EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

The Community-Based Forest Management Program ( CBFMP ) revolutionized forest development and rehabilitation efforts of the government when it was institutionalized in 1995 by virtue of Executive Order No. 263.

Before the adoption of the CBFM approach, the sole motivating factor of contract reforestation awardees was primarily financial gains. With the implementation of the Forestry Sector Project (FSP) using CBFM as its main strategy to rehabilitate the mangrove ecosystem, it empowered beneficiary communities economically, socially, technically and politically while transforming them into environmentally responsible managers. The tenurial right to develop subproject sites alongside the various inputs from the Subproject deepened their commitment to collaborate with other stakeholders in the implementation of these subprojects.

The Palompon Mangrove Rehabilitation Subproject site is located in the municipality of Palompon, province of Leyte within Barangays Cruz, Plaridel, Baguinbin, Cangcosme, Dulhugan, Cantoha-on and Mazawalo. The Subproject’s implementation has been geared towards the restoration of the area into its former state when its mangrove forest used to be a bird sanctuary and its fishery resources abundant. Indiscriminate cutting of the forest however led to the degradation of the area along with the dwindling of its fishery resources.

Successful establishment of the targeted 1, 396.30 hectares of plantation came after direct planting of Bakauan species was employed over nursery-raised seedlings and also after some destructive fishing practices of non-members were checked through the assistance of the local government unit and the barangay council, raising the survival rate by 85.85%.

The Subproject paved the way for the improvement of the communities’ socio-economic status especially those dependent on the fishery resources of the mangrove forests for their livelihood. Involvement of not only the People’s Organization members but non-members as well in both CSD activities and in infrastructure projects generated employment equivalent to 163,232 man days. Several livelihood projects started by the PO BAKHAW enhanced these opportunities even more.

An Institutional and Project Benefit Assessment conducted in the final year of the project revealed a gradual increase in their annual household income from PHP64, 764.00 to PHP73, 510.00 or a raise of 14%. Improvement in earning capacity enabled 55% of the residents to improve their houses; 20% to purchase appliances and furniture; 10% to send their children to school; 5% to acquire fishing gears while 10% used the money for other purposes.

Meanwhile, the ability to earn more will be sustained because of the formal linkages established with relevant institutions such as the DTI, for the marketing and promotions of products and approval of feasibility studies; the BFAR, for the conduct of trainings and provision of technical assistance on livelihood projects and the LGU-Palompon, for the approval of business permits, among others.

On the other hand, the rehabilitation of the road provided the community mobility and ease in the transport of farm and marine products that is significant in the improvement of the residents’ living condition.

B.2 Detailed statement of reasons (with background)

Others

On Infrastructure Component (added component of the FSP)

An intensive review and assessment of the status of each subproject was conducted by the NFDO through the Technical Assistant team in CY 2000. Results of the assessment justified the inclusion of the Infrastructure Support Project in the FSP to complement the livelihood development of the People’s Organization. One project is the rehabilitation of the road condition that used to hamper accessibility and transport of farm products to the market.

On SUSIMO Creation (Project Management Office Initiative)

Results of the assessment likewise compelled NFDO to institute a system that would provide effective and efficient management of the Subproject on the ground. Creation of the Subproject Site Management Office (SUSIMO) manned by the DENR permanent personnel was deemed to be the proper approach, hence, the issuance of Department Administrative Order (DAO) No. 2000- 65 that mandated the regional offices/field offices to install the SUSIMO for each subproject site. Simultaneous with this was the capability building of SUSIMO staff through the provision of technical, financial and management trainings. Each SUSIMO was likewise provided its own building and equipment.

5 Please refer to Table 5 for the livelihood project being implemented by the POs

C.3. Present situation and outlook for the future

Item Description 1. The Community The PO (BAKHAW, Inc.) was formally organized and registered under Securities and Exchange Commission. A CBFMA has been issued to the PO as a means to secure their stay on the project site for a period of 25 yrs. During the three years of project implementation, members have undergone various technical, managerial and leadership trainings in all aspects of project operations (e g. CSD, Livelihood, etc.), essential for the sustainable management of the CBFMA area by the PO. With this, the PO can continuously manage and supervise the project as well as their own livelihood projects even without the financial support from the government.

