 2. Action Research

The contents of action research program in the past tended to include and expand diverse activities related to community needs. Consequently, a vast amount of data have been generated in diverse activities ranging from income generating activities to welfare activities. The process of analysis and interpretation of this information has already started so as to establish the status of the major objectives of action research activities.
