Strategies of Implementation

3.Participatory Planning

ISU extensionists and barangay officials undertake action planning to

serve as guide for projects that would accomplish the goals of the barangay.
The planning takes off from the component areas tackled in the workshop.
Officials of the LGU especially the Municipal Planning and Development

Council (MPDC), Municipal Agricultural Officer (MAO) and Municipal Human
Resource Officer (MHRO) are invited as resource persons/facilitators for the

planning. After a series of planning workshops facilitated by university officials,
it is expected that a Barangay Integrated Development Plan (BIDP) is
formulated and presented to municipal officials and other government agencies.

This is a way of getting commitments as well as strengthening linkage with
them. Projects that are approved in these processes are expected to become
more implementable and sustainable.

4.Trainings

Training needs shall have been identified during the planning stage. The

whole training program shall be packaged and implemented by the university
with the participation of all experts from the colleges. Various trainings such as
livelihood development, technology skills, leadership and values formation shall

be implemented by the colleges under close coordination and supervision of
the university extension department. On-site training is preferred to reinforce
actual learning and ultimately the adoption of a particular appropriate

technology and practices. Cross-visit to other extension-related projects are
undertaken to gain more knowledge and are programmed based on needs.
