LOS ANGELES, Butuan City – In response to the ATI Memorandum regarding the institutionalization of the Agriculture and Fisheries Extension (AFE) Results-based Monitoring and Evaluation (RBME) System, the Agricultural Training Institute – Regional Training Center (ATI-RTC) XIII conducted the monitoring of the center’s policies, programs, and projects through interviews of beneficiaries and Agricultural Extension Workers (AEWs) in the region.
