It aims also to help the participants to understand how it differs from the Province Planning and Development Office (PDO).

Explaining the difference between the two offices, Father Alfred Maravila, the General Counsellor for Mission stated that importance of the Mission Office at the Provincial level aims to help the Province to achieve its mission of Evangelizing and its Pastoral activities while the PDO works as a technical office and the provincial structure to guarantee quality, efficacy, and efficiency of the provincial and his council’s management of the province’s strategic Plan.

The second objective of this meeting is to share the best practices on how to mobilize the Local Resources, it is also a good moment to share the success stories in different places where SDB are present.
