The results of this study including lessons learned and best practices in project implementation will be considered in the planning and/or project formulation process in the region by NEDA-RDC Davao Region for improved project design and implementation of similar interventions in the future.
The survey will be conducted in April 2018 in Region XI (Davao Region), specifically Davao City and municipalities of Caraga and Manay in Davao Oriental.