2. Area Development From a mere 92. 0 ha. natural mangrove forest before the implementation of the project, the mangrove forest now occupies a total of 1,488.00 has. after the 1,396.30 has. was rehabilitated. In the next 10 years, it is expected that spawning of marine resources will be developed, therefore, abundant supply of marine products such as fishes, shells, crabs will be increased.

11 3. Socio Economic Benefit The implementation of the CSD raised the members’ annual household income from PHP 64,764.00 to PHP 73,510.00 per year or 14% increase in income. The PO has also invested P1, 884,806.85 in nine livelihood projects that have so far yielded a total net income of P361,236.32 as of year 2003. For the same year, the PO posted a net revenue of PHP 3,154,915.00 which can be used again to finance other livelihood projects.

4. Eco-Tourism The existence of 1,396.30 ha. of man- made mangrove plantation plus a 92-ha. 2nd growth mangrove forest is a potential eco-tourism destination in Palompon, Leyte. The PO will earn additional income from entrance fees of visitors should this materialize. This will also help sustain LGU support to the PO in terms of protecting the existing mangrove plantation.

5.. Infrastructure The Subproject caused the rehabilitation of the farm-to- market road to support the livelihood projects of the PO. This facilitates transport of farm products to market and provides mobility to members of the communities as well.

The newly-completed farm-to-market road and concrete pathway have also paved the way for other means of transport to serve the coastal barangays in bringing their produce to the market. Public conveyance (motorcycle, PUJs) are now available in the barangays at regular schedules. This development assures sustainability of livelihood income for both direct and indirect beneficiaries of the Subproject.

6. LGU Support With the strong support from the LGU as manifested by the agreement it has

12 forged with the DENR, it is expected that the PO can sustain Subproject management. LGU support assures maintenance of the rehabilitated road and concrete pathway for long term benefit for the communities.

Please state:

1.1 Reasons for the change N.A. 1.2 Problems arising, counter measures adopted and results:

On Comprehensive Site Development (CSD)

13 1. Low survival rate of 100 ha. seaward plantation during initial CSD implementation.

Some 100 ha. of mangrove plantation located along the seaward portion of the CSD area was established by the PO with the assistance of the SUSIMO using nursery-raised seedlings. However due to its location, the mortality rate of the plantation was observed to be high because the root system of the seedlings were adversely affected by wave action.

Because of the alarming result, the PO through the SUSIMO requested for change of planting scheme using direct planting of bakauan species instead of nursery-raised seedlings. With the approval of the request by the DENR Region 8 RED, the plantation showed good result. The inspection conducted by the DENR showed that the BAKHAW, Inc. had an average survival rate of 83%.

2. Destruction of established plantation during fishing by non PO members using “baling” and “sud-sud” specially during high tide.

The PO, SUSIMO and AO Staff coordinated with the LGU of Palompon as well as the concerned barangay councils and facilitated the following activities:

a. Intensified conduct of IEC among barangays residents through meetings, community assemblies and dialogues. b. Conducted film showing that focused on the various benefits from mangrove forests and possible effects caused by mangrove forest destruction, on the other hand. c. Project orientation, dissemination of information focused on the zoning of CSD areas (includes location of boat ways, canals, areas not included to planting and areas set aside for fishing activities of the fishermen, shell gatherers, etc.) d. Installation of bill boards and sign boards inside CBFMA areas to indicate areas off limits to fishing and areas set aside for the same, and location and direction of the boat ways. e. Strengthening of tie-ups with the LGU Palompon through the Bantay Dagat Group for the strict implementation of existing laws pertinent to illegal fishing.

Through these strategies, damage was gradually minimized. At present, replanting, maintenance and protection activities of the established plantation are continuously undertaken by the PO in coordination with the SUSIMO staff. Average survival rate of the plantation establishment is 85.85%.

B.1. In case of delay or early completion, please choose the reason(s) from the following list and check.

