The Development Academy of the Philippines (DAP) organized a face-to-face training course on Gainsharing in Agribusiness Enterprises in Manila, 20–24 May. The objectives were to introduce concepts and strategies of gainsharing and profit sharing, examine methodologies to design gainsharing plans and strategies, and explore gainsharing approaches for fostering a more equitable distribution of gains across agricultural value chains.

Twenty-five participants from 18 APO members completed the training course, guided by four resource persons from Bangladesh, India, Malaysia, and the Philippines. Participants learned about gainsharing concepts through case studies and practical exercises, including designing action plans. A highlight of the course was a site visit to the Sorosoro Ibaba Development Cooperative, showcasing successful examples of gainsharing initiatives.
