Harnessing local resources and ingenuity PBSP’s strategy for majority of its poverty alleviation and social development work is the Area Resource Management (ARM) which targets impact areas or contiguous clusters of several municipalities. The Foundation is implementing this strategy in 10 provinces nationwide. The ARM approach relies on organizing poor communities and helping them gain access to basic resources, infrastructure and social services, new skills and technologies, credit and markets. ARM Framework for Sustainable Development ARM is a sustainable development strategy focusing on optimal use of resources in an area, taking into consideration existing socio-economic, ecological and organizational systems. Socio-economic System Poverty groups will be assisted to gain control over resources and eventually be owners of anchor enterprises. Efforts shall focus on the development and optimum use of the coastal, lowland and upland resources. Ecological System The balanced use of, conservation, preservation and regeneration (as needed) of the natural resources shall be pursued. Thus, while the land and marine resources are harnessed for optimum production, they shall also be preserved so that succeeding generation may benefit from these resources. Organizational System Public-private development partnerships will be initiated to facilitate development work. NGOs and people’s organizations shall be strengthened and tapped to plan and implement development programs. The corporate sector, international and local donors shall be encouraged to actively participate through legislation and enforcement of policies and the delivery of basic services that will provide better opportunities for the poverty groups.
