Indigenous land use and resource management capacity support project CAFOD’s Indigenous Rights Programme in the Philippines focuses on the empowerment of Indigenous Communities to lead their own development through increased control and more sustainable management of natural resources within their indigenous territories.  The formulation of the Ancestral Domain Sustainable Development and Protection Plan (ADSDPP) is a crucial phase in ensuring sustainable community access to the resources within their domains in addition to informed decision making on the future use of those resources. The Ancestral Domain Sustainable Development and Protection Plan supports Indigenous community to make decisions about envisioned forestland use, resource usage; environmental and socio-economic impact and proposed financing and marketing strategies. 

The Philippines Association for Inter-Cultural Development, PAFID, will provide technical and capacity building support to 3 CAFOD Indigenous partners (Gukom, PDSI, PGB) for the implemention of the ADSDPP process for the duration of this project. ADSDPP Plans will be initially supported in the Indigenous areas of Bayog, Kumalarang and Lintangan.
Reconstruction of damaged school buildings and improved DRR, post Typhoon Haiyan - DEC Phase 2B This project represents one component of CAFOD's DEC Phase 2B Philippines response, Caritas Switzerland will be reconstructing schools, training local craftsmen on construction and improving disaster risk reduction measures. 

School enrolment has significantly increased to over 14 million students in 2014, a high portion of which was from the poorest households. However, universal access to elementary education is challenged by the damages of the Haiyan disaster. Particularly, access to quality education, adequate space, lack of resources and extended teacher training remains a major challenge. In addition, the oversight function for reconstruction efforts is only carried out in a limited manner by the Department of Education. 

Throughout Phase 2B, 41 classrooms will be reconstructed at 5 school complexes; 4 school complexes are located on Bantayan Island, the fifth school complex is situated in Kinatarkan Island. The designs of all school buildings are based on the generic school designs of the Department of Education, and upgraded by CACH to ensure they meet the Philippines National Building Code. 

The project will also recruit and train skilled and unskilled labour workers from the target communities. The training covers theoretical principles for earthquake and typhoon resistant construction, guidance on the Philippines National Building Code and extensive “on the job” training during the repair works. 

CACH will also lead the WASH hardware component - each school will be carefully evaluated (assessing soil and groundwater situation) and an adequate sanitation facility will be provided. Collaboration will continue with OXFAM to implement the soft component for WASH.
EA 26/2018 Relief and Early Recovery Assistance to people affected by Typhoon Mangkhut Typhoon Mangkhut (local name: Ompong) made landfall in Baggao, Cagayan 15 September 2018. According to UN-OCHA’s flash update (September 19, 2018), more than one million individuals are affected in Regions I, II, III, CALABARZON (Cavite, Batangas, Laguna, Rizal and Quezon provinces), National Caritas Region, and the Cordillera Administrative Region (CAR). The same report reveals that more than 184,000 people are displaced. Of which, 61,000 are still in 471 evacuation centers and more than 87,000 individuals are staying with host families. 

NASSA/Caritas Philippines's response will not only be providing emergency relief assistance, but will ensure that the vital elements of community-managed disaster risk reduction like community participation, accountability, disaster and capacity mapping, and contingency planning, are integrated in the appeal implementation.
Emergency Assistance to Communities Affected by STS Nalgae (Paeng) in 3 Dioceses Severe tropical storm (STS) Nalgae (locally named Paeng), brought heavy rains and strong winds to the Philippines and affected at least 4 million people as it traversed the landmass on 28-31 October. The National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council (NDRRMC) has reported that the storm left at least 154 people dead (where 101 are confirmed and 53 for validation) and 35 missing, mainly due to flashfloods and landslides. The Department of Social Welfare and Development reports that more than 200,000 families were displaced, at least 73,000 families were evacuated to 2,938 evacuation centers. Cost of damage to agriculture is US$48.6 million; 1,631 houses were destroyed; and 5,409 partially damaged. 164 local government units declared to be under state of calamity. 
The torrential rainfall over a short period of time triggered flooding, flashfloods and landslides in Luzon, Visayas and Mindanao, which were the major causes of deaths and infrastructure damages. 
One of the immediate needs that was assessed based on the information coming from the affected dioceses on the ground were food and non-food items, temporary shelter and shelter repair kits and restoration of livelihoods. 
The proposed intervention of Caritas Philippines is to provide humanitarian assistance for shelter and livelihoods. The humanitarian response will focus on 3 areas affected (provinces of Marinduque, Camarines Sur and Negros Occidental. In the areas selected, massive destruction was on shelters, natural environment, degradation of eco-systems, disruption of farming, fishing and other food production and livelihood related activities. 
Shelter assistance (through cash vouchers for shelter repair kits) is highly needed in the areas affected as government effort are limited and should be complemented. The immediate repair of shelter is to provide safe access to protection from the environment of the communities affected. 
The effects of the disaster on livelihoods may result in longer-term food insecurity of households affected, and contribute to health-related concerns, and malnutrition. To immediately cope with the situation a cash for work scheme will be implemented to help restore livelihoods in agriculture and fisheries.
Emergency and Early Recovery Assistance to Affected communities by Flooding - Philippines In December 2023, the Southern and Eastern part of Philippines were hit by Tropical Storm with wind brought massive flooding in Mindanao provinces.  In that weather disturbance, several Internally Displaced Persons left their homes and stayed at the designated evacuation center. On January 2024, Shearline (a type of weather disturbance where the cold and warm winds meet) brought heavy rains to the same provinces, threatened houses, and infrastructure from soil erosion due to ravaging waters along the riverbank, A landslide also occurred and buried a community with reported deaths and those living in the mountainous areas are still equally at risk of landslides.

