Since 2015, the Department of the Interior and Local Government Regional Office 02 provided a forum which threshed out issues and concerns of Middle Managers, specifically the Cluster Officers to successfully implement Programs, Projects and Activities in the field. Thus came the concept Cluster Officers Forum For Effective and Efficient (COFFEE) DILG RO2.
This year, the conduct of COFFEE was strategically conducted in partnership with the Civil Service Commission on Equipping Human resources with CSC Updates to Boost performance (EHUB). Hence the conduct of COFFEE cum EHUB on June 21-22, 2018 Blue Coast Beach Hotel, Sta. Ana, Cagayan.
