TCPF: Formulation of CPF 2018-2024 in the Philippines The government recently launched its new economic development framework, which is embodied in the Philippine Development Plan (PDP) 2017-2022. To ensure alignment with the government?s policies and priorities, FAOPH will be formulating a new Country Programming Framework (CPF) 2018-2024.  The CPF will be based on situational analysis of the agriculture and fisheries (AF), environment and natural resources (ENR) sectors, including recent developments related to the peace process in the country and emergency response as it applies to the AF and the ENR sectors. 
The framework will also include the analysis of the gender dimension of the agriculture and rural development sectors. Specifically, it will explore existing gender relations and inequalities in various subsectors of agriculture, their causes and their impact on the economic and social development of rural areas and on food security and nutrition.

The CPF will also incorporate the relevant Sustainable Development Goals in the context of the Philippines. The formulation of the new CPF will also build on past and ongoing FAO projects and will involve consultative dialogue with key stakeholders on strategic opportunities for future FAO activities in the country.
