To further enhance the efficiency of the implementation of its programs and services, the Sustainable Livelihood Program (SLP) of the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) Field Office Caraga hosted a two-day Sulong Dunong: Knowledge Sharing Session cum Reorientation on Administrative Policies and Systems on October 10-11, at the Watergate Hotel, Butuan City.

The session convened administrative staff from SLP Provincial Operations Offices, Regional Program Management Office, mainstreamed administrative staff, along with the administrative personnel from the Walang Gutom Program and the Enhanced Partnership Against Hunger and Poverty. It is aimed to improve skills essential for efficient program implementation and streamlined document processing, collaborative planning and brainstorming, and replicate successful strategies across the organization through the sharing of best practices from various provinces.

The key topics discussed were record management, the use of the Enhanced Document Transaction Management System (EDTMS), and mastering the Property Record and Equipment Monitoring Inventory System (PREMIS). Participants also tackled the documentary requirements for contract renewals and catering payments, ensuring a smoother and more efficient workflow.

“The agency truly appreciates every one of you for your service and contribution to the outstanding performance of our office. Your dedication and efforts are invaluable and truly contribute to our goal of improving our services and program’s operations. May our unity and commitment to our mission continue to thrive,” said DSWD FO Caraga Assistant Regional Director for Operations Jean Paul Parajes.

The activity emphasized the critical role the administrative workforce plays in the implementation and their significant contributions to the overall success of SLP and other DSWD programs.
