The Gender and Development (GAD) Livelihood and Technical Training Program of LGU-Isabela aims to provide sustainable self-employment through easy to learn livelihood activities and to facilitate entrepreneurial opportunities and provide livelihood assistance and other services to our target beneficiaries. It is also one of the alternative solutions to recover from various economic losses brought by this COVID-19 pandemic.

 

Hon. Sitti Djalia A. Turabin-Hataman directed the PESO to assess the previous participants as well as the new applicants, especially if they have benefitted from the basic training. Hence, this training will also serve as skills enhancement training of participants. Also, by providing starter kit and access to other livelihood assistance, the participants will have a better success rate.
