CoP is defined as a virtual network
of subject matter content providers
consisting of faculty, professional
and para-professional staff, county
educators, industry experts,
clientele and government agency
representation who share knowledge
or competence in a specific content
area. They are those who are willing to
work and learn together over a period
of time to further develop and share
that knowledge in forms of educational
products and programs. Specifically, a
CoP aims to help meet the knowledge
needs of their respective Communities
of Interest (CoI) or clientele, provides
stewardship of the available
knowledge for their specific content
area, including

innovation is often referred to as
one of the essential sources of
positive development impacts for the
agriculture sector. Global discussions
on inclusive innovation are now being
done in support to the Millennium
Development Goals especially aiming
for sustainable development of the
developing countries.
With this, the World Bank Group
together with the Ministry of Finance
of the People's Republic of China
organized the Regional Inclusive
Innovation Policy Forum to share
international and Chinese knowledge
and experiences on inclusive
innovation.
Inclusive innovation plays a key
role in promoting inclusive growth
where the focus is on ensuring
equality in access to resources and
basic services. With public authorities
increasingly recognize that equalizing
the basic social services, especially
between urban and rural areas, it
should become the imperative to

AVAO CITY – The Agricultural
Training Institute (ATI) as the
training and extension arm
of the Department of Agriculture has
been one of the few institutions who
practices Knowledge Management
(KM) for its various programs and
services. Tasked to document and
record the latest developments in
agricultural research and the good
agricultural practices and sharing
these knowledge to the farmers and
fishers, KM has been very effective for
ATI.
It is in this regard that ATI was
invited in a Training-Workshop on
Knowledge Management Capacity
Building that was conducted by the
Southeast Asian Regional Center
for Graduate Study in Research and
Agriculture (SEARCA) and DA-Bureau
of Agricultural Research (DA-BAR).
Antonieta Arceo, OIC-Chief of ATI’s

Division shared the ATI’s efforts for
knowledge sharing.
The training-workshop aimed to
discuss and understand concepts and
tools of information and knowledge

conceptual definition and
approach to KM that could
apply to the agriculture and
fisheries sector. Participants

E
L SALVADOR, Misamis Oriental
-- The Agricultural Training
Institute-Regional Training
Center 10 recently held series of
ICT Literacy Training and Web
Appreciation Course for officers of the
rural-based organizations (RBOs) and
for the agricultural extension workers
(AEWs).
The first of the series of training
was attended by the officers of the
RBOs in Iligan City last March 26 to
28, 2012. About 26 AEWs from the
municipal and provincial agriculture
offices in Camiguin attended the
second batch which was held last April
11 to 13, 2012.
The trainings aimed to equip
the participants on the basic and
advanced computer operations and
orient them on the Department of
Agriculture’s e-Extension Program for
Agriculture and Fisheries.
In return, the participants of both
trainings were appreciative of the
efforts exerted by the ATI, citing that to
become more efficient in the discharge
of their functions and duties, they
need to keep pace with the technology
that is already invading their lives.
All of them agreed that they need to
“embrace the e-world to deliver better
and effective extension (services).”
Before the training was conducted,
most of the RBO officers in Iligan
City have almost zero knowledge in
computer operations. The participants
have proven their heart for agricultural
extension and their determination to
learn outweighed whatever limitations
they had.
The AEWs, on the other hand,
have some basic knowledge on ICT,
hence advanced modules appropriate
to their work were given to them.
Lessons on how to use the MS Office
particularly on how to mailmerge,
incorporating graphs and other
statistics in presentations, softwares,
computer viruses, among others were
discussed to them.
The ATI RTC 10 staff served as
resource persons of the trainings.

insights and experiences comprise
knowledge, either embodied
in individuals or embedded in

ATI has enhanced its use of
KM when the Institute launched the
e-Extension Program for Agriculture
and Fisheries in 2007, an extension
delivery system that uses Information
Communication and Technology in
disseminating knowledge to clienteles.
Other services that the ATI have
offered that employ KM were the
production of Information Education

ATI also produced various techno-
based videos on crops and livestock.
Another KM effort that the ATI through
