Derived from the PPD-POA, approved and endorsed by President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. through MC No. 40 signed on November 14, 2023, and endorsed by the National Economic and Development Authority (NEDA) Secretary, Dr. Arsenio M. Balisacan, the RPD-POA served as a guiding framework.

The outlined strategies leveraged on demographic opportunities while mitigating challenges, ensuring the well-being and prosperity of Caraga region's residents across all age groups.”

Additionally, RPEB-Caraga endorsed the Regional Communication and Development Plan for 2023-2028, underscoring the commitment to transparent and impactful communication. Originating from insights and deliberations involving RLAs and local government units (LGUs), this plan harmonized communication strategies across regional and local levels.
