UPOU-FMDS Faculty Members Conduct Specialized Training for BFAR FishCoRe Project - University of the Philippines Open University

The University of the Philippines Open University (UPOU) Faculty of Management and Development Studies delivered two training courses for the Philippine Fisheries and Coastal Resiliency (FishCoRe) Project. FishCoRe is a seven-year initiative that adopts a comprehensive approach to fishery governance, supporting the Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources (BFAR) Regional Office 4-A in November 2024.
The comprehensive training series comprised two specialized courses that equipped BFAR project staff with essential skills in project management and strategic planning.

The first course, Value Chain Analysis, delivered on 12-15 November 2024, covered Value Chain Concepts and Mapping, Strengths-Weaknesses-Opportunities-Threats (SWOT) and Threats-Opportunities-Weaknesses-Strengths (TOWS) Analyses with Subprojects Prioritization, Business Planning, and Financial Modeling.

The second course, Project Management and Monitoring and Evaluation, conducted on 25-28 November 2024, focused on critical areas such as Feasibility Study Preparation, Logical Framework Analysis, Project Risk Analysis and Management, and Project Monitoring and Evaluation Techniques.

The training aligned with program development best practices, emphasizing strategic planning, critical thinking, and comprehensive project management skills. It was designed to help BFAR staff effectively manage the FishCoRe Project, conduct in-depth value chain analyses, and develop strategic interventions for fisheries livelihood and infrastructure projects.

The training courses were conducted by FMDS faculty members, including Dr. Leo Mendel Rosario, Asst. Prof. Regina Mendoza-Armiendo, Asst. Prof. Ari Luis Halos, and Asst. Prof. Remsce Pasahol.

Through these specialized training courses, UPOU demonstrated its commitment to supporting sustainable development in the fisheries sector by building the capacity of key government personnel. This initiative aligns with Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 14-Life Below Water.
