20 villages in Maguindanao, Lanao del Sur provinces receive QIPs from Relief International, local civic group
COTABATO CITY – The Relief International (RI) and its
local partner, the United Youth for Peace and Development (UNYPAD),
awarded quick Impact Projects (QIPs) to twenty villages in the provinces
of Maguindanao and Lanao del Sur last weekend.
Maria Liza Dioneda, RI project manager, said the QIPs
included renovation of barangay health stations, water points,
installation of solar street lights, construction of multi-purpose halls
and livelihood support for women.
“It gives me
great pleasure to award the Quick Impact Projects, such as renovating
the public health centers that aims to bring health services closer to
the people, specially in these times of the pandemic when people’s
vulnerability has increased and timely care is crucial,” said Vrinda
Dar, RI interim country director in the Philippines, said in a
statement.
Dioneda said the QIPs include
construction of Civic and Peace Education Center in Calaan village,
Buldon town in Maguindanao which is co-funded by the local government of
said municipality.
“The infrastructure is
meant to promote constructive conflict resolution and peace building in
the area, noted for high cases of clan feuds or rido,” Dioneda said.
Rudy
Lumapinet, UNYPAD project coordinator, said each of the 20 villages
will receive P300,000 for its respective QIP which will start this month
and expected to be completed by January 2021.
“The recipient-villages will contribute labor and manpower in the implementation of the project,” Lumapinet said.

economic rehabilitation, development assistance, and program services to
