UPV Institutional Repository. https://hdl.handle.net/20.500.14583/624https://hdl.handle.net/20.500.14583/624The study tries to examine the role of the Local Government Units (LGUs) and Non-Government Organizations (NGOs) in the implementation of Philippine forest policy in Northwest Panay Peninsula Low-elevated Forest. The municipal government of Pandan, Antique collaborates with the Department of Environment and Natural Resources to introduce community-based forest management. The NGOs on the other hand help in the sourcing of funds for forest conservation projects and of linking local communities with the market. The present study suggests that local government units, NGOs, and other external agents should have more clearly defined rules in forest resource management.vi, 84 p.RolesLocal governmentNGONon-government organizationManagementForestryLG 993.5 2002 E2 B39Thesisforestryrolelocal governmentnon-governmental organizationsmanagementSDG 15 - Life on landSDG 11 - Sustainable cities and communitiesSDG 13 - Climate action
