CAGAYAN DE ORO CITY — The Institutional Development Unit (IDU) of the Department of Agriculture – Philippine Rural Development Project Scale-Up (DA-PRDP SU) conducted a series of capacity-building activities for regular DA employees on May 12–13 and May 19-20, 2026, in this city, as part of its continuing efforts to mainstream DA-PRDP tools, systems, and innovations within the department’s regular operations.

The activity aims to ensure that DA-PRDP innovations become integrated into the Department of Agriculture’s governance, planning, and operational systems, supporting the project’s long-term goal of institutionalizing effective rural development practices beyond the project implementation period.

As part of the initiative, the IDU introduced the 3-Level Badge System, which serves as the cornerstone of its 2026 Mainstreaming Action Plan. The system is designed to transform DA-PRDP from a time-bound project into a permanent component of the DA’s governance and operational framework by 2028.

For 2026, the Regional Project Coordination Office (RPCO) targets the attainment of Badge 1 status among participating divisions by November through the adoption of various DA-PRDP tools and innovations.

Among the divisions involved is the Planning, Monitoring and Evaluation Division (PMED), which is expected to mainstream the Value Chain Analysis (VCA), Expanded Vulnerability and Suitability Assessment (eVSA), and the Provincial Commodity Investment Plan (PCIP).

The Regional Agricultural Engineering Division (RAED), meanwhile, will focus on the Operation Manual for Infrastructure, implementation of Climate-Proofed Technical Planning Parameters, and the National Farm-to-Market Road Network Planning framework.

The Agribusiness and Marketing Assistance Division (AMAD) is set to adopt methodologies for business planning aimed at strengthening enterprise development among proponent groups.

For the Field Operations Division (FOD) and RAED, mainstreaming efforts include the use of Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and spatial analysis, enhancement of Information Technology proficiency, and the integration of the Social and Environmental Safeguards (SES) Manual and the Grievance Redress Mechanism (GRM).

The DA-PRDP Scale-Up continues to strengthen institutional capacities within the Department of Agriculture by promoting sustainable, data-driven, and climate-resilient approaches to rural development, ensuring that innovations introduced through the project remain embedded in government systems and services for the benefit of farming and fishing communities.

Another set of capacity building of the DA-PRDP tools and innovations are set to be conducted by the 3rd Quarter of this year.

CAGAYAN DE ORO CITY – The Department of Agriculture – Philippine Rural Development Project 10 Scale-Up (DA-PRDP 10 Scale-Up), together with the Mindanao Project Support Office (PSO Mindanao), conducted a Joint Technical Review (JTR) for the Kabangasan-Mapua-Dahilig (KAMADA) ARC Cooperative’s proposed Cassava Milling, Processing, and Marketing enterprise on May 18–21 in this city.

The activity gathered various DA-PRDP components and concerned units to facilitate the consolidation, assessment, and enhancement of the enterprise’s documentary and technical requirements, ensuring a more efficient and streamlined business plan preparation process.

Once the cooperative complies with all necessary technical and documentary requirements, the proposed enterprise may qualify for endorsement to the Regional Project Advisory Board (RPAB) by June 2026.

Notably, the proposed subproject is the first cassava enterprise currently being developed under DA-PRDP in Northern Mindanao, marking a significant milestone in broadening enterprise development opportunities for farmer cooperatives in the region.

Through sustained technical assistance and capacity-building interventions, DA-PRDP continues to strengthen farmer organizations and enhance the viability and competitiveness of agri-fishery enterprises, ultimately contributing to improved productivity, expanded market access, and inclusive rural economic growth in Northern Mindanao.

Happy Mother’s Day 🩷

Everything begins with a mother’s hands—the hands that hold us, guide us, and help us grow. Just as we call the earth our Mother, the life and nourishment she gives through her soil, seas, and abundance remind us of the love and care of our own mothers.

At the end of the day, we owe so much to our mothers—their love, strength, and quiet sacrifices. Today, we honor them, but every day, we feel their presence.

Happy Mother’s Day from PRDP Mindanao! 🌷
