MinDA's Area Management Offices Convene for Midyear Assessment and Action Planning

In a proactive move to evaluate operations and prepare for the second semester, the Area Management Offices (AMOs)—interregional hubs operating under the Mindanao Development Authority (MinDA) came together for their Midyear Assessment and Action Planning session at Rudhil's Place in Mahayag, Zamboanga del Sur, on July 21–22, 2025.

The two-day activity brought together management personnel from four key Mindanao areas: Western Mindanao, South Central Mindanao, Northeastern Mindanao, and Northern Mindanao. Though diverse in their geographic coverage, the AMOs share a common interregional mandate to coordinate and implement MinDA’s programs across administrative boundaries, fostering collaboration and synergy for development in Mindanao.

Under the leadership of Director Olie B. Dagala from the Investment Promotions and Public Affairs Office/ Designated Head of AMOs, the session allowed teams to review accomplishments from the first semester, examine challenges encountered on the ground, and realign priorities for the coming months. Budget monitoring also played a central role, ensuring that resources are managed efficiently to support ongoing and future operations.

This midyear assessment contributes to MinDA’s broader commitment to its “Building a Better Mindanao” initiative. By strengthening interregional coordination and refining operational strategies, the AMO discussions directly contribute to this long-term vision of inclusive, sustainable development. The insights generated from the activity are expected to fuel the upcoming MinDA-wide assessment and action planning, aligning efforts across the agency for greater impact.

As Mindanao continues to navigate complex development challenges, the collaboration among AMOs showcases MinDA’s unwavering dedication to creating resilient, empowered communities throughout the region. #
