Developing rural communities in marginal & rainfed areas: agricultural projects in the Philippines (pdf 506K)

An evaluation of three AusAID projects in the Philippines to more effectively understand and address the causes and consequences of poverty under marginal or rainfed farming systems.

The evaluation seeks to assist in developing strategies to help these communities by assessing the impact and effectiveness of three AusAID projects in the Philippines:
- Philippines-Australia Agricultural Technology Education Project (AGRITECH)
- Pilot Provincial Agricultural Extension Project (PPAEP)
- The Philippines Component of the Forage for Smallholders Project (FSP)

These three projects embrace a range of approaches and stages of implementation. Only FSP was exclusively concerned with marginal and rainfed areas. The other two were oriented towards rainfed areas but not to the exclusion of irrigated agriculture, fisheries, aquaculture etc.
