The Unity of Development, Environment and Good Governance

The Philippine Environmental Governance Project (EcoGov) is a joint undertaking of the Government of the Philippines (GOP) and the United States Agency for International Development (USAID), to install in the Philippines improved system of decision making and of taking action against five key threats to the nation’s environment: illegal forest cutting, illegal forest conversion, illegal fishing, over fishing and solid wastes.

The project focuses on three areas in the country: Western and Central Mindanao, Central Visayas and Northeastern Luzon. These are where the threats are either most pronounced or their control is most urgent and needed to alleviate poverty and to promote peace and security among the local population.

This paper outines how EcoGov plays a role in development and environment in the Philippines and how its thematic concerns ink to the ultimate goals of improving the environmental support system for economic growth and security in the country.
