Rationale & Objectives
National ARC Task Force (NARCTF) – Technical Secretariat
Rationale
✔ DAR adopts the agrarian reform community development (ARC) as
an operating strategy since 1993 which is an integrated and holistic
approach to the development of communities and the effective
delivery of necessary support services to ARBs.
✔ The current administration intensifies the development of ARCs
through the over-arching strategy of “Raise the ARCs”. This stands
for Responsive, Accelerated, Integrated, Sustainable Equitable
Delivery of Support Services in ARCs/ARAs with main
components .
NARCTF – Technical Secretariat Rationale and Objectives 13
Rationale
✔ As of December 2021, we have launched a total of 2,244 ARCs and
187 ARC clusters nationwide which are at varying development
status.
✔ For CY2022, a total of 10 ARCs/ARCCs are targeted to be
launched/confirmed. Likewise, 7 ARCs/Clusters which are backlogs
from 2021 Targets are also expected to be deliberated/confirmed by
the NARCTF.
✔ Aligned with one of the 2022 Operational Directives of the SSO, and
as approved in the 2022 NEP, a total of 135 ARCs/ARCCs are targeted
to be updated by all regions, except Regions 4A, 4B, 8, 9, 11 and 13.
NARCTF – Technical Secretariat Rationale and Objectives 14

MC 14, Series of 1999: Guidelines on the Selection and Launching of
ARCs). Thereby, facilitating the approval/confirmation of the
