RIARCs
by Rita T. dela Cruz
On 15-18 March 2001, the Bureau of Agricultural
Research through its Regional Programs Division will
hold the first quarter meeting of the Regional Integrated
Agricultural Research Centers (RIARCs) managers, assistant
managers and regional technical directors for R&D
at the Legenda Hotel, Puerto Princesa City, Palawan.
At present, there are 15 established Regional
RDE networks with members from the regions, state colleges,
and universities, and local government units. In consultation
with the Farmer-Industry Advisory Committee, each network
drafted their respective Regional Integrated RDE Agenda
and Program. Through several interface workshops, the
national R&D networks reviewed the coherence of
the regional programs with that of the national programs.
The first quarter meeting will assess
the status of implementation and accomplishments of
the Regional RDE Networks. Other activities include
signing of the Memorandum of Understanding, creating
regional commodity networks and identifying issues/problems
and possible courses of action. Relevant issues and
concerns in support of the the regional priority R&D
programs shall be tackled as well as fund appropriations
and allocation of seed money to establish Advance Technology
Development Projects and On-Farm Researches.
Each of the 15 Regional RDE networks will
be represented by their technical director for R&D,
manager and assistant manager. Invited as consultants
are Dr. Art Salazar and Dr. Romy Labios.
