Project Completion Report IFAD 397 - PH Cordillera Highland Agricultural Resource Management Project (CHARMP): Reforestation Subcomponent

The Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR), through the CAR regional and field offices, was primarily tasked to implement the Reforestation Subcomponent of the project in coordination with the Executing Agency (DA) and the other implementing agencies. The Reforestation Subcomponent aimed at developing a total of 6,150 hectares through reforestation, enrichment planting and agro-forestry.

At completion, physical targets on reforestation were efficiently achieved and contributed to the achievement of the Project's immediate development objectives. While economic benefits were to be estimated for the Project as a whole, and no estimates were made particularly for reforestation, increase in incremental income was immediately evident during implementation due to the award of CSD contracts to PO members in reforestation sites.
