UNDP EQUATOR INITIATIVE CASE STUDY SERIES
Local and indigenous communities across the world are advancing innovative sustainable development solutions that wo
or people and or nature. Few publications or case studies tell the ull story o how such initiatives evolve, the breadth
their impacts, or how they change over time. Fewer still have undertaken to tell these stories with community practition
themselves guiding the narrative.
To mark its 10-year anniversary, the Equator Initiative aims to ll this gap. The ollowing case study is one in a growing ser
that details the work o Equator Prize winners vetted and peer-reviewed best practices in community-based environmenconservation and sustainable livelihoods. These cases are intended to inspire the policy dialogue needed to take local succ
to scale, to improve the global knowledge base on local environment and development solutions, and to serve as models
replication. Case studies are best viewed and understood with reerence to The Power o Local Action: Lessons rom 10 Years

Kalinga Province is situated in the Cordillera Administrative Region
the northern Philippines island o Luzon. The Cordilleras mountain
alleys are home to the indigenous Kalinga people, whose main
velihood activity is arming on hillside rice terraces. This activity
elies heavily on the conservation o mountain orest biodiversity
nd the health o local watersheds, including the Chico River system.
A people and way o lie under threat
n response to various threats to the provinces natural heritage
nd persistently low levels o social development during the
980s, a group o student leaders came together to ound the
Dananao Students Organization (DSO), a group that would lay theoundations or the ormation o the Kalinga Mission or Indigenous
Communities and Youth Development, Inc. (KAMICYDI) in the 1990s.
hese students and young people aimed to conront the widespread
overty o the Kalinga people, the loss o their traditional culture,
he eects o armed confict, poor delivery o social services, and
heir marginalisation within the Philippines development sphere.
he Kalinga peoples valleys were also threatened by inrastructure
rojects proposed by the Philippines government which endangered
heir communities, sacred places, rice terraces, livelihoods, and
atural heritage. The Chico River Dam Project was a notable case, in
which an electric power generation project threatened the Kalinga
eoples ancestral domain. The Batong Buhay Gold Mines, under
he control o the Philippines government rom 1979, also hadignicant harmul environmental impacts. Local slash-and-burn
gricultural practices had urther contributed to the loss o orest
over and watershed degradation.
A youth-led response to environmental threats
KAMICYDIs response to these threats was to combine traditional
nd indigenous practices with modern technologies to develop
more sustainable agricultural practices, which were then promoted
mong the Kalinga tribes and other indigenous peoples in the
Cordillera region. Initially beginning in 1984, the Dananao Stud
Organisation provided outreach services to Kalingas indige
communities. Ancestral domain and environmental prote
were the main ocuses o these eorts. From 1987, this work
replicated in other areas o the Cordillera Administrative Re
by the Cordillera Association or Progress and Unity; in 1990
led to the ormation o the Kalinga Mission or Children and Y
Development, Inc. (KMCYD, Inc.), an organisation that woul
legally registered in 1996, and renamed the Kalinga Missio
Indigenous Communities and Youth Development, Inc. (KAMIC
in 2003.

rom 1990 onwards, KAMICYDIs young leaders began pioneering
heir innovative approach, called Sustainable Indigenous Peoples
Agricultural Technology (or SIPAT). Project activities were ocussed
n enhancing the ecological integrity o orests, directly protecting
orests, and reorestation with endemic species; protecting
watersheds through agroorestry; the rehabilitation o indigenous
ommunal irrigation systems; and the production o rice, vegetables,
nd sh in hillside rice terraces. The primary objectives were to
mprove ood security by increasing agricultural productivity, andelping to conserve the mountains biological diversity.
Preserving indigenous and traditional heritage
hese twin goals have been pursued alongside eorts to preserve
Kalinga traditions and culture, particularly linked to their ancestral
omain lands. While the Indigenous Peoples Rights Act (1997) o the
hilippines recognizes ancestral domains o indigenous cultural
ommunities, this has typically concerned spatial denitions such
s the barangay, which is the smallest politico-administrative unit
the Philippines, or has been applied to municipalities. The Kalinga
ommunities o Cordillera Province typically live within an area o
and known as an ili, a term in the Philippines or a geographical area
historically inhabited and deended by a homogeneous people
common ancestors. KAMICYDIs interaction with specic Ka
communities has taken place within the context o the ili; to
the initiative has worked with 54 such communities, or a tot
174,000 Kalinga people. Thanks to this work, the poverty ra
these communities has allen rom 72% in 1996 to 54% in 2
The Kalinga have also been able to conserve 90% o their
biodiversity during this time.
The SIPAT approach draws heavily on pre-existing technolo
and traditional arming approaches. For instance, KAMICYD
popularised ftu, a traditional system o hunting that has helpe
conserve orest cover. Watersheds have been protected throug
approach known as pinagwa, while ara is an indigenous irriga
system used or rice terraces. Decisions have been taken
participatory manner, including communities in the manageme
agricultural systems, in an indigenous governance system knowamung.
Finally, KAMICYDIs approach has also relied on multi-stakeho
partnerships to enable its large-scale education and policy advo
campaigns.

