EVALUATION OF OPERATION PANSAYAN (PROVISION OF TOILET FACILITIES) COMMUNITY EXTENSION PROJECT

Abstract

As community extensionists, itis a vital step to evaluate the effectiveness of a project in attaining its objectives. This prodded the proponents to conduct an evaluation study to determine ifinstallation of toilet facilities (Operation Pansayan) indeed contributed to the development of the community. CIPP model and Dependency-Self Sufficiency Continuum were used as framework of this descriptive-evaluative study. Results showed that most of the activities were classified in direct services promoting more of dependency rather than self-sufficiency. Eleven households were successfully installed with CRs. In conclusion it can be said that, though the extentionists have not fully achieved its goals, the project provided us with a lot oflearningthatcan guide us in ourfutureextension activities and other institutions in properly conducting an extension proJect. But itis noticeable that the faculty extensionists do not have ample time in conducting extension activities since they are also required to teach students and generate new knowledge with the promotion and guidance for research work. So proper implementation is necessary with further planning and time management.
