2. IMPLEMENTATION

➢ Describe the complementation of the curricular/program and the extension projects/activities

The extension projects/ activities rendered by the program extentionists complement the curriculum. Faculty and staff of the
program under survey are heavily engaged in trainings and capacity building projects of the adapted barangays of the Isabela State
University. They are also tapped as lecturers and facilitators of the various projects like cream cheese cookies, butter cookies and
other products made of cacao that the Campus select as its pilot barangay where all the colleges shall converge in the delivery of
their assigned extension activities. Each College assigns an Extension Coordinator to assist the Dean in the implementation of the
college-based extension activities. Every faculty member involved with appointment is given an appropriate credit workload
equivalent to 6 credit units or a maximum of 108 hours per academic term.

Describe the process of development of the institutional extension program/agenda

Each Campus shall select its pilot barangay where all the colleges shall converge in the delivery of their assigned extension
activities. Each College assigns an Extension Coordinator to assist the Dean in the implementation of the college-based extension
activities. Every faculty member involved with appointment is given an appropriate credit workload equivalent to 6 credit units or a
maximum of 108 hours per academic term.

Funding of activities is charged to 5% of the supplemental budget of the Campuses. Faculty members who are under
loaded in instruction and research are given tasks and responsibilities in the program. The Dean is responsible for the
implementation and success of assigned activities in the program.
A quarterly accomplishment report is submitted to the Campus Extension and Training Office. After this, said the office
will consolidate all reports coming from the Colleges and submit to the office of the University Extension Director. The University
Extension Monitoring and Evaluation Unit is responsible for the overall monitoring and coordination of the program. There shall be an
annual review and planning workshop to be conducted by the University RDET. Pilot barangays are used as a social laboratory
for students of the university. An ISU-LGU MOA is forged before the implementation of the program. Each campus of the
university establishes its adopt-a-barangay site. The University must establish a strong linkage with other government agencies,
NGOs, and the private sector to generate resources to be poured into the adopted pilot barangays.

Describe the stakeholders’ participation in the formulation of the extension agenda

The program strongly recognizes that societal problems are not isolated - in fact, multifaceted and appropriately addressed
through the deployment of multidisciplinary teams in a collaborative synergy to ensure efficiency, innovation and productivity.

ISU extensionists and barangay officials undertake action planning to serve as a 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.
