GKBI National Workshop on GK Caretaker Training Program

The School is spearheading the efforts to build capacities for Gawad Kalinga staff, volunteers, and partners through the GK Builders Institute (GKBI). This partnership produced the first GK Field Manuals for executive committees, volunteers, and caretakers, copies of which have been distributed in the Philippines, Singapore, the United States and Australia. The GKBI also designed the GK Caretaker Training Program and was also involved in crafting Bayan-Anihan (BA), GK's food sufficiency program. The GKBI in the Ateneo School of Government has also been instrumental in attracting more LGU's to partner with GK through its Township Development Program. It is currently designing and piloting more training modules and new programs in response to GK's growing needs.
