    Technical Assistance for Developing a Digital Mapping System of the Community-Based Organizations (CBOs) - TCP/PHI/3806 2024

    Hunger, malnutrition, and poverty are key concerns in the Philippines. To address these issues, the Government of the Philippines created the Enhanced Partnership Against Hunger and Poverty (EPAHP) with 11 government agencies to support the goals of the Philippine Plan of Action for Nutrition (PPAN) 2017-2022. Under the EPAHP Convergence Program, these agencies sought to improve the provision of food to impoverished and malnourished school children through their flagship Feeding Program. However, unreliable food sources and unstable food availability often hindered the operation of its feeding centres. In this regard, the EPAHP lead agency, the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD), requested support from the Food and Agricultural Organization of the United Nations (FAO) to improve the program’s operational processes through a web-based digital mapping system (DMS). Normally, national government agencies and local government units engage community-based organizations (CBOs), including farmers and cooperatives, to secure food for their local feeding centres. However, before this project, EPAHP partners did not have a standardized process for accrediting CBOs, nor a system for mapping and registering these entities. Although the DSWD already utilized a guide for targeting possible suppliers – the Community Participation Procurement Manual (CPPM) – stakeholders believed that a digital database would be more effective, especially in assisting feeding centres to locate and contact CBOs for immediate needs.

    Support to Enhancing Farm Tourism in the Philippines for Inclusive Rural Development - TCP/PHI/3805 2024

    The Farm Tourism Development Act of 2016 and its Implementing Rules and Regulations were enacted to support the development and promotion of farm tourism in the Philippines. They provide the policy and enabling environment for farm tourism in the country while recognizing the importance of agriculture in making available food and other products necessary to sustain and enhance human life, and highlighting the role of farm tourism as an important pillar for employment and productivity, and sustainable livelihoods. Farm tourism is defined as the practice of attracting visitors and tourists to farm areas for productive, educational and recreational purposes. It involves any agricultural or fishery-based operation or activity that brings to a farm visitors, tourists, farmers and fisherfolk who want to be educated and trained in farming and its related activities. The Department of Tourism, the agency mandated to promote agritourism for countryside development and the preservation of rural life, expects the number of accredited farm tourism sites in the country to increase with the completion of the Farm Tourism Strategic Action Plan. Farm tourism is one of the priority programmes under the Tourism Response and Recovery Programme, the strategic plan of the DoT to counteract the social and economic impact of COVID 19 on tourism workers and enterprises, and revive domestic tourism in the country.
