Implementation Approach

Support Palawan works through practical, community-based support designed to create measurable impact at the household level.

Implementation activities are carried out through coordination with local contacts and community-level partners in Puerto Princesa and Roxas.

Project Leadership and Field Coordination

Support Palawan is founded and coordinated by Anders Nielsen, who leads project planning and field-level implementation in Palawan. The initiative builds on direct engagement with local communities before, during, and after the COVID period, as well as established relationships with community contacts across Puerto Princesa and Roxas.

Field activities include coordination with local suppliers, barangay-level contacts, and community members to identify priority households and deliver practical livelihood starter support such as poultry, livestock, planting materials, food assistance, education support, and essential household supplies.

Implementation progress is documented through selected photos, short video material, and activity summaries that support monitoring and partner reporting.

Implementation Funding Requirements

Support Palawan is seeking implementation partners in the range of USD 4,000–25,000, depending on implementation scale and number of households supported.

A field-based implementation phase of approximately 4–5 weeks typically requires funding in the range of USD 15,000–25,000, depending on the number of households supported and implementation scope.

If the full funding level required for a field-based implementation visit is not reached, support activities can instead be carried out through locally coordinated delivery together with trusted community contacts in Roxas and Puerto Princesa.

Example Budget Structure

Example Household Support Activities

Support Palawan builds on earlier household-level assistance implemented together with local community contacts in Palawan. These practical interventions informed the current implementation model and demonstrate feasibility at community level.

Household Livelihood Support

One vulnerable household received two goats, three chickens, and one rooster to support egg production and strengthen food security. Additional assistance included access to a small egg incubation machine.

Poultry Equipment Support

A household egg incubation machine was provided to a family with limited income opportunities to support poultry-based livelihood activities and small-scale chick production.

Post-COVID Recovery Support

Livelihood recovery support included providing a pig to a vulnerable household, contributing to food security and future small-scale income development.

Livestock-Based Support

Two female goats were provided to a household to support long-term herd growth and sustainable income potential.

Single Mother and Infant Support

Essential food supplies and baby care products helped stabilize daily living conditions during a period of financial instability.

COVID Household Support

Emergency household assistance included food purchases and essential household supplies for families affected by reduced income opportunities.

Youth Education Support

School material assistance helped students from low-income households maintain school attendance during periods of unstable family income.

Youth Sports Support

Support for a student included baseball shoes, enabling continued participation in school-related sports activities.

Implementation Locations

Household selection takes place through community referrals, barangay-level contacts, and coordination with local partners in Puerto Princesa and Roxas.
