FAO in the Philippines
T his Country Programming Framework (CPF) is anchored on five (5) government priority areas to
guide FAO partnership and support to the Government of Philippines – bringing together
innovative international best practices and global standards with national and regional expertise
during six (6)years from 2018 to 2024.
The CPF was prepared following consultation and agreement with the National Economic and
Development Authority (NEDA), departments of Agriculture (DA), Environment and Natural Resources
(DENR), Agrarian Reform (DAR), Science and Technology (DOST) and 20 other government agencies, UN
organizations, development partners, and civil society organizations(CSOs) including private sector. This
document was also developed by taking into account the priorities of the Philippine Development Plan
(PDP) 2017 – 2022, the draft United Nations – Philippine Partnership Framework for Sustainable
Development (PFSD) 2019 – 2023, as well as other national policies, strategies, and plans related to the
agriculture, fisheries, and forestry (AFF) sector.
Country context and priorities
The Philippine Development Plan 2017-2022 strives to lay a stronger foundation for inclusive growth, a
high trust society, and a globally-competitive economy toward fulfilling the national vision by 2040.1
Within the mandate of FAO, five (5) government priorities were identified:(i) accelerating human capital
development, specifically the outcome on improved nutrition for all;(ii) expanding economic
opportunities in the AFF sector; (iii) ensuring ecological integrity, clean and healthy environment; (iv)
reducing vulnerability of individuals and families; and (v) attaining just and lasting peace.
The provision of quality nutrition through food security is one of the strategies to accelerate human
capital development. It focuses on strengthening the multi-sectoral and multilevel approaches to
nutrition through improvement on coverage, timeliness, reliability, consistency and coherence of
disaggregated administrative survey data (e.g. gender sensitive analytics). With improved nutrition, the
government anticipates: (i) to increase the proportion of households meeting the 100% recommended
energy intake from 31.7 percent to 37.1 percent by end 2022; and (ii) to decrease the prevalence of
stunting among children under 5-year old from 33.4 percent to 21.4 percent by end of 2025.
1Vision 2040 is defined as “strongly-rooted, comfortable, and secure” life for the Filipinos by 2040 that include home ownership, a steady source of income to
support family and self, college education for the children and other amenities to cover daily needs, savings for retirement, travel and vacation, among others (PDP
2017-2022).
FAO Philippines Country Programming Framework 2018 – 2024
1
Improving productivity within ecological limits and increasing AFF-based enterprises are the key drivers
to expanding economic opportunities in AFF. Increasing access to improved services by small farmers,
and fisherfolks focuses on the intensification of value chains; equitable use of natural resources (e.g.
land and water) through the completion of land reform and implementing best practices and platforms
for delivering credit, marketing and technology (R&D)2. Expanded economic opportunities measured in
terms of the growth of GVA and labor productivity in AFF are projected to increase from 0.1 percent to
within the range of 2.5-3.5 percent and from 4.6 percent to within the range of 5-6 percent by the end
of 2022, respectively.
The principle for the restoration of degraded natural resources is sustainable integrated area
development (SIAD) including participatory environmental governance. Key strategies include the
implementation of ridge-to-reef approach and SIAD; expanding the development of resource-based
enterprises; and mainstreaming ecosystem values in national and local development planning. These
will be complemented by intensive enforcement of ENR laws and implementation of climate change
adaptation/mitigation (CCAM) and disaster risk reduction and management (DRRM). The government
expects to improve the quality of existing coastal and marine habitats (1.235 million ha) by end 2022.3It
will decrease land degradation hotspots from 2.3 million ha to about 2 million ha while improved
capacities in CCA and Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR) will increase the resilience index of the various
ecosystems by end 2022.4
Reducing vulnerability of individuals and families is another priority as Filipinos face a compound
challenge of both natural and human induced disasters. This is evident in the Autonomous Region in
Muslim Mindanao (ARMM) where communities suffer from the costly outcome of people displacement.
