The Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) and the National Irrigation Administration (NIA) successfully implemented the Project Convergence Budget (PCB)/Sustainable Livelihood Program (SLP) Orientation on July 17, 2024 in Barangay San Esteban, Rizal, Nueva Ecija. Mr. Cedrick Aeron V. Reyes and Ms. Patricia S. Calahi, Project Development Officers from DSWD SLP Nueva Ecija led the conduct of the said activity. They discussed the proper management of the association which is a recipient of the program. A capability building on financial management was also held to develop and transform the association into an enterprise in the future.
A total of 50 members of Barangay San Esteban Water System Irrigators Association benefited from the SLP. Through this program, the beneficiaries will eventually pursue farming as a business venture. The orientation received assistance from Ms. Vannie V. Barcelo and Ms. Jasper Q. Escobar of the NIA Aurora-Nueva Ecija IMO Institutional Development Unit. Additionally, Hon. Katrina L. Andres, Municipal Mayor of Rizal, Nueva Ecija, was present during the activity.
