GB-CHC-285776-GPL157CAFODCAFOD 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.

Peace negotiations are under way at national level between the Philippines government and MILF (Moro Islamic Liberation Front), but they need to be backed up by grassroots participation. PAKIGDAIT is therefore focusing on three village communities in Kauswagan Municipality and one in Salvador Municipality, working at grassroots level and seeking to involve all interest groups and viewpoints, through mobilising the four “pillars” of the local communities: traditional and religious leaders, leaders of civil society organisations, women and youth leaders, and local government officials, and persuading them to co-operate with each other and to engage with higher levels of government to promote policies and programmes which are conducive to peace, development, reconciliation and reduction of violence. PAKIGDAIT also forms interfaith peace building groups at community and municipality levels, and particularly encourages women and young people to get involved in peace building initiatives. Recognising that conflict is often rooted in poverty and competition for scarce resources, the project provides support for livelihood initiatives, and help in resolving disputes over land and other resources.

LRC-KsK seeks to defend the communities’ rights to land and natural resources, while at the same time encouraging good practice in natural resource management, and local community initiatives for development which are ecologically sustainable, culturally appropriate and economically viable. Forestry, mining and energy issues are all taken into consideration. Central to the activities of LRC-KsK is to monitor, and be ready to critique, policies and laws affecting indigenous peoples and natural resources. Paralegal trainings are conducted with partner communities, and cases filed in the courts as deemed fit by the communities in the context of their own campaigns and struggles. With the assistance of legal policy experts, LRC-KsK develops policy alternatives informed by indigenous communities. LRC-KsK also engages the media, and facilitates networking with local, national and international organisations which can be linked in to add support to local campaigns.

This new three year project will focus on integrating gender issues into church and government programs, healing women and children survivors of Violence against Women & Children (VAWC) and empowering women survivors and community leaders to become advocates against violence against women and children. This will be done through four programme components: 1. Healing and support sessions for women, parents and children 2. Provision of legal services and establishment of a volunteer para-legal support system, a community awareness raising programme serving church apostolates, schools, the department of education and other ministries 3. Awareness raising of VAWC issues, through church apostolates, Diocesan schools, the department of education and other ministries. 3. Advocacy initiatives to encourage church apostolates and government agencies to take an active role in responding to the needs of women and children survivors of violence in their respective agencies/apostolates A key focus of this three year programme cycle will also be organisational and project sustainability.

The Subanon people living in the Zamboanga Peninsula, Western Mindanao, are an indigenous group of upland farmers growing rice, root crops and vegetables mainly for subsistence, though they can make some cash income from selling forest products, marketing any surplus food produced, and earning wages from farm work. Daily income is estimated at 30-70 pesos, and there are high rates of illiteracy among school-age children and high infant mortality. CAFOD has for some years been working in partnership with the Subanons’ traditional governing council – the Gukom Sog Pito Kodolungan or Council of Leaders of the Seven Rivers (Gukom) – believed to have been founded around the 16th century, to help them establish legal title to the areas of land which form their ancestral domain, and respond effectively to attempts to encroach on it (eg by mining companies). CAFOD is currently supporting the efforts of 8,401 Subanons living in two selected target areas, Canatuan and Lintangan-Malayal, to draw up a plan for the management of their ancestral domain on which they can all agree, and which is in keeping with their traditional values. Such a plan will ensure a more productive, but always sustainable, management of natural resources, and also improve the community’s lines of communication with government agencies and enable them to access better services. Under the project workshops and consultations are organised specifically with women, to encourage their active involvement. Educational and cultural programmes are also provided for young people, partly to help them achieve better understanding of their people’s traditions, and also to increase the number of Subanon students gaining admission to university.

The government is very keen to promote international investment in mining projects, yet the mechanisms in place in the Philippines to hold the companies to proper standards of transparency and accountability, and to monitor compliance, are quite weak. PIPLinks stands for the rights of the local communities to decide and control, and share fairly in the benefit from, how their land and natural resources are used. It works hard to ensure that their voices are heard in international debates, and has been a key partner in CAFOD’s Unearth Justice campaign. Most recently (2008-11) CAFOD has been supporting a project focusing primarily, though not exclusively, on communities living in three selected areas of the Philippines (Canatuan and Macambol in Mindanao, and Sablayan in Mindoro) and the respective mining companies wanting to work in those areas (TVI, BHP Biliton and Intex). CAFOD is also supporting PIPLinks to broaden the scope of its work to influence policy debates in other South East Asian countries.