 Change in scope/dimensions  Natural disaster/Bad weather (e.g. earthquake, typhoon, etc.)  Shortage of funds/Fluctuation of the exchange rate  Problems in procurement  Inflation  Unusual circumstances beyond the control of the Executing Agency  Structural and organizational problems of the agencies concerned (e.g. lack of staff, inadequate coordination with other agencies, etc.)  Legislative matters Unrealistic initial plan/Technical problems  Performance of contractor/supplier  Performance of consultant  Others

B.2. Reasons and background for delay or early completion

Change in Scope and Dimensions

A. Comprehensive Site Development (CSD)

The early completion of the Subproject was attributed to the FSP termination in June 2003. With this, the Subproject was implemented for only two years and seven months.

B. Monitoring and Evaluation

The completion of the two M & E contracts on Physical and Institutional and Project Benefit Assessment was delayed due to the failure of the contractors during the panel presentation to provide some missing information. Both the M & E contractors were advised to review and revalidate their data/findings in the Subproject site.

C. Infrastructure

The completion of the infrastructure project was delayed due to the request of the PO to include three (3) variations from the original design such as: 1) As-staked, 2) Dike masonry 3) Dike

16 masonry Since these items have not been included in the original plan, it resulted to an increase in the bill of materials.

B. Remedial Action Taken in Each Case of Delay

Comprehensive Site Development (CSD)

The DENR initiated the revision/amendment of the WFP and the corresponding contract of the PO. All the remaining activities of the Subproject implementation were programmed until FSP termination in June 2003. The PO did fast tracked all CSD activities without sacrificing quality of outputs. All CSD accomplishments were properly evaluated by the DENR evaluating team and found out to be in accordance with DENR policies.

Monitoring and Evaluation (M & E)

The M & E contractor for Physical and Institutional Benefit Assessment considered the recommendation given by the panel to review and revalidate their data/findings and incorporate all the missing information in the final report. Both the M & E contractors requested for four (4) months extension of their contract taking into consideration the comments and suggestions during the M & E report deliberation. The Regional Office approved the requests.

Infrastructure Component

The PO coursed the request for the inclusion of the three variations order through the DENR Region 8 technical working committee. The request was forwarded to the FSP-TA for evaluation. The request was approved after the conduct of actual assessment and evaluation by the DENR Central Office TA on infrastructure. Likewise, the request of A & C Enterprises for an extension of 65 days was approved by the regional office.

B.1. If there is any difference between Column 2 and Column 3 in Paragraph a, please choose the reason(s) from the following list and check.

 Increase in reconstruction cost arising from natural disaster/unreasonble weather (e.q. earthquake, typhoon, etc.)  Increase or decrease arising from a change in construction period  Increase or decrease arising from inflation  Increase or decrease arising from fluctuation in the exchange rate  Increase or decrease arising from a change in the scope/work volume of the Subproject  Decrease arising from keen competition in tender  Unusual circumstances beyond the control of the Executing Agency  Unrealistic cost estimates/Technical problems  Others (activity was accomplished using other fund source)

B.2. Description of the detailed reason(s) and background

18 On Infrastructure Component:

The increase in the actual cost of the infrastructure projects was attributed to the increase in the bill of materials, inclusion and approval of the three (3) variations of the infrastructure plan.

Others – (activity was accomplished using other fund source)

The estimated amount of P558,520.00 was allocated for the conduct of survey, mapping and appraisal of the Subproject. However, the activity was accomplished using funds from Asian Development Bank (ADB), hence, disbursement was not reflected in the above table.

The projected amount was not included in the total original estimated cost per component and per year.

C. Action taken in Case of Cost Overrun and Results:

Additional amount of P454,585.77 has been obligated and a new contract was awarded to the A & C Enterprises amounting to P5,430,121.50.

Overall Performance

The Assisting Organization (EDCAI)

The overall performance of the AO was satisfactory inasmuch as they accomplished all the activities within the contract period (Phase I & II). Although, there was some delay in the packaging of the documentation report, the actual conduct of CO activities were undertaken per work plan schedule.

The PO (BAKHAW, Inc.)

The PO was able to accomplish all the CSD targets prior to the termination of the three-year (3) CSD contract, which resulted to the full utilization (billing) of CSD fund. The survival rate of the established plantation based on the M&E result was 85.85%. The PO was able to establish nine (9) livelihood projects that are profitable business ventures. Generally, BAKHAW, Inc. delivered an outstanding performance since all the elements for sustainability (enhanced administrative & technical capabilities, capitalization, on-going livelihood project, etc.) have been effectively institutionalized within the organization.

