Capability Building Support Program for Empowered Leadership and Organization
The project is a capability-building support program for MILCO. If control measures are set through this project, it will hopefully reverberate to other projects handled by MILCO in collaboration with its support groups. MILCO seems to be a perfect example of a top-down project approach that has required compliance among the people to realize the objectives of a supposed well-meaning intervention. However, capacities and internal organizational systems have not been built thus organizational troubles and mismanagement accusations surfaced. Though skills were built among officers and members, no strong leadership and organizational values were instilled. Financial policies and systems were not as well installed along with other basic organizational mechanisms i.e., implementing bylaws.

Project Characteristics and Results
Capacity - Building Component
Apparently, MILCO seems to play a very crucial role in the development of MaLuPa. With the support that it enjoys from outside, it has hidden potentials that could contribute to poverty alleviation in the area. It is the sole organization operating in the area. If the very basic effort of strengthening, installing systems, and developing the capacities of MILCO would not be addressed, organizational problems from where it currently suffers would certainly recur. If not arrested, this could become a cyclical pattern. To build the capacities of MILCO leadership and membership towards sound and effective organizational and project management is the main area that this project hopes to achieve.
Policy Impact
The project hopes to fill in the gaps of past interventions offered by various groups to MILCO. It hopes to implement internal damage control measures for and with MILCO by conducting the following: 1. Have a comprehensive analysis of MILCO?s community and organizational context;2. Develop and implement a series of interactive capability-building sessions that will promote personal and leadership formation, team and organizational effectivity, as well as create and improve awareness, knowledge and practice of project and organizational management processes; and 3. Set-up policies and mechanisms for organizational troubleshooting through intensive mentoring and modeling sessions. These activities are intended to capacitate MILCO to further handle greater responsibilities and various issues (actual and anticipated) confronting MaLuPa communities by virtue of its strategic location within the local developmental context of Real.
