c) The different colleges/branch campuses and the Extension Services
apply the different strategies for identifying the needs. These include
survey, focus group interviews, experts’ contributions, direct

participation of the target clients in the planning process, and the use
of secondary data.

d) Decentralization of the planning process shall start at the department
level. The colleges integrate all the planned extension programs of
their respective departments into one Research, Development and
Extension Agenda and Programs (RDEAP). There is a designated RD
and E coordinator at the department level (depending on the size of
the department) and at the college level. The college RD and E
Coordinator under the direct supervision of the Dean consolidates
and prepares the RDEAP.

Section 2. Formulation of Research, Development and Extension
Agenda and Program (RDEAP)

CvSU-RDEAP evolved through the following integrated and
participatory processes:

a. The university Research Development and Extension office conducts
planning workshop. Headed by the Vice President, The RDE
spearheads the formulation of the RDEAP through a workshop.
Participants in this planning workshop are the Deans of the different
Colleges and branch campuses together with their respective
Research, Development and Extension (RDE) Coordinators.

b. During the University planning workshop the thrusts of the University
are reviewed and revised. In this process, identification and selection
of research and extension thrusts are guided by the stated vision and
mission of the university/college/campus. Likewise, the Millennium
Development Goals (MDGs), national and provincial, municipal and
local development goals are considered.

c. The research, development and extension (RDE) thrusts resulting
from the latest (2004) RDEAP planning workshops include: poverty
alleviation, food security, primary health care and public health,
alternative medicine, cultural heritage preservation, ecosystem
management, energy conservation and utilization, institutional
capability building, information and communication technology,
infrastructure planning and design, bio-technology, industrial
technology, pedagogy/andragogy, gender and development, coffee,
pineapple, banana, kaong, makapuno, herbs and spices,
ornamentals, and urban agriculture.
