| Title: | Philippines - Second Cordillera Highlands Agricultural Resource Management Project (CHARMP2)- June - 2017 |
| Description: |
This nursery belongs to the Ili Seedling Growers (ISG) association, which was formed by farmers who attended a farmer field school thanks to IFAD’s Second Cordillera Highland Agricultural Resource Management Project (CHARMP 2). Located in the village of Ili, in the Apayao province of the mountains in the northern Philippines, 23 local farmers learnt methods of fruit production and tree maintenance, including seedling preparation, grafting, and intercropping. Since then, all the households in the village have planted fruit trees in their own garden, and their seedling production has expanded beyond self-consumption to selling a much wider range of plants on the local market. 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.
