The summit serves as a platform for various development, climate, and humanitarian stakeholders, including Local Government Units (LGUs), government agencies, civil society organizations (CSOs), community-based people’s organizations (CBPOs), the private sector, religious groups, and academic institutionsโ€”to engage in dialogue, develop a shared understanding of current challenges, clarify roles and mandates, and foster camaraderie and collective action.

ADRA Philippines, in partnership with UNFPA Philippines, is currently providing support for services related to sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR) and gender-based violence (GBV) in its partner municipalities across the Bicol Region.ย