M&E Contractors (TPEC-MPDAI & VIRUE, Inc.)

The performance of the two (2) M&E contractors was satisfactory. Activities conducted by the contractors were all in accordance with the schedule. After panel presentation of the M & E report, the NGO conducted minor revision/revalidation of their evaluation activities for the proper rectification of the M & E report.

20 Infrastructure contractor (A&C Enterprise)

The contractor performance was very satisfactory because all the activities were accomplished based on the specifications of the infrastructure plan before the termination of FSP funding. The contractor likewise had the required manpower and equipment The completed activities included the three variations of the infrastructure plan.

Contract Administration and Compliance with Contracts

The Assisting Organization (EDCAI)

The assisting organization (AO) was able to undertake all the contracted activities (Phase I & Phase II) as stipulated in the CO work and financial plan. However, the AO had to request for a one (1) month extension of Phase I to enable them to finish the preparation/finalization and packaging of documentations. The total contracted cost for CO covering Phase I & II (Php2,246,545.26) was billed by EDCAI as per schedule.

The PO (BAKHAW, Inc.)

All the CSD targets were accomplished by BAKHAW, Inc. five (5) months earlier than the scheduled contract termination. The three- year contract was originally scheduled from December 2000 to December 2003, but CSD activities were completed as early as July 2003

M&E Contractors (TPEC-MPDAI & VIRTUE, Inc.)

The M&E for physical and Institutional & Project Benefit Assessment was conducted from December 2002 to February 2003 by TPEC-MPDAI and VIRTUE, Inc, respectively to cover one pass evaluation. Although, both contractors started its activities on December 2002, the final M&E reports were completed in June 2003, four months (4) behind the target completion schedule.

Infrastructure Contractor

The contract on infrastructure project awarded to A&C Enterprises was from December 8, 2002 to June 19, 2003. Actual implementation started on the scheduled date but implementation

21 was extended for 65 days due to the approved variations. All targets and specifications for infrastructure were completed and billed by the contractor in compliance with the FSP fund termination schedule.

Coordinating Ability

The Assisting Organization (EDCAI)

The AO showed significant performance in terms of coordinating abilities and establishing formal linkages with relevant institutions which are very important for the PO to sustain management of the project. Tie-ups were formalized through approved MOA between PO and the concerned institutions. These tie-ups include DTI, for the marketing and promotions of products and approval of feasibility studies; BFAR, for the conduct of trainings and provision of technical assistance on livelihood projects(sea weed production); LGU-Palompon, for the approval of business permits, provision of technical and administrative support; Pryce Gas Company, for the supply of LPG & administrative support of the trading system; PACCI; for credit services; ATI-LSU, for the training and cooperative management; Maritime Police, for the permits of motorboat for hire, and the concerned barangay councils of the beneficiary community. The services provided by these institutions had contributed to the success of the PO.

The AO has the ability to closely coordinate with DENR (SUSIMO, CENRO, PENRO, Regional Office) prior to the execution of CO activities, hence quality CO activities were achieved and led to the completion of all contracted CO activities.

The PO (BAKHAW, Inc.)

The linkage established by the AO with the different institutions was continued by the PO even after the exit of the AO from the project site. The president and the committee in charge of the PO coordinated closely with these institutions, thereby enjoying the needed services (trainings, technical assistance, etc.) of the Project. They have also adopted a system of consulting and seeking approval of the Board of Directors (BOD) prior to the execution of planned activities. Resolution from the BOD is a requirement before any planned activity can be implemented. Close

22 coordination with the DENR specially with the SUSIMO was also adopted by the PO.

M&E Contractors (TPEC-MPDAI & VIRTUE, Inc.)

The contractors have the ability to coordinate with the concerned parties prior to actual M & E implementation. They coordinated closely with the PO and SUSIMO specially on the process of conducting the M & E. A series of orientations, meetings and open forum were conducted by the contractors prior to the actual implementation of the activities based on MC No. 04, series of 2000. After the field activities, initial result of the M & E was presented by the contractors to the SUSIMO and PO for discussion and confirmation. Final report of the results of the M&E was also presented to the management of DENR Region 8 for comments with the presence of SUSIMO and PO. The M & E activities were properly undertaken by the contractor as a result of the close coordination with the DENR and the PO.