Hamiguitan Range and Pujada Bay in Davao Oriental, southeastern Mindanao. In 1992, IMPEDE, took the decision to focus their advocacy work on environmental issues, primarily forest protection and coastal resource management. In 2004 Impede joined MMSAID and LRC to campaign against mining. In 2008 IMPEDE, through LRC, became the primary partner at community level of CAFOD’s Unearth Justice Campaign. Large mining companies with stakes in these areas have currently suspended major operations. The 2010-11 Project hopes to sustain the gains in the 2009-10 project aims and to prevent resumption of mining by creating alliances with local stakeholders and leveraging growing realisation that the mining industry does not deliver a stable future. IMPEDE will employ a four-pronged strategy to achieve this, namely: a) strengthening the Macambol Multi-sectoral Association for Integral Development (MMSAID) to lead the struggle to oppose extractive industries within the critical ecosystems in the 3 protected areas; b) to build a strong support coming from neighbouring communities that also reside in the MHR and Pujada Bay and from non-government organizations, academe, individual environment advocates from the province and outside; c) to participate in biodiversity conservation in the coastal and terrestrial ecosystems; and d) to empower communities to improve their livelihoods and increase their food security Catholic Agency For Overseas Development (CAFOD)Interfaith Movement for Peace Empowerment and DevelopmentCAFODcafod@cafod.org.uk2661.700010000.000015000.00002661.7000CAFOD General Funds10000.0000CAFOD General Funds15000.0000CAFOD General Funds2661.7000Interfaith Movement for Peace Empowerment and Development10000.0000Interfaith Movement for Peace Empowerment and Development15000.0000Interfaith Movement for Peace Empowerment and DevelopmentGB-CHC-285776-PHI348CAFODDIOPIM 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.

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.Catholic Agency For Overseas Development (CAFOD)DIOPIM Committee on Mining issuesCAFODcafod@cafod.org.uk20000.000020000.000020000.000020000.000010000.000020000.0000CAFOD General Funds20000.0000CAFOD General Funds20000.0000CAFOD General Funds20000.0000CAFOD General Funds10000.0000CAFOD General Funds20000.0000DIOPIM Committee on Mining issues20000.0000DIOPIM Committee on Mining issues20000.0000DIOPIM Committee on Mining issues20000.0000DIOPIM Committee on Mining issues10000.0000DIOPIM Committee on Mining issuesGB-CHC-285776-PHI350CAFODFor nearly four decades the Social Action Centre (SAC) of Pagadian Diocese has been working through its network of parishes, basic ecclesial communities and other faith-based groups to address poverty and marginalisation. Due to its geographical location the Philippines 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. 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.

Flash floods caused by the storm have left a trail of devastation in the cities of Iligan and Cagayan de Oro and in villages along the coast. Rivers burst their banks after more than 12 hours of continuous rain. Entire villages have been swept away into the sea. The official figure by the national authorities as of the end December 2011 was 1257 dead, over 1,500 injured and almost 285,000 being served inside and outside 62 evacuation centres (source: relief-web; National Risk Reduction and Management Council). 80% of the served people are outside of the evacuation centres. OCHA talks about nearly 340,000 affected across Northern Mindanao. Numbers are expected to raise in the coming days as more rural areas are reached. CAFOD's Philippines Accompanier, Rockrock, together with our partner ECOWEB (based in the area and best placed to respond) conducted an assessment into rural affected areas. In some places they were the first outsiders to arrive. The most immediate needs are short term food supplies, NFIs and shelter - construction material/tools to provide temporary shelters, repair of houses and removal of debris. In a longer term farming seeds and tools will be necessary to replace livelihood losses. Ecoweb's proposal includes first phase emergency food ration for 3 days, NFIs and tools for WFP food for work in communities where Ecoweb works (clearing landslides from roads). Ecoweb will distribute 450 shelter kits consisting of 12 GI sheet, 8 plywood sheets and essential tools in rural areas and in the peri-urban area of Iligan City Ecoweb will build 50 temporary shelters in the workst affected neighbourhoods (Santiago, Hinaplanon,Upper Hinaplanon). The temporary shelters are to be built using timber washed out of the mountains by the storm and confiscated by Iligan City hall municipality; these will be sawn into appropirate shapes and sizes using a rented band saw. Additional work in rural areas will focus on repairing 4 gravity fed water systems, and, to assist the agricultural recovery of rural communities, the distribution of 200 seeds and tools kits (100 with ploughs and 100 without).

