| Title: | Philippines - Second Cordillera Highlands Agricultural Resource Management Project (CHARMP2)- June - 2017 |
| Description: |
Roasted coffee being cooled by Teodora Baliga of the Sadsadan Advocates for Social Development Organization (SASDO) in Bauko, a municipality in the Philippines’ northern Mountain Province. Thanks to funds received through IFAD’s Second Cordillera Highland Agricultural Resource Management Project (CHARMP 2), SASDO was able to start a coffee processing business which provides additional income to Teodora and her fellow members. CHARMP 2 has also helped local farmers start to grow their own coffee, which will also be processed by SASDO once the plants reach maturity. 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.
