Towards sustainability of the project, members of the camp project support team (CPST) of the Mindanao Trust Fund-Reconstruction and Development Project Phase II (MTFRDP/2) facilitated the updating of the operation and maintenance (O&M) for the people’s organizations (POs) in the community-recipients of the project this week of April 15, 2019.
