Philippines and Germany Hold Triple Win Project Steering Meeting
BERLIN 18 December 2020 — With COVID-19 preventing the holding of the Philippines-Germany Triple Win Project’s 7th meeting this year, an intersessional engagement was instead mounted through a Steering Group meeting held on 09 December 2020, and led by POEA Deputy Administrator Villamor Plan for the Philippines side, and Federal Employment Agency (ZAV) International Relations Director Mr. Alexander Wilhelm for the German side. POLO-Berlin and the Philippine Embassy likewise participated in the meeting.
Among the topics discussed were cooperation in ensuring the welfare of Filipino nurses in Germany amid COVID-19 and plans to further enhance cooperation in 2021. The two sides agreed on the importance of helping interested nurses find decent work abroad, while simultaneously ensuring that the healthcare needs of both the Philippines and Germany are met.
The Philippines-Germany government-to-government healthcare employment cooperation program, better known as the Triple Win Project, is overseen by a Joint Committee Meeting that meets annually. END
