SIBAT has established community-based and household farms in 21 agrarian reform communities in the Visayas region, and 2 community clusters in Mindanao. Meanwhile, urban sustainable food production efforts supplement the family’s food requirements and partially address biodegradable waste management in partnership with urban poor communities in Metro Manila. The following are the ongoing sustainable agriculture project sites: (1) Negros Oriental (2) Maasin, Southern Leyte (3) Aloguinsan, Minglanilla in Cebu (4) Ubay and Trinidad in Bohol and (7) Malapatan and Alabel in Sarangani Province, Southern Mindanao. Urban sustainable food production efforts are also pursued in various urban poor communities in Metro Manila. affordable and accessible energy intended for household electrification and economic enterprise for remote and mainly off-grid communities. To date, SIBAT has successfully installed 23 community-based microhydro systems (MHPs) and currently completing 5 MHPs; 6 solar photovoltaic water pumping (SPWP); and 4 small wind turbine energy projects. These projects are considered as the technology niches of SIBAT in community-based renewable energy development. SIBAT’s community-based renewable energy systems are small, decentralized power supply systems established through multi-stakeholder efforts in Philippine rural poor communities mostly inhabited by indigenous peoples; the systems have a tangible impact on their economy, education and health, and lessen the burden on women and children. Community-based Water Development presently builds five Resources small scale gravity fed water systems in the Visayas (1) Panaghiusa, San Vicente, Trinidad, Bohol (2) Manga, Alcantara, Cebu (3) Binobohan, Negros Oriental (4) Luyang, Negros Oriental and (5) Campoaling, Negros Oriental.

SIBAT Market Assessment. SIBAT’s pool of experts is is pursuing community-based integrated trained and analyze markets where renewable development projects such that its renewable energy/ electricity options can best be utilized energy projects are not only for village and how. For both water and community-based electrification but are also designed to meet the rural electrification projects, SIBAT conduct required energy demand for small livelihood detailed demand analysis and needs validation applications (if the source permits). Also, since among targeted beneficiaries and work within SIBAT ensures that the projects are sustained, the existing institutional framework to make the watershed protection and/or rehabilitation sure that a proposed project shall be socially program is incorporated as an integral acceptable, financially and technically feasible component of any water or hydro project. and most importantly, sustainable. OUR CAPABILITIES Detailed feasibility studies follow the framework of integrated community development such that not only the electrification requirements is addressed but more importantly the improvement of the village’s economic condition through the provision of an alternative livelihood or from basic as improving food production. Livelihood and community development activities are always integrated in the community-based approach in order to address socio-economic development aspects and ensure overall project sustainability. Detailed feasibility studies for a communitybased energization project will have a Project Design. The market and resource assessment information combined with our inhouse technical and management expertise are utilized to provide the clients with strategic advice and analysis to identify environmentally, financially and technically feasible projects.
