The project kick-off and orientation for La Union province was implemented by the Institute of Renewable Natural Resources at the College of Forestry and Natural Resources, in close partnership with the Provincial Government of La Union. This activity served as an introduction to the project for key stakeholders, particularly the Provincial Government of La Union, which is the primary beneficiary of the APN-funded initiative. The orientation aimed to familiarize the stakeholders with the project objectives, scope, and expected outcomes, ensuring their active involvement and alignment with the project’s goals, as their participation is critical to its success.
