1. NATIONAL GREENING PROGRAM
Executive Order No. 26
DENR, R8, Tacloban City

2. What is the National Greening Program (NGP)?

3. Executive Order 26 describes the NGP as a program seeking to “plant some 1.5 billion trees covering about 1.5 million hectares for a period of six (6) years from 2011 to 2016, in lands of the public domain.”
These lands include forestlands, mangrove and protected areas, ancestral domains, civil and military reservations, and urban areas.

4. NGP Goals Poverty Reduction Food Security Biodiversity Conservation
Climate Change Mitigation and Adaptation

5. NGP Objectives HUMAN SECURITY Increased household incomes
Enhanced environmental stewardship
Improved general well-being of communities
ECONOMIC SECURITY
Increased economic activity
Increased interest in technology and
business development

6. NGP Objectives Increased production of crops and
forest-based materials
ECOLOGICAL SECURITY
Increased environmental stability
Sustained provision of ecosystem goods
and services

7. The NGP Targets YEAR TARGET Year 1: 100,000 ha 100 M
1.5 Million
hectares
1.5 Billion
seedlings

8. What difference can the NGP make?

9. There are about 5 million poor upland families who earn an average annual income of Php 22,995. These families already represent almost 1/3 of the entire Philippine population.
Built into the NGP are cash incentives for families and communities that will be stewards of the plantations. There will also be benefits from processing/marketing produce or crops.

10. Across the Philippines are 8 million hectares of unproductive, open, denuded, or degraded forestlands.
A hectare of land in Mindanao can earn Php120,000 per year. Even at only Php10,000 earnings/hectare/year, the 8 million hectares could already generate Php 80 billion per year.

11. We are importing a whopping 3 million metric tons per year of wheat, 1
We are importing a whopping 3 million metric tons per year of wheat, 1.2 million metric tons of rice, and 125,000 metric tons of soya, among others.
Imagine: (1) how much we would save if we could source all that locally; (2) how much wood/paper and other forest by-products we would get for national use; and (3) how much the country could earn from exports of such products.

12. What will make it work?

13. Social Mobilization
The government, private sector, people’s organizations, non-government organizations, and civil society join hands in the activities of the NGP - as volunteer planters, long-term plantation stewards, or donors.
For the first time, the NGP is driven, not just by one, but by all government agencies through a National Convergence Initiative.

14. Harmonization of Initiatives
This NGP is a “first” as it consolidates and harmonizes all greening efforts, such as the Upland
Development Program, Green Philippine Highways, Luntiang Pilipinas, and other similar activities of the government, private sector, local government units, and the civil society.

15. Provision of Incentives
All proceeds from agroforestry plantations, duly accounted by the DENR, shall accrue to the NGP beneficiary communities. This shall be given priority in the Conditional Cash Transfer (CCT) Program of the Department of Social Welfare and Development.

16. Social Mobilization Use of Appropriate Science and Technology (S&T)
Target areas and inputs will be identified; land use optimized (determining site-specific crops/trees and markets); seedling quality ensured; and organic/ biofertilizers, such as Mycorrhizal fungi and vermicomposting, employed.