Key Activities and Innovations
he sustainable agricultural techniques advocated by KAMICYDI
onsist o ve main components.
he rst o these is ftu orest management. According to indigenous
practices, when holes are dug in orested areas to trap animals
uch as wild boars or meat, it is prohibited to cut any tree within a
0-metre radius o the hole. This helps to conserve orest resources,
while simultaneously ensuring the sustainability o meat supplies.
Other activities incorporated within orest management include
on-site reorestation and orest maintenance. Outputs o this system
ave been the maintenance o 81% o orested lands in Kalinga
District, and 72% in the wider Cordillera region.
hepinagwasystem o securing watersheds entails amily ownership,
maintenance, management, and protection o the agricultural and
orested areas surrounding individual watersheds. Typically there
re prohibitions on any activities within a nine-metre radius o the
water source; trees are planted within 36 metres o the source to lter
he water. Restoration o these agroorestry ecosystems has helped
o maintain a total o 108 watersheds, allowing or the sustainable
rrigation o rice terraces.
Ara an indigenous communal irrigation system is the system
o channels that connect watersheds to rice elds. The purpose o
hese systems is to irrigate rice elds sustainably. Activities involved
n the ara system include the repair o existing channels andonstruction o new irrigation systems. Outputs have included 90
ystems that have been eectively repaired and rehabilitated, and
8 irrigation systems that have been newly constructed; these 108
ystems correspond to the watersheds that have been conserved,
nd maintain a continuous supply o water to local rice terraces.
y integrating rice terraces with sheries and vegetable production,
KAMICYDI has worked to diversiy ood sources or Kalinga
ommunities. Mud sh are reared in the rice elds, supplying an
dditional source o nutrition or armers. Water lilies and watercress
are also planted, while soy, nitrogen-rich mongo, and green,
and black bean plants are planted around the terraces to reduc
erosion and maintain the integrity o the terrace structures. A to126 hectares o rice terraces have been repaired and rehabilitate
addition to 27 hectares o rice terraces being newly created.
The nal element o KAMICYDIs approach to encoura
sustainable agricultural practices has been developing partners
with a variety o governmental and non-governmental a
working in Kalinga District. This has helped to replicate innov
agricultural approaches in new communities, and has also
important in coordinating advocacy eorts. To date, KAMICYD
partnered with nine local government units.

Impacts
BIODIVERSITY IMPACTS
Thanks to the various components o the SIPAT approach, the
mountain biodiversity o Kalinga District has substantially recovered
rom its degraded state. In 1990, or instance, one-third o the areas
orest cover had been destroyed due to orest res and the practice
okaingin, a Tagalog phrase roughly equating to shiting, slash-and-
burn cultivation. Although there is some debate over the impacts
o kaingin, there is no doubt that where it was being extensively
employed or commercial purposes, this had led to substantial
habitat loss. One study estimated that Kalinga had lost one-quarter
o its biological diversity by the late 1980s.
A history o protection o indigenous ancestral domain
KAMICYDIs early eorts concentrated on coordinated advocacy
eorts to halt environmentally-destructive inrastructure projects,
as part o a wider eort on the part o the Kalinga and Bo
indigenous people. The Chico River Dam project was nally she
in 1987, while extraction at the Batong Buhay Gold Mines was h
in the mid-1980s in the ace o local resistance. Although
projects have subsequently been revived by successive Philip
governments, their interruption was seen as a signicant victo
the Kalinga people, and a landmark ancestral domain case. Ag
this backdrop, KAMICYDI began to introduce sustainable agricu
practices in local communities, helping to urther relieve pre
on the areas resources and encourage the regrowth o vegeta
Between 1990 and 2009, the area saw a 15.2% improveme
its biological diversity, according to a study by researchers
the University o the Philippines in Bagiou City. Two bird spreturned to the area thanks to improvements in habitat resu
rom reorestation and watershed protection schemes.

