DISCUSSION HIGHLIGHTS
KDC Mission and Vision
- Consider revisiting the vision and mission, to account for new realities
- Consider thinking of “implementing rules and regulations” or IRR for specific strategies and programs
Strengthening the Network
- Consider how the network can be strengthened further, perhaps a foundation (?)

- Link with partners and projects in regions where there are KDCs
- Consider setting up more KDCs in regions that are not represented in the network
Common Projects of the Network
- Involvement in KALAHI - CIDDS
- Involvement in AAAA: Need to define concrete interfaces, the details the process. Some possibilities are: data gathering and analysis, consultations, appraisals, monitoring, evaluation, information sharing. Immediate next step: create a resource inventory. Make this information available in the KDC website or cross-links. The World Bank Philippines shall share TORs for the projects and information about the programs. A roster of professionals and competencies and school calendar shall be submitted to the World Bank by network members.
Creating Public Interest in Development Issues and Demand for Governance

- Involve KDCs in monitoring World Bank-supported projects

- Involve KDCs in data gathering and analysis (not to let go of data gathering, because there’s a dearth of professionals who can do this)
Using ICT for virtual knowledge sharing
- Already doing point-to-point videoconferencing

- Use this to share experiences in the KDC Network
- Tap the private sector in helping set up the necessary ICT infrastructure, for example, Globe, Smart, Ayala Foundation, etc.
