| Status of Implementation Progress (Outputs, Activities, and Issues) | The governments of Bangladesh, Indonesia and Philippines have issued no-objection to their participation in TA implementation. Under Output 1, a regional inception workshop was held in Manila on 22-23 October 2018, which introduced the TA to participating DMCs and relevant project stakeholders, discussed the objectives and proposed methodology for implementing Output 1, and came up with a tentative work plan for implementing Output 1. The preparation of country studies is ongoing. In Indonesia, a national consultation workshop was held on 1 March 2019 in cooperation with BAPPENAS to present the initial results and gather inputs for the study. The same workshop will be held for the Philippines country study on 29 March 2019. The National Economic and Development Authority (NEDA) organized the Multi-Agency Technical Assistance and Team Advisory Group (MATATAG) on 21 February to coordinate, monitor, and provide strategic direction on the implementation of the TA in the Philippines. The NEDA and the Housing and Urban Development Coordinating Council, co-chairs of MATATAG, signed a memorandum of agreement with other MATATAG member agencies during the NEDA Board Social Development Committee - Cabinet Level Meeting on 28 February 2019. |
