  2. to inform the public in general and women in particular on the actual amount that will be made available by the different departments in government on gender responsive projects as a result of the inclusion of Section 27 of the General Appropriations Act;
  3. to strengthen GO/NGO participation which is one of the commitments of the Philippines in the Beijing Conference held last September.

All government agencies are likewise enjoined to celebrate the Women’s Month (March) and to submit their list of activities by February 26, 1996 to the National Commission on the Role of Filipino Women (NCRFW) for consolidation and dissemination.
