TESDA DavNor ready for BDP project rollout in 2022

DAVAO DEL NORTE, 25 May (PIA)— The Technical Skills Education and Skills Development Authority (TESDA) provincial office in Davao del Norte has already laid down its projects and services for implementation in the Barangay Development Program (BDP) priority areas covered in 2022.

Guesting during the Sayron Ta! Pakigsayod radio program this morning, TESDA Provincial Director Leah Braga said TESDA Davao del Norte is placing on the deck for rollout the programs and projects due for 19 priority barangays in the municipalities of Talaingod, Sto Tomas, New Corella, Asuncion, Kapalong, and Panabo City.

“Naka-plastar na ang scholarship programs and other projects for the 19 priority barangays; kadaghanan ani naa sa agriculture kay mao ang priority sector of the program. (We have made ready the scholarship program and other projects for the 19 priority barangays; some of which are into agriculture as this is the priority sector of the program),” she said.

In the nine BDP areas in New Corella, TESDA is set to introduce trainings on production of concoctions and extracts along with raising of organic chicken except for Barangay Carcor where TESDA has prepared a training leading to seed certification and farm mechanization with support from Rice Competitiveness Enhancement Fund (RCEF).

The BDP covered barangays in the Municipality of Asuncion will not be venturing agri-based training but they are photo voltaic system or installation and maintenance of solar power system, Braga said.

Aside from the nine BDP areas in New Corella and three BDPs in Asuncion, there are two BDP covered barangays in Panabo City; one in Talaingod; two in Sto. Tomas; one in Kapalong; and one in San Isidro.

In 2022, each BDP area will be receiving P4 million worth of projects identified by the barangay local government.

The P4 million funds for identified BLGU project is on top of the services and projects that TESDA and other national line agencies intend to bring and introduce to BDP areas which once were under the influence of the New People’s Army (NPA), and now declared as “cleared” by the NTF ELCAC.

“Naa nay (We already have) budget and coordinated with the CTECs,” Braga said referring to the LGU-based Community Training and Employment Coordinators with whom TESDA is working with to roll out its community-based programs, projects and activities.

Same with other recipients of TESDA skills trainings, those in BDP areas will also be receiving stipend and allowances for fare, cellphone load for communication access, and personal protective gears and hygienic solutions such as alcohol against COVID-19 infection.
