Various changes happened in the legal framework of the settlement affecting its extent of coverage. The settlement now covers 16 barangays of Columbio municipality with a total land area of 46,000 hectares. The MinSAAD Project covers Sultan Kudarat Resettlement Project No. 1-Phase 1, hence, this Settlement Development Plan (SDP) is prepared based on the goals, objectives and components of the Project. This SDP covers only development components which are eligible for MinSAAD financing in compliance with MinSAAD general rule that project sub-projects go through approval processes. Profile of plan area and beneficiaries Plan area.Total area planted to agricultural crops is 10,307.00 hectares. Agriculture remains the main industry of the settlement. Crops produced are banana, mango, corn, rice, coconut, rubber, coffee, and palm oil. Major crops are presented in Table 1 below with land areas. Table 1. Major crops Major Crops No. of Hectares Rice 7,387.82 Corn 4,442.00 Coconut 1,119.25 Palm oil 730 Banana 365 Opportunities and constraintspresent in the area are shown in Table 2 below. Table 2. Opportunities & constraints Opportunities Constraints a. Plain fertile soil with and without irrigationa. Low farm productivity are best for rice production b. Farmers’ practice of swidden agriculture b. Undulating, sloping to hilly are best suitedc. Observance of mono-cropping system for agro-forestry d. Burning of wood for production of charcoal c. Typhoon free area e. Limited credit facilities d. Rivers, creeks, streams and springs ensuref. Poor road network sufficient supply of water for household and agricultural purposes e. High demand for oil augurs well for the settlement’s oil palm industry f. Presence of mineral deposits like gold and copper Beneficiaries. Total population in the settlement’s 16 barangays is 21,698 where 11,257 (52%) are males and 10,441 (48%) are females. Maguindanaoans dominated the population with 6,572 or 30%, B’laans are 4,931 or 23%, followed by Hiligaynons(4,364),Ilocanos(4,181), and other tribes. The average landholding per household is estimated at 1.5 hectare. And, on poverty incidence, it is recorded at 61% with 1,971 households enrolled in the Conditional Cash Transfer program of the government. Development objectives and strategic interventions Development objectives.The plan aims to address poverty and food security. It will be attained through (a) increasing household income of the farmers and their organizations; and (b) having the beneficiaries engaged in more profitable income generating activities. Attaining those objectives requires institutional capacity, hence, the following are to be conducted: a. Capacity building of organizations/institutions tasked with service delivery; b. Increasing competitiveness and observing sustainable agriculture; c. Improving water supply facilities in underserved areas; and d. Enhance environmental conditions in the project areas. Approach and strategies.Sustainable development approach shall be undertaken. Capacity building on non-farm income generating activities for alternative livelihood will be provided to the ARBs in coordination with TESDA or with other government agencies. Skills enhancement on the new production system in agriculture, credit, marketing extension coordinated with DA, the delivery of basic social services coordinated with DSWD, DOH, other concerned agencies, information campaign on reforestation and forestry regulation for the protection and conservation of watershed areas coordinated with DENR will also be provided. In addition, mobilization of the community, LGU of Columbio, MinSAAD and other available resources through coordinated, unified and partnership planning in the development of project will be adopted.

Institutional development Initiatives under this component are in support to AAAD and infrastructure development. The component undertakes activities mainly aimed at strengthening the capacity of community organizations and partner institutions, such as the LGUs. For the community organizations or ARBOs, in particular, the component seeks to make them agri- enterprising cooperatives or associations, operating even after project assistance. For this component, a budget of Php8 million is proposed. Implementation arrangement Following the design of the MinSAAD implementation arrangement, the settlement will organize, per municipality, a Settlement Management Team (SMT) which is directly under the supervision of the Provincial Project Management Office (PPMO) and headed by the Provincial Agrarian Reform Officer (PARO) acting as the MinSAAD Provincial Project Manager. The SMT, whose members come from LGU offices, relevant national agencies, barangay officials, and community groups, is headed by the Municipal Agrarian Reform Officer (MARO).
