The economic benefits may be the initial driver yet the investments towards social and environmental stewardship will determine the ultimate value of ABS. At the national level, the project will help to facilitate the use of genetic resources, while being cautious of environmental and social safeguards, through a more proactive and streamlined process to securing PIC/FPIC. As such, if implemented properly, compliance with the Nagoya Protocol will provide resources that will accrue to the specific sector concerned such as those involved in drug and cosmetic product development. More academic and research institutions as well as the private sector will be incentivized to invest in ABS-related researches and product development since financial returns can be expected. At the local level, the increased activity will lead to added employment and job diversification primarily in participating sites and eventually into replicating regions. The formalization of these supply chains and coordinated R&D activities will lead to various roles well suited for local community stakeholders. Non-traditional roles such as research, audit, maintenance (e.g. conditions of expanded plantations and test fields) are strong compliments for the growth of traditional roles in farming, processing/manufacturing, logistics, quality control, marketing and retail created by developing industries. These are aligned with government programs such as the Department of Agriculture’s (DA) high value crops development but it is important to note the added opportunity when DENR’s National Greening Program (NGP) is supported by policies that allows people’s organizations (POs) that were designated to reforest allowed to gain from the produce of the trees they planted in exchange for continuous monitoring and maintenance. Ultimately, these diversified and added jobs can be protected through capacitating of local community enterprises (e.g. cooperatives, Community Based Forest Management (CBFM)) to become sustainable SMEs. The viability of these added jobs is contingent on the stable and remunerative income genetic resource development is intended to contribute. Pili and Banaba are tree sources that are known to be relatively more resilient to weather disruption and climate change, thus reducing risk of income disruptions. Furthermore, adaptable technology (e.g. dryers for Banaba leaves), R&D (e.g. superior plant varieties) and capacity building (e.g. agri-trainings to IPs) may lead to extended farming and production seasons. Fair pricing is a key component to remunerative income as the economic fruits of genetic resource development cannot be left unattended to traditional market players. Standardizing processes and evaluating evolving value chains creates an opportunity to establish fair wage and fair-trade standards based on productivity and quality of life indicators starting with participating communities and adapted to regional and national situations. This does not discount the existence of current and traditional livelihoods, yet it intends to diversify income streams that will generally uplift occupational standards and economic benefits primarily among local stakeholders.Global Environment Facility UNDP Department of Environment and Natural Resources Biodiversity Management Bureau (DENR-BMB) CEO Endorsement Date Actual Implementation Start Date Expected Completion Date ' Philippines Central Luzon 15.30714 120.79762 Bicol 13.31389 123.56389 +![cdata[Biodiversity]]+ 876800.00 876800.00 876800.00 876800.00 876800.00 379767 UNDP Department of Environment and Natural Resources Biodiversity Management Bureau (DENR-BMB) 443381 UNDP Department of Environment and Natural Resources Biodiversity Management Bureau (DENR-BMB) 973992 UNDP Department of Environment and Natural Resources Biodiversity Management Bureau (DENR-BMB) 4384000 GEF XI-BRIDGE-6385676864-10123 Global Environment Facility To build socio-ecological and economic resilience in four (4) selected landscapes and seascapes on the Eastern Seaboard of the Philippines - (1) Catubig Watershed Samar Island, (2) Aurora Province in the Sierra Madre, (3) Siargao Island Protected Landscape/Seascape - and along the West Philippine Sea - (4) Calamian Islands in Northern Palawan - through community-based activities for global environmental benefits and sustainable development.

