SOCCSKSARGEN’s fight against hunger and poverty gains more partners - An addendum to RMOU was signed

    On April 16, 2024, at KORONADAL CITY, South Cotabato -- The Enhanced Partnership Against Hunger and Poverty (EPAHP) in SOCCSKSARGEN expanded its partnership as it welcomes new members to its Regional Convergence Team (RCT).

    EPAHP RCT XII RMOU Addendum was signed - April 16, 2024, at KORONADAL CITY, South Cotabato

    Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) Regional Director Loreto Cabaya Jr., who chairs the EPAHP Regional Convergence Team, said the entry of the Philippine Rice Research Institute-Midsayap Branch (PhilRice-Midsayap), the Presidential Commission for the Urban Poor-Field Operations Division for Mindanao (PCUP-FODM), and the Philippine Information Agency Regional 12 to the partnership "marks a milestone."

    "These three agencies complete our rooster of troops," Cabaya said, emphasizing that EPAHP has gained partners that may serve as a spokesperson in public information campaigns and advocacy, ensure rice supply, and a conduit for reaching the marginalized sectors in urban areas.

    Together, partner agencies work to increase the productivity of farmers and fisherfolk and provide them, as community-based organizations (CBO), access to markets for their produce by supplying food product needs through supplemental feeding programs of the DSWD, Department of Education (DepEd), and National Nutrition Council (NNC), as well as requirements for meals for patients in hospitals, persons deprived of liberty in jail facilities, and similar end-users. “In the future, our CBOs may not only provide goods for government supplemental feeding programs but also cater to the needs of hospitals and display their produce in malls,” Ibrahim S. Sangcupan, Regional Program Coordinator of the EPAHP Regional Program Management Office XII said.
