For forestlands, DENR reported that the ISF/CBFM program under CARP was
officially completed as early as December 2000. The ISF/CBFM program achieved
105 percent of the revised 1994 target scope. Table 12 shows that some 338,381
beneficiary-families had reportedly issued stewardship contracts (leases or
usufruct rights) to 1,335,999 hectares of agro-forestry area for an average of 3.9
hectares per household.
Table 12 below shows the breakdown of respective accomplishments in terms
of ISF and CBFM. It also shows that the reported DENR-CARP accomplishments
include 293,365 hectares that were covered even prior to the institution of CARP.
These are areas covered from 1983-1986 through the issuance of Certificates of
Community Forest Stewardship (CCFS) and CSC. It should be noted that the ISF
program was instituted as early as 1982.
