The 3rd batch of Gender-based Effectiveness Skills Training (G-BEST) for selected DAR and LGU implementers together with leaders from four Agrarian Reform Communities of Aklan were trained last September at Grand Hotel, Iloilo City. Participants were chosen from the ARCP areas of Aklan like Madalag, Makato, Ibajay and Malinao. The five-day training was under the DAR-ADB-ARCP programs to jumpstart the process of mainstreaming gender in the ARCs. It is also expected that the ARCs will formulate and implement Gender-based rural enterprise in their communities. Other participants in said training were from the ARCs of the province of Antique.
Meanwhile, in GAD-related development, eleven members of Aklan’s GAD focal point also attended a one day orientation for the members of the DAR-Aklan’s women’s desk officers. The orientation discussed Gender and Development thrusts and programs of DAR through DAR Ladies Association – Samahan ng Kababaihan sa Agrikultura (DARLA-SAKA) Chair, Director Lilia Nicolas, another talk on Gender and Sexuality from Prof. Florenda Española of the Ugsad Resource Center at UP in the Visayas and the explanation of RA 9262 or the Anti Violence Against Women and their Children Act of 2004 presented by Capt. Cecilia Detablan of PNP-Region VI.
Atty. Daniel Y. Martelino, PARO II of Aklan welcomes these activities to enhance and provide support to the designated women’s desk officers in DAR-Aklan. /MP mailto:madyaas_pen@yahoo.com
