SETUP online database takes off in Visayas

After initially developing the DOST SETUP Projects Online in Mindanao The Department of Science and Technology is now on the process of extending the database to include data on projects from the Visayas and Luzon regions.

The DOST SETUP Projects Online is a web-based GIS that features the location of the projects and the interventions of the DOST to the MSMES in the country. A search facility allows one to find projects by major categories, by region, province, district and city/municipality. Each project location features a profile of the project and photos of the progress of implementation.

Currently, the site is hosted by GEOPLAN, a non government foundation that provides solutions and applications that makes use of geographic information systems (GIS) technology. GEOPLAN is responsible for the development of the project in close coordination with DOST Regional Office No. 7.

The DOST-8, through its designated project Administrator Ms. Mae Anne Reyes, has recently given signal to the PSTDs in Region 8 for the inputting of the necessary data and information.

The database for Mindanao can be initially accessed through http://geoplan.ph/dost-setup
