Resumen
Descripción
Land-based sectors in the Philippines are affected by institutional weaknesses in various ways, including overlapping and conflicting policies, laws and programmes, a lack of reform in public land management and inadequate funding for urban development, disaster mitigation and climate change. Land governance has thus been given paramount importance in recent years. However, security of tenure for all remains a challenge as the existing institutional set-up fails to respond to the needs of people in the land, fisheries and forestry sectors. In response to this, the Government decided to mainstream the Voluntary Guidelines on the Responsible Governance of Tenure (VGGT) on Land, Fisheries and Forests in order to improve land governance and expand it beyond the land sector. The project contributed to improving the capacity of the Government to provide good land governance by updating the Land Sector Development Framework (LSDF) in line with VGGT principles and guidelines, and by increasing awareness of these principles and guidelines in the fisheries sector.
