It is suggested that Provincial Implementing Units (PIUs) be established, with a similar composition and membership as the RLCC. Chaired by the Provincial Governor and co-chaired by the Schools Division Superintendent, membership will include representatives from the same sectors as the LCC and the RLCC, namely: education, information, provincial government planning, academe, provincial legislative/active body, and non-government organizations.
It is likewise suggested that a Technical Working Group (TWG) be created, composed of organic personnel of the provincial government, representatives from Sangguniang Panlalawigan, NGOs, GAs, volunteer groups, and other similar groups. The TWG may include the provincial planning and development officer, provincial social welfare officer, and training specialist/employment service officer.
However, if a similar mechanism exists in the Province, it is suggested that this be used and its functions expanded to include literacy concerns.
A secretariat is likewise recommended to be created to be responsible for program support work.
