PURPOSE OF THE PROJECT

The resurgence of right wing populism in the Philippines is a reaction to the slow rate of inclusive development, and the perceived ineffectiveness of liberal democracy in many respects. While the new administration has committed to a development agenda that is aligned with the SDGs, the implementation of this agenda seems to have led to the gradual constriction of democratic space in the process. Scaling-up the PPFI initiatives illustrate that there is room for active citizen engagement in governance. The Citizens forum, on the other hand, offers an alternative platform for citizens and organized groups including civil society organizations, faith-based groups and the academe that are otherwise excluded in traditionally organized civil society-state engagements. Citizens can constructively engage the administration in support of its development agenda and, by doing so; protect the principles of democratic governance. At the national level, the Citizens Forum provides a vital mechanism by which citizens may directly influence national policy, particularly in regard to Charter Change and human rights.

For 2015-2016, the programme seeks to broaden the democratic space on citizens’ rights in the Philippines through the following components:

Component # 1: Expanding the Democratic Space. The project continues to support the human rights-based approach in examining development issues and in initiating advocacy actions for policy reforms especially those that impact on marginalized sectors such as women, farmers, fisher folk, indigenous peoples and the urban poor. It acknowledges the diversity in political and ideological persuasions in social movements and therefore ensures that policy discussions create an environment that respects these differences but at the same time result in concrete advocacy actions and ultimately, policy reforms. This year, policy discussions on current national governance issues such as Constitutional change, and prospects for federalism will be tackled as they impact on poverty, inequality, discrimination and people’s participation. This will be conducted in a series of Citizens Forums conducted separately or in collaboration with other institutional partners who will be conducting major governance conferences this year. This forum is primarily convened and composed of grassroots organizations and NGO-support groups. It will serve as a venue for sharing of knowledge and tools particularly those that provide solutions to address deficits in the State’s obligations. It is designed to build and expand the constituencies among local citizens and organized groups around current governance issues/themes. It will also use online advocacy campaign through social media and by engaging various media agencies such as Rappler, Inquirer, and CNN. Local versions of the Forum will be set-up by G-HUBS in selected regions and provinces to reach out to those in remote and impoverished communities.

Component# 2: Empowering Citizens as Claimholders. The project supports citizen’s participation in governance processes such as planning, legislation, service delivery and public finance management. Meaningful participation requires citizens to be fully equipped with the values, knowledge and tools before they can actively engage government. The project supported and will continue to support the People’s Public Finance Institutes (PPFI) set-up in 2013 to empower ordinary citizens like farmers, fisher folks, indigenous peoples, and informal workers with the continuing education and training on public finance. Now on its 5th year, there are at least 11 local universities nationwide that are hosting the PPFI. This year the project will support the development of new learning modules and the expansion of PPFIs to other five (5) provinces including the training of additional PPFI Fellows or faculty.

The projects initiate reform through a rights-based, local democracy model that aims to strengthen voice channels between

claimholders (citizens), and duty-bearers (government). Interventions will be geared toward establishing indirect and direct voice channels at the local level, where the practice of democratic dialogue, constituency-building, and inclusive participation can be strengthened.

Citizen empowerment needs to be sustained in order to put premium in the sector’s contribution in the vibrancy of the country’s democracy and expression of human rights. It is imperative to ensure that they are not only empowered by means of building their capacities but more importantly, by means of providing platforms for their sustained participation in the governance and ultimately, the democratic process.

Progress towards achieving the Outcome [A brief analysis of the status of the situation and any observed change(s) made possible by the project contribution, at a higher development result level. Make reference to the applicable MDGs or PDP goals/targets]

Citizen participation calls for involvement of ordinary citizens or organized groups not only to assess and identify their needs but more so to participate in planning and decision-making; thereby assisting in the management and monitoring of public resources and exacting accountability from public servants and political leaders. Civil and political rights such as freedom of expression and access to information are essential to a meaningful political participation, which is in itself is considered as human rights. While Philippines has been known in the world as Asia’s oldest democracy, the Country’s recent status in the 2013 Democracy Index classified the Country as a one of the “Flawed Democracies”. This pertains to countries which have free and fair elections and even if there are problems (such as infringements on media freedom), basic civil liberties will be respected. There are just significant weaknesses in other aspects of democracy, including problems in governance, an underdeveloped political culture and low levels of political participation.

In the Philippines, civil society has a long tradition rooting from the civic and free associations which have manifested themselves on crucial periods such as 1896 Revolution which overthrew the colonial government; and the more recent 1986 People Power which

Final Project Report_ template as of 31 July 2013 (rev 27 May 2016)

ended the 20-year authoritarian regime.

