4. BEST PRACTICES

➢ Cite as many best practices as you can on Parameter D (Community Involvement and Participation in the Institutions
Activities).

A harmonious and collaborative program-community relationship is a major factor in the life of an
extension program. The community is invited to participate in the planning, implementing, monitoring and
evaluation of activities, as well as sourcing of funds and other resources. Cooperation and responsiveness
is evident among the college’s extension clientele.

➢ Adopt-A-Barangay Modality Program: A Community Outreach and Volunteerism Approach
In its desire to develop a more relevant and effective modality and strategy/approach, ISU has
conceptualized the “Adopt-A-Barangay Program/Approach” integrating the BIDANI model in 1999. The
program is an integrated, inter-college extension strategy/approach towards transforming selected
poor pilot barangay into a self-reliant, empowered, and progressive community.

➢ Gender and Development Program
Gender and Development Program is designed to recognize the equal contribution of women and men in all
aspects of development. The perspective involves searching for innovations that help transform unequal gender
relations into opportunities that equal and equitably benefit both men and women.

➢ Community Outreach and Support Services

This program aims to empower partner agencies by providing technical assistance, consultancy, and other

support services in the form of training, technology promotion, and production of IEC materials.