The government copes with those avoidable risks through the nationwide roll-out of climate
vulnerability and disaster risk assessment; establishment of facilities for adaptation including risk
transfer mechanism; and provision of adequate transition houses and livelihood opportunities for
displaced people during early rehabilitation and recovery periods.
Attaining just and lasting peace complements the four other priorities in enhancing the social fabric. The
government will achieve this by implementing peace-promoting development projects through a
rationalized and coordinated delivery, as best exemplified in the conflict areas in Mindanao where the
government and development partners have worked harmoniously in providing emergency assistance
and livelihood opportunities for displaced people in farming and fishing communities. The achievement
of peace in Mindanao is being hastened through steadfast pursuit of agribusiness.
FAO’s contribution and expected results
Given the five above priorities, CPF 2018-2024 will address five PDP Country Outcomes: (1) improved
nutrition for all; (2) expanded economic opportunities in AFF; (3) ensured ecological integrity, clean and
healthy environment; (4) reduced vulnerabilities among families and individuals; and (5) just and lasting
peace achieved. Improved nutrition for all is one of the outcomes under the priority on accelerating
human capital development. PDP outcomes 2 and 3 will be addressed together in the CPF, as well as 4
and 5 as they are inter-linked.5 Altogether there are three integrated PDP Country Outcomes (Annex 1).
Cross cutting concerns, such as among others gender and inclusiveness, will be given utmost
consideration in all facets of FAO interventions6 For gender specifically, FAO recognizes the need to
consider the varying needs depending on gender in the design of its interventions. Furthermore, the
2Of particular importance is improving the platform (e.g. technology business incubator) for commercialization and utilization of technologies from publicly
funded R&D to agriculture to enhance productivity (Chapter 14 of PDP, vigorously advancing science, technology and innovation).
3. The Plan does not specify numerical target by end of 2022.
4Ibid, target for baseline resilience index to be determined and numerical target by end 2022, unspecified
5Robust agriculture, fishery and forestry is dependent on healthy environment and natural resources (ENR). Reduced vulnerabilities as a result of nature or human-
induced disasters is likewise a pre-condition to just and lasting peace. Thus, the last 4 PDP priorities can be integrated into two outcomes. Moreover, PDP
priorities/approaches (4) and (5) (i.e. ecosystem based DRRM and CCAM) would contribute significantly to achievement of PDP priorities (1) and (2).
6In line with this, FAO is currently preparing the Country Gender Assessment to provide evidence-based gender information for project implementation. Moreover,
FAO will continue to pursue initiatives (e.g. advocacy, communication, partnership, and active participation to fora, among others) in support of the Sustainable
2 Development Goals (SDGs).
following FAO’s contribution and expected results were identified in alignment with the strategic
priorities of the draft United Nations – Philippine Partnership Framework for Sustainable Development
(PFSD) 2019 - 2023.

Country Outcome 1.
Improved nutrition for all
N utrition is a major challenge despite the rising food availability in the Philippines due to poor
diets.7Gaps that affect food and nutrition insecurity range from policy incoherence (e.g. rice self-
sufficiency) to disjointed planning and implementation (FNS Strategic Review, 2017). Rice self-
sufficiency policy deters farm diversification by way of lower budgets allocated to other (nutritious)
agricultural commodities vis-à-vis rice.8 Data gaps in terms of disaggregation, coverage, reliability and
consistency continue to constrain effective project planning, notably in food security and nutrition and
health interventions. In terms of implementation, the governance structure among the various agencies
is loosely coordinated; and downstream, the need for stronger support from the local government units
(LGUs) is necessary.
FAO will contribute to the achievement of PDP Country Outcome 1 by improving the enabling
environment on food and nutrition through capacity building and policy advice targeted mainly for LGUs.
