The Asian Development Bank (ADB), 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 partner nongovernment organization, Landcare Foundation of the Philippines.
Restoration work has been undertaken with local communities and farmer-cooperators in the Manupali watershed in the headwaters of the Mindanao River Basin. The project implements nature-based solutions to improve the hydrology of the river basin while reducing erosion and sediment transport. Put together, the restoration interventions are promoting biodiversity, rehabilitating drainage corridors, strengthening the communities’ resilience to climate change, and helping enhance livelihoods.
