The Provincial Engagement Strategy

Surigao Del Norte FOCAS remains steadfast in its

commitment to implement the program and sustain the

gains generated from the various community based

projects. Since the signing of the Memorandum of

Agreement (MOA) between Hassall & Associates

International (HAI) and the provincial government of SDN

in April 4, 2005, FOCAS operation has continued to

evolve.

SDN’s provincial engagement strategies are anchored on

its vision of significantly contributing to the over-all effort

of alleviating poverty through ecologically sound projects

that address coastal resource management and the

preservation of the Lake Mainit Ecosystem. The effort will

be guided by economically sustainable, gender respon-

sive and people-driven projects. Collaboration between

the Local Government Units and Line Agencies working

together with Civil Society Organizations will be the

distinguishing mark of this strategy.

The four strategic development FOCAS Clusters in the

province are geographically clustered, each with inherent

and distinct ecosystem:

• Hinatuan Passage Development Alliance (HIPADA)

• Siargao Islands Protected Landscape and Seascape (SIPLAS)

• Lake Mainit Development Allaince (LMDA)
