Subproject Completion Report: Laoag (Madongan) Watershed Rehabilitation Subproject

The Laoag (Madongan) Watershed Subproject is located within two municipalities in Ilocos Norte: Marcos and Dingras covering Barangays Cacafean and San Marcelino in Marcos and Dingras, respectively.

Involvement in CSD and infrastructure activities of the People's Organization provided employment to 114 members, 19 of whom are women and generated a total of 231,253 man days. The women were employed in the maintenance and protection of the plantations.

The 2.5 km-farm-to-market road and the hanging bridge as Subproject infrastructures provided mobility for residents as well as ease in transporting their products during market days.

With the issuance of the CBFMA for the 2,699 hectares, hopes are high that the communities can very well manage the entire area having been empowered with development trainings on various aspects like administration, financial management, leadership among others.
