PCC, stakeholders undergo CBIN planning

 

To establish strategic direction on Carabao-based Business Improvement Network (CBIN) in propelling an inclusive, sustainable, and highly competitive local dairy industry, Philippine Carabao Center (PCC) conducted the Stage 2 Strategic Planning Workshop on CBIN last July 22-24 in Davao City.

The planning course was participated in by more than 60 project stakeholders from the Provincial and Municipal Government Units and qualified cooperatives in the provinces of Davao del Sur, Davao Oriental, Compostela Valley, North Cotabato, and South Cotabato.

PCC Deputy Executive Director Dr. Caro Salces, along with other PCC staff, guided the participants through the different processes involved in crafting a strategic plan of the said project.

The activity served as an avenue in sharing ideas to Carabao Development Program, formulation of interventions that will pave the way for the increase in productivity to improve the implementation in Carabao-Based Enterprise, and identification of specific strategies in crafting a Dairy Development Network Organizational Plan in every province involved.

In this context, participants reviewed and analyzed their roles and responsibilities through a workshop on Stakeholders and SWOT analysis. They made and evaluated, through an Operational Plan, the needs in the first three years of the project and different indicators on the organizational, social, and economic aspects of agencies’ operation.

“By conducting this activity, we can identify the necessary needs and efforts that we can share as a counterpart in the project so that it becomes more participatory and achieve higher success rate,” Jennifer Bretana, South Cotabato Planning Development Coordinator said.

Meanwhile, PCC@USM Director Benjamin John C. Basilio and CBIN Consultant Eduardo Macalandag simultaneously conducted a courtesy call and site surveillance in the provinces of North Cotabato, South Cotabato, and Davao del Sur.

“As we visited the different areas, we can see the positive response and support of every LGU to the project. Also, we can see the eagerness of the recipients as they actively participated in the initial stages of the project,” Macalandag expressed.

The site evaluation was part of the preparation of the project to determine the readiness of every province and cooperative in the CBIN project.