Food security will be stressed as a goal beyond the production of rice and will contribute to the
overarching strategic pillar to lift the majority of the Filipinos out of poverty and food insecurity.9FAO
will implement two outputs: (i) improving institutional and community capacities to support and
mobilize resources to incorporate nutrition-sensitive food systems cum- social and gender equity
concerns in relevant national and local decision making processes; and (ii) strengthening institutional
capacities on information systems related to food security and nutrition (such as the Early Warning
System-Food and Nutrition Security (EWS-FNS) and Integrated Food Security Phase Classification (IPC)
and coordination for gender-disaggregated data collection, analysis, and monitoring across multi-
sectoral areas of food security and nutrition, food safety, as well as gender and social equity concerns
at the national and local levels. These outputs will improve the governance to enhance funding access
and synergy of implementing nutrition and food security interventions by national agencies and LGUs.
These will also enable national and local governments, communities and other key stakeholders to
demonstrate a positive behavior that promote overall well-being and foster a supportive environment
wherein their nutrition, food security, and health are protected.
7Philippines failed in halving malnutrition in 2015 (MDG target). Stunting among children below 5-year-old is above 30 percent since 1990.
8 As an illustrative, the 2018budget of DA for production and support services for rice is 56 percent vis-à-vis the 18 percent allocated to high value crops and organic
agriculture (2018 GAA).
9 Poverty incidence in the Philippines stood at 21.6 percent in 2015, compared to 34.3 percent among farmers during the same period, thus poverty was hardly
resolved.
4Country Outcome 2.
Expanded economic opportunities in AFF and ensured
ecological integrity, clean and healthy environment
D eclining productivity and non-competitiveness are two issues affecting the growth of AFF
sector.10 Productivity continued to deteriorate because of the limited spread of technology
coupled by the unending degradation of the natural resources.11The sector experienced regular
contractions and is highly vulnerable to climate-variability12. The non-competitiveness of the sector
stems from: (i) limited market support and undeveloped value chains: (ii) inadequate network of public
infrastructure needed to support commodity value chains; (iii) insufficient investment in R&D; (iv)
limited diversification of the farming system; and (v) high post-harvest losses ranging from 15 percent
in rice to 50 percent in fruits and vegetables (WB 2014). Moreover, damages and losses as well as the
often underreported/poorly assessed long term impacts of recurrent disasters also affect the sector
productivity and competitiveness.Thus, the sector has not maximized commodities with significant
revealed comparative advantage (RCA).13Several issues likewise require attention on the management
of ENR: (i) weak enforcement of ENR laws; (ii) inadequate efforts on DRR and CCA; (iii) and limited private
sector investments in CCA and DRRM initiatives such as risk transfer mechanism (PDP 2017-2022).
13. FAO will contribute to the achievement of PDP Country Outcome 2 by implementing two outputs:
(i) strengthening institutional coordination and technical capacity for gender-equitable sustainable
management and competitive utilization of AFF and ENR through inclusive value chains; and (ii)
improving access of poor rural producers, small farmers, fisherfolks, agrarian reform beneficiaries, and
other value chain actors, including IPs to appropriate global technologies and production cum post-
harvest practices, inputs, markets, as well as to sustainable agribusiness value chains combined with
social protection systems. FAO will focus on the use of multi-sectoral approach as the main strategy to
improve farm production and productivity of food staples and high value crops (HVC), including forest-
based products. Initiatives will be carried out mainly through the use of adaptive and climate resilient
technologies vis-à-vis different landscapes. The extension system will be further enhanced by
10Total factor productivity in agriculture persisted at a low level of 0.2 percent annually over the last two decades, way below the 1 percent in Thailand; 1.5 percent
in Indonesia and 4.7 percent in China (WB 2010).
11 Low spread of technology is due to high cost of production inputs, weak extension system and limited access to financing. On the one hand, the degradation of
the natural resources is very serious with the following status: (a) extreme high biodiversity loss with 284 species considered endangered; (b) coastal and marine
resources with less than 3 percent in pristine condition; and (c) only 15 percent of the 1,300 marine protected areas (MPAs) with decent management.
