- Description
-
The proposed technical assistance (TA) will prepare a project which, with strong private orientation, will complement and reinforce the Government's efforts to encourage establishment of tree, rattan, and bamboo plantations in the country to rehabilitate degraded and barren forestlands and to supplement rapidly declining supplies of industrial raw materials from natural forests.

- Objectives and Scope
-
The current rate of destruction of forests in the Philippines is estimated at 100,000 ha per year (or 2% of the forest area in the country). Inadequate forest level and regional level planning, and lack of forest management information system are contributing to further degradation of the forests. This project preparatory TA (PPTA) will assist the Government to prepare an investment project for sustainable development and management of forests in the Philippines.
The TA will assist the Government in preparing a forestry project for (i) the establishment of forest plantations and home gardens (a form of agroforestry) through the use of appropriate tenurial instruments promoting participatory forestry to meet the short-term and long-term needs of the communities; (ii) the preparation and implementation of spatially explicit forest level and regional forest management plans involving both natural forests and forest plantations in selected provinces, and establishment of forest management information system; (iii) the use of genetically improved seeds for establishing forest plantations; and (iv) the improvement of the institutional capacity of the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) to implement the ensuing Project.