These include: o Improved biodiversity values- Through biodiversity-friendly agriculture, conservation practices, restoration and improved use of biological resources, reforestation of native, climate-resilient species, there is the expectation that biodiversity values will improve in the landscape and seascapes identified by the project. o Improved synergies and opportunities of joint learning between government and civil society- during the PPG, it became apparent that there is great opportunity and interest in aligning some of the local government planning tools, with the execution and activities from CSOs and smaller community groups.This project anticipates increasing collaborations and leveraging government capacity with local level expertise to achieve impacts at a larger scale. o Improved socioeconomic circumstances/strengthened livelihoods- Many small community groups do not often have the luxury of start up capital to put some of their sustainable enterprises into operation. The SGP approach will allow some of these groups to enhance their production, distribution of their biodiversity-friendly products and support their socioeconomic conditions. SGP funds will also strengthen civil society organizations that are working to enhance social conditions for the most poverty-stricken. The project will also test and pilot innovative technologies that could decrease labour, support more efficient production and improve peoples’ quality of life. o Resilient agriculture and food security- The focus on agroecology and sustainable agriculture is to have food production that makes best use of natural resources without destroying said resources, so that there can be long-term supply and sustainable use. The project will seek to supports CSOs to have lower cost of inputs, and create a farm ecosystem that is more resilient to climate change and vacillations in rainfall. Additional project interventions which serve to improve the collection and use of water resources, will also assist in ensuring successful production and a decrease in food insecurity. o Strengthening civic culture- The project’s landscape approach seeks to aggregate the actions of individual groups and communities, with the common objective of having a beneficial impact on the landscape as a whole. This will involve engagement, participation, the collaboration of many, and is anticipated to enhance civic culture and foster trust. Groups that have not worked together yet will have the opportunity to work together; people will learn about successful initiatives carried out, and it is expected that the civil society community, as well as its collaborations with government, academia and the private sector will be improved. o Upscaling women’s achievements and creating opportunities for youth- This SGP project was designed to support women overcome the barriers that they face, and provide them opportunities for partnership and leadership. The project also will seek to increase youth participation and ownership in sustainability measures so as to make sure that knowledge is transmitted to the young. o Benefits for Indigenous Peoples (IP)- The project seeks to support Indigenous communities that use a communal way of governing natural resources. Lessons learned from these communities will be upscaled, innovations that they wish to test will be supported. The project will also support advocacy and communications interventions to maintain the protection from these lands. In particular, indigenous knowledge on resilient food production will be upscaled, and opportunities for IP leadership in the multi-stakeholder platforms will be sought. o Accompaniment- Many civil society groups and organizations have specialized talents and expertise, but may not have the organizational or administrative capacities. SGP Philippines will support these entities to strengthen their organizational capacities so that they may be more financially resilient, more adept administratively and can leverage funds from other donors in the future.

Direct beneficiaries will include at least 100 participants (at least 50% female; 50 male and 50 female) in training, education and awareness programming in various national and subnational government agencies (Components 1 and 2). This will constitute a core set of technical staff, planners and decision-makers with the requisite knowledge to implement NCA processes in the Project geographies and to support mainstreaming at the national level. Under Component 2, direct beneficiaries also will include 500 people (~50% female; 250 male and 250 female) distributed among 100 households that participate in Project activities to stimulate local Social Enterprises in the two geographies. Safeguards will be put in place to ensure continued legal access to natural resources, and Conservation Agreements with local stakeholders will provide a framework for application of best practices including FPIC, participation and transparency. Throughout the Project gender mainstreaming will be prioritized.The first level of indirect beneficiaries include the broader populations in and around the two PA landscapes targeted by the Project, who benefit from enhanced/sustained ecosystem services (esp. those linked to biodiversity, soil maintenance, and water quality/quantity) and improved economic development planning guided by NCA. A second level of indirect beneficiaries is the populations in and around PA landscapes elsewhere in the Philippines, who will benefit from later replication of NCA-informed planning, management and investment tools and processes demonstrated by the Project. More widely, mainstreaming of NCA and the value of NC and biodiversity into government planning, sector strategies and practices will enhance the security of the natural resource base that is vital for essential economic sectors (i.e. agriculture, forestry, fisheries, tourism), benefiting the nation as a whole (estimated population 110.2 million).[1] Together, these sectors contribute nearly 25% of GDP.