Key Strategies

Forest Land Use Planning

The purpose of FLUP is to build consensus and development

recommendations in the best uses of forest lands, including the

important step of identifying open access areas and determining

appropriate management and best resource managers for these

open access areas.

The FLUP provides the basis for allocating FFL under appropriate

management and tenure arrangement and its consequent

assignment to qualified and responsible stewards or managers

with established accountabilities

Portfolio Planning Approach – pre-identified sites for development

by the government in consultation with key stakeholders

Key Strategies

2. Adopting soil and

water conservation

measures

3. Agroforestry systems

Check damGabion

Agroforestry system

Key Strategies

4. Closing open access areas of forestlands by granting

appropriate tenure/management arrangement

Beneficiary Tenurial Instrument

Individual Certificate of Stewardship Contract (CSC)

Community

Community-Based Forest Management Agreement

(CBFMA)

Special Agreement for Protected Area (SAPA)

Private BusinessIntegrated Forest Management Agreement (IFMA)

Special Agreement for Protected Area (SAPA)

LGU Co-management

Key Strategies

5. Area management approach – an integrated area

development where all basic societal and

economic services are delivered in an area for

more impact

6. Promoting social entrepreneurship – packaging

development projects with economic

empowerment (increasing incomes) of people is a

key component

7. Capacity building of DENR

frontliners, LGUs, CSO

partners, POs and social

entrepreneurs

8. Convergence approach

among NGAs, LGUs, and

CSOs

9. IEC, advocacy and social

mobilization
