Subproject Completion Report: Itogon Watershed Rehabilitation Subproject

The Itogon Watershed Subproject is located within Barangays Tinongdan, Dalupirip, Ampucao and Poblacion in the Municipality of Itogon, Benguet. The Subproject is significant for its role in providing water to local and downstream communities of Benguet and Pangasinan for domestic and irrigation purposes and in empowering as well as improving the socio-economic condition of project beneficiaries.

Subproject activities like Community Site Development (CSD) and infrastructure works gave employment to members as well as non-members registering a total of 321, 791 mandays.

Inclusion of the Infrastructure Component boosted the livelihood initiatives, increasing the probability of sustaining them. The 2.0 kilometerfarm-to-market road now facilitates convey of agricultural products to place of commerce with ease. The footpath and hanging bridges provide ease in mobility for the community while the irrigation systems boost maintenance of agro forestry plantations as well as provide potable water to residents.

With the increase in income that came with employment and complementary infrastructures to make life a lot easier for them, the members are ready to stand on their own feet probably with just a minimal supervision from the SUSIMO. The trainings that they have availed of have prepared them for the eventual project expiration inasmuch as these were not only on plantation matters but also included practical training on business planning and other relevant subjects.