[2],[3] [1] https://psa.gov.ph/content/updated-population-projections-based-results-2015-popcen [2] https://psa.gov.ph/national-accounts/base-2018/estimates [3] http://www.tourism.gov.ph/news_features/TourismIndustryHikes.aspx# Global Environment Facility UNEP DENR-Biodiversity Management Bureau CEO Endorsement Date ' Philippines +![cdata[Biodiversity]]+ 3502968 GEF XI-BRIDGE-6385676864-10532 Global Environment Facility To create an enabling environment for the realization of the National Land Degradation Neutrality (LDN) target and to mainstream biodiversity-friendly agricultural (BDFA) practices in the Cagayan de Oro River Basin (CDORB) through national policy framework implementation and capacity strengthening. Note: Disbursement data provided is cumulative and covers disbursement made by the project Agency.The combined effect of the project’s components will improve ecosystem services stemming from agricultural and agroforestry lands in CDORB, brought about by the application of integrated BDFA and SLM practices. The implementation of BDFA and SLM will also result in an increase in the agrobiodiversity found in the project’s targeted agricultural landscapes and beyond. Reducing land degradation within the agroecosystem will have positive ecological and socio-economic consequences, where the latter will have impact on the local farmer communities’ livelihoods, as well as financial implications. More than 10,000 ha of farmlands will benefit from direct project interventions. In addition, through project facilitated voluntary replication of similar type of BDFA and SLM practices, as well as changed management via for instance amendments to the CLUP of the CDORB’s five LGUs, the project will ensure sustainable management of at least 58,000 ha. The project’s area of influence could, however, be much larger depending upon the BDFA and SLM practices uptake in other areas of the Philippines. Such uptake could occur in areas of the five project LGUs which are situated outside the CDORB or within the five LDN priority river basins with which the project will also work. Facilitated by the BDFAP and LDN JAOs, the project’s knowledge management and results dissemination, as well as its collaboration with Government departments, including DA and DENR, will facilitate the upscaling of BDFA and SLM practices outside CDORB. The project’s alignment with government programs, for instance DENR’s NGP and DA’s NOAP, are examples of upscaling vehicles, as is the One DA Reform Agenda. The project’s work on relevant regulations, guidelines, and plans will provide for a more holistic and integrated approach towards mitigating land degradation. The project’s enhancement of the agriculture and agroforestry aspects of the local CLUPs and its support to LGU and barangay programs and plans (e.g. city development plans, river basin strategic management plans, watershed management plans, IP ADSDPP) will facilitate the adoption of SLM and BDFA in the agricultural landscapes within CDORB. This will result in a reduction or halt of land degradation, ensure better soil and water conservation and management, increase habitats mosaic within the agroecosystem benefitting biodiversity and improved livelihood for people depending upon the services and products of the land and the value chain products and services these provide. The direct project beneficiaries, including national, provincial and local government agency staff, as well as staff from academia and NGOs, will, due to the project, improve their knowledge and skills on using analytical tools, prepare environment sensitive trade-off analysis, as well as use this knowledge to assess and revise plans and programs to ensure that they are ecosystem services orientated. At least 1,900 staff (50% female) will be capacitated under the project. More than 10,000 local community members including farmers, farmers cooperatives, agribusinesses and indigenous people etc. will be capacitated in the use of BDFA and SLM management technologies that reduce land degradation and improve local agrobiodiversity and traditional varieties[1]. This will, among others, result in at least 2,500 households (11,250 persons) having a 10% increase in household’s income stemming from improved cropland management using BDFA and SLM practices. Of these, 50% of the beneficiaries will be women. As part of this, at least 1,000 households from IP communities will be actively engaged in growing selected local varieties and traditional crops and 750 IP households will be supported to adopt or re-adopt/adapt improved farming practices mimicking traditional farming systems and their ecological functions. Incremental funding from existing government and local development programs as well as linkages with microfinancing schemes will support BDFA and SLM implementation within the agroecosystem and improve and diversify livelihoods and incomes of stakeholder communities and ensure sustainability of investments beyond the life of the project. The project’s recognition of Indigenous Knowledge Systems and Practices (IKSPs) and traditional agrobiodiversity products compatible with SLM and BDFA principles will not only preserve knowledge but will also improve understanding and sensitivity towards IP culture and heritage. Aspects of this may be included in the complimentary development project and programs undertaken by government, NGOs or as part of companies’ CSR. In addition, through the project’s engagement with the IP tribal leaderships, the capacities within the IP councils will be strengthened leading to increased cooperation with various IP groups and improved partnership outlook with non-IPs organizations and institutions. The training materials, training videos and MOOC will be made available for all interested parties through the publicized project Knowledge Hub. Indirect beneficiaries will include the wider farming communities in CDORB but will also extend into the five priority river basins with which the project is working as well as into the Philippines at large - through Government interventions and promotion of the project. While at least 150,000 persons are expected to be reached through the project’s learning events and technical work, it is difficult to predict how many would benefit from the project’s interventions long-term but the numbers is perceived to be substantial.

