AUTHORIZING THE CONDUCT OF FOCUS GROUP DISCUSSION ON THE JUDICIAL REFORM PROGRAM IN THE HALL OF JUSTICE OF LAPULAPU CITY, CEBU AND PARTICIPATION OF SELECTED COURT PERSONNEL THEREIN

As part of the information dissemination campaign for the Action Program for Judicial Reform (APJR) and the Judicial Reform Support Project (JRSP) under the World Bank, the Program Management Office (PMO) has scheduled Focus Group Discussions (FGDs) in the six (6) proposed pilot sites located in Angeles City, Imus-Cavite, Lapulapu City-Cebu, Bacolod City, Davao City and Cagayan de Oro City.

These FGDs aim to: 1) orient stakeholders in the six pilot courts on the APJR and deepen their understanding of the APJR and its implications; 2) mobilize commitment to implement and sustain the reform objectives and activities; 3) secure from the six pilot courts, confirmation of their engagement in, and commitment to, the objectives of the APJR, especially the institutional development component; 4) generate support to the APJR; and 5) validate the feasibility study on the proposed renovation/construction of the Hall of Justice, identify gaps (if any) and generate inputs to the finalization of the feasibility study.
