The Bureau of Agricultural Research,
in coordination with the Philippine Institute of Development
Studies, recently held the first in a series of focused-discussion
semiars.
During this seminar series, project proponents
will present and discuss the different research outputs
of slected projects. These outputs will help in the
drafting of agriculture and fisheries policies for better
planning and monitorig of agricultural R&D. This
seminar series will also promote the exchange of information
among RDE stakeholders such as national and regional
RDE network leaders and members, offices and technical
staff of DA units and BAR's technical staff.
The seminar series is divided into six
parts. The first seminar is entitled Review and Evaluation
of Publicly Funded Research and Development. Mr. Augusto
"Gus" De Leon, a management consultant of
De Leon Conculting, was the guest speaker. His three-part
presentation revolved on the review and evaluation of
publicly funded agro-processing R&D, the clarification
of the roles of the public and private sectors; and
the identification of different government research
programs that assist the private sector in agro-processing
R&D.
The remainig seminars will feature five
PIDS projects, namely Vegetables Program Area Research
Planning & Prioritization; Agricultural Biotechnology
Research and Development in the Philippines:The Need
for a Strategic Approach; Research Program Planning
on Natural Resource Management; Fruits Program Area

Planning for Pest and Disease Management.
These projects are the components of a
PIDS study entitled "Economic Methodology for Prioritization
of National Research, Development and Extension Programs
for Corn and Other Major Commodities: Objectives, Research
Activities and Budget."
The next focused-discussion series is
tentatively scheduled second week of July at the Bureau