The fishing communities in these coastal barangays typically employ hook and line, nets (pokot, pamanti, etc), fish traps and spears. · Pujada Bay lies within the territorial jurisdiction of Mati City and is bounded by 6 coastal barangays - Tagabakid, Mayo, Don Enrique Lopez, Dahican, Bobon, and Lawigan. About half of the working age population in these coastal barangays are engaged in farming, 30% are engaged in fishing, and the rest are into fish vending, carpentry, small-scale business, mat weaving and bag making. · Malita – Don Marcelino covers the municipal waters of the Malita LGU and Don Marcelino LGU. The Municipality of Malita is composed of 30 barangays, 10 of which are coastal. These include Buhangin, Culaman, Fishing Village, Lacaron, Lais, Mana, New Argao, Poblacion, Tingolo, and Tubalan. The coastal barangays have a population of 44,462, representing 38% of the population of the municipality. The Municipality of Don Marcelino has 15 barangays, 10 of which are coastal. These include Talagutong, Kinanga, Lawa, Lanao, Lapuan, Calian, North Lamidan, South Lamidan, Linadasan and Kiobog. The coastal barangays have a population of around 31,637, representing 71% of the population of the municipality. The IPs - comprising the B’laan and Manobo tribes - have ancestral water claims in the coastal waters of Don Marcelino. Most of the IPs are into fishing using motorized and non-motorized boats, farming, and nito basket weaving. The project is primarily supporting improvements in the management of the municipal waters in the project-targeted areas to ensure that the existing environmental, fisheries and conservation legislation and regulations are more consistently applied, regularly monitored and actively enforced. The project does not envisage changing the prevailing legal natural resource use rights in these municipal waters (unless by community consensus). However many fisherfolk have been conducting illegal activities in these municipal waters (including in strictly protected marine sanctuaries) for many years, with no sanction or repercussions, and may lose access to these illegally harvested fisheries resources as a consequence of improved management regimes supported by the project. To offset the impacts of this loss, the project will target the delivery of the following socio-economic benefits to affected fishing communities living in the coastal barangays of the targeted project sites: · developing entrepreneurial opportunities (e.g. training, seed capital funding, equipment, technical backstopping) for small community-based businesses to deliver goods, supplies and services to the biodiversity-friendly nature-based tourism (NBT) and fishing-related industries. · Creating employment opportunities for community members from biodiversity-friendly: (i) NBT enterprises; (ii) ancillary NBT support businesses; (iii) fish processing businesses; (iv) marine monitoring and enforcement; (iv) marine and coastal habitat restoration and rehabilitation; and (iv) habitat and marine wildlife monitoring and research. · Strengthening the individual skills and capacities of community members to improve their employment and career opportunities in biodiversity friendly industries. · diversifying income streams from biodiversity friendly enterprises to help strengthen community resilience to episodic events such as storm surges, flooding and global pandemics. · Leveraging training, funding, technical assistance and/or investment support from private and public sector projects and programmes for communities to develop biodiversity-friendly livelihood enterprises. · Assisting community members to access micro-finance or small loans for sustainable biodiversity-friendly livelihoods. · Building the awareness of local fishing communities, coastal tourism businesses and recreational users about the economic importance of conserving ETP MW and their habitats and promoting their active involvement in monitoring and conservation efforts. During the project implementation phase, a Process Framework will be prepared to guide the engagement and participatory process to be followed to ensure that affected stakeholders (i.e. those affected by restrictions in access to natural resources) participate in the planning, establishment, management and development of the MPAs. The Process Framework will also clearly define: (i) the eligibility criteria of affected persons or groups for project-supported livelihood development assistance; and (ii) the methods and procedures by which the affected coastal communities will identify and choose the most appropriate type of 'livelihood development' support to be delivered by the project. The development of the Process Framework will specifically incorporate gender concerns to optimize livelihood development opportunities for women. The project will work closely with relevant government agencies, and will primarily focus on the delivery of socio-economic benefits through accredited local Peoples Organizations (POs) and/or Community-Based Organizations (CBOs). The project will deliver social and economic benefits to at least 14,307 individuals (of whom at least 4,848 are women) at the national, regional, provincial and municipal levels who are engaged in project activities (including training capacity development, MPA management, enforcement, education and awareness-raising). The project will further enable direct employment and livelihood development opportunities to at least 140 individuals (of whom at least 55 are women) from marginalised coastal fisher communities, whose opportunities for upliftment and prosperity are otherwise limited.Global Environment Facility UNDP DENR-BMB CEO Endorsement Date Actual Implementation Start Date Expected Completion Date ' Philippines Davao 7.54734 125.92499 +![cdata[Environmental policy and administrative management]]+ +![cdata[Biodiversity]]+ +![cdata[Site preservation]]+ 12003 UNDP DENR-BMB 2639726 GEF XI-BRIDGE-6385676864-10568 Global Environment Facility By 2027, the Philippine Rise Marine Resource Reserve of 352,390 hectares, consisting of a 49,684 hectares Strict Protection Zone and a 302,706 ha Multiple Use Zone, is conserved and better managed, protecting globally significant biodiversity while facilitating the sustainable use of its marine resources and generating livelihood benefits