To achieve inclusive growth and sustainable socioeconomic development, the completion of agrarian reform must be prioritized as the government's antipoverty and social justice program. Completing the CARP by 2014 will be a historic milestone of this Plan. The country will finally put to rest the greatest property issue once property relations in agriculture are clarified.
The DAR, as the lead CARP implementing agency, shall adopt the following strategic directions in improving land tenure security of the landless farmers:
1. Complete LAD of private agricultural lands (PAL) in the CARPer balance:
a) Focus on large private agricultural lands;
b) Streamline processes and procedures by utilizing technology-enabled information tracking systems; and
c) Enhance the database of landholdings for ease in targeting and monitoring land acquisition and distribution.
2. Continue the distribution of public alienable and disposable lands;
3. Synergize the efforts of CIAs in all LAD processes; and
4. Establish and operationalize strategic partnership with CSOs, particularly on the coverage of large private agricultural lands.
