DOST deploys micro-hydro and microenterprise projects in Davao Region
What happened
The Department of Science and Technology deployed a micro-hydro power system in Purok 5, Barangay Awao, Monkayo, Davao de Oro, as part of the “Microgridterprises” initiative. This program provides renewable energy microgrids and establishes community-led microenterprises in off-grid areas. Barangay Awao is one of four selected sites, with the others located in Davao de Oro and Davao del Norte.

Why it matters
The initiative targets communities that lack access to electricity and aims to foster economic self-reliance for residents. By providing microgrids and supporting microenterprises, the project offers sustainable livelihood support in remote parts of the Davao Region.
A partnership was established between the Department of Science and Technology and a Local Government Unit for project implementation.