for adjacent communities Note: Disbursement data provided is cumulative and covers disbursement made by the project Agency.The core group of beneficiaries are 5,000 people who depend directly on fishing in the Philippine Rise; this group will benefit from the PRICELESS project through the following:· Improved marine ecosystems resulting in improved livelihoods and food security· Increased opportunities for income related to sustainable fishing as well as other livelihoods. In particular, the project will provide capacity building and material support to community members for biodiversity-friendly enterprises (BDFEs).While the impacts of the PRMRR on municipal coastal fisheries will depend on connectivity and other factors, it is expected that PRMRR protection will lead to increased fisheries productivity. The aforementioned potential increase in fishery production can translate to increase in income of fisherfolks in the identified coastal municipalities in close proximity to the Philippine Rise. Men and women who are currently or will be engaged in other livelihoods linked to capture fishing also stand to gain from any improvement in fisheries productivity. These livelihood activities include fish vending, gleaning, fish processing, etc. Fish and fish products constitute a major portion in the Filipino food consumption comprising 11.9% of total food intake compared to the 7.3% for meat and products and 3.3% for poultry, therefore improved management of the PRMRR has the potential to improve food security for the coastal provinces. As noted above, the project will work with Local Government Units to identify means of capturing the impact of improved fisheries productivity on trends in incomes and food security.The local economies of the identified coastal municipalities of the 7 provinces can potentially benefit from the Biodiversity Friendly Enterprises (BDFE) supported by Component 3 of the PRICELESS Project. This may be not only through newly-created enterprises but also through the expansion or scaling-up of existing micro or small enterprises. An MSME in the Philippines is defined as any business activity or enterprise engaged in industry, agri-business and/or services that has: (1) an asset size (less land) of up to PhP100 million; and (2) an employment size with less than 200 employees.[1] The multiplier effect of this enterprise creation can be generated for the ancillary industries that support the value chain. For example, in fisheries this may include boat building, boat engine supply and maintenance, and fishing paraphernalia. Added to these will be the inter-industry links to biodiversity conservation like eco-tourism and its allied services.Sustaining the BDFEs promoted by PRICELESS in the provinces/municipalities can contribute to local government revenues. A local government’s regular income is the total of locally sourced revenues plus the internal revenue allotment (IRA) plus other shares of national tax collection. The enterprises can contribute to the locally sourced revenues which is made up of real property tax plus tax on business and other taxes, plus service/user charges plus receipts from economic enterprises. More income for local governments can augment their resources for the delivery of basic social services to the communities.The Conservation Agreement program supported by Component 3 of the Project will provide additional benefits to communities involved in protecting PRMRR. These may include support for income-generation activities, as well as other benefits related to health, education, or savings. Finally, the project will generate benefits in the form of education and capacity-building related to marine conservation, as well as other ecosystem service benefits from protection of the PRMRR.Global Environment Facility CI Department of Environment and Natural Resources- Biodiversity Management Bureau CEO Endorsement Date Actual Implementation Start Date Expected Completion Date ' Philippines Province of Quezon 14.666667 121.500000 Province of Catanduanes 13.833333 124.250000 Province of Camarines Sur 13.666667 123.333333 Province of Camarines Norte 14.166667 122.750000 Province of Aurora 15.987778 121.580278 Province of Albay 13.216667 123.550000 PRMRR (Benham Plateau) 16.500000 124.750000 Province of Isabela 17.000000 122.000000 Cagayan Province 17.206389 121.991667 +![cdata[Environmental policy and administrative management]]+ +![cdata[Biodiversity]]+ +![cdata[Site preservation]]+ 3662844 GEF XI-BRIDGE-6385676864-10609 Global Environment Facility Reduce GHG emissions from transport in the Philippines through e-mobility industry development Note: Disbursement data provided is cumulative and covers disbursement made by the project Agency.

Other direct beneficiaries are expected in the private and public sector as recipients of trainings and knowledge exchange through connecting with regional and global platforms. Assuming that 40% of the population of the targeted cities will be permanent users of e-jeepneys and e-buses, the project will indirectly benefit 1,167,246 people. The project will impact a wide scope of inhabitants due to cleaner air.The estimation of number of direct beneficiaries is 91,100 beneficiaries (54560 women, 36540 men). The total number consists of the following:Number of trainees in all technical and institutional workshops and training sessions: 500 (40% women)Number of municipal population (90,600) that will use e-jeepneys and e-buses using deployed charging infrastructure (60% women)The project will create socio-economic benefits at that national and local level by supporting Philippine’s electric vehicle market continue to develop, in turn creating co-benefits in the form of new jobs along the EV value chain in the Philippines, a reduction in the Philippine’s contribution to GHG emissions globally, and improvements in national and local air quality. Electric vehicles have emerged as a key technological solution to decarbonizing the transport sector and Philippines’s decision to pursue development of their own EV automotive sector nationally creates synergies to meet climate targets while creating opportunities for people to work, develop new technological skills and improve the quality of life in local communities. The project supports this through the development of support programme