Of total FS expenditures, nearly all (99.9% ) are for DA (Figure 9), which allocated 100% of its total clim ate budget request for FS (PHP 17.7 billion). DA’s climate expenditure in the FY16 GAA is divided between the two output areas under Food Security: (i) enhancing resilience of production and distribution systems (49%), and (ii) enhancing resilience of agriculture and fishing communities (51%). DA’s FS budget in 2016 mainly supports the foreign-assisted project Philippine Rural Development Program (PRDP), as it did in 2015. Additionally, compared to the 2015 climate budget, expenditures for agricultural R&D increased by more than 11 times in 2016. Figure 9: Food Security, 2016 clim ate budget by NGA Other agencies 0.02% DA 99.98% DA Other agencies Key PAPs in the 2015 budget that contribute to FS objectives DA’s climate expenditures are mainly concentrated in one PAP in the Office of the Secretary, which accounts for about 50% of DA’s climate expenditure in 2015: • The Philippine Rural Developm ent Program (DA, PHP 9.1 billion, compared to PHP 7.3 billion in FY 2015): The six-year foreign-assisted project is designed to establish the government platform for modern, climate-smart, and market-oriented agri-fishery sector. More than 70% of the total financing of PRDP will be utilized for funding infrastructure projects of LGUs, including farm-tomarket roads, bridges, communal irrigation, potable water systems, postharvest facilities, fish landing, green houses, solar driers, and slow stabilization works. These rural projects are selected based on an expanded vulnerability and suitability assessment (e-VSA). In addition, six PAPs totaling PHP 5.1 billion account for about 29% of the FS clim ate budget by DA in 2016. These include: (i) (ii) (iii) (iv) (v)   one locally-funded project for the repair, rehabilitation, and construction of farm-to-market roads (PHP 1.5 billion, up 21% from FY 2015); an integrated food security program called SOCSKSARGEN, focused on Mindanao (PHP 0.47 billion, up 47% from FY 2015); a set of three programs to support rice production and distribution focused on irrigation, R&D, and production support services (PHP 2.5 billion, up 44% from FY 2015); production support services for high value crops (PHP 0.34 billion, up 18% from FY 2015); and general agricultural research and development (PHP 0.37 billion), which increased more than 11 times 2015. 23