The Philippines partner Sabakan will engage with the national gender related network initiated by the Catholic Church in the Philippines. Sabakan have strong existing experience of mobilising and strengthening church mechanisms on gender and family violence prevention. This will be captured in reflection workshops and shared within the network of partners engaged in the overall programme. Initial research and documentation will be undertaken with Sabakan to identify learning, effective strategies and recommendations which will be shared with the other participating partners and within CAFOD to inform the ongoing programme. Sabakan’s experience of working with the church on gender is unique and has gone through various phases. Initially formed within church structures it began to operate more independently when funded by CAFOD and Cordaid. This allowed for a stronger focus on advocacy resulting at times in a more challenging relationship to the church. Following reduced funding Sabakan had to re-integrate itself back into the church structures which led to changes in their advocacy approach, but a stronger support from clergy for their gender work due to the church’s sense of ownership. Further useful tools to be shared with the African partners is the gender training modules Sabakan has developed for clergy as well as the strategy of establishing men’s support groups in their awareness raising work on gender based violence in the parishes.Catholic Agency For Overseas Development (CAFOD)SabakanCAFODcafod@cafod.org.uk7500.00007500.0000CAFOD General Funds7500.0000SabakanGB-CHC-285776-PHI360CAFODThe 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.Catholic Agency For Overseas Development (CAFOD)Ecosystems Work for Essential BenefitsCAFODcafod@cafod.org.uk20000.000020000.0000CAFOD General Funds20000.0000Ecosystems Work for Essential BenefitsGB-CHC-285776-PHI362CAFODThis 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 many of them are at risk of displacement from their land or exploitation by mining companies. CAFOD have supported Gukom, a council of indigenous elders, representing Subanon communities throughout the Zamboaga Peninsula, in applying for the land rights for their indigenous territories. This project will support 3 communities to undertake land use planning for their ancestral land areas in order to protect and develop their natural resources and improve their quality of life in preparation for receiving their land titles.

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.Catholic Agency For Overseas Development (CAFOD)Catholic Relief Services - US Conference of Catholic BishopsCAFODcafod@cafod.org.uk767239.2600784564.0000CAFOD General Funds-2689.0000CAFOD General Funds-14018.5500CAFOD General Funds-617.1900CAFOD General Funds388553.8700Catholic Relief Services - US Conference of Catholic Bishops379302.5800Catholic Relief Services - US Conference of Catholic Bishops-617.1900Catholic Relief Services - US Conference of Catholic BishopsGB-CHC-285776-PHI372CAFODThis project represents one component of CAFOD's 2nd phase Philippines Typhoon DEC funding. This project builds upon the short-term agriculture assistance provided during Phase 1 (PHI370). This new 18 month project will expand the target groups beyond farmers, and address vulnerable landless labourers and fisher folk. An estimated 16 million people were affected by Typhoon Haiyan, with more than 90% of these in regions VI (Western Visayas), VII (Central Visayas), and VIII (Eastern Visayas). Livelihoods have been severely affected in a region heavily reliant on coconut farming and fishing opportunities. The Typhoon resulted in the loss of an estimated 3 million trees in Region VIII (affecting 285,548 farmers) and destroyed over 18,000 fishing boats. To date, approximately 4.6 million people have received food assistance from a range of sources. However, as food assistance scales down there is an increasing gap in immediate support to livelihoods, and the development of medium and long term strategies. This project will be implemented by CRS, across 7 municipalities. It will target 3 main groups: -Unskilled laborers and off-farm workers. -Small scale coconut farmers: -Fisher folk. Through this project: -720HH (3600 individuals) vulnerable individuals representing landless households will be targeted for livelihoods support, including small business and skills training and seedling production. . -1980HH (9900 individuals) small coconut farmers will benefit from diversification of crops, improved soil conditions and increased labour opportunities. -540 HH (2700 individuals) households will be assisted through diversification of income related to aquaculture; including support to improve existing productive capacity and promotion of aquaculture as an alternative to coconut and conventional fishing.

