Published 11 Jul 2015

An P18.5 – million fund is ready for release to finance proposed livelihood projects by eight groups from four municipalities in Guimaras province.

Department of Agriculture 6 Information Officer James Earl Ogatis said the fund is available under the small livelihood projects (SLP) of the Global Environmental Facility (GEF) of the Philippine Rural Development Project (PRDP) of the department.

Recently, Ogatis said proponents attended a business planning writeshop designed to capacitate them in technical writing and with necessary skills in preparing business plan for the priority enterprise for funding.

Also, discussed during the three-day activity spearheaded by the Regional Project Coordinating Office (RPCO) 6 I-REAP are the importance of quality results and proper monitoring and evaluation of the sub-project; SLP guidelines; business plan outline; social and environmental safeguard (SES) guidelines; and procurement system process.

Ogatis said it is expected that through the writeshop, proponents can now come up with their business plans for their proposed seaweeds production and marketing projects for technical review and endorsement for the approval of the Regional Project Advisory Board.

The fund will be equally divided among eight implementers.
