SES conducts Bioengineering and Construction Supervision Training
The Social and Environmental Safeguards (SES) Unit continues to equip themselves to carry out their roles effectively and ensure that subprojects are not only economically and financially viable, but also environmentally and socially sound and sustainable.
With this, the Caraga Region hosted the Training on Bioengineering and Training on Construction Supervision and Management from January 30 - February 1, in Butuan City.
SES Focal Persons and Rural Infrastructure Engineers from all the PRDP Regional Coordination Offices and clusters nationwide were in attendance.
National SES Unit Head and recently designated as OIC National Deputy Project Director Angelita D. Martir led the group’s capability-building activity.
Director Martir commended the SES Team from the Region to the National Office for their commitment to making sure that compliance guidelines are met before the start of every project and urged everyone to continue to set the bar high in safeguarding the people and environment within the subproject sites under DA-PRDP.
On the last day of the training, the group visited the Amparitas farm of Engr. Ramon Barbosa in Hinatuan, Surigao del Sur, where they were exposed to the Coco Coir Processing Site and the use of Coconet as a Bioengineering solution for slope protection and slope stabilization.
