The Climate Change Commission (CCC) on Wednesday called for the submission of a climate change project proposal for local government units (LGUs).
This was to give them an opportunity to access the People's Survival Fund (PSF), which was created by Republic Act 10174 as an annual fund to implement climate change adaptation projects.
"Local government units (LGUs) can now submit project proposals to access the People's Survival Fund (PSF) — a grant facility for LGUs to implement local climate change adaptation initiatives," CCC's Vice Chair and Executive Director Robert Borje said in a social media post.
LGUs are required to complete and submit the following until March 18, 2023:
- Letter of Intent
- Accomplished Project Proposal Template
- Adaptation references such as Climate Risk and Vulnerability Assessments, CCA-DRR-Enhanced Comprehensive Land Use/ Development Plans, and Local Climate Change Action Plan
- The Annual Investment Plan
The call for proposals was issued by the Department of Finance (DOF) as the chair of the PSF board.
Members of the board consist of the Climate Change Commission PH, the Department of Budget and Management, the National Economic and Development Authority, the Department of the Interior and Local Government, the Philippine Commission on Women, and sectoral representatives.
