The Food Facility Project is project funded by European Commission (EC) which aims to increase agricultural production thereby improving immediate and longer-term access to safe food of poor families from  60 disaster-prone villages in five municipalities in the Philippines. The main proponent of the Project is CARE Nederland in partnership with the Corporate Network for Disaster Response and Agri-Aqua Development Coalition.

The total project cost is €1.3M and will run from January 15, 2010 to October 14, 2011. Of the total project cost, CNDR and its local government partners received a grant of ₱49.7M for the project implementation in Calabanga, Dingalan and St. Bernard.
Specific targets of the project are as follows:

  • Targeted households  have applied  appropriate technologies and  produced food for immediate and longer-term consumption and have developed viable markets for surplus produce;
  • Local government units and other stakeholders collaborated in improving governance in the agricultural sector to enhance sustainability of food production activities; and
  • Targeted households with support from local government units and other stakeholders have developed organisational and project management capacities to enhance sustainability of food production activities.
