PH - COMMUNITY BASED RESO

closed

The Community-based Resources Management Project seeks to reduce rural poverty and environmental degradation through support for locally generated and implemented natural resource management projects. This project consists of four components. First, subloans for local government units (LGUs) subprojects will support investments in upland agriculture, community forestry, coastal resources and nearshore fisheries, and small scale rural infrastructure. Second, Municipal Development Fund (MDF) rural window initiative and project management will support the overall project management and the appraisal of subprojects. Third, planning and implementation support for LGUs will provide training in preparing development plans, and will manage procurement and financial matters. Fourth, environmental technology transfer and policy management will a) support DENR (Department of Environment and Natural Resources) in site verification, training, and conducting studies on tenurial instruments; b) will support the production and packaging of technology, verification of technology, and preparation of environment reports; and c) will finance the technical services for coastal and aquatic resources.
