NEDA Region 2 presented the Cagayan Valley Regional Development Plan (RDP) 2023 to 2028 during the 2nd Regional Convention of the League of Local Planning and Development Coordinators of the Philippines, Inc., (LLPDCPI) Region 2 Chapter on March 2, 2023 held at the Ilagan City Hotel and Convention. Ms. Ma. Gloria L. Daluddung, Senior Economic Development Specialist, presented the RDP to the League.

With the theme “Rebuilding and Reuniting our Development Process Towards a More Competitive Governance Amidst the Pandemic,” the convention is a gathering of all provincial, city, and municipal planning and development coordinators in the region. NEDA encouraged the local government units to take action towards achieving the shared goal of economic and social transformation for a prosperous, inclusive, and resilient society, by reinvigorating job creation and accelerating poverty reduction.

The Cagayan Valley RDP is the region’s overall blueprint in development planning for the next six years. It reflects the government’s socioeconomic policies, strategies, and programs in support of and consistent with the President’s 8-point socioeconomic agenda. The RDP is also aligned with the Philippine Development Plan (PDP) 2023 to 2028 and the Ambisyon Natin 2040, the country’s long-term vision for all Filipinos to have a matatag, maginhawa at panatag na buhay.

The RDP will be presented to the Regional Development Council 2 (RDC2) for approval. It will be uploaded at the NEDA Region 2 website on March 31, 2023.# NEDA2-PFPD
