This work coordination meeting was held for the purpose of better coordinating the work of PNDS staff in regards to implementing the PNDS program in accordance with predetermined PNDS work plans. This meeting took place at the Lautem Municipal Administration Office (10/02/2015).
The coordinator of the Lospalos PNDS delegation, Delfim de Jesus, said that “this meeting is really important to enable staff from each post to transmit information to each other about the progress of implementation and difficulties that PNDS personnel are facing in implementation”. He added that: “The key to the successful implementation of the PNDS program is discipline and team work, therefore we hope that all PNDS staff will work together according to the existing schedules”.
This coordination meeting was attended by the Co-Chief/DGDL Mr. Miguel Pereira de Carvalho, and in his speech he said that : “The PNDS program is not the same as a project, rather PNDS is a program that comes from the government, and provides full opportunities to the communities to participate in development in general, and specifically in each village.
The PNDS program is based on the philosophy of improving socio-economic conditions and local governance for
women and men in the villages through funds that are directly allocated by the government to the village. We hope that after this program is implemented over an 8 year period we will see a significant change in the social-economic conditions of the community across the entire territory.
The Co-Chief/DGDL used this opportunity to request for the facilities to be well looked after in order to facilitate the work of the technicians in implementing the PNDS program, and he asked the staff to continue to work hard to enable the communities to participate in village development.
It is hoped that this coordination meeting will further strengthen the coordination of work in implementing the PNDS program across the entire territory.
