The staff of Bangsamoro Development Agency (BDA) - Regional Management Office (RMO) in Southern Mindanao underwent Business Plan Training held at the BDA-RMO in General Santos City on December 17, 2013.
The activity was geared to provide the BDA staff with adequate knowledge that will be shared to target beneficiaries in handling livelihood projects under the Mindanao Trust Fund Reconstruction and Development Program (MTFRDP).
Business Plan is one of the additional requirements for the income generating Sub-Project Proposals of the Barangay Community Volunteers.
The training was facilitated by Anami C. Canag, Project Technical Team (PTT)-Team Leader from the Mindanao Land Foundation, the Trust Fund Recipient of the MTFRDP.
Canag discussed livelihood, business objectives, planning process, and marketing plan.
“Livelihood must be sustainable, generational, enhancing capabilities and assets and wide-ranging, meaning it is not for a community or for short term only,” she explained.
She pointed out that business objectives must be specific, measurable, attainable, realistic and time-bound. Canag further discussed the kinds of business.
“In starting business, you should start small, and arm yourself with skills,” Canag hinted.
The resource person added, “it is also very important to consider communications, accessibility, labor, market-customer population, suppliers as well as government assistance.”
For livelihood that is generational, Canag cited the community livelihood activities of Tugaya in Lanao del Sur where the skills of their ancestors were transferred to the current generation.
Tugaya is recognized by UNESCO as a cultural heritage for being able to sustain the production of various Maranao artifacts like Moro swords, brass wares, tapestry and other Moro decors.
The PTT also trained the BDA staff with basic knowledge in photography, documenting self-help projects and reviewed geo-tagging procedure.
BDA-SouthMin currently serves nine barangays of Sarangani in terms of livelihood assistance under MTFRDP.
The beneficiaries have initially proposed post-harvest facilities, fishing, and water system, projects that can help provide them with additional income.
BDA has Central Management Office based in Cotabato City and seven Regional Management Offices namely Central Mindanao, Southern Mindanao, Davao, Ranaw (Lanao), Zamboanga Peninsula, Zamboanga-Basilan, and Sulu - Tawi-tawi.
The PTT will conduct Business Plan Training in other RMOs of the BDA.
The agency is tasked to determine, lead and manage relief, rehabilitation and development projects in the conflict affected areas of Mindanao with the support of local and international development institutions.
