AFTER more than two years of hiatus from holding face-to-face didactic training, field exposure, action planning and implementation because of the pandemic, the South-South Cooperation (SSC) program of Indonesia and the Philippines has resumed these activities by sending a new group of Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (BARMM) high-level officials and technical staff, officials of the Commission on Population (PopCom) Central office and the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) and an NGO (nongovernment organization) representative to Bandung in West Java, Indonesia from Nov. 28 to Dec. 2, 2022.

This group participated in a program of activities that was organized by the Badan Kependudukan dan Keluarga Berencana Nasional (BKKBN) or the National Population and Family Planning Board.
