Synopsis (short abstract) This brief critically reviewed and analysed soil-related strategies and legislative frameworks in the Philippines, with the aim of providing targeted recommendations to policymakers for addressing existing and potential policy gaps and strengthening implementation and monitoring of impacts mechanisms. The analysis evaluated these strategies and legislative frameworks based on how well they address critical soil threats specific to the country, as well as the extent to which they are implemented, monitored, and improved over time. The assessment, supported by officers from relevant government agencies and institutions, focused on evaluating the following key criteria:1. Legislative Frameworks: evaluation of the number and type of existing strategies and legislative frameworks and their effectiveness in addressing the dominant soil threats in the country. 2. Institutional Arrangements: analysis of government agencies or institutions' roles in the formulation, implementation and monitoring of soil strategies and legislative frameworks, as well as their mechanism of collaboration and information exchange.3. Implementation: evaluation of the strategies in place for promoting, monitoring, and assessing the implementation of soil-related strategies and legislative frameworks, including enforcement mechanisms. 4. Feedback System: evaluation of the processes for ongoing improvement of soil strategies and legislative frameworks based on outcomes and stakeholder feedback.
