Development of Prediction Models
To ensure that the technologies develop will reach the desired end users and to ensure strong linkage with various stakeholders, Rural Development and Communication Service Unit will also be established to perform technology dissemination and technology transfer to rural communities in the Philippines. The unit works closely, acting as bridge between the center and the local communities, to undertake technology transfer, demonstrate and assimilation, as well as human resource development to improve the standard of living and household earnings for village. They are also in-charge in fostering linkages for fund source or collaborative researches among others.
Commitment
The commitment is hereby established to implement and abide by the provisions of the CTU Research and Development (R and D) Manual and Agenda.
