NAMRIA conducted virtual and face-to-face fun run/walk, and face-to-face Zumba dance sessions and aerobic Tae Bo exercises on 01, 07, and 28 March 2023, respectively. The activities were three of the agency's several advocacy events for the 2023 National Women's Month Celebration, with the theme WE for Gender Equality and Inclusive Society. These activities were in support of the agency's efforts to attain national government priorities and outcomes in its gender and development programs. The officials and employees who participated in the five- and three- kilometer distance fun run/walk and submitted valid entries were awarded Women's Month 2023 Fun Run-Walk badges. Those who attended and completed the Zumba dance sessions, and aerobic Tae Bo exercises were awarded Cardio-Duo 2023 Zumba-Tae Bo badges. The advocacy events were organized by the NAMRIA Gender and Development Focal Point System (NGFPS) and facilitated by the NAMRIA Active Group.
