The Municipality of Cantilan undertakes the updating of its Comprehensive Development Plan (CDP) to ensure that local development directions remain responsive to the needs of the community and aligned with national policies and priorities. The CDP serves as a vital guide for the Local Government Unit (LGU) in setting development goals, strategies, and programs that promote sustainable and inclusive growth.

In line with the midterm updating of national and local plans, this activity provides an opportunity for local planners and stakeholders to review existing sectoral conditions, identify priority development concerns, and formulate appropriate interventions. It also ensures that the updated CDP reflects current realities and supports effective planning, budgeting, and implementation of programs for the Municipality of Cantilan.

The workshop aims to:

• Review and update the current situation and development priorities of the municipality
• Strengthen planning skills in identifying issues and formulating appropriate interventions
• Update the sectoral strategies and programs of the CDP
• Ensure alignment of the CDP with national policies and development frameworks
• Promote a participatory and inclusive planning process among stakeholders