With the sector’s key role in democratic restoration, civic participation has been enshrined in the 1987 Philippine Constitution and has since provided citizens with greater involvement in government and in policymaking processes. The Local Government Code (LGC) of 1991 also provides for the participation of CSOs in local government planning, policy making and delivery of basic services. The LGC requires for civil society to be represented in local development councils.

There also varying responses to or relationship of government towards civil societies. During the administration of President Benigno Aquino III, civil society are views as a key partner in promoting transparent, accountable and participatory governance. Partnerships with civil society to introduce and sustain governance reforms has been sustained in the government processes. The Philippines has also become one of the founding members of the Open Government Partnership that engage a broad spectrum of national and local CSOs, business groups, academe and other stakeholders in open government endeavours. In 2014, the country won the Gold Open Government Award for its Grassroots Participatory Budgeting program.

With the current government, the relationship between duty bearers and civil society has been challenged and changed due to the leadership decisions and priorities agenda. Support have been reduced and talks on federalism and charter change over the importance of human rights and democracy were given more to worthy talks than institutional relationship built where shaken by political interest.

For almost 6 years, cooperation and collaboration of CHR, UNDP and the CSOs in promoting and upholding human rights and democracy have strengthened. This is evident, when the citizens defended the Commission on Human Rights from the State pronouncement of providing CHR a P1,000 budget for its 2017. The CSOs/ NGOs expressed dismay on how government perspectives and values on human rights and our democracy even if it’s enshrined in the Philippine bill of rights.

The project supported the partnership of the Commission on Human Rights with the civil society organizations or its Responsible Partners (RPs) in implementing their thematic projects and programs that respond to key human rights and governance issues and concerns that affects the rights of the marginalized sectors. Areas supported under the project are on women empowerment, political and electoral reforms, environmental stewardship, human rights & governance, right to know and access to information, anti- discrimination, gender equality, public finance, transparency, transforming public sectors, educating local communities on human rights and participation to deepen and uphold human rights and democracy.

The project initiatives have increased the level of awareness and understanding on human rights and HRBA principles thru the various platforms organized by various claimholders and duty bearers. It provided spaces for the civil society organizations to articulate and voice out their views and opinions on human rights. HRBA had been applied in framing concept papers, programme and training design and modules. It influenced CHR and CSOs when conceptualizing project/ activity plans, programs & policies, communicating strategies to promote human rights to various stakeholders, capacitating and constituency building of multi- stakeholders.

The project results contributed to the PDP’s result matrix on Anti-Corruption, Transparent, Accountable and Participatory Governance, Sector Outcome 7.a. Effective & Transparent governance practices and Poverty reduction & Empowerment of the Poor & Vulnerable, Sector Outcome 7.b Enhanced Access to Justice.

4. NIM/NGO AUDIT FINDINGS AND SPOT CHECK RECOMMENDATIONS:

All NIM/ NGO audit findings and spot check recommendations from 2012 to 2016 were implemented and relevantly helpful to the Implementing Partner as this made them more aware on the audit processes and keen on observing and practicing the areas in the NIM guidelines for project management & implementation. CHR closely coordinated with the UNDP PMO for technical and administrative support to ensure that the project complies with the audit and spot check recommendations. Regular consultation, coordination and monitoring were done by the Project Manager with the CHR IP Head and/or National Director - Focal Commissioner and Office Directors & Chief Division from the following offices i.e. Finance Management, Budget and Cash, General Administration, Project’s Directors & Finance Officer of RPs including the UNDP Finance & Democratic Governance Unit.

NIM/NGO audit findings and spot check recommendations documents were tracked, updated and reported on a quarterly basis to UNDP DG & MSU since the project have undergone several audit exercises & spot checks. Furthermore, the results of the project audit were shared to the concerned CHR offices & Responsible Partners for their information on the audit recommendations, so transparency and accountability on the judicious and proper use of the project funds should be uphold at all times.

5. SOFT ASSISTANCE NOT PROVIDED THROUGH PROJECTS OR PROGRAMMES

What are the key activities (if any) of soft assistance undertaken by the project? YES UNDP Regional Bangkok through the Being LGBTI in Asia partly supported the advocacy initiatives of the Stop the Discrimination Coalition and CHR when we conducted the regional multi-stakeholder’s consultations, participated by local IPs, LBGTIs, Youth, Senior Citizens and Persons with Disabilities regarding the Comprehensive Anti-Discrimination to Legislation in 2015.

What are the main constraints in progress towards outcome that require additional soft assistance? Time and availability of TRAC fund were the main constraints. Despite this, the project was able to undertake the project as it closely monitors the target outputs and allocated budget. None moving fund were immediately reported and requested for repogramming/ AWP were revised accordingly. Sometimes we have to scale down the target indicators, when the risks are high and cannot be resolved. We also report when some planned activities were deferred and/or pending to justify obligation/ or delay in some of the project deliverables. In this way, we can fully utilize the resources and complete the outputs.

