The network of government and non-government organizations working on Population Health and Environment (PHE) highlighted the significance of population control in coastal conservation during the National Dissemination Forum of the Integrated Population and Coastal Resource Management or IPOPCORM on Wednesday at the MetroCentre Hotel.
The PATH Foundation Philippines , Incorporated initiated the activity carrying the theme, “Integration Makes the Differenceâ€, in cooperation with the David and Lucile Packard Foundation, USAID, the UNFPA, and the provincial government under the leadership of Governor Erico B. Aumentado.
Through the forum, PATH Foundation aimed to disseminate best practices in community-based and integrated population-environment (PE) models, to discuss the sustainability and scale up of integrated approaches, and recognize partner LGUs and NGOs that contributed to the success of the IPOPCORM initiative.
Based on the evaluation of IPOPCORM Initiative, integrated approaches generated higher impacts on human and ecosystem health outcomes compared to single strategies.
PATH Foundation Philippines , Incorporated serves as the proponent of PHE programs in Bohol, implementing the IPOPCORM Initiative and the Alternative Advocacy Project.
In his lecture, former environment secretary Angel Alcala, who now chairs the PATH Foundation Philippines, Incorporated, pushed for the implementation of population control programs to attain sustainable coastal conservation measures.
PHE programs promote equity, health and environmental stewardship which have proven to be more efficient and have greater impact when addressed as an integrated issue than being addressed separately.
