Name of the lead applicant United Nations Industrial Development Organization Title of the action Renewable Energy Technology to Increase Value- Added of Seaweeds in Tawi-Tawi (RETS) 2 The action 2.1. Description of the action 2.1.1. Description (max 13 pages) Tawi-Tawi is the southernmost frontier of the Philippines. The archipelagic province, belonging to the Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (ARMM), consists of a group of islands and islets blessed with abundant natural resources. The vast shallow coastal areas of Tawi-Tawi makes it very conducive for farming of seaweeds (Eucheuma), which is the major source of carrageenan, a seaweed extract with multitudes of uses from cosmetics, food additives, and other products. Ten of the eleven municipalities of Tawi-Tawi produce seaweed, making the province the leading supplier of seaweeds throughout the country with 70% of total production. However, Tawi-Tawi’s seaweeds industry is faced with problems as declining production and annual value. Tawi-Tawi is the largest producer of seaweeds in ARMM but ranks only sixth in terms of value. Tawi-Tawi also remains among the poorest and least electrified provinces in the country. The bulk of seaweeds production comes from the island municipalities of Sitangkai, Panglima Sugala, Tandubas, and Sibutu, that are each served by National Power Corporation – Small Power Utilities Group (NPC-SPUG) diesel generator units. However, household electrification rates on average is less than 20%, and even those connected to the network receive only between 12 and 16 hours of electricity service daily. The United Nations Industrial Development Organization (UNIDO) and Mindanao Development Authority (MinDA) have agreed to cooperate in pursuit of the sustainable development objectives of Mindanao and have identified the promotion of renewable energy technologies for productive use as an initial area for collaboration. The proposed action aims to increase and extend the availability of electricity service in these island municipalities that are home to about 15,000 seaweed farmers, through the renewable energy hybridization of the island grids in the municipalities of Sitangkai and Sibutu. The development, construction and commissioning of a solar PV-diesel genset hybrid system will integrate the assessment and design of appropriate water supply systems. The Action will demonstrate the importance of the water-energy nexus. Water is necessary in the processing in the processing of raw dried seaweeds and at the same time EuropeAid/158417/DD/ACT/PH Page 3 of 60 15 January 2016 Annex A.2 - Full Application with tracked changes 061218.doc increases the viability of the RE-hybrid systems by providing and increasing baseload demand. The proposed action will also explore the application of appropriate decentralized RE systems along the seaweed value chain in the municipalities of Panglima Sugala and Tandubas, particularly in post-harvest processing and facilities. The proposed action integrates efforts to enhance the quality and increase the value of seaweeds produced by the mentioned communities with those of the provincial government of Tawi-Tawi and the Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources (BFAR)-ARMM. The energy component of the action will also be integrated with the plans and programs of the local government to deliver community social and welfare services, thus improving the quality of life in the seaweed farming communities. Electricity is needed to provide adequate water supply infrastructure, to provide water to improve household and community health, nutrition, sanitation and hygiene. Integration of the energy aspect of the action with productive uses and income-generating activities will improve the households’ ability to pay for the energy service and thus contributes to the sustainability of the action. The objectives of the action are summarized as follows: Overall Objective Reduce if not eliminate poverty in the seaweed farming communities of Tawi-Tawi and strengthen their economic and climate resilience through the integration of energy access improvement with overall rural development efforts, plans and programs. Specific Objectives • Increase and extend the availability of electricity service in the selected seaweed farming communities in Tawi-Tawi, in the municipalities of Sitangkai, Panglima Sugala, Tandubas, and Sibutu, through renewable energy hybridization of the existing Objectives of the action diesel mini-grids and development of decentralized RE systems • Integrate the assessment and design of a feasible water supply system • Increase the production of raw dries seaweeds and the value added of seaweed farming and increase its income and employment generation potential through the availability of electricity services and use of renewable energy technologies (RETs) • Improve the delivery of community services such as health and nutrition, education, sanitation through the availability of electricity services in off-grid and rural seaweed farming communities Seaweed farming communities in the municipalities of Sitangkai, Sibutu, Panglima Sugala and Tandubas, Bureau of Fisheries and Target group(s) Aquatic Resources (BFAR) ARMM and Tawi-Tawi, (Tawi-Tawi Electric Cooperative Inc.

Cortel1 ABSTRACT Poverty in the country remains a challenge for many Filipinos. The growing prevalence of poverty needs efficient solutions and this can be done by managing the local cities and municipalities to easily identify the factors that affect poverty. Despite the many efforts of the government and even by some of the non-government organizations in their poverty alleviation programs, the poverty incidences at the city and municipal level in the Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (ARMM) remains alarming. Thus, this paper aims to present the results of a study that generates the city and municipal level poverty statistics of the Philippines and use the statistics to assess the poverty conditions in the region for year 2012. In generating the city and municipal level statistics, an indirect small area estimation (SAE) technique was employed which follows a model-based approach. The city and municipal level estimates of ARMM were generated using the Poisson regression modeling approach based on the income collected through the Family Income and Expenditure Survey, Labor Force Survey (LFS), Census of Population and Housing (CPH), Barangay Listing (BL) and administrative data sets of the region.

  • The Price of Lasting Peace: a Two-Pronged Analysis of the Development Causes of Political Violence in the Bangsamoro Conflict
    The Price of Lasting Peace: A Two-Pronged Analysis of the Development Causes of Political Violence in the Bangsamoro Conflict A thesis submitted to the Auckland University of Technology in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in Social Sciences authored by Segfrey Dayao Gonzales under the supervision of Dr Kate Nicholls and Dr Erik Landhuis School of Social Sciences and Public Policy Auckland University of Technology May 2017 Abstract Like other developing nations, the Philippines has a long history of internal strife, especially in Mindanao where the Bangsamoro (Moro Nation) separatist struggle has extracted immense human and economic costs over the past five decades. Social science can offer a rich empirical understanding of the causes of these continued outbreaks of political violence in order to better inform policy responses and preventive measures. This thesis examines the Bangsamoro conflict in terms of its relationship with economic development. Drawing on the grievance perspective derived from the cross-country civil war literature, it posits that political violence occurs disproportionately in areas with low levels of economic development. This overarching hypothesis is then tested using multidimensional indicators of development to include measures of social and material well-being and effective governance and service delivery. It then conducts a two-pronged analysis of the causes of conflict. Factors associated with the incidence of political violence, operationally defined as armed clashes between government troops and rebel groups, are first examined using statistical analysis. Specifically, it applies regression analysis to the 2011-2015 Bangsamoro Conflict Monitoring System (BCMS) dataset to identify correlates of the incidence of political violence in municipalities of the Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (ARMM), the epicentre of the Moro insurgency.

  • Chapter 5 Existing Conditions of Flood and Disaster Management in Bangsamoro
    Comprehensive capacity development project for the Bangsamoro Final Report Chapter 5. Existing Conditions of Flood and Disaster Management in Bangsamoro CHAPTER 5 EXISTING CONDITIONS OF FLOOD AND DISASTER MANAGEMENT IN BANGSAMORO 5.1 Floods and Other Disasters in Bangsamoro 5.1.1 Floods (1) Disaster reports of OCD-ARMM The Office of Civil Defense (OCD)-ARMM prepares disaster reports for every disaster event, and submits them to the OCD Central Office. However, historic statistic data have not been compiled yet as only in 2013 the report template was drafted by the OCD Central Office. OCD-ARMM started to prepare disaster reports of the main land provinces in 2014, following the draft template. Its satellite office in Zamboanga prepares disaster reports of the island provinces and submits them directly to the Central Office.
