Abstract

Introduced in 2007, the Mindanao Rural Development Program Adaptable Program Loan 2-Community Fund for Agricultural Development (MRDP APL2 - CFAD) was implemented in the 12 municipalities of Bukidnon to give the disadvantaged and vulnerable sectors, including women, the opportunities for increased income from agriculture and fishery production, including allied value-adding activities using appropriate and sustainable technologies. Of the 12 municipalities in Bukidnon, Damulog and Don Carlos had the most number of sub-projects on crops particularly corn with the most number of women farmers engaged in corn production. Generally, this study was conducted to determine the effectiveness of the MRDP APL2-CFAD in improving income and achieving food security among the Bukidnon women. Specifically, this study aimed to describe the personal, socio-economic and psychological profiles of the women farmers and the implementers of the MRDP APL2 CFAD in Bukidnon; to evaluate the factors supportive of and related to the implementation of the MRDP-CFAD program; to determine the level of effectiveness of the MRDP APL2- CFAD in increasing income and attaining food security; to assess the degree of influence of personal, socio-economic, psychological, supportive and MRDP CFAD-related factors on the effectiveness of MRDP APL2 CFAD; and to identify the problems encountered by the women farmers and program implementers during program implementation
