Message by the NEDA Regional
Director

The Calabarzon Regional
Development Research Agenda 2018-
2022 was formulated to be able to
respond to the policy requirements and
technological solutions contained in
the Calabarzon Regional Development
Plan 2017-2022. The document aims
to guide the academe and research
institutions to focus their research and
development activities based on the needs of the Region to spur
sustainable development and inclusive growth.

The Calabarzon RDRA 2018-2022 is based on the priority sectors of the
Region which include: 1) industry and services, 2) agriculture, hunting,
forestry and fishing, 3) infrastructure development, 4) social development,
5) governance, and 6) ecology and environment. These sectors are critical
that make Calabarzon one of the biggest economies in the country.

This document hopes to be a catalyst in advancing science and
technology, and promote innovations in the Region.

I thank all government agencies who contributed for the crafting of the
RDRA and invite all scientists and researchers to focus all research and
development efforts resulting to the socio-economic development
of Calabarzon.