such method has involved 360-degree transect walks, involvin
community members. This walk has been repeated every ve y
Over 2,700 species have been recorded in the conserved orest
watershed areas. Monitoring has also been carried out in partne
with the Philippine Tropical Forest Conservation Foundation (PTin one Kalinga community.
Specic benets have been seen in reorestation and water
protection, under the ftu and pinagwa components o the S
approach. In the ormer case, a total o 50,400 trees have
planted since 1990. This has involved 2,790 women volunteers:

committed to maintaining tree seedlings ater planting, ens
that these regrowth eorts have been sustainable. To date, 90

Over 126 varieties o rice are planted in Kalinga; o these, 18 are
highly productive. This livelihood activity relies heavily on healthywatersheds and unctioning irrigation systems. Rice production
had decreased by 30.6% by 1996 due to the destruction o orest
cover and watersheds that in turn aected soil nutrient recycling
and reduced water supplies. Thepinagwa component o KAMICYDIs
approach to sustainable agriculture entailed the protection o 126
watersheds. By 2009, rice production had increased by 36% as
a result o KAMICYDIs intervention; the decrease resulting rom
deorestation had been recovered, and production had increased
by a urther 5.4%, testament to the benets o KAMICYDIs holistic
approach to ecosystem management.
SOCIOECONOMIC IMPACTS
This increase in rice production has generated income or Kalinga
arming amilies. Based on a 28.8% increase in household incomes
or the projects direct beneciaries, poverty rates ell by 18%
between 1996 and 2009.
Rice elds are typically amily owned, passing rom athers to sons;
and is also bought and sold as a transaction, however. Each amily,
measured as at least six people, has at least 5-10 rice elds. One
hectare o land, or 20 rice elds, produces approximately 145-180
acks o rice. Each sack holds 50kg o raw rice, meaning that the
average Kalinga household produces a minimum o 2-4 tonnes o
ice per harvest.
To supplement this, KAMICYDIs integrated vegetable and shing
activities have seen 153 hectares o rice elds rehabilitated, and a
urther 72 hectares o elds newly constructed, allowing amilies
o diversiy sources income through rearing sh and growing
vegetables. This work has been supported by the promotion o
ustainable irrigation systems, or ara. The maintenance o 135 such
communal systems o canals supplying rice elds with water, plus
he construction o 54 new systems, has ensured that rice, sh and
vegetable production has been sustained over time.
Secondary benefts or communal wellbeing
The economic benets o increasing agricultural production
diversied income sources have led to urther social benet
Kalinga communities. In 1984, the school completion o the reg
indigenous children was only 6%; out o 100 pupils enrolled in G
I, only 6 would graduate to attend college. By 2009, this rate
increased to 18% across all o the communities KAMICYDI w
with. This indicates that increases in income allowed parents to
children in school or longer, rather than using them as labour i
rice elds.
Health and nutrition also improved due to KAMICYDIs interven
In 1984, third-degree malnutrition rates ranged rom 30-36% am
indigenous children (ages 1-5 years). By 2009, rates had allebetween 9-18% in the communities benetting rom KAMIC
SIPAT programme. This indicates that increased agricu
production translated into improved ood security as well as hi
incomes or arming amilies.
KAMICYDI has developed a programme ocussing on Kalingas yo
targeting young people who in many cases have ew econ
opportunities, and achieve only limited educational attainment
Young Entrepreneurship Skills programme provides developm
opportunities to both in-school and out-o-school youth. Thro
workshops and trainings, KAMICYDI has helped students acq
skills in entrepreneurship and business development.
Finally, KAMICYDIs Micronance Programme or Indigenous Wo
Entrepreneurs (MPIWE) has helped to underpin the sustaina
o the initiatives work by supporting indigenous womens gr
to develop weaving and organic household arming enterp

