a new beginning

USAID Philippines is implementing a 4-year policy reform project, aptly named LOCAL IMPLEMENTATION OF NATIONAL COMPETITIVENESS FOR ECONOMIC GROWTH or LINC-EG. With the aim to effectively assist local stakeholders, particularly in Mindanao in their respective efforts to increase investments, expand business activities, create more jobs and alleviate poverty, a Mindanao Field Office has been established here in Cagayan de Oro City.
