Integrated Rural Development Program (IRDP) 

Welcome

what is the program?

The implementation of the Integrated Rural Development Program (IRDP)  started in 2013 with financial assistance from the Bread for the World and local counterpart contributions from the Angping Development Foundation for Education (ADFE). The IRDP Program underwent an impact evaluation last May 2016 and was deemed to be successful.

KEY COMPONENTS

LAND TENURE IMPROVEMENT

The goal of land tenure improvement is composed of two major reform areas:

  1. Agrarian Reform focused on agricultural lands under CARP
  2. Ancestral Domain Lands under the IPRA

 

ECONOMIC SUPPORT SERVICES

Simply giving farmers and indigenous peoples land is not enough. They must have economic programs in order for them to have greater control over their land and their means of production.

SOCIAL INFRASTRUCTURE BUILDING

The farmers and indigenous peoples also require a foundation by which they could not only survive, but thrive. These programs include:

  1. Institutional Building for Leaders
  2. Scholarships
  3. Non-Formal Education