12 Vulnerability of Philippine agriculture to climate change (CC) impacts, either through flooding, prolonged drought and/or landslide is extremely high. Spatial
analysis revealed that roughly 67 percent (20 million ha) of the country’s total land area is likely to be affected by climate change impacts, and 86 percent of which
is in agriculture alone. Roughly 86 percent includes production areas, farm to market roads, warehouse, post-harvest facilities, irrigation infrastructure, and
mariculture parks and fish ports. This also includes collateral damage to farm equipment and fishing gears, including lives of farmers and fisher folks (Godilano, E.C.
2009-2010).
13 Agricultural commodities with significant RCA include banana, papaya, mango, pineapple, abaca, sugar cane and fresh vegetables.
FAO Philippines Country Programming Framework 2018 – 2024
5decentralized establishment of climate smart farmer field school (CSFFS) jointly with the LGUs.
Sustainable AFF practices and ENR management will underpin the new role of small producers and
indigenous peoples (IPs) not only as mere producing agents but more importantly as resource
stewards.14 Innovative institutional arrangements (e.g. certification, contract farming, out-grower
schemes) shall be strengthened to enable small farmers to enter into supply or marketing arrangements
with agribusiness firms to support the employment for upland farmers, IPs, fisherfolks, and rural
women. These initiatives will ensure that national and local governments, communities and key
stakeholders will benefit from economic growth and climate change actions and promote sustainable
and equitable development paths.
14 As resource stewards and producing agents, extraction/harvesting must be tempered with good agricultural practices to ensure sustainability of production. The
prime consideration is to prevent irreversible productivity loss of land, forest, marine and municipal waters. More often than not, the conflict over regulatory
powers between LGUs and specialized bodies over natural resource exploitation weakens the enforcement of ENR laws that is exacerbated by the absence of
science-based information on safe carrying capacity.
6Country Outcome 3.
Reduced vulnerabilities among individuals and
families and just and lasting peace achieved
T he government’s capability to minimize the vulnerability and strengthen resilience of individuals,
families and rural communities affected by climate change (CC) impacts and disasters including
human-induced disasters needs to be strengthened. For example, the inadequate knowledge by
LGUs staff to use available geospatial information prevents the urgently needed risk assessment of
vulnerable areas to inform planning and interventions. Further the relatively weak capacity of line
agencies and LGUs in project formulation deprives their opportunities to access available funds intended
for CCAM and DRRM. The policy regime for risk transfer mechanisms is deficient, and lacks innovation
to attract private sector investment in DRRM.15Threats posed by zoonotic epidemics (e.g. bird flu) and
other risks attendant to animal health, food safety, phytosanitary and quarantine issues likewise
warrant early detection mechanisms that are not yet available in agencies tasked to prevent the spread
of these diseases. Exacerbated by other developments such as natural resources degradation, land use
change, urbanization as well as market fluctuations, the nature of risks to AFF especially smallholders is
becoming more complex than ever. And finally, the unfinished peace and development agenda in
Mindanao necessitates harnessing of the comparative advantages of both Bangsamoro (ARMM) and
non-Bangsamoro (more developed) due to perceived inequity between these regions. Exhaustive
recovery and rehabilitation efforts brought about by conflicts are essential in Mindanao to bring it into
a prosperous region. The more developed regions also necessitate the full harnessing of their vast
natural resources to be able to pull ARMM region into the mainstream of inclusive economic growth.
15. FAO will contribute to the achievement of PDP Country Outcome 3 by implementing two outputs:
(i) improving/strengthening capacities of national agencies and LGUs and key stakeholders, including
farmers, for emergency preparedness and inclusive response to climate extreme events, natural and
human-induced disasters and emergencies; and (ii) enhancing capacity of vulnerable population to
access information, appropriate risk reduction and transfer mechanism, and adaptation practices and
resources to reduce vulnerability and enhance resilience. FAO contribution will revolve on capacitating
context-specific support to farm households living in hazard prone areas through intensive adoption of
the twin elements (adaptation and mitigation) of climate smart agriculture. DRRM practices will be
improved by capacitating public institutions to put in place specific DRRM work plan, including one-
health approach, better analysis of climate, temperature, rainfall, zoonotic and other risk data, early
15Shifting the financial consequences of particular risks from farmers to private sector entity (banks, agribusiness firms, etc.) whereby the latter obtain resources
from the private sector entity after a disaster occurs in exchange for financial benefits (e.g. insurance).
