The mayor said that this seminar aims to enhance the knowledge of women on gender and development and to address gender issues that affect women’s welfare. The seminar also helps the KALIPI presidents in the formulation of GAD’s plan using the Cluster Approach System wherein all issues and concerns regarding women in all the barangays comprising a cluster are given attention and action.
