2. UNAIP Features (1)
Provides [strategic direction towards localizing the AI services]
Harmonizes the undertakings of BAI, LDC, PCC, NDA & RFUs in carrying out efficient and effective livestock breeding programs using AI technology
Provides better opportunities for livestock farming communities by enhancing their competitiveness through an institutionalized AI delivery system at the village level

3. UNAIP Features (2) BAI as the lead implementing agency
Further intensify institutional capability of LGUs through:
Development of human resources (trainings)
Provision of equipment & logistics support (tanks, AI guns, LN2)
Strengthening of institutional linkages (National Livestock Agencies, RFUs, LGUs, Academe)

4. UNAIP Features (3) Relationship of UNAIP to the NGRIP
It is the means of providing superior genetic materials in the form of semen to clientele – backyard farmers

Increase AI conception rate of cattle & water buffaloes at the field level to 65% & 45% respectively
Improve the AI coverage at LGUs
Provincial level – 90%
Municipal level – 50%

7. Strategies (1)
Organize & integrate the smallholders into the total production and marketing systems
AI is a tool in achieving productivities, either for beef or dairy
Strengthening of partnerships with other stakeholders, i.e. academe & business / market community
Promote sustainable AI through costsharing scheme

8. Strategies (2)

Basic AI course = 30 days
Refresher AI course (inactive) = 15 days
Refresher AI course (active) = 7 days
Incentive, rewards & recognition system that are “output-driven”
Cash-calf incentive PhP 100
Outstanding AI Technician, PAIC & Region

10. Strategies (4) Promotion of village-based approach (PCC)
Espouse on the use of natural estrous
Resource generation & mobilization
