Abstract	This study assessed the level of implementation and livelihood outcomes of the DTI Go Negosyo Program as perceived by grantees in Boston, Province of Davao Oriental. Specifically, it examined the demographic profile of the respondents, the level of program implementation in terms of training and capacity-building, financial and credit assistance, and market linkages and promotion, and the level of livelihood outcomes. It also determined whether significant differences exist in program implementation and livelihood outcomes when respondents are grouped according to their demographic profiles. In addition, the study explored the challenges and barriers experienced by grantees in establishing and sustaining their businesses, and formulated recommendations to enhance program effectiveness. A descriptive-comparative research design utilizing both quantitative and qualitative methods was employed. Data were gathered from 80 grantee-respondents through survey questionnaires and follow-up qualitative inquiries. Statistical tools such as mean, standard deviation, and ANOVA were used for quantitative analysis, while thematic analysis was applied for qualitative data interpretation. Findings revealed that the overall level of program implementation was High (M = 2.94), with training and capacity-building obtaining the highest rating. The livelihood outcomes were also rated High (M = 3.10), indicating positive effects on income, market access, and entrepreneurial skills. Significant differences were found in program implementation in terms of age and sources of income, while gender, income level, and other demographic variables showed no significant differences. For livelihood outcomes, significant differences were observed in terms of gender, sources of income, and the number of trainings attended. The study also identified key challenges such as market competition, financial constraints, digital limitations, administrative requirements, and lack of sustained support. The study concludes that the DTI Go Negosyo Program is generally effective in improving livelihood outcomes; however, its impact is influenced by demographic factors and structural barriers. It is recommended that the program strengthen continuous mentoring, simplify financial processes, enhance digital access, and improve market linkage support to ensure inclusive and sustainable entrepreneurial development.
