    The National Greening Program (NGP) in the Philippines aims to plant 1.5 billion trees across 1.5 million hectares of public land over six years to achieve various economic, environmental, and human security objectives. The NGP targets planting 100 million trees in year 1, increasing by 100 million each year to 300 million trees per year for years 4-6, for a total of 1.5 billion trees across 1.5 million hectares. The NGP is expected to increase incomes for upland families, generate billions in annual earnings from previously unproductive forest lands, and reduce imports of agricultural products by boosting local production.

    Executive Order No.

    26

    What is the National Greening


    Program (NGP)?
    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.

    NGP Objectives
    HUMAN SECURITY
    Increased household incomes
    Enhanced environmental stewardship
    Improved general well-being of commodities
    ECONOMIC SECURITY
    Increased economic activity
    Increased interest in technology and business
    development
    Increased production of crops and forest-based materials.

    Increased environmental stability


    Sustained provision of ecosystem goods and services.

    The NGP Target


    YEAR

    TARGET

    Year 1: 100,000 ha

    100 M

    Year 2: 200,000 ha

    200 M

    Year 3: 300,000 ha

    300 M

    Year 4: 300,000 ha

    300 M

    Year 5: 300,000 ha

    300 M

    Year 6: 300,000 ha

    300 M

    1.5 Million hectares

    1.5 Billion seedlings

    All in all, this target is more than the accomplishment over the past 25 years.

    What difference can the NGP


    make?
    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.

    Across the Philippines are 8 million hectares of

    unproductive,
    forestlands.

    open,

    denuded,

    or

    degraded

    A hectare of land in Mindanao can earn Php


    120,000 per year. Even at only Php 10,000
    earnings/hectare/year, the 8 million hectares
    could already generate Php 80 billion per
    year.

    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.

    What will make it work?


    Social Mobilization

    The government, private sector, peoples


    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.

    Harmonization of Initiatives

    The 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,
    the civil society.
    Provision of Incentives
    All proceeds from the 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.

    Use of Appropriate Science and Technology (S&T)

    Target areas and inputs will be identified; land use


    optimized (determining site-specific crop/trees and
    markets);
    seedling
    quality
    ensured;
    and
    organic/biofertilizers, such as Mycorrhizal fungi and
    vermicomposting, employed.
