Forests in four municipalities of this province will be enhanced, sustained and improved with the recent approval of some P13.6 million grant by Japan.
The grant was given under the contract project, dubbed “Promotion of Participatory Forest Management in the Critical Watershed of Nueva Vizcaya Province,†now on its third year of implementation which features community-based projects now expanding to include four new barangays in Kayapa, Dupax del Sur, Santa Fe and Kasibu municipalities in Nueva Vizcaya.
The project, supervised by the GLM Institute (GLMI), a Japanese non-governmental organization (NGO) based in Nueva Vizcaya, is expected to benefit over 1,000 families in these villages.
The recent signing of the contract marked the appropriation of some 1,262 or about P13.6 million from the “Grant Assistance for Japanese NGO Projects†under Japan’s Official Development Assistance (ODA).
The Grant Assistance for Japanese NGO projects was launched in 2002 to enhance cooperation between the Government of Japan and Japanese NGOs in the implementation of ODA to promote effective and efficient aid for developing countries.
Japanese government’s assistance to the country’s forestry sector focuses on the establishment of sustainable forest management through various projects such as the Forestry Sector Project through Japanese ODA loans and technical cooperation through Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA), among others.
