Everything You Need to Know About the MIADP Initiative
What is MIADP?
MIADP stands for Mindanao Inclusive Agriculture Development Project. It is a special project of the Department of Agriculture, funded by the World Bank and designed to benefit the farmers/fisherfolk in the Ancestral Domains (ADs).
Why MIADP?
Indigenous peoples are among the most vulnerable in PH; most IPs are in subsistence agriculture. Yet, vast areas of land in ADs remain unused due to isolation and lack of support services. More than 50% of the IPs are found in Mindanao and poverty is more glaring in ancestral domains where most IPs live below the poverty line.
Mindanao contributes approximately 40% of the country’s food supply and uses about one-third of its land for agriculture. Despite being home to roughly 25% of the Philippine population, Mindanao accounts for 39% of the country’s poor. Eight of the ten poorest provinces in the Philippines are located in Mindanao, with the Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (BARMM) experiencing a poverty incidence more than double the national average.
How many ancestral domains are covered by MIADP?
MIADP will cover a total of 26 Ancestral Domains in its entire project life. Initially, the project identified 10 ADs.

What are the objectives of MIADP?
MIADP aims to sustainably increase agricultural productivity, resiliency, and access to markets and services of organized farmer and fisherfolk groups in selected ancestral domains and for selected value chains in Mindanao.
MIADP aims to achieve a 10% increase in incomes of 120,000 farmers/fisherfolk IPs/ICCs across 26 Ancestral Domains
What is the total project cost of MIADP?
The total project cost of MIADP is PhP 6.625 Billion. Of this amount, PhP 5.30 Billion will be coming from Loan Proceeds, PhP 863 Million will be the GOP counterpart and PhP 461 Million will be the LGU equity.
What are the criteria for selecting an ancestral domain for MIADP?
The criteria for the selection of 26 Ancestral Domains (AD) include;
- It must be a holder of Certificate of Ancestral Domains Title (CADT);
- It must have an NCIP-approved Ancestral Domains Sustainable Development Protection Plan (ADSDPP); and
- It must have at least one NCIP-endorsed Indigenous Peoples Organization (IPO) and duly registered with either CDA, SEC or DOLE.
In addition, the AD should not be classified by the Government as an active-conflict or protected area and the LGU confirmed their support to the Project through a resolution.