The National Disaster Risk Reduction Management Council reported a total number of 471,819 affected families (1,56,339 individuals) in 13 provinces, 71 cities/municipalities and 881 barangays. Due to its magnitude, the diocese requested assistance from Caritas Philippines for support. 

Caritas Philippines in coordination and collaboration with dioceses took immediate actions and called for appeals. In reference to the above context, Caritas Philippines decided to focus the proposed EA on the relief phase (NFI – cooking sets/kitchen items), early recovery (shelter, livelihoods, and capacity building) to continue the phase of humanitarian response. They will be to meet the essential emergency needs of the affected families and provide them non-food items, Shelter and livelihoods for 465 households (2,325 individuals), affected in the provinces of Davao Del Norte, Davao De Oro and Davao Oriental, Philippines. 

The decision has been made by the CAFOD management to provide around £30000 grant from GEF to Caritas Philippine towards this flood response/recovery in Philippine.
Making ecosystems work through integrating land use, livelihoods and disaster preparedness The Philippines as a whole is vulnerable to a wide range of natural hazards including earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, typhoons and their resultant effects such as tsunami, landslides, lava-flows, floods and flash-floods, while the island of Mindanao has also been identified as particularly vulnerable to temperature increase and El Niño-induced drought, and its vulnerability has been exacerbated by ecological degradation due to extensive deforestation, mining and the ongoing conflict born of a decade old secessionist movement and communist-led insurgency.  Since 2007, CAFOD livelihoods partners in Mindanao have been reporting that their agricultural programmes are being impacted by changing weather patterns, and that crops are failing due to extended drought, flooding and pest infestations.  Since 2009, therefore, CAFOD has been supporting a programme with Ecoweb and other local partners to strengthen their work on livelihoods through encouraging communities to carry out participatory disaster risk assessments and develop action plans, and to adapt to climate change and other hazards through changes in how they manage their land and other natural resources; they also mobilise the communities to engage with local government to integrate disaster risk reduction (DRR), an approach which seeks to identify and reduce vulnerability to disasters, into its 10-year land use plans.
Indigenous people's leadership strengthening and capacity support programme The project is a capacity support programme within CAFOD’s Mindanao Indigneous People’s Programme aims to support the empowerment of Indigenous Communities within CAFOD programme areas to lead their own development and improve their quality of life through increased control and more  more effective governance, and sustainable management of natural and cultural resources within their ancestral lands. This capacity support will introduce greater partner coordination, led first and foremost by partners who directly represent indigenous communities, and will enable CAFOD to support the following types of initiatives: training / Capacity for indigenous people’s leaders; fact finding missions; follow up scoping visits or visits of technical experts; support to indigenous leaders to participate in national and international meetings; documentation of case studies and pilot livelihoods initiatives
Reducing vulnerability to disaster through strengthened coordination and innovation The Philippines is vulnerable to a wide range of natural hazards including earthquakes, volcanic eruptions and typhoons. Communities living on the island of Mindanao are also particularly vulnerable to temperature increase and climate change. Deforestation, mining and the ongoing conflict has increased this vulnerability. CAFOD has working with three local partners in Mindanao to support communities to identify the factors making them vulnerable to disaster, and to adapt to climate change and other hazards through changes in how they manage their land and other natural resources. Communities are also encouraged and supported to engage with local government to access support for climate change adaptation and to reduce their risk to disaster. This project will strengthen this programme by supporting these partners to increase their coordination with eachother and with government agencies and by strengthening the ability of communities and local government to make decisions about land use and natural resource management through the use of innovative technology.
Indigenous people’s rights and sustainable livelihoods programme This project forms part of CAFOD’s indigenous people's land and livelihoods programme which aims to support the empowerment of indigenous communities in the Philippines to lead their own development, and improve their quality of life, through increased control and more sustainable management of natural resources within their ancestral lands.  The Subanen people who live in the Zamboanga Peninsula, Mindanao, are among the poorest and most marginalized people in the Philippines.  Most Subanen communities are located in remote but resource-rich areas, but Subanen people have little, if any, effective representation in decision-making bodies, and indigenous women have even less say.  This project will support two indigenous organisations to apply for land rights and develop land use plans for the ancestral lands. 

