As a banner program of the Inter-Agency Task Force on Zero Hunger, (EPAHP) program supports the government’s efforts to reduce hunger and poverty through a whole-of-nation approach. This initiative fosters collaboration among various national government agencies (NGAs), local government units (LGUs), and community-based organizations (CBOs). EPAHP aims to create a more effective and sustainable response to hunger and poverty by providing markets to agri-fishery livelihood organizations and the provision of technical assistance, training, credit assistance, and community development programs to CBOs by the support agencies of the EPAHP Regional Covergence Team.
