The promotion of Rural Employment through Self-Employment and Entrepreneurship 
Development (PRESEED) is a response to the limited wage employment opportunities 
available in the rural areas. It is designed to promote self-employment among 
rural workers and their families who have entrepreneurial potential by providing 
them access to the entrepreneurship training, credit and technical assistance.

    Specifically, the program is address to the "assetless" and 
landless rural workers who are capable of absorbing new entrepreneurial activities.

    PRESEED is a joint undertaking of the Bureau of Rural Workers, the DOLE-Regional 
Offices, the National Manpower and Youth Council, Non-Government organizations which 
serve as the program's "eligible conducts" for its loan facility.

    Pilot implementation of PRESEED started in Regions 6 and 10 and will be implemented 
in Regions 2, 4, 5, 7, 8 and 12.
