Abstract
One of the mandates of HEIs is to formulate Income Generating Projects (IGPs) that will help financially augment its operations as well as for sustaining its extension programs. This study investigated the best practices of Income Generating Projects implementers among State Universities and Colleges in the Philippines in terms of monitoring,evaluation, procurement and supply management, and governance and program management. In measuring the IGP performance, this study considered the revenues of the model Income Generating Projects (IGPs) of the participating SUCs. This study used the methodological triangulation methodology in improving the internal validity of the research findings. Thematic analysis was used to analyze qualitative data, which were compared and converged to discover areas of similarity andcomplementarity. The participating SUCs shared many best practices that are worth emulating especially by SUCs who do not have their IGPs or could serve as their model. It is also recommended that extension programs should focus among the youngest members of the communities because many studies proved that early childhood education and intervention yield many long-term benefits for children.