Infrastructure contractor (A&C Enterprise)

The contractor closely coordinated with all the concerned parties (LGU’s, PO, DENR,) and smoothly implemented the infrastructure projects. In spite of the three (3) variations made as additional work targets, the contractor was able to complete the infrastructure project on June 30, 2003.

Expertise and Staff Qualification

The Assisting Organization (EDCAI)

Most of the staff of EDCAI were foresters. However, except for the AO president, they had limited experiences in actual community organizing. All the contracted community organizing activities under (Phase I & II) were properly conducted based on the approved contract in the context of the project objectives (Sustainable Forest Management of the PO).

The PO (BAKHAW, Inc.)

Majority of the BOD of BAKHAW, Inc. had attended formal high school/education. The general literacy of the entire PO membership is considered low as majority had only an elementary education. Although, BAKHAW, Inc. was properly trained in all

23 aspects of project operations (planning, budgetary, etc.), the BOD is still dependent on the SUSIMO particularly in terms of policy making and decision-making. Hence, SUSIMO staff has recommended its gradual pull out from the project site until such time when the PO can sustainably manage their activities independently without any supervision from the DENR.

M&E Contractors (TPEC-MPDAI & VIRUE, Inc.)

Both M & E contractors (TPEC-MPDAI for physical and VIRTUE for institutional benefit assessment) of the project have the expertise in conducting the M & E activities. Both contractors have technical staff composed of foresters, sociologist, engineers and agriculturist who conducted the actual field activities based on the guidelines.

Infrastructure contractor (A&C Enterprise)

The A & C Enterprises as contractor has several staff composed mostly of engineers. The contractor had the expertise and experience to complete the required specification as stated in the contract. They had enough manpower to provide good quality outputs for the projects.

5. Other matters relating to Subproject Implementation

Please choose the item(s) from the following list on which you have any comment, check it (them), and describe it (them) with measure and results in (B) below.

A.  Technical  Financial  Institutional  Economic  Social/Distributional  Others

 Description (in detail) Technical

a. Change of species (from bungalon, pagatpat species to bacauan lalaki and babae) and planting scheme (from planting of nursery seedling to direct planting using propagules).

Out of the original target of 696.30 hectares plantation establishment using nursery-raised seedlings, only 100 hectares was established during middle of second year (CY 2002) operation. The 100 hectares mangrove plantation located at the seaward portion was

24 planted with nursery raised seedlings of bungalon and pagatpat species. After two months of planting, the survival of the said scheme was noted to be very low from the standard of 80% survival rate. Hence, the remaining target of nursery-raised seedlings was shifted to direct planting and the 100 hectares already established plantation was replanted with the same scheme using Bacauan bato and lalaki species. The said modification considered the fact that bakauan species planted through direct planting at the CSD area has higher survival rate as compared to nursery-raised seedlings. The modification was made only after the approval of the request by DENR region 8 management as submitted by the PO through the SUSIMO.

After meeting the target of 1,396.30 hectares, succeeding activities like replanting, Bakauan lalaki and Bakauan bato were henceforth used through direct planting. Results of the modification revealed that the survival rate increased to 85.85%. b. Area and location (Inclusion of adjacent mudflat as part of the CSD area)

The original CSD area was located within the plantable mudflat of Barangays Cruz, Baguimbin, Plaridel and Congcosme with a target area of 1,396.30. The project however, encountered shortfall of CSD area during establishment phase (CY2001 and CY 2002) with respect to this original planting site. The presence of canals and water logged areas located within the original planting site further contributed to the situation in terms of availability of planting site. On this, the fishermen, shell gatherers and other mudflat users demanded Project to delineate specifically the areas not to be included for planting and areas for boat ways.

