The Provincial Government of Lanao del Sur enters into a partnership with the Mindanao State University (MSU) System for research projects to uplift the lives of Meranaos.
The partnership was formalized through the signing of a memorandum of agreement by Governor Bedjoria Soraya Alonto Adiong and MSU President Habib W. Macaayong.
The signing, held at the Provincial Capitol in Marawi City on January 30, was also attended by officials from both MSU and the Provincial Capitol.
Under the agreement, MSU will design and supervise a Physical Scaled-Model of Lanao del Sur to rehabilitate endemic fish species in Lake Lanao in order to boost the agri-fishery industry and provide livelihood to the fisherfolks.
MSU will also conduct a Poverty Incidence Survey and Mapping of households in the province.
Provincial Governor Adiong said the collaboration with MSU reaffirms the strong partnership between the provincial government and the said institution.
She said thorough research of MSU would help her administration craft realistic policies, plans and programs to bring progress to the Meranaos.
She also thanked President Macaayong for agreeing to be a partner in her quest to achieve development and progress for Lanao del Sur.
President Macaayong said this partnership is historic as it is the first time that both agencies will work together.
Glad that MSU is extending a helping hand to the provincial government, Macaayong gave his full commitment to the fulfillment of the agreement. (PIO-Lanao del Sur/PIA-10)
