The Coordination meeting aims to introduce the possible projects that the local coalition is planning to implement in Barangay Canitoan. Dr. Maria Teresa Fajardo introduces the Digital Skills Training for OSYs, Skills Mapping for 18 - 60 years old, and the KOBO Skills Training for the 40 Youths where the 15 data enumerators as the skills mapper to be chosen. Engr. Mark Plaza presented their ongoing project "MAPASAKUNA" an Open Street Mapping project. Ms. Tat Gualberto introduced Action for Economic Reform and discusses the COLLABDeV project. Mr. Silao provided CHUDD initiatives updates and answered some homeowner association presidents' concerns.

The agreement reached in this meeting includes the conduct of KOBO training, digital skills training for OSY, and the skills mapping of the community on top of the mapping for resilience project. The coalition hopes to pursue more programs, activities, and projects for the community especially those that address the needs of the urban poor.

In preparation for the Field Mapping proper on September 5-6, 2022, the M4R Team will be conducting a workshop on Field Data Collection using KoboCollect on September 2, 2022 at the Cafeteria Function Hall, USTP-CDO.

This is in preparation for the upcoming Field Mapping under the M4R Project.
