Inter-Agency/Indigenous Multi-Stakeholders Partnership I'M PART

The I'M PART LOGO above simply showed in the center WILING TO BE PART (I'M PART) PEOPLE WORKING TOGETHER FROM THE THREE MAJOR MULTI-STAKEHOLDERS WITH ICCs/IPs (INDIGENOUS PEOPLES) as MAIN ACTORS OF THE PARTNERSHIP. This is because they are the very reason why I'M PART was organized because of their difficult and their poorest-of-the poor situations that needed to be responded urgently as a fulfillment of their four bundles of rights.

Brief Profile of I'M PART

The Inter-Agency/Indigenous Multi-Stakeholders Partnership (I'M PART) is a Provincial Whole-Of-Nation (WON) Council/Convergence in the Province of Nueva Ecija. It was in May–September 2017 when the Indigenous Multi-Stakeholders Partnership (I'M PART) of Nueva Ecija was conceptualized and operationalized by Provincial Officer Dr. Donato B. Bumacas.

On October 29, 2021 was the formal launching of the Indigenous Multi-Stakeholders Partnership (I'M PART) during the PADIT-SUBKAL FESTIVAL of Nueva Ecija held at the NEUST Sumacab Campus, Cabanatuan City. This was attended by key officials including PCOO Usec. Atty. Anna Marie Banaag, NCIP Commissioner Atty. Basilio A. Wandag, NEUST President Engr. Feliciana P. Jacoba, and other provincial government officers.

During the International Day of the World's Indigenous Peoples (August 9, 2021) with the theme "Leaving no one behind: Indigenous peoples and the call for a new social contract", I'M PART was further enhanced to promote inclusivity. The re-launching was celebrated on October 29, 2021 during the National IP Day and the PADIT–SUBKAL FESTIVAL 2021 "AMING TRIBO NOVO ECIJANO".