women and youth to develop micro-enterprises, the initiative has
ttempted to support the development o long-term economic
lternatives to intensive agriculture.
POLICY IMPACTS
he main policy successes o the Kalinga Mission or Indigenous
Communities and Youth Development, Inc. have been in resisting
rojects that would have resulted in the destruction o theCordilleras biological diversity or Kalingas cultural heritage. These
rojects have either been directly proposed or sponsored by the
hilippines government, and have included various aspects o the
Chico River Dam Project and Batong Buhay Gold Mines. Both o these
rojects were shelved during the late 1980s, largely as the result o
he eorts o local and indigenous communities, with support rom
he international community. In this regard, the Kalinga people have
chieved a substantial degree o success in making their voices heard
t the national policy level. These projects remain in development,
owever, and continue to pose threats to the Kalinga peoples way
lie.
The importance o organizing or collective bargaining
A contrasting case is that o a geothermal energy project recently
egun in Kalinga, sponsored by Aragorn Power and Energy
Corporation and Guidance Management Corporation in partnership
with Chevron Corp., the largest producer o geothermal energy in
he world. The coalition o investors signed agreements with local
ommunities inhabiting ancestral domains within the proposed
reas or development, ater a majority o these communities gave
heir ree, prior, and inormed consent. These agreements stipulated
ompensation or local people in the orm o communal irrigation,
waterworks, construction and repair o roads, construction o school
uildings and day-care centres, support or local school boards, and
cholarship schemes or students. O these, only the scholarships
ave so ar been implemented, however, while some communities
ave argued that work began without their consent. The Cordillera
eoples Alliance (CPA) and the National Commission on Indigenous
eoples (NCIP) in Kalinga are attempting to ensure the development
the geothermal project is undertaken in an equitable ashion.
his case illustrates the mechanisms through which a high degree
organisation within the Cordilleras indigenous communities can
elp to ensure that they benet rom proposed investments in the
egion.
ositive impacts on public policy resulting rom community
rganising have been seen in other areas. Kalinga communitieslayed a role in the ormation o a commission or the Banaue Rice
erraces, part o the Iugao Rice Terraces, a Philippines National
Cultural Treasure. KAMICYDI was also one o the community-based
rganisations that infuenced the introduction o regulations
ermitting indigenous groups to make ancestral domain claims.
n 1993, the Philippines Department o Environment and Natural
esources (DENR) issued Department Administrative Order No. 2
hat sought to recognize, identiy and delineate areas occupied

KAMICYDI also played a role in advocating or the passage o
Indigenous Peoples Rights Act o 1997, which laid the ounda

ancestral domains.

Sustainability and Replication
SUSTAINABILITYhe sustained success o KAMICYDIs work owes much to their
apacity building work with Kalinga communities, which has
ncorporated nancial and organisational management trainings
s well as instruction in sustainable agricultural techniques. These
gricultural and environmental practices have been rooted in
ndigenous and traditional knowledge systems, giving KAMICYDIs
lient communities a high level o ownership o their adoption.
o date, the organisation has acilitated 27 training sessions in
IPAT practices. Organisational and nancial management systems
ave been co-created with 72 development NGOs, 18 womens
rganizations and 36 Local Government Units (LGUs).
External support has also assisted the initiatives work, with tech
advice and nancial resources being provided by internat
NGOs. MPIWE has been supported by the Tribal Link Founda
while the Global Fund or Children has supported KAMICYDIs Y
Entrepreneurship Skills programme.
The continued success o sustainable agriculture in Ka
communities is threatened by various actors, however, inclu
the potential impacts o the Batong Buhay Gold Mines
the Chevron geothermal energy project. The key to resi
environmental degradation rom these projects is coordina
advocacy eorts through the networks o indigenous N
working in Kalinga, the Cordillera Region, and across the PhilippAmong these, KAPODON (the Kalinga-Apayao People-Orie
Development Organizations Network) works at the provincial l
bringing together 45 non-governmental and community-b
organisations and armers associations. This network has ocu
on building capacity around the issues o mining and geothe
energy exploration.
REPLICATION
The Kalinga Mission has achieved its success within Kalinga thro
a process o rapid replication o its model o sustainable agricu
practices. Beginning in one indigenous community (ili) in 1984
organisation had expanded to include a presence in 54 communby 2009. The ast pace and ease o replication o KAMICYDIs pac
o sustainable agricultural skills is due to their basis in tradit
methodologies and practices. As an indicator o the uptake rat
estimated 90% o the 174,000 community members across th
communities are actively employing SIPAT techniques.
Replication has been achieved through both armer-to-a
and community-to-community knowledge exchanges. A Far
Field School centre was also used to help train Kalinga arm

unding limitations have in some cases restricted the rate o
eplication rom community to community. Among the challenges
o knowledge exchange are traditional inter-tribal confict, limited
teracy, and a lack o inrastructure or storing knowledge or
ranser between generations. Problems o linguistic barriers havemeant that knowledge exchange has oten been highly expensive
nd time-consuming, requiring translation into dierent tribal
anguages. KAMICYDI has also recently begun seeking unds to
stablish a community knowledge centre that would act as a orum
or conducting training sessions and as a repository or storing data
nd inormation or use by armers.
PARTNERS
AMICYDI has benetted rom numerous partnerships with local,
egional, national, and international organisations, including
ighteen local government units, three NGO networks, two private
ector organisations, two national unding agencies, and ve
nternational organizations, all o which contributed to the success
the project.
