Résumé : The Government of the Philippines, the Asian Development Bank (ADB) and AFD launched the Climate Change Action Program (CCAP) which is a program loan to address the climate-related challenges and to mainstream and implement national climate policies including the Nationally Determined Contribution and the Climate Adaptation Plan. In this framework AFD provides technical assistance for research and development to agriculture and fisheries sector (AF R&D). The technical assistance support for AF R&D policy reform agenda of the Policy Based Loan for CCAP was carried out through a partnership between CIRAD and UPLB. The Philippine government's R&D support for agriculture in general and R&D for climate-resilient agriculture crops, fisheries, and livestock and poultry have been minimal. AFD technical support on R&D policy reforms and for climate-smart technologies and practices on high-value crops and fisheries is designed to assist the Department of Agriculture of the Philippines in fulfilling its policy action and outcome commitments under Reform Area 2 (resilience to climate impacts enhanced) of the Subprogram 2 of the Philippine Climate Change Action Program (CCAP), co-financed by AFD and ADB. This report summarizing the collaborative efforts between the University of the Philippines Los Baños (UPLB) and the French Agricultural Research Centre for International Development (CIRAD) to deliver this technical support. This Technical Assistance had two components: Component 1: comprehensive policy review and appraisal of the agriculture R&D landscape in the Philippines. Component 2: Capacity building for Philippine agricultural research on specific themes. This Component should achieve the delivery of the PBL Subprogram 2's outcomes by 2024 of at least 5 R&D projects on developing new climate-resilient crop varieties and fish strains.
