Xavier Ateneo contributes to regional and national policy dialogues that address poverty in all its dimensions. The university, represented by key officials of the university’s Social Development cluster, participated in the 2024 Stakeholders Conversations on Migration, Environment, Peace, and Development (MEPD) organized by the Mindanao Migrants Center for Empowering Actions, Inc. (MMCEAI).

This partnership seeks to influence policies on migration and livelihood, particularly for overseas Filipino workers (OFWs) and their families, ensuring that marginalized populations are included in governance and policy-making processes. By engaging in these dialogues, Xavier Ateneo affirms its role as both an educator and an advocate for just and humane development across Mindanao.
