For 2018 SDG Seminar 1 were conducted for eight (8) regions, namely:
Region III, Region IVA, Region VII, Region XI, Cordillera Administrative Region
(CAR), Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (ARMM), Region VI, Region
V and National Capital Region (NCR). These were conducted successfully
through collaborative arrangements/strong partnership among DILG, NEDA,
PSA, PSRTI and all LGUs despite the absence of PSRTI regional and provincial
offices. DILG was tap to intensify the invitation to planning development
officers of various LGUs at provincial, city and municipal levels and for these
participants to actively participate in the seminar. PSA focal persons were also
invited to serve as resource persons on SDG overview and Data Ecosystem
while NEDA took a significant role in setting the tone of the event by
reminding the LGUs of their commitments in achieving the SDGs that are
embodied in their respective Regional Development Plans.
Each SDG Seminar 1 started with an opening ceremonies which includes
introduction of PSRTI as the lead agency in conducting the SDG Seminar 1, its
partner agencies and participants; and an overview of the seminar. Participants
were provided with flash drives containing pdf copies of all lecture materials,
excel file of the SDG matrix for city/municipalities as well as the SDG CBMS
indicators. For the workshop, the participants were grouped per
city/municipality to accomplish SDG Matrix per city/municipality, which
inquired about: data availability, frequency and data source per SDG indicator,
whether it is or is not monitored in their area, and where it is used for. All LGUs
were asked to submit the accomplished SDG Matrix per city/municipality.
Summary on SDG matrix submission per cities/municipalities by region is
presented in Table 1.