6. LESSONS LEARNED: • Leadership “champion” is vital in the facilitation and implementation of the project’s work plan. Presence a focal person and Project Management Team can help fast tracks and effectively implement the project. in implementing the project. Decision of IP Head on critical and urgent decisions on concerns can immediately facilitates and resolves gaps and issues among project partners and stakeholders. • Respect and mutual trust nurtures and strengthen further the partnership among the duty-bearers and claimholders. • Planned adequate resources (manpower, machine and money) effectively & efficiently managed the project thereby producing better results that benefits and impact the target beneficiaries. Time to evaluate and monitor the results & impact of the project should also be considered at all times. • Good relation and regular communication, coordination with the partners facilitates synergies and convergence in the attainment of the project outputs. • Integrity, transparency and accountability and due diligence strengthens the core foundations of the partnership (UNDP+CHR+ multi-lateral stakeholders) results to achieving 100 outputs, full utilization of the grant support and satisfying the targeted audiences. • Definitive and committed partners from the civil society, non-government organizations, faith-based groups and academe who are good & right source of knowledge, expertise and skills when implementing the project even when delays arose. • Regular coordination and being transparent in communicating the realities in the project helped a lot. There is trust, mutual understanding, respect and good rapport is seen during and after the project. Easily partners provide support and information when UNDP or CHR request. Partners are more engaging and existed to the ideas and next steps of the project. • We could have done differently or better, if the project is on a multi-year grant rather on annual basis. The delay in the approval of work & financial plan post significant risk in the quality of the results. The allocation also of the budget, e.g. if previous year’s results to achieving xxx of satisfactory results, then fund for succeeding year should be maintained or increased. Realities is that yearly funds get depleted, which affecting the sustainability of the project, even to the point not renewing the support. We should also put more time to execute the planned activities, to do the procurement before a project is implemented. Work will be more relax and not stressful by the end of the year. We would have time to monitor and assess the project results. • Content development. Content framing is very important to set at the start of the proposal making and discussion with the project partner and target audiences. This provides clear perceptive and directions on what, when, where and how the project will be undertaken. Levelling-off at every stage of the project implementations is good so planned outputs, strategies, target audiences, and resources can be managed accordingly by the partners given the timeline set for the completion. • Capacity and tools development. - Research and development of PPF modules and curriculum; forging of MOU with universities; lobby and advocacy for the passage of citizens participation in public finance bill; platform sharing on PPF with Executive and Legislative, government agencies and CSOs - Build and strengthen CSO partnership and network; training and researches on rights; platform sharing and dialogues on national issues that are relevant to development and governance; lobbying and advocacy campaigns for enabling policies for marginalized sectors and CSOs; communicate to UNSAC members,and conduct of governance review and assessment. - Baseline survey on voter’s education, research and gathering of information on Political clans/political dynasty, production of research knowledge on people, politics and power, sharing/ discussion on MoneyPolitics, anti-corruption and candidates for 2013 and 2016 elections, pork barrel and government leadership thru use of social media and old media formats to inform the people, MOA between COMELEC and LGU, DSWD

• Action research and baseline survey on Indigenous Women, platform sharing/ consultation on mining with affects and displace the Indigenous Peoples from their ancestral lands; dialogues with Executive and Legislative officials; lobby and advocacy campaigns of enabling policies for IPs; campaigns and dissemination of consensus IP agenda to electoral candidates • Regional Multi-stakeholder’s consultation and dialogue with Committee on Human Rights and Justice to advocate for the passage of the Comprehensive anti-discrimination bill that will benefit all sectors especially the marginalized sectors i.e. youth, indigenous peoples, persons with disabilities and older persons and LGBTIs • Organized conferences on citizenship and public administration to present citizen assessment indicator and human rights agenda showing the dimensions and dynamics of public sector reform

7. PARTNERSHIP STRATEGIES The key to strengthen and establish good rapport with the partners at the very onset of the project, is to be open, clear, transparent in defining the project overview and agenda, when communicating with partners. Practice respect, integrity, due diligence and ethical standards at all times; be sensitive on the issues and put balance and understanding when making advice with concerned sectors; have a sense of urgency and know your priorities and commitment.

• Participation and partnership to promote human rights in various governance platforms/ mechanisms. The various sectoral issues and concerns are probed and tackled through the conduct of planning, research, policy & program formulation and implementation, advocacy and project implementation addressing the concerns on IPs, IDPs, children, women, youth and student and PWD sectors. Sharing, consultation, discussion of project experiences and best practices by the partners and concerned stakeholders were enhanced.

