PROJECT NAME: ADB TA-6539 REG: Investing in Climate Change Adaptation through Agroecological Landscape Restoration in the Philippines
About the project
The Asian Development Bank, with support from the Government of Japan through the Japan Fund for Prosperous and Resilient Asia and the Pacific, is implementing the regional technical assistance (TA) project, Investing in Climate Change Adaptation through Agroecological Landscape Restoration: A Nature-Based Solution for Climate Resilience in Cambodia, Bangladesh, and the Philippines. The project emphasizes forest restoration, agroforestry, and agroecology measures that build climate resilience, enhance biodiversity, and improve livelihoods of communities.
In the Philippines, the TA is working with the Department of Environment and Natural Resources through the River Basin Control Office. The International Centre for Environmental Management and World Agroforestry Centre are providing technical support to the project, alongside a nongovernment organization, Landcare Foundation of the Philippines.
This web-based geospatial decision support system is one of the TA’s key outputs that incorporates the analytical outputs from the project’s restoration activities to strengthen integrated management of the Manupali watershed in the Mindanao River Basin. It aims to support relevant national and local governments, nongovernment organizations, and farmers’ organizations in river basin planning and management.
