Perhaps more than anything, what this extraordinary second year of the project demonstrated, is its resilience. In 2020 Sahakarmi & SHEP proved that the community infrastructure they have built up as a result of this programme (and those that preceded it), works effectively, even in the face of a global crisis such as the COVID 19 pandemic.
Second year of the project operation has been progressive and collaborative despite the unprecedented situation created by the Covid-19 pandemic and the lockdown. The project has been able to strengthen collaborative and cooperative relations among citizens, Local Governments (LGs) and Province Government.
