INTRODUCTION The Central Visayas Regional Project (CVRP-I) is a region-based rural development effort aimed at improving both the resource base and the living standards of small-scale upland farmers, nearshore fishermen and marginal forest dwellers through a community-based resource management. Adapting to the emerging demands of participatory development and changes in the Philippine administrative structure, it has focused on community-based implementation of projects and a devolution from region to local government units for project management (External Review, 1988). It has also recently expanded into additional sites in the region. CVRP-I has three major components: upland agriculture, nearshore fisheries and social forestry. Each of these components introduced various interventions depending on the nature of the resource involved and the kind of intervention deemed necessary to arrest resource degradation and help the target beneficiaries improve their level of living. CVRP-I also adopted several approaches for effective project implementation and to facilitate delivery of necessary assistance to the project beneficiaries. These include community or participatory/bottom-up resource management, integration