As a result, the CSD area was expanded to adjacent plantable mudflat of Barangay Duljugan, Cantoha-on and Mazawalo, Palompon, Leyte to complete the 1,396.20 hectares CSD target area. c. Change of Staking to Fencing

The conversion from staking of individual planting spots into fencing of the plantation parcel was made after the establishment of some 150 hectares mangrove plantation. Per actual implementation and computation expenses, the cost per bamboo stake was PHP 1.20 (labor and materials) while the budget stipulated under the WFP was only PHP 0.25. Provision of bamboo stakes prior to planting therefore was

25 not financially feasible on the part of the PO. A request was made by the PO to the DENR Regional Office to allow the conversion of staking activity into fencing including appropriation for budget. The request was also approved by DENR regional management on the basis of financial feasibility and since fencing would also provide protection of the established mangrove plantation.

d. Delay in the provision of technical assistance from the JBIC-TA to the PO, AO & SUSIMO staff prior to the start of the plantation establishment particularly in the site characterization and site species matching. Had it been provided immediately, the actual expenses of the PO in raising 325,000 seedlings and the corresponding cost for the establishment of 100 ha. mangrove plantation using nursery seedlings would have been avoided. The replanting of the 100 ha. through direct planting using bacauan lalaki and bato propagules was observed to have higher survival rate than using nursery-raised seedlings per approved appraisal report of the project. The 100 ha. mangrove plantation originally established using nursery-raised seedlings is located at the seaward portion of the CSD area.

e. FSP Subproject implementation is technically feasible as to project area and its objectives. It helped improve the socio-economic condition of the subproject community while developing the coastal environment of Palompon, Leyte particularly the barangays covered by the project. Although, there were some lapses in the implementation, the project generally provided various benefits to the community.

III. ACTION TAKEN BY THE AOS, APS AND POS RELATING TO RECOMMENDATION(S)

1. Recommendation(s) made by SUSIMO

SUSIMO check: This article is ( applicable. or  not applicable. There has been no recommendation with regard to the Subproject).

 The SUSIMO recommended direct planting instead of employing nursery raised seedlings especially on the seaward portion of the area to have quality plantations.  The SUSIMO recommended to the AO the training of PO officers on IEC and the continuation of IEC campaign to PO members, officers as well as to the whole community.

26  Transparency was also recommended especially on the financial aspects. This is very important considering that the PO has nine existing livelihood projects. 2. Action Taken and Results

 The PO requested the Regional Office for a change in planting scheme using direct planting instead of nursery-raised seedlings. As approved by the Regional Office, the PO adopted the direct planting especially on the sea ward portion of the plantation resulting to high survival rate.  The AO strengthened their IEC campaign by conducting meetings, dialogues, film showing on the importance of the mangrove plantations. Additional billboards within the CBFM area were posted by the PO so that the community will be guided accordingly.  There has been regular reporting on the financial aspects including livelihood projects during regular board meetings. Likewise, the status of the financial aspects of the PO posted on the PO bulletin board every quarter.

C. Description (in detail)

During the initial project implementation, the SUSIMO had experienced problem on the maintenance of equipment specifically, computer and motor boat engine. In the case of the computer, repair could not be undertaken right away because of lack of spare parts in Ormoc City. The repair was completed only when the repair center received order of spare parts from the supplier in Manila. On the other hand, the availability of a technician who has the expertise on marine engine holds the key in solving the maintenance problem of motorboat engine. There were times when the SUSIMO had experienced 2-3 days delay in the repair because of the unavailability of the technician.

To resolve the problem, SUSIMO and PO scheduled with the technician a quarterly check-up of motorboat engine. The PO also experienced problem in the maintenance of communication equipment like hand-held radio. The battery pack for

28 hand-held radio is still secured at Cebu City which normally entails traveling cost when there are no available units in Palompon, Leyte.

3. Maintenance Method

34 Content of Method

The maintenance of the SUSIMO facilities and equipment was carried out by the ASU of the SMO. The MOOE budget (e.g. object 23- repair and maintenance) was utilized for the repair of the SUSIMO facilities to maintain its serviceability.

The ASU conducted pre-inspection of the computer and motorboat engine in coordination with the VBU and the technicians with expertise in computer and motor engine maintenance. After determining the nature of repair and cost requirement, the ASU prepared all the necessary documents so that the billing on the repair could be processed at the Regional Office.