An estimated 16 million people were affected by Typhoon Haiyan. Approximately 4.4 million people, or 930,000 families were displaced. Of these, 400,000 people were housed in more than 1,500 evacuation centres; mainly schools. According to UNOCHA, 11,919 public elementary and secondary schools have been disrupted, affecting approximately 4.4 million students. Many classes now take place in makeshift buildings or outside, and classrooms are shared between different grades. This results in shift learning, with some grades attending in the morning and others in the afternoon. This has reduced learning, and impacted the quality of education. Whilst most people have now moved out of the evacuation centres, many classes cannot return to normal because of the physical damage to school buildings. The storm damaged approximately 2,400 classrooms across Cebu province alone. The typhoon also severely affected schools water and sanitation systems. This 18 month project aims to restore access for pupils in 4 schools to safe and operational education facilities. The project is co-funded by Swiss Solidarity and Trocaire. Caritas Switzerland will be supported by ‘Emergency Architects,’ a French INGO working in 25 countries who will recruit and train skilled and unskilled labour from the target communities. The training covers theoretical principles for earthquake and typhoon resistant construction, and also extensive “on the job” training during the repair works.

Before the colonial times, the Subanons used to inhabit in the coastal areas and along river deltas of the Peninsula. Due to colonial encroachment, the Subanens were slowly pushed upland. In the last 50 years, massive migration of people from the central and northern region of the Philippines made the Subanons a minority population in their traditional homeland. Over the years of encroachment, what remain to the ancestral territory of the subanons are ancestral domains where the Subanens still live in cluster of community practice their customs and traditions, and assert their rights and uphold their identity. In addition to the above, over the years new influence facilitated by modern education, the mass media and religion co-exist with traditional beliefs and practices. Religion is one of the major sources of division among the Subanens. To protect the Right of the Indigenous People the Indigenous People Rights Act (IPRA) has been adopted . Moreover, it rekindled the subanen interest to their history. Unfortunately, each own community now has its own vision of their history and commo roots are almost forgotten because those were largely pass on orally. At present, there could be less than a hundred Subanen traditional historian alive and they are now in their 80's and 90's . Hence, the urgency of documenting the history of the Subanen's as told by the traditional historians.

This shall also provide some interventions to improve the capacity of local government units in building resiliency of their respective localities and in supporting initiatives of communities for building back better their communities damaged by the disaster. The project is comprised of 3 major components: 1) Local capacity building and accessing resources from the government; 2) Building resilient livelihoods; and 3) Building resiliency of communities. The project will work at 3 foci of change that are key for building sustainable livelihoods and resiliency of communities: 1) Community-based Organizations (CBOs) to include livelihoods groups, industry associations and people’s organizations; 2) coordinating structures or the Agri-Fisheries Councils; and 3) the concerned local and national governments. The project shall also be doing interventions at 3 levels: at the barangay, municipal and provincial/regional levels. An important element to be considered in this project is the rehabilitation of household livelihoods by enhancing group and community capacity to support members’ initiatives and access needed support from government and other agencies. Community-level intervention will be piloted in 8 vulnerable communities within the 3 priority municipalities in Eastern Samar namely, Salcedo, Mercedes and Guiuan.

