AsiaDHRRA welcomed Mr. Sangho Park, Senior Programme Specialist, from the International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD) for a supervision visit on June 20, 2025, at the secretariat office in Quezon City.  Joined by Ms. Genesis Catindig-Reyes, IFAD’s Country Program Analyst in the Philippines, and Ms. Katlea Itong, PhilDHRRA’s National Coordinator, the brief meeting discussed the latest accomplishment of the Smallholder Economic Empowerment through Digital Solutions (SEEDS) Project.

The SEED’s annual progress report, including financial matters and updates from farmer organization partners in the Philippines benefiting from the program, was highlighted. The activity is part of IFAD’s regular Supervision and Implementation Support (SIS) mission to monitor projects with its stakeholders, including field visits to farmers’ organization partners.

SEEDS is AsiaDHRRA’s program, co-implemented by GrowAsia, funded by the Korean Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs (MAFRA) through IFAD, and implemented in Cambodia, the Philippines, and Vietnam.
