Council holds resource generation training

 

Thirty-two program planners and researchers from the regions and PCARRD are going through a three-day training-workshop on resource generation at the Council’s headquarters in Los Baños, Laguna.


 


“This is a continuing capability-building effort for the consortia and the PCARRD secretariat, specifically for the key people involved in project development and resource generation activities,” said Dr. Patricio S. Faylon, PCARRD executive director, during the opening program.

With the advocacy to increase budget allocation for R&D, the Council saw the need to capacitate program planners and researchers to identify,

package, and market timely and fund-worthy R&D proposals. The learning event also tackles strategies on linkaging and networking with funding agencies.

The facilitators and lecturers are from the Development Academy of the Philippines.

Lecturer Dr. Maria Carmen A. Lagman, research project leader from the World Fish Center, encouraged the participants to go beyond the limits of packaging proposals.

“Grants are investments, not gifts; we have responsibilities to them,” she stressed.

Dr. Lagman also said that Filipino scientists and research managers must think collectively and look at the sustainability of projects conceptualized at the farmers’ level.

PCARRD Planning and Development Division acting director, Dr. Leah J. Buendia, challenged the participants to take on the responsibility of generating resources for R&D in the agriculture, forestry, and natural resources. (Maria Estela H. Facundo, S&T Media Service)
