Bangladesh delegation here to observe project PROMISE
A 20-man delegation from Chittagong province in Bangladesh will be in Dagupan City on September 6 to 7 to observe the implementation of the Program for Hydro-Meteorological Disaster Mitigation in Secondary Cities in Asia (PROMISE).
The two-day visit will give the visitors an insight into how the city is implementing project PRO-MISE, being only one of four pilot areas in Asia.
The visiting officials from Bangladesh are mostly city mayors and other officials.
Project PROMISE is a program on disaster mitigation funded by the United States Agency for International Development (USAID).
The visitors will be welcomed by Mayor Alipio Fernandez Jr. and Vice Mayor Belen Fernandez, along with city councilors, City Administrator Alvin Fernandez and department heads.
“We are very honored because these officials from Bangladesh are willing to take time out from a thousand miles just to come over here and learn from our experiences,” Mayor Fernandez said.
While here, the delegation will visit the eight pilot barangays of Project PROMISE, namely: Tebeng, Salisay, Mangin, Bacayao Norte, Bacayao Sur, Lasip Chico, Lasip Grande and Pogo Grande.
Dagupan City is the only Philippine city chosen to implement the Project PROMISE. #
