On May 18, 2026, the Provincial Government of Abra, with Vice Governor Anne A. Bersamin and partners from DOST, TESDA, SWAD-Abra, and LGU Luba, launched PROJECT HIVE (Harnessing Innovation for Village Empowerment); a community-driven initiative opening new doors for sustainable livelihoods.

Participants were trained in banana-based food processing, honey and calamansi product development, and beekeeping innovations, guided by experts from DOST. The program also extended financial assistance to selected beneficiaries to help kickstart and grow local enterprises.

Rooted in collaboration and innovation, PROJECT HIVE strengthens rural communities by turning skills into sustainable income and opportunity.
