1 The Logical Framework Intervention Logic Objectively Verifiable Indicators Source of Verification Overall Objective Assumption To develop a replicable methodology for sustaining the upland resource base and improving the living standards and prosperity of communities who derive most of their income from upland farming. Purposes - An appropriate model developed for natural resource management and income generating for upland farm households that can be replicated in non-target upland communities. Impact studies Project Completion Reports Beneficiary Monitoring reports EC mission report GOP policies towards sustainable resource management will notchange. Market demand for upland crops will not decline Peace & order ensured No natural calamities 1. To develop and test a replicable model for sustainable management of the natural resources in the uplands of five provinces of Region XI. 2. To enable upland communities to address their subsistence needs and to produce new marketable surpluses through sustainable market-led agricultural development. Results 1.1 Communities strengthened and community-based organisations established or strengthened capable of implementing sustainable resource management systems, establishing functional development and business linkages and institutionalising the use of sustainable resource management 1.1 Effective 1 community-based watershed management schemes established in 480 small watersheds covering 17,000 ha in 30 municipalities and 5 provinces by Farm income on 9,600 farms covering over 12,000 ha increased by an average of 60% relative to farms without program assistance by Subsistence needs of all beneficiaries met by Supported communities in at least 480 sitios have community-based organisations established/ strengthened and functioning effectively: Members attending regular organisational meetings. Organisations develop, implement and evaluate watershed development and integrate them in Barangay/ Municipal Development Plans. Members are actively involved in communal activities. Organisations and activities are supported by barangay council and integrated into barangay. Organisations are accessing assistance from agencies outside of the community. Community are integrated in LGU -do- -do- -do- Field reports No. & quality of organisation Beneficiary M&E reports Barangay development DENR/NCIP collaboration & cooperation ensured. GOP policies continue to be in favor of sustainable development. Peace and order ensured. No natural calamities Community cooperation with UDP ensured Barangay officials and community members cooperate. 1 A scheme which successfully addresses environmental problems with soil and water conservation measures and appropriate farming systems. 2 Actual target to be defined following Programme studies. Income increases from some commodities (e.g. tree crops) will only appear after termination of the Programme.
