Agusan del Sur’s USAD program is Top 10 in Galing Pook Awards 2021 By CHRIS V. PANGANIBAN Contributing Editor
PROSPERIDAD, Agusan del Sur -The Upland Sustainable Agri-forestry Development (USAD) Convergence Program, the centerpiece program of the provincial government to uplift the lives of impoverished farmers in the upland villages, was picked as one of the Top 10 Outstanding Local Governance Programs in the country. The Galing Pook Awards 2021 picked Agusan del Sur as top 10 for its local governance’s best practices in helping farmers in the hinterland areas become more productive in a sustainable way with proper technology interventions and for them to nurture these partnership as stakeholders for development. USAD was the brainchild of
former governor and now District 2 Rep. Adolph Edward Plaza in 2013 in the aftermath of Typhoon Pablo a year earlier where most residents in the upland farming communities were heavily devastated. The affected farmers who are mostly living in the poverty line were given farm inputs and proper technology while on their part they have to commit as “farmer-enrollees” to nurture their farms to become productive. Gov. Santiago Cane, Jr. said more than 5,000 USAD “farmer-enrollees” have started to improve their lives especially those engaged in banana and falcatta tree farming. “Our main goal is to reduce poverty incidence of our people,” Cane said after he accepted the Galing Pook Awards See PROGRAM, page 11
