The composition of the Program Management Committee (PMC) for the Davao City Sustainable Livelihood and Entrepreneurship Program (DCSLEP) was reconstituted through an executive order (EO).
Mayor Sebastian “Baste” Duterte signed EO 65, Series of 2022, on November 15, 2022.
EO 65 provides that the new PMC of the DCSLEP shall be composed of the city mayor or his duly authorized representative as the chairperson and the Sangguniang Panlungsod Committee on Cooperatives and People’s Participation chairperson as the vice chair.
Member offices include the City Cooperative Development Office, City Veterinarian’s Office, City Agriculturist’s Office, City Social Welfare and Development Office, and Integrated Gender and Development Division of the City Mayor’s Office (CMO).
All PMC members are directed to name their respective alternate and permanent representatives.
The PMC is mandated to oversee the overall operation, implementation, and evaluation of the Davao City Sustainable Livelihood and Entrepreneurship Program; formulate and institute policies and procedures not covered by the said ordinance that prescribes the Implementing Rules and Regulations (IRR) of the various Livelihood Programs implemented by each Department, and approve all loans from various departments as contained in the said Ordinance and sign the Loan Agreement (LA) and all instrumentalities as needed.
It is also tasked to institute safety measures in the regulation of the trust fund accounts; grant condonation and/or amnesty to the beneficiaries in times of fortuitous event or force majeure that renders the repayment of a beneficiary impossible; cooperate and collaborate partnerships and networking with international, national and local government and funding agencies as well as non-government and private sector organizations in support of the program; and, provide alternative access to funds that will help target beneficiaries to start, sustain and expand their socio-economic enterprise.
