Bulletin: Quarterly 07 Meeting (4)



Seven (7) months into the implementation of the project, the Community Organizers from LEAF, REACH, AID & SSOFHDEV and the specialists from the PMO converged in Davisol Beach Resort (Municipality of Lianga) on October 4 to 5, 2007 to commence the preparation of the Ist Semester Report of the project.

The 2-day activity was highlighted by the sharing of experiences of the participants, as individuals and as a team, in their community development work as well as the initial drafting of individual staff project progress report. The progress reports, which will subsequently inform the global semestral report of the project that will be submitted to InteRed and AECI, will bring to the fore the global and area level activities from April 07 to September 07. It will also serve as a source document in tracking the status of the interventions of the project, and the evolving outcomes, in the 12 areas. Informed by the learning from a previous project (the STIMULUS project), the personnel are dutifully trying to capture in the report the rich and enriching experiences they had encountered in the first 6 months of project implementation by including as much perceptible changes and improvements in the communities as they could substantiate.

Save for Pidong (REACH) and Boyax (PMO) who failed to join the activity due to health reasons, all the line personnel of the project were present.
