The Regional Project Coordinating Office (RPCO) 6 I-REAP component
conducted a three-day business planning writeshop for the eight small
livelihood projects (SLP) under the PRDP-Global Environmental Facility (GEF)

the eight Proponent Groups (PGs) in the four (4) Municipalities for the
seaweeds production and marketing enterprises.
According to May Ann B. Grajo, RPCO-6 I-REAP Component Head, the conduct
of the writeshop is necessary to explain the relevance of business planning,
capacitate the proponent groups in technical writing and develop a business
plan for the priority enterprise for funding.

project amounting to Php.18.5M which will be divided equally among the eight
proponent groups.” Grajo said
