The Family Approach
Contract is adopted as a
strategy for the implementation of
Watershed Rehabilitation Project.
Each family will be awarded with a
minimum of 1 hectare to amaximum of 10 hectaresdepending upon the suitability of the
area applied for.
STRATEGY
PULWAT provides the seedling requirement per hectarewhile, labor and maintenance activities as stipulated in thecontract will be undertaken by the farmer withcorresponding cost.
Monitoring and Inspection- every 3 months (90 days) after plantation
establishment, 1st , 2nd & 3rd maintenance passes;- every 4 months (120 days) for 4th, 5th & 6th
maintenance passes - every 5 months for the 7th & 8th maintenance passes.
90 % survival rate is required for the establishedplantations. If mortality occurs, replanting is required.
Contract ends after the 8th maintenance pass which isequivalent to 3 years but will still be evaluated by a thirdparty if the plantation conforms with the standardrequirement.

OBJECTIVES AND STRATEGIES FOR
SUSTAINABLE WATERSHED MANAGEMENT
OBJECTIVES STRATEGIES
1. Maintain & increase the forestcover of all watershed areas underNPC’s jurisdiction and watershedareas with NPC generating plants
Continuous tree planting activities
using the family and communityapproach concept
Continuous production of seedlingsfor dispersal (forest & fruit)
Continuous monitoring & provision oftechnical assistance to thecommunity/project beneficiaries on themaintenance of established plantation
Conduct regular coordination meetingwith LGU officials (Local & Barangaylevel)
2.Protect the remainingresources of the watersheds
Strengthen multi-sectoral forest protectionespecially with stakeholders (Community,LGU, GA’s & NGO’s)
Formulation/ Implementation of aComprehensive Plan which includes ForestProtection Plan involving the community andother stakeholders to sustain resources inconformance with the Local Land Use Plan
Construction of satellite nurseries at thefield to complement the seedling productionof NPC while providing additional source ofincome for the community/individual
Profiling/monitoring of watershedoccupants
Intensive IEC/ Environmental AwarenessCampaign

3. Rehabilitate eroded areasand/or stabilize slopes alongwaterways and reservoirs
Identify/assess areas first which will
contribute much to the soil erosionproblem in the watershed before projectimplementation and verification withland owner
Conduct soil analysis to determine soilfertility and species suitability at theidentified area for projectimplementation (started for Plan 4projects)
Encouraged the adoption of SWCmeasures/contour farming on slopingagricultural areas
Encouraged the application of croprotation system on agricultural areas
Riverbank stabilization throughvegetative/structural measures

4. Enhance participation ofcommunities inside watershed
Provision of capability
training/seminar for thecommunity/project beneficiaries
Continuous provision of technicalassistance in the implementation oflivelihood projects and the marketingof livelihood/agricultural produce
Continuous linkaging activities withLGU’s, GA’s & NGO’s to sustain theproject which includes partnership andcollaboration through sharing oftechnology and resources
Continuous coordination and goodrelationship with the Barangayconcerned for them to helpdisseminate information about NPC’sinvolvement in the implementationlivelihood & environmental projects

OBJECTIVES STRATEGIES
5. Successful implementationand sustainability of projects
Teamwork with the NPC’s top management
which involves WMD-HO, WMD-Division, PulangiPlant and the field personnel in the implementationof projects. This includes monitoring, scheduling,planning, budgeting & logistics support, monthly &weekly supervision
Good rapport with the stakeholders(Community, LGU’s, other concerned GA’s & NGO’s
Open to ideas and lessons learned frompreviously implemented projects to avoid repetitionof unsuccessful undertakings
Continuous learning and application/adoption ofappropriate technologies for sustainabledevelopment.
Individual assessment conducted during ToolBox meeting to come-up with solutions on issues &concerns encountered at the field and identifypossible threats and risk in project implementation
