In CY 2018, the ARBDSP replaced the Technical Advisory Support Services (TASS) of DAR. It is a key service delivery program that is geared at providing the ARBs and smallholder farmers and their organizations with appropriate interventions to make them more productive, enterprising, and become active players in community endeavors. The services are delivered to the beneficiaries either individually or collectively through their organizations (ARBOs) and/or communities/areas (ARCs, ARC clusters, ARAs), either through direct implementation or facilitation and coordination with the other CIAs such as the DPWH, LBP, NIA, DOLE and DTI and other CARP key stakeholders such as the POs, NGO, CSOs, the academe, the business/private sector, other GFIs, etc.
