Abstract: This study evaluates the social and economic impacts of the ICT literacy training program conducted for the members of the Camingawan-Tagukon Farmers Association (CATAFA) in Kabankalan, Negros Occidental, Philippines. Using a mixed-methods approach, the study collected data through surveys, key informant interviews (KIIs), focus group discussions (FGDs), and document analysis to comprehensively assess the program's outcomes. Findings reveal that the training has significantly improved participants' digital literacy, productivity, and awareness of sustainable practices.