Rapid economic growth in the last three decades has seen an increase in multinational companies taking advantage of increasingly liberal flow of finances, goods and services, very often with a focus on providing raw materials for Chinese unparalleled industrialisation. This has exerted pressure on natural resources, particularly land and other land-based resources, and on the communities that depend on them for their subsistence. The majority of states in Asia fail to adequately recognise indigenous rights to land and culture; therefore regional growth is far too often founded on land grabbing and abuse of the marginalised. The lack of protection for land-rights has resulted in inconsistent poverty reduction rates and growing inequality, often perpetuated by poor governance. Indigenous peoples are globally marginal to the dominant economic and political system. Even in some highly developed states including Australia, New Zealand, USA and Canada there are indigenous populations living in high levels of disadvantage and marginalisation. Although they make up roughly 5% of the global population, they account for about 15% of the poor. South East Asia is estimated to be home to up 20% of the world’s 370 million indigenous peoples. Indigenous peoples in the region are among the poorest in terms of income and access to justice, made worse by insecurity over land tenure, food security, and the gradual erosion of their traditional cultures. Dealing with this situation will require a focus on sustainable economic growth and poverty reduction, along with strategies to address multiple sources of disadvantage to reach those indigenous communities. However, this needs to be done in culturally sensitive manners, with the full engagement of those indigenous peoples in order to be fully empowering. In the South East Asian context indigenous peoples are estimated to make up as much as 30% of the populations in Lao PDR and Myanmar, about 20% in Indonesia, 10-15% in the Philippines, and as low as 1.3% in Cambodia. Their estimated numbers range from a high of 50 to 70 million in Indonesia, 12 to 15 million in the Philippines, to about 179,000 in Cambodia. Part of the problem in identifying the numbers of indigenous peoples in South-East Asia, is that there are on-going conceptual debates concerning the term ‘indigenous peoples’. As noted previously States in the region, despite supporting the Declaration, frequently deny that there are indigenous peoples within their borders , and often refer to them as ethnic minorities, or use terms such as “hill tribes”, “cultural minorities” or “isolated and alien peoples”. However, many of these groups self-identify as indigenous, and that recognition of the indigenous right to determine their own membership is crucial to the definition of who indigenous peoples are. Within the region the application of indigenous rights has been mixed. The Philippines is undeniably the most advanced country in terms of the legal framework governing indigenous peoples, including a 1997 law with the provision for FPIC, although the implementation is frequently lacking. Then there are countries such as Indonesia and Cambodia, which have a history of conflict, but where recent changes in the law show promise in terms of the protection of indigenous rights. The situation in Indonesia looks particularly promising at the moment, with regard to a drafting a law on indigenous peoples (masyarakat hukum adat). Finally there are countries such as Laos and Myanmar, which despite showing some minor improvements in creating regulatory and institutional mechanisms, have a long way to go in terms of providing a rights-based legislative framework. Therefore the opportunities within any country are mixed, and any programme will have to be able to prioritise and take advantage of opportunities as they arise. PIPLinks, working with CAFOD and CAFOD partners, will complete research, alongside developing plans for a regional partner meeting, to review a plan for potential regional work which is based on community support/capacity building and advocacy on defence and promotion of the rights of indigenous peoples in South East Asia. Because of its research and advocacy nature this is difficult to quantify, but the primary work in the initial proposal this is working towards was looking to benefit up to 10,000 indigenous men, women and children, but with secondary benefits to a larger number of indigenous peoples affected by the land rights issues, which can be estimated at least 20% of indigenous populations in South East Asia (approximately 12 million in Indonesia, 2 million in the Philippines, 1 million in Myanmar to about 40,000 in CambodiaCatholic Agency For Overseas Development (CAFOD)Philippine Indigenous Peoples LinksCAFODcafod@cafod.org.uk8600.00008600.0000CAFOD General Funds8600.0000Philippine Indigenous Peoples LinksGB-CHC-285776-PHI384CAFODThis one-year project aims to support the remaining Typhoon Haiyan (Yolanda) recovery needs in the Philippines. In 2013 the super-typhoon caused devastation across the Philippines. One year on as the Typhoon Haiyan response moves from the recovery and rehabilitation phase to prevention and preparedness for future crises, it is widely acknowledged, by the international NGO community and other stakeholders, that stronger and locally-owned disaster response mechanisms and preparedness systems are needed. NASSA/Caritas Philippines’ multi-sectoral programme aims to support the remaining recovery needs, with an intended focus on developing DRR and preparedness structures at community level. All these with an end goal of building and sustaining resiliency through various recovery and rehabilitation interventions in shelter, WASH, livelihoods, ecosystem services and capacity strengthening. NASSA/Caritas Philippines will continue maximizing fostered partnerships with national and local civil society organizations. They will also work closely with INGO consortium at a national level to enhance its humanitarian surge capacity to a maximum level through its diocesan social action network across the country, thus further enhancing and complementing the institutional strengthening mechanisms with the existing program of EPRT (Emergency Preparedness and Response Teams) in several diocesan social action centres.

