The German Federal Ministry for Environment, Nature Conservation and Nuclear Safety (BMU), through its International Climate Initiative (IKI), commissioned GIZ to support the Philippines in its climate change adaptation, coastal and marine protection and biodiversity conservation efforts.

The immediate objective of this project is to demonstrate how Local Government Units (LGUs), with enhanced capacities, and working together with local and national partners, can plan and manage economic activities and growth in ways that meet landscape-level biodiversity conservation and sustainable use objectives in critical eco-regions. 

The Coral Triangle Initiative on Coral Reefs, Fisheries, and Food Security (CTI-CFF) is a multilateral partnership of six countries working together to sustain extraordinary marine and coastal resources by addressing crucial issues such as food security, climate change and marine biodiversity. 

This GEF project aims to enhance the capacity of four pilot countries (Cambodia, Indonesia, Philippines, Vietnam) to manage IAS, particularly in forest ecosystems, by strengthening existing national frameworks for the prevention and management of IAS. 

The Project aims to expand and strengthen the terrestrial protected area (PA) system in the Philippines by developing new PA models and building capacity for effective management of the system. 

The ASEAN Peatland Forests Project (APFP) aims to demonstrate, implement and scale up the sustainable management and rehabilitation of peatland forests in Southeast Asia. 

The Protected Area Management Enhancement (PAME) Project supports the Philippine Government in its effort to reduce the threats in at least 60 existing and highly diverse Protected Areas (PAs) and Key Biodiversity Areas (KBAs), both terrestrial and marine. Additional 100 new conservation areas will be established under innovative conservation management systems.

The GEF Small Grants Programme in the Philippines (GEF SGP) started in 1992 as one of thirty-three pilot countries. The Association of Foundations coordinated and managed the pilot phase (1992-1995) as host nongovernmental organization (NGO). At the start of Operational Phase 1 in 1996, the Programme was moved from its host NGO to the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP).
