March 29, 2021 sibatweb OUR WORK

Sixty (60) select indigenous men and women representing 10 barangays in Abra went through an intensive two-day Microhydro Operations and Maintenance Training conducted by SIBAT last March 25-26 in Tubo Abra. The trainees were chosen by their respective communities based on their interest and willingness to do the job. Those who commit for the training should have no plan of leaving the community in the next two years. This is to equip local partners with at least the basic technical know how in operating and maintaining their michrohydro systems to lessen downtimes and breakdowns.

APFSD8 : Appropriate Technology Choice for Alternative Development of Asian Countries – Toward A Sustainable Post-Pandemic Society

The framework can lead to the sustainable and resilient post-pandemic society, where basic needs such as water, foods and electricity are supplied locally and self-sufficiently, participatory small to medium scale local industries are developed, and local people associate and exchange widely and inter-locally.
