Mountains of the world cover about one-fifth of the land surface, are home to one-tenth of the world's population, and provide livelihood to some of the poorest communities in the world. Mountain lakes and streams are a source of freshwater for countless riparian human communities, support industries, provide water for irrigation and hydropower electricity production and for fish.

The main purpose of this policy brief is to share the experience and lessons learned in adopting the Participatory Area Planning approach to strengthen natural resource institutions and empower local agricultural communities in the Philippines and in other countries of the region.