• Formulation, issuance and adoption of policy measures and mechanisms. Policy measures/ agenda are discussed or consulted with concerned government agency and non-govt organizations before it lobbied and advocated into the executive or legislative both national and local institutions in order to address relevant sectoral issues

• Strengthen capacities and mechanisms. Brings together the civil society, government sector and CHR to understand, learn and work together on relevant HR issues and concerns and come up with common solution, commitment and agreement to address different issues of the basic sectors to further empower their skills and knowledge. Capacities and empowers the disadvantaged sectors such as IPs, women, youth, student and PWD sectors. Human rights or human rights -based approach (HRBA) is mainstreamed in the processes of project activities of the CSOs/ NGOs and government, at the national, local and even regional levels. Effectiveness of top-bottom and bottom-up approach and convergence and relation among government and multi-stakeholders works best.

• Communication and consolidation of Knowledge Products. Research, baseline study, information and investigation gathering are the vital tools of information which help empower and deepen the people’s understanding on current issues, like pork barrel scam, election violence, political clans, mediocrity in government leadership, mining and environmental degradation, disaster and climate change etc. This challenged our current project partners to articulate, advocate, monitor and document the issues. Situational trending, pilot study, evaluation and analysis, formulation of concrete and measurable plan of actions are done to understand, educate and promote the culture of human rights, electoral & political reforms, accountability and integrity, public finance, and people’s participation. As a result, it empowers and strengthens the current advocacies and call to action on the civil society’s participation to uphold, document good governance, and democracy in the country using human rights as universal lens.

• Assessment and Monitoring. Project activities are monitored and evaluated by the partners which helps in the upscaling of project results. Issues on environment, climate change, mining and accountability were also considered.

• South-south cooperation. Opens new opportunities for understanding, exchanges and learning, cooperation and partnership among various stakeholders at the international, national and local levels.

The thematic and sectoral coverage of human rights is too big, so it would be good if we have 3-4 staff helping in the management of the project. Even if there is IP, it’s difficult to get secondment personnel from CHR as they also lack personnel to work on the regular function of the office. For more than 5 years, CHR-UNDP has been manned by 2 people only and the overload has been tremendously stressful. Observe the NIM procedures and policies, the audit findings and spot check recommendations when managing the project. Always be prepared, be ahead of time and practice complete staff work before meeting with partners.

Note: All projects partners have observed and adopted the gender equality and sensitivity when activities were undertaken, adopting the PANTHER principles of human rights-based approach to governance processes at all levels.

9. REPORTING ON OTHER CROSS-CUTTING ISSUES Human rights-based approach PANTHER principles are applied in framing & developing programme/ project context, setting objectives, formulating plans, programs, policy making & advocating campaigns and preparing the budget/ resources. Using the principles of HRBA provides lens, uniqueness and depth when doing a project. Makes a lot of sense and significance when there is human right ‘lenses’ is applied in the project management and implementation.

1. Participation of women in electoral process, mandatory representation in key governance structures; leaders in thematic & sectoral fora such as indigenous women’s rights, violence against women, LGBTI in the workplace; 2. Accountability

Some of the emerging lessons from the project experiences are: ▪ High interest and excitement to work among IP/ IW organizations, IPDs and other support-groups, however with limited time, resources and people; ▪ Taking small-steps are more effective, that is it better to implement smaller projects that would cater to the right target audiences. In addition, it is hard to manage grants among bigger groups; ▪ There are lots of good stories and field experiences shared by the partners, but little document can be read in the report; ▪ In the local level, there are resistance from LGUs on IP governance and IPs/ IWs that remains highly marginalized; ▪ Challenge to implement and monitor satellite voter’s registration in far-flung areas and high security risks; ▪ Noticeable hunger of IPs for more information, strong affirmation/ recognition in the democratic governance processes; ▪ Local churches/ faith-based organizations plays a critical role in promoting political & ESCR reforms at the local level; and ▪ Newer themes i.e. climate change, REDD+, DRR are more viable entry points for project engagement, sets of risks and pitfalls; and lastly; ▪ IPs/ IW Participation to right to vote, claim and protection of ancestral lands, preservation of cultural heritage, values and beliefs amidst the discrimination and non-enforcement of pertinent of laws must be accessible and understood as part of their right, roles and votes as a sector is equally important as the rest.

Strengthen Democracy through People’s Participation in Local Public Finance, Social Artistry & Culture and Good Governance. Various partners and networks from government and non-government organizations increased and deepen their understanding and awareness on public budget and spending, accountability and transparency and importance of people’s participation in the various governance issues and processes. Involvement of institutions and individuals increased during the May 2013 election, Pork Barrel and PDAF issues as accountability and trust building has been look upon on the government officials of the land.