The repair of the PO equipment and facilities was also done through pre-inspection to determine the nature and cost, with the property custodian of the PO doing follow-ups for the completion of the repair. Payment was done through the resolution of the BOD allowing release of funds for the repair. All PO facilities and equipment are recorded in the logbook of the PO property custodian, with the end users issued memorandum receipt (MR). In the case of the motorized bancas, four pump boat operators who were assigned each, were also responsible for the maintenance of their units. The audit committee of four members is responsible for the conduct of yearly inventory for all project facilities in coordination with the property custodian.

Frequency

A quarterly check-up of the motorcycle was undertaken by the SUSIMO. Maintenance of other facilities and equipment is done as the need arises. Registration of motorcycles is done by the SUSIMO-ASU yearly.

The same process is true for PO facilities and equipment. A quarterly check-up especially for the transportation equipment is done. All other facilities are maintained as the need arises.

 Technological transfer (e.g. application of technology used in the Subproject to other similar projects and subprojects)

 Employment creating (e.g. during construction, contribution to the sector(s) after completion)

 Income-raising (e.g. income of the residents in the region)

 Other intended or unintended effects on the relevant sector(s) and/or the region concerned

B. Please give details for each of the item(s) you checked.

Technological transfer (e.g. application of technology used in the Subproject to other similar projects and subprojects)

The positive results of adopting direct planting scheme of Bacauan lalaki and Bacauan babae, as manifested by good survival rate encouraged . the LGU of Palompon, Leyte to adopt similar strategy in the implementation of the Mangrove Rehabilitation Project under CBRMP in Palompon, Leyte.

Employment creating (e.g. during construction, contribution to the sector(s) after completion)

The implementation of the CSD activities, involvement in infrastructure projects generated employment in the community that benefited not only PO members but non-members as well. There were about 90,685 man days generated by the Subproject. Employment opportunities have been enhanced even more with the implementation of several livelihood projects by the BAKHAW.

Income raising

Employment in the Subproject either as hired laborers or involvement in livelihood projects upgraded the socio-economic status of both PO members and non-members in the four FSP barangays. The monitoring and evaluation (M & E) particularly on Institutional and Project Benefit Assessment conducted by VIRTUE, Inc. for the final year of the project revealed that:

36  annual household income of PHP 64,764.00 gradually increased to PHP 73,510.00 per year or 14% increase equivalent to PHP 8,746.00

 increase in income enabled 55% to improve their houses while 20% bought appliances and furniture, 10% were able to send their children to school; 5% acquired fishing gears and 10% used the money for other uses.

Other Benefits

The rehabilitation of the road provided the community mobility and ease in the transport of farm and marine products that is significant in the improvement of the residents’ living condition.

The PO also involved and committed itself in socio-economic services. The rehabilitation of 1,396.30 ha. of mangrove area provided the marginal communities with various livelihood opportunities and long- term benefits.

VI. Others

The SUSIMO, PO and AO staff actively participated/hosted the following activities;

1. Kochi University Mission to Palompon FSP-JBIC Subproject Site dated August 2002. 2. SAPI Mission to Palompon FSP-JBIC Subproject Site dated November 2002. 3. Educational /cross visit tour in successful reforestation projects in Region IV and Region V on April 2003 4. Educational /cross visit tour in successful reforestation projects in Region VI I Region V1 on November 2003.

37 VII. CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS:

 The implementation of the Palompon Mangrove Rehabilitation Subproject on the whole is very satisfactory.

 The creation of SUSIMO with capable staff and deployment of credible NGO (EDCAI) to cater to the requirements of the Subproject site played a great role in the successful Subproject implementation.

 The strong support of DENR top management inspired implementers to give utmost best for the Project.

 Integrity of people directly involved in the Subproject implementation from the Region, PENRO, CENRO and the SUSIMO staff, and support from the LGUs (municipal and barangay level) and other relevant institutions was a strong motivation for all concerned.

 The PO possesses strong commitment to sustainably manage the Subproject even after the presence of the government in the site.

 It is recommended that an in-depth study be conducted during the project appraisal period to come-up with a more realistic project development plan.

 It is recommended that CSD fund releases conform with the schedule of CSD activities as indicated in the WFP to avoid delay of project implementation.

 There must be a review of the project cost (e.g. Field supplies, labor, etc.) to determine the need for contingency measures.

 Concerned CENRO & PENRO must be given the privilege to select SUSIMO Staff for the project.
