The National Economic and Development Authority (NEDA) will be conducting a workshop on the second week of this month to integrate the various aspects of the Mindanao Strategic Development Framework (MSDF).

The activity will be a follow-up activity to the MSDF workshop held June 30 at Cagayan de Oro City where the NEDA regional offices in Mindanao when directors of NEDA Regions 9, 10, 11, 12 & 13 met to discuss initiatives undertaken in the preparation of the MSDF.

"This document will become a basis for the formulation of a more detailed development plan for the island," said NEDA-10 Dir. Leon Dacanay, Jr. "The draft plan consists of seven (7) thematic chapters, including Basic Principles, Strategic Framework, Thematic Interventions, Peace-Building, Harnessing Partnerships to Improve Governance, Programs/Projects/Activities and Policy Agenda."


Dacanay said the development of the seven chapters has been distributed among the five NEDA Regional Offices in Mindanao and the Regional Economic Planning and Development Board (REDPB) of the ARMM.

"The draft outline assesses the initiatives already undertaken in Mindanao and recognizes the need for a more responsive decision-making on the use, allocation, management and development of resources," Dacanay said. "This outline is further proposed to speed up the process of adoption by which the MSDF shall proceed in accordance with Executive Order No. 757."