FAO Philippines Country Programming Framework 2018 – 2024
7warning and mechanism for early actions including through social protections systems. Resilient
livelihoods through profitable social enterprises tempered with conservation efforts will be promoted
in upland as well as in coastal and marine areas (e.g. aquaculture/blue growth) especially in conflict
areas in Mindanao16. These initiatives will ensure community resilience through risk-informed, gender-
responsive initiatives, and equitable access to socio-economic opportunities and resources. At the same
time, promote a common understanding of diversity and inequalities of areas affected by conflict to
accelerate sustainable and equitable development for just and lasting peace in Mindanao.
16 In 2015, FAO drafted the Mindanao Strategic Programme for Agriculture and Agribusiness (MSPAA) 2015-2020 to accelerate the peace and transitional
development efforts in ARMM (Bangsamoro) and non-Bangsamoro as intensified growth centres. To this date, MSPAA and the latest FAO Response to Marawi
(Emergency assistance linked to short to medium-term recovery and rehabilitation of the agriculture and fisheries sector) will serve as blueprint for “conflict shocks”
in Mindanao development.
8Implementation, monitoring and reporting arrangements
T otal resource requirement for CPF 2018-2024 is estimated at USD22.6 million, USD6.4 million of
which is available. About USD 16.2 million shall be raised through resource mobilization, USD13.2
million of which is projected to be sourced from development partners and USD3 million through
Technical Cooperation Programme (TCP).This estimate does not include resource requirement for the
provision of emergency relief interventions. During the last six years, an average of USD 1.7 million was
mobilized annually for emergency relief17. FAO will continue to leverage funding and technical
cooperation from the Global Environment Facility (GEF), Green Climate Fund (GCF), and the Unilateral
Trust Fund (UTF) to source for a bigger share of funds for future initiatives.
Technical and strategic partnerships will be jointly pursued, underscoring gender equality, with the
Government of the Philippines, development partners, CSOs, academe, members in Congress and
through strengthened partnerships with the private sector for enhanced coordination and aid
effectiveness.18FAO will also continue pursuing initiatives on the FAO- Legislative Advisory Group
Philippines (FLAGPH) to provide platform for lawmakers from both Houses of Congress (the Senate and
the lower House) and FAO to discuss, deliberate, and review pending bills and other legislative actions
related to FAO thematic area, among others. Moreover, FAO will closely coordinate with the World Food
Programme (WFP), International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD), and other UN agencies to
ensure convergence and complementary efforts in project planning and implementation. The
Government of the Philippines and FAO look forward to seeking collaboration and support from all
concerned partners for the successful implementation of the CPF.
Periodic monitoring of the CPF implementation will be undertaken based on the targets given in Annex
1.A monitoring and evaluation (M&E) specialist will be designated by the FAO Country Representative.
Country Programme Evaluation by Office of Evaluation (OED) will be required as and when needed.
Major changes in country circumstances can be addressed by a CPF revision as and when needed.
17This amount excludes USD 39 million intended for Typhoon Haiyan in 2013 and 2014.

contribution to government priority 1,2 and 3Annex 2: UN-system linkage
F AO is actively engaged as part of the United Nations Country Team (UNCT) and is working closely
with UN agencies, particularly with Rome Based Agencies (RBAs) such as the World Food
Programme (WFP) and the International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD), to ensure
convergence and complementary efforts in the identification of priority needs, joint planning and
programming, as well as in the establishment of linkages, among others. Specific partnerships and
opportunities are also being explored with other agencies in areas of common interest.
