Mindanao Regional Policy Dialogue on AdvancingDRR–CCA Governance and Resilient Development
Where Policy and Leadership Meet Evidence‑Driven Local Action for Resilience
Aboutthe dialogue
Guided by the theme, “Where Policy and Leadership Meet Evidence-Driven Local Action for Resilience,” the Mindanao Regional Policy Dialogue is a high-level platform for examining how existing disaster risk reduction and climate change adaptation (DRR-CCA) policies are translated into action at the national and local levels. It brings together evidence, implementation experience, and leadership perspectives to identify practical policy directions that can strengthen DRR-CCA governance and support more risk-informed and disaster-resilient development.
Target participants
The Dialogue brings together national government agencies (NGAs), local government units (LGUs) in the Mindanao, development partners, academia, local resource institutions (LRIs), non-government organizations (NGOs), civil society organizations (CSOs), and the private sector.
Why it matters
The Philippines has made significant progress in developing policies, systems, and tools for DRR-CCA. The challenge now is ensuring that these are consistently translated into effective local action. The Dialogue provides space for decision-makers, practitioners, and technical experts to exchange perspectives and contribute to strengthening DRR-CCA governance and implementation.
What to expect
A day of policy discussions, institutional and local perspectives, leadership conversations, and collaborative policy development — moving from national policy directions and local implementation experiences to a policy co-creation laboratory where participants identify actionable recommendations. A few exhibitors will also be present, offering opportunities to learn about relevant initiatives, tools, and solutions supporting DRR-CCA and resilient development. Discussions culminate in reviewing and adding to the Resilience Manifesto, which will inform succeeding regional and national policy engagements.
