|Pub Abstract=This study, which was commissioned by GTZ, aims at providing base line information to LIP. The findings are based on research conducted in four sites, which are also pilot sites for the LIP projects, and on information collected from different
institutions and programmes at various levels.
The perceived needs and requirements of the local population show a high degree of congruency with the objectives of the three projects under the Leyte Island Program. With poverty prevailing on rural Leyte Island, a main task of the projects will be to combine efforts of sustainable natural resource management
with possibilities to improve the livelihood of the population. Current projects provided by different government agencies have not yet solved the problem of sustainably increasing the living standard on a broader scale. Uncontrolled use of forest lands is widespread. People without access to suitable agricultural land often engage in illegal logging or try to survive as shifting cultivators on forest land. Institutional support for environmentally sound utilisation of
natural resources is currently almost unavailable to the local population. Extension services are very weak and still suffering from the problems brought about by decentralisation. While the responsibility of providing extension services to farmers lies with the municipal LGUs, they lack the staff and financial resources to successfully accomplish this task.
