Heeding to the call of Agriculture Secretary Emmanuel Piñol to strengthen the dissemination of government projects, DA Caraga through its Information Section conducted a series of training for information partners.

Members of the DA Caraga Information Network once again converged in Butuan City for a Radio Messaging Harmonization Workshop recently.

Attended by DA attached bureaus and national line agencies, each participant packaged various radio spots to be used for massive information dissemination, where a total of 22 radio spots were produced.

Said radio spots covering from production to marketing of crops, livestock and fisheries will be aired in various radio stations particularly during DA-funded radio programs and spot placements all over Caraga.

Meanwhile, DA Information Section in partnership with the Provincial Agriculture Office-Information Section conducted also a news writing and radio reporting seminar workshop In Tandag City, Surigao del Sur.

LGU agri-based information officers were taught on basics on writing for radio and radio reporting to make them more effective in conveying messages through the use of radio broadcast.

The participants who were agriculturist but designated also as information officers were honed to make their reports palatable for radio listeners.

DA Caraga has been partnering DA attached bureaus and agencies, and local government units through funding radio programs and spot placements all over Caraga for wider information dissemination.

For transparency and wider appreciation of government projects and programs, Secretary Piñol ordered all DA attached agencies and bureaus as well as DA regional offices to strengthen information dissemination through radio and other information media. (Aurelius P. Arais/DA Caraga)
