The University of the Philippines Mindanao (UP Mindanao) and UP Madayaw Multi-Purpose Cooperative (UPMMPC) signed a Memorandum of Understanding to formalize the collaboration in advancing and mainstreaming gender and development (GAD). The UPMMPC is a duly registered cooperative composed of UP Mindanao full-time faculty, administrative staff, REPS (Research, Extension and Professional Staff), and NGS (non-government service) personnel. Both parties agreed to cooperate in developing, designing, implementing, and evaluating GAD activities that would benefit the UP Mindanao constituents and its partner communities. The two parties had been working together for the past few years, but this is the first time that such collaboration is being formalized. The implementation of the MOU is specifically tasked to UPMMPC’s Gender Committee and UP Mindanao’s Office of Gender and Development (UPMin GAD). The representatives in the ceremony and exchange of MOU are Chancellor Larry Digal for UP Mindanao and Board of Directors Chairperson Jo-an Garcia for UPMMPC. Witnessing the ceremony are (L-R) UPMin GAD Staff Analiza Macias, UPMin GAD Coordinator Marilou Montiflor and UPMMPC Director Michael Gatela, Director Jackie Lou Tagubase, and Director Analiza Fulvadora.
