IOM Philippines collaborates with CatSU to empower communities, advance renewable energy

Consultants from the International Organization for Migration (IOM) Philippines met with Catanduanes State University (CatSU) President Dr. Patrick Alain T. Azanza to discuss project updates and opportunities for strengthening their collaboration, particularly in renewable energy solutions, September 13.

IOM's initiatives in Catanduanes encompass a wide range of critical areas, including comprehensive skills training programs, campaigns promoting safe migration practices, and the construction of robust and typhoon-resilient safe houses strategically located across the province.

These projects are aimed at uplifting local communities and enhancing their resilience to environmental challenges.

As a testament to their commitment to these projects, IOM plans to conduct extensive site visits to witness the direct impact of their initiatives and extend their courtesies to the recipient's offices, including the Catanduanes State University.

During the meeting, Dr. Azanza provided an overview of the university's people-centric projects.

These initiatives include EduKain, an educational empowerment program, and robust Typhoon response protocols designed to prioritize community safety.

Dr. Azanza also emphasized the innovative Solar Farm initiative, underscoring CatSU's dedication to sustainable energy solutions and environmental stewardship.

Following the productive meeting, several IOM representatives, including their expert in Solar Grids and related technologies, visited the Solar Microfarm in the university campus.  #ATugay
