The facilities and components of each organic agriculture livelihood project, as well as its scales of operation and phases of development, shall be based on the organic agricultural commodities of the proponent.
The OALP aims to increase the supply of organic produce and products in the country through the provision of interventions that will address the problems and gaps of organic farmers. The OALP approval process flow features a two-level approval approach: (1) Regional level for proposals amounting to five million pesos or below (≤PhP 5M); and (2) the National Organic Agriculture Board (NOAB) level for proposals exceeding five million pesos (>PhP 5M). Both levels will go through the submission, screening, review, evaluation and endorsement of the proposal by the Regional Screening Committee to the Regional Executive Director (RED). While the project evaluation and approval process in the Regional level ends with the approval of the RED, proposals in the National level will proceed with the endorsement and presentation to the NOAB for final approval.
