Philippine Rural Development Program. Integrated Environmental and Social Safeguards Framework.

The Philippine Rural Development Program (PRDP) is a six-year national government development platform with a multi-sectoral approach. It aims at contributing towards achieving an inclusive, value-chain oriented, and climate resilient agriculture and fisheries sector. It provides an operational Agriculture and Fisheries Modernization Plan (AFMP) for an integrated technical support service delivery at the local and national levels, build strategic network of rural logistics infrastructure within priority value chains in targeted program areas, strengthen and develop viable rural enterprises through efficient supply and value chain of key agricultural and fishery products in targeted program areas, implement and model innovations towards more effective and efficient institutional support systems for programme implementation, and institutionalize stakeholder engagement. The thrust of PRDP to develop a market-oriented and climate-resilient agriculture and fishery sector will be articulated through its four (4) components: i) Local and National Level Planning (I-PLAN), ii) Infrastructure Development (I-BUILD), iii) Enterprise Development (I-REAP) and, iv) Project Implementation Support (I-SUPPORT).
