Environmental policy and administrative management

The project aims to establish programs and projects that address biodiversity conservation and environmental law implementation through the conduct of an environmental law Seminar for selected judges, law enforcers and fiscals bolster the knowledge and awareness. In the decade that the SGP has been operating in the Philippines, the programme was able to build strong partnership with a host of POs, CBOs,NGOs, government agencies, local govt. units and the donor community To date , a total of 150 projects have been funded and its list of partners alone compromises at least 445 NGOs/POs/CBOs and 536 local communities nationwide whose concerns cover biodiversity conservation and climate change. The experience of GEF-SGP Philippines demonstrated the effectiveness of community-based action in addressing global problems vis-a vis biodiversity conservation and climate change.. this is rooted in the belief that the local solutions to global environmental problems exist and have been successfully implemented through the GEF-SGP. Similarly it is also recognized tht threre is still an unrealized potential to enhance the impact of the Programme not only at the GEF system and at the levels of other donor agencies, but more importantly at the judicial levels
