| final results & observations |
The project "Enriching Organisational Competency towards Productivity Enhancement and Enterprise Development" was part of the three year strategic plan crafted by the leadership of PASAKA in December 2008 with an objective of contributing to poverty alleviation and socio-economic development of the coconut farmers and other marginalised sector in the rural areas of Lanao del Norte.
The situation for the peace and order in some communities are at risk since the remnants of fear from the 2008 MILF encounter was still there. Hence the residents in most of our areas of Maigo, Magsaysay and Kolambugan where most of PASAKA’s memberships are found had learnt to cope up with the situation. This is the same also with the organisation, while the Maigo, Magsaysay and Kolambugan were in a mess due to war, PASAKA has diverted most of its efforts to municipalities of Linamon, Lala and Sultan Naga Dimaporo and some communities in Iligan City where the peace and order situation was not disturbed by the warring government and MILF troops.
In the early stage of project implementation, activities were mostly focused in municipalities of Sultan Naga Dimaporo and Lala with at least three clustered barangays each municipality and having two local chapters, this is because the chaos of Kolambugan, Maigo and Magsaysay, that we have to find ways to implement important activities of the project. Observing the result, there is that big difference when focus is on certain areas, enhance leadership styles and management skills where observe that leaders where able to manage well their local associations including economic activities initiated by them. In terms of economic and integrated organic farming activities BACFA and SIUFAMCO are championing on this matter followed by FAL and UCFC of the same municipalities.
Food sufficiency and funds to respond to the basic need ie, health, education among others of the farming household are essential needs of the farming community that should be immediately responded. The absence of necessary capitalisation, technology and marketing outlets for the farmers’ product are hindering factor that contributes to the poverty situation among the rural communities and acquiring the three important aspects essential to community development is a very complicated process when the community involve is not organise and strengthened. Accordingly, together with the women and the young farmers there is a great need to continue organising the rural communities, mobilise them in activities that are aimed to sustaining food production, entrepreneurial and leadership development in order for them to manage and sustained the initiated project significant to alleviating poverty.
