Community Extension Program Challenges: Development of a Management Information System

This study proposes the development of a Management Information System (MIS) designed to streamline the planning, implementation, and evaluation of Community Extension Programs (CEPs). By automating data collection, progress tracking, and reporting, the MIS aims to improve transparency, accountability, and resource optimization. The system will also support data-driven decision-making, enabling program administrators to adjust strategies in real time based on measurable outcomes. Ultimately, the proposed MIS seeks to modernize the management of community extension initiatives, ensuring their effectiveness, scalability, and long-term sustainability. The findings and outputs of this study are expected to benefit a wide range of stakeholders, including educational institutions, faculty and student volunteers, community members, and other organizations involved in community development.
