Our Programs
A. National
Advocacy and Campaigns
This program focuses
on campaign advocacy on agrarian reform implementation, anti-GATT-WTO
policies, coconut levy recovery and coconut industry development. This
also entails networking and linkaging with other organizations and
initiatives that support the struggle of small coconut farmers and
farmworkers. This also coordinates various local advocacy and campaign
initiatives into a national campaign.
B. Capability
Building and Leadership Formation
This program support
the provincial chapters in equipping local leaders the skills and
knowledge in organizing, campaign, project development and management,
farm system development, paralegal formation and other modules that will
strengthen their capacities and capabilities. This also links-up with
other farmer-support NGOs that provide training services. Local
organizations also set-up their own training program which compliment
the national efforts.
C. Socio-Economic
Development

This is being
implemented now in the provinces of Aklan, Lanao del Norte and Misamis
Oriental. The focus of these projects is agricultural productivity
(sustainable agriculture and food security), coconut product development
and village-level coconut enterprises. Other provincial chapters are
undergoing social preparations for this program.
D.
Rural Democratization
This program is
being implemented at the local level through membership to the different
Local Special Bodies of the Local Government Units (barangay and
municipal) by KAMMPIL local chapters to influence ordinances and
development programs.
Local chapters are
also actively engaged in local elections to acquire seats in the
barangay and municipal Sangunian (Councils).
KAMMPIL chapters
also actively participated in the Party-List Election. In 1998 and in
KAMMPIL supported AKBAYAN (Citizens Action Party), however local
chapters are free to support other parties they deemed supportive to the
struggle of the small coconut farmers and farmworkers. In fact, last
2001 and 2004 party-list election some KAMMPIL chapters supported other
progressive parties, such as BAYAN MUNA, SANLAKAS and AMIN.
