Cordillera Highland Agricultural Resource Management Project (CHARMP)

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.

The Cordillera Highland Agricultural Resource Management (CHARM) Project was a successor to the Highland Agricultural Development Project, funded by the Asian Development Bank (ADB) and the International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD). The Project’s main activities were aimed at benefiting the communities as whole rather than selected individuals, which implied that the Project was to target only the communities that had poverty incidence of over 90%.