for entrepreneurs and SMEs working on electric mobility and supports inclusivity by dedicated attention to women entrepreneurs working in the space and support opportunities for women to work in the labour market in the Philippines. From a gender perspective, the project also supports development of safe, clean and efficient transport for men and women, in turn supporting economic growth by reducing travel time and providing reliable modes of transport through new proposed policy and planning measures. Please see the ESMP for further details. Project interventions will contribute to several co-benefits, including accelerating the development of renewable energy and decarbonization of the grid and the electricity sector (through charging stations powered by renewable energy), the improvement of air quality and reduction of GHG emissions in the transportation sector, and the development of EV industry sector. These co-benefits can be quantified and described in more detail below: 1. Improvement of the air quality through the reduction of air pollutants emission from transport. Due to introduction of electric vehicles and the establishment of electric vehicles charging stations integrated with renewable energy systems within the Project there will be co-benefits of reducing major air pollutants like NOx, SO2, PM10. The pilot use of electric vehicles will replace some existing public transport vehicles including jeepneys which are diesel-run and have an average age of more than 20 years with relatively high exhaust pipe emissions of air pollutants. This will result in reduced concentrations of air pollutants especially particulate matter and improve air quality along the operating routes, and thus will benefit local people and users of public transport vehicles including women and children. This is expected to directly reduce the following pollutants in the project lifetime: particulate matter by 26,151 tones, NOx by 1,244,627 tons and SO2 by 3,011 tons. In addition, the interventions of the project (both the policy, demonstration, and capacity building and knowledge exchange) and are expected to indirectly reduce the following pollutants: particulate matter by 61,018 tones, NOx by 2,904,130 tons and SO2 by 7,027 tons. 2. Development of renewable energy and decarbonization of the grid and the electricity sector through the contribution to the increased installed capacity of PV systems by 1250 kW and additional deployment of the renewable energy systems through scaling up activities.

Note: Disbursement data provided is cumulative and covers disbursement made by the project Agency.The key objective of the project is the full implementation of the Stockholm convention on POPs, resulting in the effective prohibition of import and export of POPs, POPs containing chemicals and articles, and the phasing out or elimination of POPs and the reduction U-POPs, currently used in the manufacturing sectors or released as a result of industrial processes. The achievement of the project objective will impact positively the environment and the human health, with a substantial social benefit for the population of the Philippines and for the environment at local and global level. This will also translate in a reduced impact associated to the health expenditures. The project is articulated in 3 components to achieve this objective:· Component 1: 1. Comprehensive roadmap for greening the manufacturing sector in the Philippines through a better management of chemicals, including NIP update,· Component 2: 2. Demonstration of Green Chemistry implementation including POPs and U-POPs reduction.· Component 3: Enhancing the chemical management and reporting of POPs countrywide through the implementation of PRTR system.It is evident that the implementation of green chemistry technologies and the elimination of industrial POPs from manufacturing processes, the establishment of systems and procedures to reduce the release of U-POPs, and the establishment (although in a limited number of enterprises) of a functional PRTR system are processes requiring significant resources, capacity and investment. It is also clear that the GEF financing can only contribute to the initial, catalytic step of this process. On another side, it is also clear that in any case, being the Philippines a party of the Stockholm Convention, the technical and financial support to enterprises committed to eliminated POPs from their manufacturing process, or to reduce U-POPs release, is a substantial financial benefit given that SC has to be enforced anyway, and in the absence of supporting project like the one proposed, the impact on the manufacturing sector will be harder and not mitigated. For this reason, one of the pillar of this project is to consolidate and widen the already existing Green Financing Framework in the Philippines, to ensure that the investment needed for Green Chemistry implementation and POPs elimination are eligible under such financing scheme and that can be sustained beyond project life. With this perspective, the project has already mobilized a substantial co-financing support from key financial institutions in the Philippine which are already involved in large green financing initiatives in the country. The project will therefore facilitate the access to these funds of enterprises willing to establish green chemistry process and committing to eliminate POPs from their processes. The main social and economic benefit for the project is therefore the enhancement of the financial sustainability of project activities related to green chemistry implementation and POPs elimination through the establishment of a proper financing scheme which will be in the first phase (during project life) sustained with GEF grant and in a longer phase sustained with the financing support ensured through the FREEME and its synergies with current financing initiatives. There are however a number of additional social and economical benefit brought by the project: · The technical and financial support, under the same green financing scheme, of investment aimed at supporting enterprises in recovering from the COVID-19 pandemic and ensuring protection of workers from the risk of infection; · The implementation of a Gender Mainstreaming Plan, which is integrated in the project structure, and which will ensure that