M & E for AFCs held

Selected Regional Agricultural and Fishery Council (RAFC) Chairpersons, National Agricultural and Fishery Council (NAFC) staff, Regional Agricultural Engineers and a representative from PhilRice attended the pre-Training Workshop on Monitoring and Evaluation (M & E) for Agricultural and Fishery Councils (AFCs) this April at the Oasis Hotel, Clark Perimeter Road, Angeles City, Pampanga.


       The activity was  facilitated by ACPC Director Norman Kraft,  together with lecturers  Director Mila Rimando of National Economic Development Authority (NEDA) Region 2 and Mr. Jose Macatangay, Presidential Agrarian Reform Council (PARC) Secretariat. The workshop covered the following topics: Overview of Project Monitoring and Evaluation; M & E indicators, categories of indicators by level; Data Collection and Instruments; Planning an M & E; M & E Plan matrix; M & E Training Plan; and experiences of PARC Secretariat in M & E projects.The two-day activity came up with some observations, concerns and recommendations that could help the participants develop their technical know-how based on the objectives of the M & E. Also part of the workshop output was the training design for AFC trainers on M&E which is necessary for the partner-AFCs, AFC coordinators and concerned NAFC staff as this will enhance their capability to assist in monitoring DA/NAFC programs and projects.

        Some concerns were also called to the attention of NAFC such as the AFCs’ involvement in the agency planning process and convening a meeting/workshop with AFC chairpersons/coordinators as soon as possible to discuss the 2011-2012 plans and targets and leveling on the Major Final Output (MFO) performance indicators.
