This activity was packaged as a coordination meeting with external stakeholders to discuss potential collaborations and build mutual understanding. It began with presentations on the vision, mission, and work programs of each department/bureau. Then, it was followed by a Focus Group Discussion (FGD) to gather ideas and align perspectives in achieving the organization’s goals.

This benchmarking activity focuses on discussing the vision, mission, and goals of each organization, introducing the structure and management of each organization, and the role of each member within the organization. It also involves mutual discussion on effective strategies to achieve organizational goals, the challenges faced by the organizations, and potential solutions that are expected to serve as a basis of evaluating and monitoring the performance of each organization, ultimately leading to improved performance.