women and men will enjoy the same conditions concerning access to information, job opportunities, safety the workplace, and training in the course of project implementation; · The development of a knowledge base for the technologies demonstrated in the course of the project, which will be a key source of information for the development of POPs free manufacturing technologies (Component 4, Outcome 4.1, Knowledge Management); · The demonstration of a PRTR system, which will enhance the transparency of the environmental impact of industrial activities through a standardised reporting system, in compliance with the Aarhus Convention related to the access to environmental information; · Increased capacity of the Custom to identify chemicals and goods containing POPs, with evident advantage for the community which would bot be exposed to such chemicals. It should be mentioned that a number of articles containing POPs (like chlorinated rubber paint, and EPS/XPS insulating boards) are still quite common worldwide, and there is no sign that Philippine that the import of these goods is restricted.Global Environment Facility UNDP Department of Environment and Natural Resources and Environment of the Philippines – Environment Management Bureau CEO Endorsement Date Actual Implementation Start Date Expected Completion Date ' Philippines National Capital Region 14.57775 121.04599 +![cdata[Chemicals]]+ 0 UNDP Department of Environment and Natural Resources and Environment of the Philippines – Environment Management Bureau 6562500 GEF XI-BRIDGE-6385676864-10704 Global Environment Facility To mainstream biodiversity and sustainable land management in and around key biodiversity areas along Bataan province to Manila Bay while improving secure and diversified local livelihoods. Note: Disbursement data provided is cumulative and covers disbursement made by the project Agency.284. The project will generate important socio-economic benefits, including benefits for COVID-19 recovery and climate resilience, at local level in the communities of Bataan. First, it will capacitate at least 830 farmers and fisherfolk (at least 47% women[1]), including Indigenous Peoples (IPs) to practice sustainable natural resource management, biodiversity-friendly agriculture (including forestry, fisheries, agroforestry) and restoration. The project will strengthen or newly create at least five new POs practicing biodiversity-friendly livelihoods, of which at least one is a women’s group or youth group, and at least one IP group. The project livelihood and value chain interventions are expected to result in at least 1,710 beneficiaries (50% women, at least 260 IPs), contributing to COVID-19 recovery and leading to an anticipated 10% increase in income from diversified sustainable livelihoods by participating households. Finally, the project will benefit 100 farmers (50% women, at least 20 IPs) in the selected project sites that practice soil and water conservation measures. It will also reach 9,750 stakeholders (50% women) of Bataan Province by project knowledge management and communications activities. Through these interventions, the project will promote green recovery/green jobs such as in ecotourism enterprises, agroforestry product marketing, and forest carbon incentive schemes. This will contribute to full and productive employment and decent work in rural areas, aiming at the progressive realization of local peoples’ right to Decent Rural Employment.[2] 285. The project will contribute to the development of Biodiversity-Friendly Enterprises (BDFE). This initiative is guided by DENR Department Administrative Order 2021-13 or the Guidelines for the Development and Recognition of Biodiversity Friendly Enterprises (BDFEs) in Protected Areas under the National Integrated Protected Area System (NIPAS) and Conservation Areas Providing for Incentives and Mechanisms, and DENR-BMB Technical Bulletin No. 2017-11 or the Guidelines in the Identification and Recognition of Biodiversity Friendly Enterprise (BDFE). This strategy/initiative promotes non-destructive livelihood activities among the local communities to minimize their dependence on unsustainable resource extraction-based sources of livelihood. Instead, the initiative is linked to sustainable land and resource use as well as in promoting conservation of resources which is given priority, including ecotourism and the introduction of sustainable agricultural technologies in upland farming communities. 286. These socio-economic benefits are expected to translate into global environmental benefits in over 3,800 ha of landscapes and seascapes under biodiversity-friendly agriculture, forest and fisheries management practices that reduce threats to biodiversity and minimize land degradation. Agro-ecosystem services that help sustain food production and local livelihoods will be maintained or enhanced. Sustainable agriculture, agroforestry, fisheries, and aquaculture within the upland farms and coastal areas of Bataan can supplement crop yields ensuring food availability and additional income for the local communities. 287. At the provincial and national level, the project will train 250 staff (50% women) of DENR and provincial and municipal LGUs in watershed hydrology or land degradation assessments or coastal management strategies; in harmonization and biodiversity/SLM mainstreaming; and in biodiversity monitoring systems. 288. Please also refer to the Gender Action Plan in Section 3. Gender Equality and Women’s Empowerment. [1] Note: The 47% women results from the greater number of men than women among fisherfolk, which are predominantly men. Generally, the project applies a percentage of 50% women beneficiaries.[2] For more information on FAO’s work on decent rural employment and related guidance materials please consult the FAO thematic website at: http://www.fao.org/rural-employment/en/.Global Environment Facility FAO Department of Environment and Natural Resources-Biodiversity Management Bureau (DENR-BMB) Department of Agriculture-Bureau of Soils and Water Management (DA-BSWM CEO Endorsement Date Actual Implementation Start Date ' Philippines +![cdata[Forestry development]]+ +![cdata[Environmental policy and administrative management]]+ +![cdata[Biodiversity]]+ +![cdata[Site preservation]]+ 2731050 GEF XI-BRIDGE-6385676864-10738 Global Environment Facility The overall objective of the project is to improve the management of coastal fisheries and conserve globally significant biodiversity in the Leyte Gulf, through a combination of local government led marine spatial planning, community mobilization leading to lasting behavior change, policy reform, and capacity development Note: Disbursement data provided is cumulative and covers disbursement made by the project Agency. 