Under the current UN Development Assistance Framework (UNDAF) 2012 – 2018, FAO acts as the lead
focal agency in providing effective overall strategic guidance in the implementation of Outcome Area
4: Resilience toward Disasters and Climate Change and has oversight functions over the three-
identified sub–outcomes, namely, (a) Disaster Risk Reduction and Management; (b) Climate Change
Adaptation; and (c) Environment and Natural Resources Protection and Conservation. FAO is also an
active member in two (2) other outcome groups on Decent and Productive Employment for Sustained,
Greener Growth (Outcome Area 2) and Democratic Governance (Outcome Area 3), and in the sub-
outcome group on Food and Nutrition Security (1.1). In addition to the UNDAF, FAO also actively
participates in other inter-UN working groups on Indigenous People (IP), Youth, and the Humanitarian
Country Team (HCT). Currently, the UNCT is in the process of finalizing the United Nations - Philippine
Partnership Framework for Sustainable Development (PFSD) 2019 - 2023. FAO, as a member of the
UNCT, actively provided technical inputs in the Common Country Assessment (CCA) as well as in the
finalization of the PFSD. This CPF was also prepared taking into account the draft PFSD. The work of
FAO in the Philippines, as outlined in this CPF, will contribute to the three (3) pillars of the PFSD that
focus on People, Planet/Prosperity, and Peace.
With regard to the linkage of FAO’s work to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), FAO’s current
programs and projects in the Philippines are directly contributing to the achievement of 14 out of the
17 SDGs, particularly on SDG 1: No Poverty, SDG 2: Zero Hunger, SDG 5: Gender Equality, SDG 6: Clean
Water and Sanitation, SDG 7: Affordable and Clean Energy, SDG 8: Decent Work and Economic Growth,
SDG 9: Industry, Innovation & Infrastructure, SDG 10: Reduced Inequalities, SDG 12: Responsible
Consumption and Production, SDG 13: Climate Action, SDG 14: Life Below Water, SDG 15: Life on Land,
SDG 16: Peace, Justice and Strong Institutions, and SDG 17: Partnership for the Goals.
The UN System in the Philippines, including FAO, has been providing support to the Philippine
government in this endeavor. In particular, the UN supported the conduct of two workshops: 1) an
introduction to the SDGs for the government in October 2015 in which relevant SDG indicators to be
monitored in the Philippines were identified; and 2) technical workshop in May 2016 to validate the
initial assessment of the global indicators done by the National Economic and Development Authority
(NEDA) and the Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA). Additionally, the UN Country Team (UNCT) has
made efforts to recognize the linkage of various UN interventions to the SDGs in the UNDAF reporting.
FAO also organized a technical workshop on 19 October 2016 participated by at least 19 key national
agencies which focused on the crucial role of food and agriculture in achieving the SDGs. The activity
also highlighted FAO’s capacities to support the government in implementing related activities and in
monitoring progress. The workshop also identified potential areas of collaboration with FAO which
generally covers the areas of: 1) advocacy and awareness; 2) capacity building and promotion of best
sustainable practices; 3) technical assistance in improving governance, data systems and preparing
frameworks and plans; and 4) livelihood support.
FAO Philippines Country Programming Framework 2018 – 2024
17Other activities of FAO in support of the SDGs are as follows: 1) Provision of technical support to the WFP in the development of Prevalence of Undernourishment (PoU) and Food Insecurity Experience Scale (FIES) using the global standard; 2) Participation in a meeting organized by the United Nations Development Programme and UN Statistics Division under the Development Account Project: Enhancing national statistical capacity to measure, monitor, assess and report on progress on achieving post-2015 goals and targets for sustainable development last 7 June 2017; 3) Government Partners (PSA and NEDA) participated in the Regional Advocacy for Monitoring SDGs related to Food and Agriculture on 4-8 September 2017, and 4) Presentation on the “Methods to Compute Food Security Indicators for SDG2” during the International Conference of Sustainable Development Statistics last 06-07 October 2017. 18
