value-added chain on local products from the grassroots communities thereby increasing its quality and profitability and further aims to generate more employment opportunities.
Cadon shared in the training the BDA’s experience in implementing PLEDGE Program, “given that the communities being served are conflict-affected.”
Value chain development practitioners coming from different countries in the world attended the event which aims to empower small enterprises (SEs) to sell to more stable, higher volume or higher value markets.
Cadon related, “The workshop enables participants to share knowledge with partners and stakeholders about the value chain development principles and applications.”
In implementing PLEDGE, Cadon said “We have recently conducted values chain analysis and this training is very useful for the implementation of PLEDGE program.” The training is filled with workshops, lecture and experiences-sharing.
She further elucidated, “This contributes to the design and implementation of market driven value chain development projects using a participatory approach.”
PLEDGE is one of the components of the Mindanao Trust Fund Reconstruction and Development Program (MTF-RDP) administered by the World Bank, and ILO as its trust fund recipient (TFR).
The program is aimed on the creation of sustainable livelihood in communities enhancing community ownership through participatory approach and with enhanced support networks and services.
BDA continues in providing capacity-building support to its staff to become more effective “agents of change.” The agency, which was created in 2001, has been the lead entity working for the rehabilitation and development of conflict affected areas in Mindanao with the help of local and international partners.
At present, BDA also dwells in formulating the Bangsamoro Development Plan that will serve as a blue-print for the holistic development of Bangsamoro homeland to be implemented by the upcoming “Bangsamoro” a New Political Entity that will replace the ARMM.
