DAR COMPETENCIES

The Department of Agrarian Reform (DAR) remains steadfast in its commitment to empower agrarian reform beneficiaries and promote equitable land distribution as enshrined in its vision of a "just, safe, and equitable agrarian society founded on tenurial security, empowered rural communities, and sustainable development." To realize this, DAR’s mission is clear: to lead in the implementation of comprehensive agrarian reform and deliver support services that uplift the lives of Filipino farmers.

Anchored on this vision and mission, DAR has established a competency framework that guides its personnel in delivering responsive and transformative public service. These competencies are categorized into three domains:

• Core Competencies reflect the essential values and behaviors expected of all DAR employees in embodying integrity, accountability, and service excellence in every aspect of their work.

• Functional Competencies pertain to the specific technical skills and knowledge necessary for effective program and service delivery across agrarian reform operations.

• Leadership Competencies define the capabilities required to inspire, direct, and sustain high-performing teams and strategic initiatives in support of DAR’s long-term goals.

Together, these competencies ensure that DAR personnel are not only aligned with institutional goals but are also equipped to serve as catalysts for genuine rural development and agrarian justice.
