IBA, Zambales — The Department of Science and Technology in Tarlac recently provided training to Science and Technology coordinators in Zambales to develop and improve projects initiated by local government units.

DoST provincial director Karen Dañez stressed that the training will boost the capacity of coordinators in identifying, monitoring and implementing projects made by their respective LGUs.

She added that this is part of the Project Municipal Innovations through Science and Technology that aims to bring and promote meaningful S&T innovations closer to the community with the active involvement of LGUs.

"Such activities will enable science and technology coordinators to put forward projects that are sustainable and beneficial to their respective LGUs," Dañez said.

"While we do not offer monetary incentives for all your efforts under this project, we will help you learn and enjoy through this seminar-workshop. As public servants, this activity will inspire us to give our best in serving the people, and to become high performing public servants," she added.

In her message delivered by Frances Camacho from the provincial government, Governor Susan Yap lauded DoST Tarlac and its endeavor to achieve inclusive growth and sustainable development in Tarlac through S&T innovations.
