QUEZON CITY, June 1 — As part of its thrust to modernize the country’s agri-fishery sector, the Department of Agriculture (DA) is laying the groundwork to digitize its operations starting with the upgrading of its management information system (MIS).
The upgraded MIS contains the digital registry of farmers and fisherfolk, and list of previous and current DA projects. It also features a real-time monitoring and evaluation (M&E) system, and optimizes the use of a geolocation app for more efficient project implementation and monitoring that will benefit more farmers, fisherfolk, and stakeholders, said Agriculture Secretary William Dar.
We need to have good data management and a very robust M&E system to attain a reliable and credible agri-fishery information down to the ground level. We will also have a data analytics group as we invest in data science and go digital in the agriculture sector, the DA chief said.
