C. OUTCOMES

➢ Present manifestation that the Extension Program is adequately funded

Types of extension funds according to financing arrangements are classified as regular funds coming from he General Appropriation
t
Act (GAA) and the Supplemental Fund derived from the income of the University.

The annual Approved Research and Extension Budget is provided in the General Appropriation Act (GAA). The research and extension
budget dialogue is usually conducted by the University headed by the President and the Budget Officer. As a result of the budget dialogue,
a Work and Financial Plan (WFP) for RDE of the University is submitted to the President thru the Budget Officer for approval. Therefore,
approved WFP shall be strictly followed as far as the RDE budget is concerned.

The Finance Director and Budget Officer must consult the University Vice President for R&D, Extension, and Training before the
realignment of Research and Extension budget is done. The allocation of budget for an extension comes from the ten (10%) percent allocation
coming from the Supplemental Budget which is derived from the income of the University. All college-based extension projects shall be given
corresponding budget campus allocation upon submission of the extension proposal/s duly approved by the University Extension. Review

D. BEST PRACTICES

➢ Cite as many best practices as you can on Parameter C (Funding and Other Resources).

The extension program is provided with a definite budget to ensure its sustainability. Funds as well as material and service
inputs from the institution or other agencies were solicited and utilized in the implementation of the viable extension program.

Parameter D– Community Involvement and Participation

1. SYSTEM-INPUTS AND PROCESSES
➢ Present strategies in the involvement of the community, government, and private agencies in the Extension
Program.

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 a selected poor pilot barangay into a self-reliant, empowered, and progressive community. It pools experts from various
colleges of the Campus/University who are capable of analyzing the needs of the community and eventually helping them find solutions and
assisting them to realize their goals. The program was designed to cater to the recommendations of AACCUP accreditation requiring college-
based extension activities. Under this program, all college-based extension activities are implemented in one pilot barangay under
t
participative and collaborative arrangements involving interdisciplinary eams. The pilot barangay serves as the convergence of services and
technical assistance from the colleges based on their strengths, expertise, and mandate which were planned and implemented collaboratively.

2. IMPLEMENTATION

➢ Describe community participation in the planning, implementation, monitoring and evaluation, fund-sourcing and
technology/knowledge utilizations.
