| Title: | Philippines - Second Cordillera Highlands Agricultural Resource Management Project (CHARMP2)- June - 2017 |
| Description: |
Jericko Begseng is a member of the Nalbengan-Otbong Irrigator's Association in Bobok-Bisal, a remote municipality in the Philippines’ northern Cordillera Administrative Region. Thanks to an IFAD-funded communal irrigation system which pipes water over from a stream on another mountain several kilometres away, the Association is able to water the plants in their nursery, as part of a local reforestation effort supported by the Government's National Greening Program. IFAD’s Second Cordillera Highland Agricultural Resource Management Project (CHARMP 2) builds on the first CHARM Project, which contributed to reducing poverty among indigenous peoples in the highlands of the Cordillera Administrative Region, in the northern Philippines. It aims to reduce poverty and improve the livelihoods of indigenous peoples living in the poorest areas in all six provinces of the region. CHARMP 2 combines several innovative features in developing indigenous communities in remote areas. These include: strengthening participatory systems of community planning, monitoring and evaluation; enhancing the capacity of indigenous peoples and their councils of elders to take the lead in forestry/agroforestry management activities; providing funds for livelihood assistance to small groups; and commercialization of the products of indigenous peoples through market linkages.
