Philippines

ICRAF in the Philippines aims to support the government, communities and private sector achieve the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), nationally determined contributions to greenhouse gas reduction and other international and national commitments to sustainable development. The country office has been recognized for its deep and long experience in the areas of farming systems, natural resource management and biodiversity conservation, climate change mitigation and adaptation, and payment for ecosystem services (PES).

ICRAF has had a long association with forest and landscape restoration in the Philippines, and in the last 30 years successfully returned trees to deforested areas for the benefit of smallholders, the environment and the nation.

The country office supports the Government of the Philippines — particularly the Department of Environment and Natural Resources, Department of Agriculture, and the Climate Change Commission — with expert advice and capacity building at both senior and field levels. It also works closely with the Oscar M. Lopez CenterInternational Rice Research Institute (IRRI) at Los Baños, and other CGIAR research centres.

ICRAF Philippines was established in 1993.
