August 29 - Meeting with SIKAP SHE Team. Kamustahan on activities, progress, and ways of working. SIKAP’s journey with SHE project was full of ups but with bit of downs that made SIKAP build its core competence on sexual reproductive health and rights. Salamat Oxfam sa mga pagdayeg ug pagdasig labi na sa technical guidance to clarify our concerns.
