strengthen their participation and involvements in the project. Enterprise Development and Identified Priority Goat-Based Enterprises The RED projects’ concept goes beyond production with evolving process toward developing goat-based enterprises as an innovative approach in livestock enterprise development, thereby transforming traditional backyard goat raising into a viable and profitable agribusiness venture. Although the first year of the RED project implementation focused more on the introduction of technology options to enhance the productivity of goats, there were a number of activities conducted on enterprise development. Organizing the farmers into an association is an initial step towards promoting opportunities in the thriving and promising goat-based industries. In Isabela, Region II, entrepreneurial activities such as marketing of slaughter goats and chevon processed products (one of the breakthroughs/strengths of ISU technology generated/developed) were the main focused of the enterprise project on the second year of the RED project implementation. Table 5. Goat-Based Enterprises identified by Farmer-Partners/Goat Raisers Association * Enterprise Development either by individual farmer-partner or by the Goat Raisers /Producers Association as a group. Spill-over activities in pilot site Spill-over is one of the outputs of the project as indicated in the proposal. There were 80 spill-over goat raisers coming from several groups who signify their interests to join the group and get involved in goat raising when they observed the existing performance of our RED farmer partners with a total of. To mention, they are the following groups and presented in Appendix H. 1. Backyard Raisers in Echague, Isabela 2. World Vision Farmer Partners 3. DOLE Farmer Partners 4.

Alicia Isabela CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATIONS The project followed a framework based on the premise that any development endeavor, to be truly participatory, must first and foremost takes into account the farmers’ realities – their situation, aspirations, and capabilities. The specific approaches used were firmed up by the project implementers and other partners. Specific activities will focus on enabling strategies for the farmer-partners to gain access to technologies and develop innovations to befit these technology inputs into their resources and capabilities and enhance their access to markets by producing animals that possess characteristics preferred by consumers. Recognizing that the effective implementation of a certain modalities such participatory enterprises will work well at the local levels and it will result into the following scene: • Address food security; • Increase income to smallhold farmers; • Create more job opportunities in the rural areas; • A good means to improve the status quo of rural folks; and • Establish a sustainable industry for goat and sheep. product cum marketing cycle needed to establish a sustainable industry for goat and sheep.
