A virtual meeting was conducted to reinforce the integration of Gender and Development (GAD) principles into the key components of the SPLIT Project, highlighting the agency’s commitment to improving project delivery through inclusive and gender-responsive approaches. The activity brought together key officials, staff, and other frontliners of the SPLIT Project in every component, both regional and provincial, facilitated by the CBTA Lead Coordinator, RCAO Joel Angelo M. Paler and the SPLIT Project GAD Focal Person, PARPO II Jaharah M. Mangompia-Linog, SCL, JD, to discuss focused on adopting more inclusive and gender-responsive approaches in the collection and management of data, ensuring that relevant information reflects the diverse roles and realities of stakeholders. Emphasis was placed on strengthening mechanisms that support more responsive planning and implementation across project components.

Moreover, integrating Gender and Development into the SPLIT Project strengthens the agency’s overall direction of promoting inclusive and sustainable rural development. By incorporating gender-responsive strategies in the planning, implementation, and monitoring of project components, the initiative enhances delivery while helping build more balanced and resilient communities. It goes beyond land distribution by ensuring that programs and services are accessible, responsive, and beneficial to all, especially those in underserved sectors.

This initiative is strongly supported at the regional level, reflecting a unified commitment to its effective implementation across all components of the SPLIT Project. With continued guidance and direction from the Regional SPLIT Project Manager, RD Zoraida O. Macadindang, Al-Hadj, JD, the activity aligns with the broader vision of ensuring that gender-responsive approaches remain a key consideration in advancing agrarian reform efforts in the region.

Overall, the activity marks a significant step in strengthening the integration of Gender and Development within the SPLIT Project, particularly in ensuring that data-driven approaches remain inclusive and responsive to the needs of all stakeholders. As the project continues to evolve, such initiatives play a vital role in refining strategies, enhancing coordination, and sustaining a more responsive and inclusive approach to agrarian reform implementation.
