more facts about CMU…

The Birth of the University Income Generation Program (UIGP)

• Originally, CMU has established the Farm Management Resources

Development Program (FMRDP) to support its mandated functions: Instruction, Research, Extension and Production.

• With the expanding operational needs of CMU and to augment the

meager budget allocation from the government, it becomes imperative for the university to venture into income generation. Thus, the creation of the UIGP.

University Income Generation Program (UIGP)

Six Divisions of the UIGP

• Plantation Crops Division
• Cereal Production and Processing
• Livestock, Poultry and Fisheries
• Forest Resources Development Division
• University Food and Lodging Services
• Special Projects

Let’s take a glance of the UIGP Products

These projects can be considered one of the potentials and powerful tools to impact the community in terms of job generation and additional income for CMU

As an agent for nation-building based

• n our four mandates, we have asked

countless of times…

What more can we do?

We thought that perhaps, this is what Central Mindanao University can do… Establishment of

• MT. KALAYO INSTITUTE FOR SOCIAL

ENTERPRISE GROWTH (MKISEG)

• CMU hosted the First

Mindanao Social Business Summit last June 4-6, 2014.

• MAKISEG was launched
• n June 4, 2014 at Central

Mindanao University

MKISEG…

Convenors of the Social Business Summit: Gawad Kalinga, CHED, IPs, AFP, Senate, Chamber of Commerce, DTI, LGUs, Bangsamoro, etc.

… is perhaps how CMU can help build an active social business hub… drawing from the lessons of its Income Generating Program (IGP) & in partnership with other concerned & committed groups and individuals.

Problems

Bukidnon as source of 50% waters in Mindanao Poverty in Bukidnon Upland Community (within Mt. Kalatungan Range) Endangered headwaters (600,000 has denuded watershed) Encroachment of individuals, groups or corporations’ plantations in the upland.

Effects

Hydrologic Alterations in Mindanao Reduced irrigation water supply Reduced volume of power generation Reduced water for household use

Effects

Siltation along riverbanks and dams (almost 6 million cu. m. silt in Pulangui IV dam) Other siltation in Rio Grande in Mindanao

Social Enterprise Solutions

Reforestation of Bukidnon headwaters with economic crops that minimize or prevent soil erosion Selection of reforestation crops which can generate income for the poor communities Linking produced crops to processors and market

How did it come about?

Wil ill we make a dif ifference?

Although there are already initial talks with potential partners, we have no concrete proofs yet to show. The fact that many people from different sectors are excited, supportive & hopeful to partner with CMU about this program is a good start…
