Zoom Teleconference – On January 22, 2025, the Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG) Regional Office IX-Project Development and Management Unit (PDMU) conducted a re-orientation on the Rapid Subproject Sustainability Assessment (RSSA). The activity was organized as an urgent response to the request of the Local Government Unit (LGU) of Zamboanga City for additional guidance to ensure effective compliance with the required data inputs and regular updates in the RSSA portal.

The Regional Focal Person for RSSA, Project Evaluation Officer (PEO) II Vivian J. Quiapo, led the re-orientation, with the support of the Provincial Engineer from Zamboanga Sibugay Province. Key participants included personnel from the DILG City Office of Zamboanga City, the City Planning and Development Office, and the City Engineers Office.

The activity proved to be a success, equipping the LGU representatives with the knowledge and tools necessary to enhance the sustainability of their subprojects and maintain accurate and timely data in the RSSA portal. This collaborative effort reflects DILG’s commitment to continuous support and capacity development for local government units.
