NOW THEREFORE, for and in consideration of the foregoing premises, the DA and the
PG/MG/CG (name of LGU) hereby agree as follows:

Section 1. Objectives. The objectives of the Memorandum of Agreement are:

1.1 To establish the general engagement by and between the parties under PRDP and/or
institutionalize overall partnership between the DA and the PG/MG/CG (name of LGU) in the
integrated delivery of devolved agriculture and fishery services and in improving LGU
resource management, including governance systems and mechanism;

1.2 To provide for the overall pre-implementation or preliminary/preparatory technical support

and coordination interventions by the DA, which are meant to capacitate the PG/MG/CG
(name of LGU) to fulfill pertinent conditions or requirements for the approval of its proposed
Sub-Projects and, if ever, to enable them to effectively and efficiently implement the same;
and to prescribe the terms and conditions including the respective roles and responsibilities
of the parties relative to said interventions.

1.3 To lay down the most fundamental roles and responsibilities of the DA, on the one hand, and
the partner PG/MG/CG (name of LGU), on the other, in the event that proposed Sub-projects
are approved for implementation.

In view of the above objectives, this MOA shall not be construed as an assurance of the approval of
the Sub-Project Proposals as the same shall be subject to the process of evaluation, applying the
rules and procedures governing project and partner eligibility and the weight or merit of the
proposed project applying the criteria for prioritization and approval, among others, as
established under the PRDP Operations Manuals.

2
Section 2. Scope of Agreement. -- This Agreement covers the overall terms of partnership
between the DA as the executing agency of the PRDP and the PG/MG/CG (name of LGU) under
Project components, as described below, and the initial interventions of the DA for the PG/MG/CG
(name of LGU) in line with the intended implementation of pertinent Sub-Projects under said
components:

a. Component 1: Local and National Level Planning

Sub-component 1.2 (Supporting AFMP Implementation). -- This covers the provision of fund
technical assistance, studies, trainings, workshops and related activities that will help in the
design of coordinated systems of technical support for the value chains and subprojects
prioritized in the Provincial Commodity Investment Plans (PCIPs). The key intermediate
results would be the approved program agreements for PCIP technical support between the
DA-RFOs and Project Support Offices (PSOs) and/or departmental technical agencies, as well
as the evaluation of best practices for wider application on approaches for providing
integrated technical support to small-scale producers following the commodity value-chain
approach.

b. Component 2: Infrastructure Development

Sub Component 2.1 [Value Chain Infrastructure Support (Civil Works)] --This relates to the
carrying out of specific Sub-projects to support infrastructure development by participating
LGUs in commodity value chains. Support would be provided for a flexible menu of
investments including, among others, farm-to-market roads, bridges, tire tracks, communal
irrigation, potable water systems, post-harvest facilities, production facilities, fish landing,
fish sanctuaries, tram lines, cold storage facilities, trading posts, green houses, solar driers,
watch towers, nurseries and slope stabilization works. Cost sharing between the DA and the
concerned LGU would be on a 90:10 basis.

c. Component 3: Enterprise Development

c.1. Sub-Component 3.1: Rural Agri-fishery Enterprise and Productivity Enhancement

(Enterprise Development)

This pertains to: (a) Carrying out of specific Sub-projects to support vertical and horizontal
clustering, joint business planning and investments by producer groups/ enterprises
operating within priority commodity value chains; (b) Promotion of biodiversity conservation
and coastal resource co-management arrangements as well as carrying out sustainable
income-generating livelihood activities.

Funding would be shared by the DA and LGUs (LGUs) on 80:20 basis. LGUs would assist
proponent groups through capital investments, facilities, inputs and technical assistance, with
proponent groups contributing an amount equal to at least 20% (in cash or in kind) of the
incremental enterprise cost. The lead proponent, which may be an organized producer group
or a small-scale or medium-scale processor, would be responsible for procurement and
Operations and Maintenance of the approved investments.

The criteria for lead proponent selection would be: (a) acceptability to proponent group
members; (b) broad network within the commodity sector; (c) access to resources; and (d) a
proven track record in managing an organization.

The Global Environment Facility (GEF) support will be catalytic in terms of ensuring that
biodiversity conservation and coastal resources co-management arrangements are included
in the determination of interventions needed to support commodity value chains. The types of
activities supported at each GEF target site will be adaptable based on regional and local
needs. Specific activities will be selected at the site level based on the information generated
3
 by the Value Chain Analysis (VCA), Participatory Resource Assessment-Resource and Social
Assessment (PRA-RSA), and GEF Tracking Tools.

c.2. Sub Component 3.2: Technology and Information for Enterprise and Market
Development (Enterprise Support Fund)

This covers the provision of technical assistance to producers to increase their productivity
and incomes through improved and sustainable technological, operational and market
knowledge and facilitation of market linkages.

This would complement the enterprise Sub-project development under Component 3.1
through technical assistance including support to GEF-funded activities. A particular focus
would be on facilitating vertical integration and trade facilitation. New and sustainable
technologies and approaches would be introduced in collaboration with other government
agencies, the International Rice Research Institute (IRRI) and State Universities and Colleges
(SUCs) or private organizations (including private colleges/ universities). Technical
assistance requirements would be determined as part of the annual PCIP process and would
be provided by DA agencies or contracted by the Province with private service providers
based on available expertise.

Coordination Offices (RPCOs) in its Regional Field Offices (RFOs), the Project Support Offices
