inception meeting held
by
Thea Kristina M. Pabuayon
The inception for the high impact project
(HIP) "Action Project on Enhancing the Productivity
and Quality of Carabao Mango through Integrated Pest
Management" was held last 17 February 2000. This
activity, which was facilitated and coordinated by Ms.
Digna Sandoval, is part of the series of regular inception
meetings held by BAR to minitor and evaluate all HIP
projects conducted by DA attached agencies.
Members of the project's Technical Evaluation
Team (TET) which include Dr. Domingo Angeles, Dr. Edwin
Benigno and Dr. Edralin Serrano, and proponents Dr.
Oscar Opina and Dr. Elda Esguerra, attended the activity
at the Post Harvest Research Training Center in UP Los
Baños, Laguna.
Based on the project framework, Dr. Opina
presented several strategies to insure the initial implementation
of the HIP on Guimaras and Iloillo in the Visayas, Pangasinan
and Zambales in Luzon, and Davao Oriental and Cotabato
in Mindanao. These included the integrated approach
to program implementation and community-based participation.
Also, he stressed the importance of participants' commitment
and their willingness to share resources.
Moreover, the proponents presented their
Terms Of Reference for evaluation. These are progress
monitoring, conduct of site visits, evaluation and certification
of progress reports, and submission of the project's
assessment reports and recommendations to BAR.
On the otherhand, the TET made several
recommendations to improve the project implementation.
For a more efficient and effective monitoring by the
TET, Dr. Angeles and Dr. Benigno syggested the use of
a Gannt Chart and meteorological data. This will reflect
the plan of activities as well as the actual accomplishment
for every project component, and provide useful information
for data analysis in the final report, respectively.
Finally, the TET expressed their interest to have a
social scientist in the project, and asked the proponents
to include food safety as one of the project's objectives.
