Synopsis (short abstract) This project was formulated in response to a request by the Government of the Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao ( in the Philippines for support to enhance the technical capacity of extension personnel in climate resilient agriculture ( This increased technical capacity is called for in the Food Security and Nutrition Roadmap of BARMM and the Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Agrarian Reform ( as a way to increase the resilience of livelihoods in the Bangsamoro The Roadmap further states that agriculture and fishery communities' ability to cope with climatic, environmental, and socioeconomic shocks and stresses is key to achieving the region's goals for economic growth, food security and sustainable peace The project design included capacity building interventions on CRA for staff of the MAFAR, provincial and municipal extension workers and farmers The implementation of Farmer Field Schools ( and Farm Business Schools ( was also included.

    The project Enhancing community resilience to climate change in mountain watersheds (GCP/GLO/042/JPN) is implemented by the Forestry Division (NFO) of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) and funded by the Forestry Agency of the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries of Japan (MAFF). It aims to strengthen the capacities of institutions and communities in forest-based disaster risk reduction (DRR) in mountain watersheds and increase the resilience of local populations through sustainable agricultural value chains for improved livelihoods.The document presents the successful implementation of identified Eco DRR measures – including on-farm adaptation practices, capacity development and agricultural value chain development, undertaken collaboratively with country and global partners – and exemplifies the role of healthy ecosystems and the benefits of Eco DRR measures for mountain livelihoods and community resilience. This serves as a cornerstone for scaling up the impact of these initiatives in other mountain regions.

    Enhancing Community Resilience to Climate Change in Mountain Watersheds - GCP/GLO/042/JPN 2025
    Also available in:
    Mountain areas in developing countries are particularly vulnerable to the effects of climate change, such as increases in the frequency and magnitude of extreme weather events and natural hazards. In this context, forests and other mountain ecosystems play a crucial role in reducing negative impacts for both upstream and downstream communities. Mountain ecosystems, which mainly consist of forestland and agricultural land, demonstrate multiple functions such as biodiversity conservation, conservation of the global environment, prevention of natural disasters, land conservation, among others. Given that forestry and agriculture are often the backbone of mountain economies, sustainable agricultural practices can effectively serve as a tool for land conservation and thereby ensure sustainable livelihoods while improving the resilience of farmer communities. However, due to increased exposure to pressures of land use change, climate change, exploitation, and so on, forests and agricultural land are being degraded. In response to these issues, the project focused on strengthening the capacities of institutions and communities on the risk-based watershed management approach for forest and land use management.
