Project Transform

Project TRANSFORM or “Transdisciplinary Approach for Resilience and Environmental Sustainability through Multi-Stakeholder Engagement” is an LGU-led multi-stakeholder partnership (MSP) that aims to engage local government units (LGUs) in environment and natural resources (ENR) governance– increasing the capacity on ENR management, climate and disaster resilience, and socio-economic development.

This project supports the new environment and natural resources resiliency framework of the Department of the Environment and Natural Resources (DENR)– sensing the urgency of developing long-term strategies toward the attainment of environmental sustainability and resilience through the active engagement of all sectors of society. 

This project serves as a model for national and local coherence and convergence– synergizing best practices on the enhancement of localized resilience and sustainability by fostering meaningful collaboration among government agencies, local communities, the private sector, and non-governmental organizations.
