Workshop 2: Optimizing mining revenues and alignment with SDMP for improved local development planning
This workshop will engage participants to compute the shares from national wealth of local government units (LGUs), particularly the barangay. They will also review the mining company’s Social Impact Assessment (SIA) report and Social Development and Management Program (SDMP) to propose a project that complements the SDMP and addresses unmet needs in the community without duplicating existing initiatives.

Workshop 4: Theory of Change: Long-term vision for the mining sector
This final workshop aims to develop a Theory of Change (ToC) for local communities building on the previous Visioning Exercise in Day 1. Participants will develop a Theory of Change by identifying medium-term results (5 years) and short-term actions (1-4 years) that will help achieve their long-term vision. They will also assign responsible stakeholders for each action and result. Inputs from all sectors will be integrated into one comprehensive theory of change by the organizers after the workshop.
