The two-day orientation program served as a valuable capacity-building exercise for the Commission. Participants actively engaged in sessions that provided in-depth information on the WSO certification process. Key topics covered included qualification requirements for WSOs, a detailed explanation of the documentations needed, and a thorough review of the evaluation procedures. This intensive training ensured a clear understanding of the certification process, allowing the Commission to confidently manage the upcoming One-Stop Shop.
The establishment of the One-Stop Shop signifies a substantial step towards streamlining the WSO certification process in BARMM. By centralizing the location for submitting and processing all necessary requirements, the One-Stop Shop is expected to considerably reduce wait times and lessen the administrative burden on WSOs seeking certification. This initiative will ultimately contribute to a more inclusive and empowered participation of women in the upcoming sectoral representative elections in BARMM.
