Objectives:
To establish an anchor firm who can assist the small players in the industry in order to capacitate them in terms of production, technology and labor for them to be globally competitive;
To sustain the growth of the bag making industry in Bohol through the provision of an assistance package that will enable the community-based enterprises and the neighboring communities to become self-sustaining units capable of providing income and employment opportunities;
To forge public-private sector partnerships in order to identify the most effective strategies for building more diverse product lines, production techniques and technical workforce and to bring best practices to communities in the province;
Project Beneficiaries:
This proposed development program intends to assist the small bag making communities in Bohol through the provision of a package of interventions that would render them capable of expanding production and improving product quality in order to graduate to a higher level of business. These communities include: Maribojoc Handicraft Weavers Association, Panglao Weavers Association, Lobgob Women’s Association, Loboc Arts and Crafts (Tigbao and Calunasan), and the Alburquerque Federated Rural Improvement Club.

The objective is to form an industry cluster where forward and backward linkages are strengthened through technology, product development and innovation, capability building, common service facilities, and market development among others.