Typhoon Haiyan severely disrupted longer term livelihood activities, particularly for coconut farmers who are still struggling to recover and remain vulnerable to frequent shocks. The livelihoods project has made significant progress with farmers engaging in new and diversified crops through training and inputs that served as a gateway (or entry-point) for future food security activities. There is now a need for responders and other stakeholders to consider longer term strategies to ensure that communities become more resilient to future shocks, contributing to the long term goal where typhoon-affected households in Leyte and Eastern Samar exceed pre-Yolanda/Haiyan livelihood quality. CAFOD’s partner Catholic Relief Services (CRS) aims to support farmers in their next phase of recovery by using an agro-enterprise model to link farmers to markets. Various strategies such as demonstration plots, innovations such as artificial insemination, feeding guidelines and drinkers for swine will be used to support farmers to increase their productivity and build upon the trainings provided during the first two phases. The project will continue working with vulnerable females and males, as identified in the registration process.

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.

The proposed Year 3 program will continue to focus on the 166 communities it has been serving since the first year of the#REACHPhilippines Program implementation, covering the nine diocesan territories in Central Philippines (Cebu, Northern Palawan, Leyte, Eastern Samar, Western Samar, Capiz, Iloilo, Aklan and Antique) spreading over fifty-one municipalities. Basing from the results of the multi-sectoral and program development workshops held last February and March 2016, this Year 3 appeal will conclude the successful outcomes of Year 1 (EA 12/2014) and Year 2 (EA 07/2015) program implementations. Year 3 program will focus on: 1] building strong community organizations such as BWSA and WASH committees for WASH, sectoral groupings for farmers, fishermen, women and youth for Livelihoods, and home owners’ associations and local artisans for shelter which will be classified into bigger community organizations such as the BDRRMCs responsible for both disaster risk analysis, and development and implementation of disaster risk reduction measures, 2] institutionalization of participatory planning, monitoring, evaluation and learning, and 3] facilitating the transfer of ownership of the entire CMDRR project by the community organizations to parish and/or the local government structures.Catholic Agency For Overseas Development (CAFOD)Caritas Philippines National Secretariat for Social ActionCAFODcafod@cafod.org.uk478002.2000478002.2000CAFOD General Funds239001.1000Caritas Philippines National Secretariat for Social Action239001.1000Caritas Philippines National Secretariat for Social ActionGB-CHC-285776-PHI391CAFODThis inter-agency research project will focus on a small number of national NGOs in the Philippines which lost staff to international NGOs and UN agencies in the immediate aftermath of Typhoon Haiyan in November 2013. The project will research national NGO experiences of recruitment for surge by international NGOs and attempt to identify good practices as well as document impact, and develop recommendations and an action plan for taking the findings forward within TSCP, feeding into the evolving Philippines surge roster, and more widely in the humanitarian sector. Originally inspired by the Charter4Change Commitment 4 (which all the 4 participant agencies have signed) which states that signatories will ‘ identify and implement fair compensation for local organisations for the loss of skilled staff if and when we contract a local organisation’s staff involved in humanitarian action within 6 months of the start of a humanitarian crisis’, this project has now evolved to recognise that a broader and more inclusive approach would facilitate greater buy-in from TSCP members and potential impact in terms of adoption of the research findings and recommendations.Catholic Agency For Overseas Development (CAFOD)CAFODCAFODcafod@cafod.org.uk27550.000027550.0000CAFOD General FundsGB-CHC-285776-PHI392CAFODThe project aims to contribute to emergency and early recovery activities for communities and families affected by Typhoon Haima (local name: Lawin) in the four ecclesiastical territories in Northern Philippines by providing immediate shelter, WASH and livelihood assistance, and emergency preparedness through institutional capacity building interventions.

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.
