DSWD-6 Director Rebecca Geamala is hoping for a stronger partnership with the National Commission on Indigenous Peoples here.
Geamala said with the partnership, services for the Indigenous Peoples would be better and efficient. “DSWD and NCIP should be in honeymoon stage forever.”
The director made her statement in the recent 1st DSWD-NCIP Joint Regional Technical Working Group Consultation Meeting.
The consultation meeting aimed to up
date DSWD and NCIP on the current status of the programs implemented by both agencies in IP communities here.
On the other hand, NCIP Regional Director Ana Burgos thanked the DSWD for the services and assistance they have provided to NCIP.
“I would like to say thank you for the services that you have done to different indigenous cultural communities. This is a kind of partnership wherein passion for serving our client is born. ” (DSWD/Kalahi-CIDSS SMU)
