PAGTANAW 2050 will conclude its three-part regional Training of Trainers with the Mindanao leg of SANDIWA: Building Regional Capacities in Futures Thinking for Indicators Development, scheduled on 11-12 February 2026 in Davao City.
Following the successful conduct of the SANDIWA workshops in the Luzon and Visayas regions, the final leg is being undertaken in collaboration with the Department of Science and Technology (DOST) Region XI, marking the culmination of a nationwide effort to strengthen regional capacities for futures-oriented planning and indicators development.
The activity forms part of PAGTANAW 2050’s broader initiative to institutionalize long-term, forward-looking approaches to development planning. It aims to localize the framework’s core assumptions by grounding them in regional contexts and translating national aspirations into actionable regional strategies.
During the two-day workshop, participants from the DOST Mindanao Region will engage in guided discussions and hands-on foresight exercises focused on mapping institutional clusters and operations, localizing key indicators, and conducting scenario-building and backcasting exercises across the 12 Key Operational Areas of PAGTANAW 2050.
By the end of the training, participants are expected to strengthen their institutional foresight capabilities and develop forward-compatible strategies that contribute to inclusive, resilient, and sustainable national development.
The SANDIWA workshop series is facilitated by the UP National College of Public Administration and Governance (UP NCPAG) – Governance Futures Lab (GFL). — Cherry Palaran/NAST PHL