1. The project will provide new opportunities to improve the social and economic resilience of the local fishing households by increasing participation, inclusion, equity, accountability, and transparency through improved community-based management coupled with behavioral insight approaches, and financial inclusion. 2. Under the third component of this project, Rare will help strengthen the financial resilience of fisher households to support sustainable behaviors and MPA protection activities through the formation of savings clubs. These are low-cost mechanisms that contribute to change financial behaviors within fisher households and expand fishers’ planning horizons. As individuals save money and build financial identity, they begin investing in their families, homes, education, and businesses and start developing positive attitudes toward long-term resource management. 3. Based on the results of past Rare initiatives with similar interventions, strong evidence infers that the program can effectively change attitudes and shift behaviors, including key behaviors which focus on protecting no-take reserves. Under this project, Rare will be also be using household surveys to measure financial capacity, household assets, fishing dependence and value retention at baseline and at the end of the project. Rare expects to see improvements in these metrics, as a result of the beneficiaries’ increased participation and training in both sustainable management and financial resilience.

The project envisages several areas which will bring socio-economic benefit along with the global environmental benefit pursued by the project:Environmentally sound waste management of Health Care and Covid-19 related waste. The development and consolidation of technologies and procedures for the environmentally sound management of waste can bring a number of social and economic benefit associated with 1) the minimization of environmental and health risk associated to the improper management of infectious and hazardous waste which eventually represent a cost for the society; 2) the minimization of the management cost of hazardous and infectious waste, due to a better segregation, the use of more efficient pre-treatment technologies, the enhancement of recycling and reuse whenever technically and legally acceptable, etc; 3) the increase of the capacity of environmentally sound disposal of hazardous and infectious waste, resulting in the increase of job opportunities. The achievable GEB (reduction of U-POPs and mercury release in the environment) is directly related to the social and economic benefit which can be achieved, and in this sense may be considered as a win-win mechanism. Support to enterprises to access environmental funds and to improve the circularity of their processes. Under Output 1.1.5, the project will provide Support to small manufacturers and women enterprises to increase the production of fabric reusable PPEs. This is a key output of the project which benefits could extend well beyond the pandemic emergency, due to the fact that PPEs market will likely remain very promising even after the This activity aims at providing support to small manufacturers on the production of non-medical face masks which may be effective, suitable, made of material which are durable and can stay in contact with the skin, effectively reusable for a number of times, improving therefore the circularity of such products. Similarly, under output 1.1.6, the project intends to provide technical assistance to MSMEs in the healthcare sector, including TSDs and manufacturers of PPEs and other non-mercury-containing medical devices, to access existing green financing schemes. This will ensure that the use of existing financial resources is optimized and that the rate of applications to existing green fund increases, through improving communication and awareness raising about green financing opportunities and providing technical assistance in the application process. Initiatives aimed at promoting gender equality and reducing gender gaps. The project activities have been designed to ensure the key involvement of women as project leaders and as beneficiaries.

This project brings multiple socio-economic benefits, including, health benefits for the general population, social and economic empowerment of people working in related industries, empowerment of related personnel and even the general population through knowledge management and communication practices, as well as the promotion of gender equality. Health Benefits: This project helps to phase-out the non-environmentally acceptable products (NEAP) and encourage the production and use of alternative, more sustainable and multi-use F&B packaging materials. This would reduce human exposure to hazardous chemicals that is sometimes present in single-use plastics. This will benefit not just workers in the F&B related industries, but wider population as consumers generally. Social and Economic Empowerment: To a certain extent, this project will catalyse the upgrade of the F&B packaging industry. This would mean the introduction of new materials, new technologies, and new business solutions. Necessarily, such will not only bring new employment opportunities, but also involve the training of related personnel and preparation of them for the uptake. Knowledge Empowerment: Through a series of knowledge sharing and learning activities designed for awareness-raising, this project will bring knowledge empowerment to both professionals working on (or in collaboration with) this project and the wider public. A deeper appreciation for circular economy approaches to the management of plastic products would be gained, and greater awareness for the hazards of single-use plastics will be achieved. Promotion of Gender Equality: This project has built in the principle of gender mainstreaming when designing its activities.
