The Bureau of Agricultural Research (BAR) will hold its Planning Workshop on January 22-26 in Pangasinan. This annual workshop is a fairly new activity of the Bureau having been started two years ago by Dr. Eliseo R. Ponce. This annual activity is done to assess the Bureau's performance for the past year and organize its activities and directions for the new year.

Selected BAR staff and consultants will participate in the workshop.

The workshop will commence with a review of the Bureau's legal mandate; a review of the Bureau's legal mandate; a review of the Bureau's mission and objectives and BAR's salient accomplishments for CY2000.

All division and unit heads will present an assessment of their division/unit performance and identify factors affecting unit productivity. A ten-minute open forum will be allotted after each presentation to identify and clarify issues and problems.

As an output, an action plan shall be formulated by the participants to identify strategies, recommended course of actions, indicators and targets, and a breakdown of resource requirement per program, project and activity.

On the last day, all division and unit heads will present their workplans. The facilitator will render the synthesis of the overall workshop output.
