6 Jul 2026AI Summary
The Department of Agriculture – Regional Field Office 1 has issued a rebidding solicitation for consultancy services to conduct a comprehensive evaluation of selected Rice and Corn Banner Program interventions within the Ilocos region. The engagement targets three distinct assessment components: an outcome/process review of the provision of seeds, fertilizers, and machinery under the Rice Program's production support services; an outcome assessment of the Yellow and White Corn Production Enhancement Program; and an impact evaluation of completed recirculating dryers installed in Region 1. This project requires a methodology that rigorously measures program effectiveness, efficiency, and the broader socioeconomic impact on local farmers, while aligning with the Department’s performance monitoring framework.
Consultants will be expected to design and implement structured evaluation protocols that capture quantitative and qualitative data across the three program components, analyze trends, and produce actionable recommendations for policy makers. The engagement mandates strict adherence to the Government Procurement Reform Act (RA 9184) and its implementing rules, ensuring transparency, merit-based selection, and compliance with public procurement standards.