Pigsalabukan Gukom de Bayog is a traditional council of the Subanen People of the central region of the Zamboanga Peninsula representing the Bayog Indigenous community. This project will support the community of Bayog to secure their land rights and to undertake a land use planning process in order to reduce resource related conflicts and to ensure the natural resources within the domain will be managed sustainably

PDSI is a Subanen women’s network representing the Kumalarang indigenous community. Through this project CAFOD, and will support  the community of Kumalarang to secure their land rights and undertake a land use planning process. This process will  also ensure that Indigenous women can participate in community decision-making particularly with regard to the management of ancestral lands, maintenance of peace and order, and resolution of conflict.
Livelihood early recovery support to agricultural households affected by Typhoon Haiyan DEC phase 1 Super-typhoon Haiyan (local name Yolanda) made landfall on 8 November in the Philippines. The Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) currently estimates that 14.9 million people have been affected, while approximately 4.1 million people remain displaced . The official death toll from National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council (NDRRMC) has steadily increased to 5,759 people, with 1,779 recorded as missing. 
 
The DEC Philippines Typhoon appeal was launched on 12th November 2013.  This project forms part of CAFOD's DEC programme.  CAFOD and CRS are prioritising Eastern Samar and Leyte provinces (Region VIII) for this intervention, where the typhoon and its deadly tidal surge first struck. CRS are already implementing emergency shelter and WASH activities across nine municipalities with CAFOD and other partner support. 
 
The restoration of livelihoods is a high priority. For small farmers (tilling/farming 3 hectares or less), the typhoon damaged critical crops such as rice, coconut, corn, root crops and vegetables. Farming households have consequently depended on aid as their primary source of food.  
 
This project will provide 2,800 farm labourers/ tenants with temporary employment through Cash For Work to restore productive coconut farms. In addition 7800 small holder coconut farmers, farm labourers, and vulnerable female producers will receive agricultural inputs to re-start and diversify production. 

CAFOD are providing £781,875 ($1,274,457 at rate of 1.63) of DEC phase 1 funding (ICD619) to CRS over the project period from 1 December 2013 to 30 April 2014.
Informed community decision making on how to manage natural resources DIOPIM stands for a grouping of the Catholic dioceses/ prelatures of Dipolog, Ipil, Ozamiz, Pagadian, Iligan and Marawi, covering an area in North-Western Mindao which is one of the most mineral rich regions in the Philippines.  The DIOPIM Committee on Mining Issues (DCMI) brings the diocesan Social Action Centres together with concerned NGOs and indigenous people's groups.  Its aim is to ensure that local people – poor farmers and fishworkers, mostly belonging to indigenous communities – understand the costs and benefits of mining in relation to other land uses and livelihoods options, and can take informed decisions in relation to mining and the protection and management of their land and natural resources.  Project activities include research, monitoring of mining activities and their impact, building the capacity of the Social Action Centres and communities in relation to mining and environmental protection, and supporting communities and church structures to engage in advocacy initiatives to influence policies relating to mining at local and national level.
COMPASS 2015 Philippines CAFOD is engaging 4 partners to conduct participatory research to include the voices of those living in poverty in the post-2015 debate. ECOWEB will conduct one of these research projects. Research participants will play a key role in identifying key aspects of social inequality and poverty and in the reflection on the causes. Basing on the definition of the Beyond 2015 national campaign plan in the Philippines, voices from the following areas shall be prioritized.

•	Poverty stricken areas
•	Far flung/ inaccessible areas
•	Conflict-affected areas
•	High risk areas to natural hazards
•	Mining-affected/environmentally vulnerable areas

The most vulnerable sectors within the above areas shall also be reached out such as the persons with disability (PWD), children, elderly, and women. From among the basic economic sectors, the subsistent fisherfolks, farmers, informal labor, and forest dwellers shall also be given attention. Other marginalized groups such as the Indigenous People, internally displaced persons due to disasters, the minority Moro people and the informal settlers will also be given priority. In the Philippine context, a voice from rebels or former rebels/combatants shall also be heard whose presence manifest the inequality and injustice prevailing in the Philippine society.

Seven (7) areas (cluster of communities) in the North-Western Mindanao region, particularly in the provinces of Misamis Oriental, Lanao del Norte, Zamboanga and Lanao del Sur are targeted to be covered by this research project.
Rehabilitation/construction of typhoon resistant houses & sanitation facilities post Typhoon Haiyan This project is a component of Cordaid's “Resilient Communities Projects” which has been developed to address the recovery needs of two communities of Ngolos and Sulangan, Eastern Samar, following the devastation of Typhoon Yolanda. The objective is to deliver recovery programming which is community driven and managed. The approach utilises a resilience framework and through a participatory assessment of risk, allows for reflection of local hazards and their changes over time. This allows for adaptation of behaviour, identification of capacity gaps and the development of a community action plan. This component of the overall project will focus on 200 houses that were identified through the process and will be rebuilt through a community driven and managed approach.
