The Department of Science and Technology (DOST) Capiz formalizes its partnership with Junior Chamber International (JCI) Makawiwili through the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) on April 16, 2026, at DOST Capiz, reinforcing collaborative efforts toward inclusive, science-driven community development.
The MOU was signed by DOST Capiz Provincial S&T Director Juafe M. Abareles, JCI Makawiwili President Eliza Mae C. Capa, and Executive Vice President Jenny Villamor-Altavas, marking a shared commitment to participate in collaborative activities centered on Gender and Development (GAD).
The partnership aims to integrate science, technology, and innovation into GAD-related initiatives, focusing on empowering women, promoting gender equality, and supporting inclusive community programs. Through this collaboration, both institutions seek to develop and implement activities that enhance skills, create opportunities, and address gender-based challenges using evidence-based and sustainable approaches.
JCI Makawiwili, an all-female chapter of JCI Philippines in Roxas City, empowers women and young leaders through community service, skills development, and sustainable projects, while fostering professional growth and lasting positive impact within the global JCI network.
The signing at DOST Capiz highlights the role of innovation spaces in fostering collaboration and enabling meaningful initiatives that contribute to social development.
This partnership is expected to pave the way for future activities aligned with DOSTโs mission of delivering science and technology solutions for inclusive, sustainable development, reinforcing the shared vision of empowering communities through gender-responsive initiatives.
