-SARC-TSARRD Impact Assessment Study of Farming Systems Development
(FSD) application in a sample of 28 ARCs
-World Bank supported project ARCDP Impact Assessment conducted
in 55 ARCs where FSD was applied
-Region VII-Department of Agrarian Reform (DAR) Impact Assessment
in 18 ARCs where FSD was applied
-Continuing process of validation with representative ARBs,
DAR field staff, local government unit (LGU) and WB-ARCDP staff
-Organizational Profile Information System of WB
-ARCDP based on ARC Level of Development Assessment (ALDA)/OMA
annual exercise by DAR.
-Process Documentation reports-Impact Assessment Study Results
of WB & others
-Reports of other DAR foreign
-assisted projects connected with TSARRD
-Field interviews |
-The land distribution component of CARP is mandated by law
for completion
-Some of the post CARP scenarios envisaged the future role of
DAR to have strong emphasis on beneficiaries' development program.
In addition, the activities of DAR within the CARP constitute
a major element in the national programs of poverty alleviation
and food security which are targeted up to year 2004.
-Since the Project's activities relate to providing support
in the development of agrarian reform beneficiaries and their
organizations, the activities extend beyond the realm of agrarian
reform and cover the wider field of rural development.
-It is worthy to note that several scale projects funded by
World Bank, European community and the Belgian and Japanese
governments which have either recently started or in the final
stages of approval are planned for 5-6 year's implementation
period and go far beyond the present CARP mandate. |
