The LGU Gandara, in partnership with Plan International, conducted a Post-Distribution Monitoring activity for beneficiaries of the Entrepreneurship and Employment Support Program. The activity aimed to assess how the assistance provided is being utilized and to gather feedback on its contribution to the beneficiaries’ livelihood and employment opportunities.

Through on-site visits and conversations with beneficiaries, the monitoring also provided an opportunity to identify their progress, challenges, and additional needs. The partnership remains committed to supporting sustainable livelihoods and creating opportunities that strengthen the economic resilience of individuals and families in the community. 💙🌱
